Coffee Morning

[darrenjoe90]

Fantastic day at revo started with a run down the M1. Drove from Leeds to just south of Sheffield at 80mph and got an average of 26.1mpg


then got bored at that speed and drove at 100( kph of course officer ) and then got an average of 21.2 mpg. I dont think thats bad for an S8. Dont want to go into too many details but i now know my speed restrictor no longer works

And here is a few photos of the day





first photo is showing the side that was damaged but all is ok not apart from one small trim missing just behind the front wheel.




In all there was about 40 cars that turned up so late morning we all went for a drive together. that turned out to be like wacky races with 40 nutters let loose on the roads but it was fun
reffro took my car for a spin then tintin took my car out and both came back with a smile and askin ben for the same map on there cars. It is hard to describe in words how my car drives now with the new map but i would bet that everybody with an S8 thats drives mine will be askin ben for the same. it is just superb !
Anyway it was good to see all there including ben,reffro,tintin, tonupkid and goran

looking good

How on Earth did you achieve 26mpg?! Mine did 20mpg when I collected it in the snow and drove like Miss Daisy on the way home - haven't seen an economy figure starting with a 2 since

Who do the black and avus cars belong to?

[darrenjoe90]

i get a lot better fuel economy now i have had a remap.I used to get about 18mpg but a lot better now. The other two belong to reffro and tintin.

Black one is mine - and cheers Darren - it's a very flattering photo.

T'was a good day out, tho' I missed the convoy blast, due to getting a quote from Pristine for a refurb.

Ben still able to wave his magic wand and make A/S8's even better....

Some very nice looking shiny cars there, think we might need to send a hit team down to kidnap Ben and hold him hostage up here until he does the remap on all of our cars

Glad you guys had a good day, just a wee bit too far for me!!

cheers

Glad the day went well

Spent the day panel bashing and fixing a new cargo floor in my van, but wish I could have been there with you guys

What fuel are you using mate? Can you use anything, or are you restricted to Vpower and the like with that map?

Looked to be a great day - nice one for taking the time to take pictures and posting them up

I don't know about better fuel economy, but my car has been getting faster as the map is adapting to my car and driving. I've done about 120 miles in it since, its phenomenal, far better than I expected. I can feel genuine shove from 2500-3000rpm, real back of the seat push, and its just flies after that, charging hard after 6000rpm too, when previously there was little extra urge. It will genuinely change the way I drive the car, once I get used to its increased performance.

I'll see how the economy goes during the week, but for now I'm just enjoying the torque.

I allways use v-power or bp ultimate anyway but ben did ask if i use v-power so he could advance the timing slightly.

Thanks mate
