Thorney Motorsport Custom Remap

mattbedford · 25-01-2009, 07:31 PM

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.

I would like to know who has had this done to a standard CSL and what they thought!

Anyone know the price of the Re Map?

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.

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

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

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 ??
