    ECU update isn't a remap.

    B/stone adreniline isn't a LRR tyre. Bridegestone Ecopia, Goodyear Assurance & Michelin (anything with GreenX) are all LRR.

    [QUOTE=brad;1029062]ECU update isn't a remap.

    I know that ECC update is not remap. Where I can done remap? Is worth to go with that?
    I already check internet and found something like this:

    ECU Remap | Chipping | Engine Tune | Peter James Tuning | Superchips


    ok. Thank you for your advice. I will check lrr tires as well.

    There's a tuning & performance area. Suggest you look there.

    The difference of 1 L more per 100 km would work out at about $16 60 per 1000km or $249 for a 15000km a year car.

    That is going from say 5.4L per 100km to 6.4L per 100km

    Is it really worth spending $$$$$$ for that Just drive it and be thankful for what you are getting.

    If you are so worried about it trade it in on an UP. ROFL

    Yeah well I ask You.

    My last vehicle was a TD Cruiser and when travelling and towing I have put $185 of diesel in in the morning and the same when we stopped at night and he's worried about 6L -100km. I was happy to get 17L-100km and got 23 one day with a head wind.

    All relative I guess but if it was mine I wouldn't be growling OR spending heaps to save as little as I said above

    Yes, you are right. Not worth to pay really...
    Anyway, thank you for your answers.
