Been looking at this for sale. Does the re-mapping make it a better car or is it one to steer clear of??

Thorney are a rspected CSL specialist so should not be a problem to be honest. Not driven one with the remap but it doesn't add much more BHP and has been done to 'smooth the ride'...what ever that means...purhaps a smother power delivery maybe.....sure Daz or someone will confirm.
Wouldn't worry about it as it's Thorney...maybe ring them and ask the a few questions....seems very resonably proced for miles as well.

Give John a bell , he will be able to fill you in on the car , all OK though and nothing to worry about , he has looked after all my cars , and building my current race car.Originally posted by AndykThorney are a rspected CSL specialist so should not be a problem to be honest.

Driven John's on track and road and its very smooth , not had it done myself as im slowly doing bits , Brakes - Suspension , then exhaust and upgrade if I decide to go that route .. but as andy says nothing to worry about , give it a little edge and from a trusted tuner :thumbs:
Would only go for buy from trusted actual tuners / Thorney / BMSport etc not those bolt on monkeys , who sell bits, but dont have full experience / rolling road and depth of knowledge, stay clear of some out there !!

Basically improves throttle response and mid/top end torque, helps it pull harder right through to the limiter, also removes top end speed limiter,
20hp sounds a bit optimistic ,from Thorneys site that is.
(SI.... i spoke to CA recently about their remaps, their flash map of a std car adds around 9-10 bhp but again , does the above in relation to throttle response etc. Costs £450 inc vat and ....... get this, they come to your home/work and install the map, all in for the £450 :119: :119:
If you are not impressed/dont like their work, they will uninstall it , and refund.
Pretty furking reasonable if you ask me.
Anyone on here had any experience of their mapping ??

CSL register unmapping day elsewhere afterwards to get more powerOriginally posted by SMDCSL Register Mapping Day at Thorney?
(only going on a graph I've seen where a CSL made more power after being reverted to standard from a Thorney map).
Having driven a Thorney (based on superchips) stage one car I thought my standard car felt quicker? I guess felt quicker and is quicker are different things though in all fairness.
Anyone quoting 20bhp from just a remap on a healthy engine is talking nonsense.
