Ok going to change the EPROM as per dr Rossi guide on rsvr net
http://forum.rsvr.net/forum_posts.asp?T ... your-eprom
Plus I am more than happy ripping tech stuff apart :)
But to remove the ECU box will it slide out or is it " a big jobbie"
Plus as an aside why would the trim pots need turning to 12 does this put them at some setting in particular ?
Just curious and as it is a dr Rossi chip I will be following the guide ... Well on my own inimitable way

Removing the ecu is not difficult ....
As for the trim pots, I guess 12 O clock is a good nominal setting for how the chip is set to fuel. I presume that you should still adjust them to get the correct CO values but that setting to 12 O'clock will be in the general ballpark to get you going.

It sounds very technical.... So, what are they? I know what they look like etc but beyond that, I've no idea what they do...

Put the chip in and take it for a blast. If it feels good then don't move the trim pots. If you do move them....remember thhe original position

I took pictures of the original positions and changed them anyway

I definitely took it for a blast apparaently the top airfield speed ahs not changed but the way of getting nthere has.... and in conversation it was mentioned that there are some timing changes, one thing I have noticed is how much quicker it fires up almost instant literally have to remember to get your finger off the button quickly
Oh and yes it is not big clever etc but by golly its been some fun I have really had to keep an eye on the IAS

Would the "airfield" have be designated either 62 or 56 then? As both have former runways under their tarmac?

Does it come with certified speed measuring devices that will send you a certificate of achieved speed through the post - together with "loyalty" points - all for a standard fee?

Yes .... Cock all difference to anyone with a Romanian licence no insurance no job no passport etc and a pissed of camper to anyone working with a fixed abode etc.
As for the certification I can only provide copies of pre mod examples.

I've never made use of the facility myself. Didn't see much point as I have never joined the loyalty scheme and think the service is over-priced.
