I didn't realise you could just get them updated. How much does he charge you to update it and what are the improved specs e.g. torque, bhp it will just cost you the postage, don,t know the new numbers but you can feel (and hear) the difference  |

Come into a little bit of a "race" with a Clio 197 abiding to the speed limits of course  and was quite surprised how much quicker my car was. Through the corners I felt I could turn in quicker and keep to a tighter line and on the straights in every gear I had to let off. His girlfriend didn't look too impressed after his snobbery looking up and down of my car. That's 1 to the Abarths and 0 to the Renault's. no offence mate but that must be more down to the driver.... the clio is a LOT better handling car than the AGP, however with the tmc box even the standard car is quicker in a straight line |

send your tmc box to daron and he will update it. mine was done last week and the noise it makes is addictive, does mean you keep flooring it and lifting off just for fun  Just got my tuning box back and I think it's a little quicker but the noise doesn't seem to of changed like yours. Do you have any other mods that could be making the noise i.e. custom exhaust etc? |

Do you have any other mods that could be making the noise i.e. custom exhaust etc? nope, totally standard apart from the tmc box. it started on a fast A road on the welsh trip, i could recreate the noise over and over. since then theres only one road around home where i seem to be able to get the revs and speed right though |

Hi all,
I know this may be slightly off topic, but how badly does the TMC box affect Insurance and will it make an improvement to the standard AGP (non SS)? Thanks all.

At the end of the day its up to you whether or not you mention the tuning box to your insurer and each insurer will be different and yes it definately will improve the standard AGP it will bring it from 155bhp to 180bhp so the same as the SS without the box also brings the torque upto 280nm film out the form and have a look http://www.tmcmotorsport.com/CarProducts.aspx |
