    Should I remap or not?

    I met the guy incharge of modifying the car. They are tied up with a European company which gives them the maps based on advise from the country of use and the drivers comfort. Very tempting. Will take a decision soon.

    Should I remap or not?

    hi aerial, since this is my everyday use car i was planning a resonated exhaust where it will be silent. i don't think it will get a pronounced sporty note. my car just came back from its scheduled 40,000 kms service with all the filters changed and the engine scanned. its already feeling...

    We have a new forum for oil questions

    Thank you. There was a misprint in my msg. Pls read as castrol is half the price of ows. A friend working for Fuchs felt the same " why 10w60 for a road car. The company modifying the car to a higher bhp are insisting on 10w60 grade. I never thought of Fuchs as a possible oil for cars in India...
