no point any more, tried to do this. you need a standard car, and all the chips and set of rollers. who will kop the cost.

tell you what i'll make a few calls and see what i can sort out, but unlikely to happen

Unlikely to happen and a very expensive day out :?
The rolling road day that TOURINGDADDY set up was at Portsmouth and they roller RX7's all day long :D
They done a group thing, 3 run's for Ԛ£30 depending on how many turned up :cool:

dan i can be the viper suspect if you like. i'm happy to volunteer my car or ecu (i have a spare ecu with standard chip i can put back into mine) if anyone wants to do tests. May just be the ecu by the time you'd get around to this as i expect the new engine will be in. Also would turn up for a rolling road day for sure.
BBR are pretty cool fella, dont believe you've never heard of them! they have a massive motorsport history, David Brodie was a touring car driver in rs500s i think!
they did the BBR mazda mx5 turbo which was distributed by mazda as a proper model with a mazda warranty, lots of cossie tuning (still have a fast lane mag somewhere where they have an escort cossie that does 0-60 in under 4s winkeye), a golf turbo conversion and loads of other stuff.
i had a gander at their website and the e30 318is isn't listed as a model they do a starchip for though, only the e36. maybe they used to do it? you should give them a call.

just out of interest - what effect has anyone noticed on their fuel economy after chipping their car?
