Thanks for your suggestions everyone, i did have a brief look at the ECU and did see something purple on it, i'm gonna have to take it to a garage i think. I want to get it rolling roaded but because the front bumper is blended in and also it's really low so i don't think i'll be able to get it on there! Yeah there were some receipts with it. I just want it sorted! The acceleration-1st & 2nd is good, it's just after that, the power just isn't there! :( | |

my car with induction kit and exhaust gets to 110mph in no time!! then slows down a bit to about 122mph! quote: is that with larger/non standard alloys and to the redline in 4th?? coz i think your speedo may be out! my C16xe Gsi with standard alloys does exactly 100mph at about 6100-6200rpm in 4th [Edited on 07-04-2005 by MoNkEy MaGiC] | |

my c16xe does 105-107ish in 4th and thats with backbox n induction kit so if its almost topping out at 110 it sounds a bit iffy | |

but without other mods a chip and so called "enlarged throttle body" will do fuck all for performance (not anything noticable anyway) | |

alot of cars are sold saying "chipped", because most people just believe it and unsure how to check | |

Sounds interesting that the only mods are stuff that you cant really see :look:. Did you get a reciept with the car for the stuff thats supposedly fitted? | |

easy one this, undo the screws on the drivers side kick panel to expose the ecu, unscrew it, unplug it then undo the 2 star headed screws on ecu and you will see the chip, tell me what it says, it will probably say superchip or unichip if it is chipped, does it rev past 6500rpm also. my car had 132bhp and struggled to get past 125mph never found out why | |

Hey everyone, i've recently brought a 1.6 16v sport Corsa, supposedly it's chipped and has enlarged throttle bodies. I know it has had a de-cat but i'm not convinced it's chipped. I've had 110mph out of it but i'm sure it should go quicker. 1st & 2nd gear are good, better since the plugs & leads were changed, but the power just doesn't all seem to be there. Do you think that if it is chipped it could be making it run worse somehow? Or can anyone suggest anything or no a decent place near to me where i could take it(i live in Suffolk) any help would be very much appreciated! Cheers, |
