Been to see the Wizard (of MRC)

I'm a little undecided at the moment wether to have the flat shif & launch control as I really like my clutch !! Hmmmm

It's tempting at the price but I'm in 2 minds as well as I don't think I'd use it out of mechanical sympathy for the car (not just the clutch but the entire drivetrain).

And the MRC sport mode still makes me smile... when it sometimes feels a bit sluggish (mainly due to heatsoak) a quuick press of the button and it feels like it's flying again.

I spoke to them yesterday and they said it was harsh on the clutch and also will destroy the cats, I don't think I would use them in reality, just a fun gimmick, and you still have to use the clutch so lifting off the throttle is no hardship !!

I might have them fitted, it's like a watch I have it is capable of going to a depth of 300ft underwater, I don't plan on going that deep myself but it's good to know that it can !!

TBH.... i dont really have mine in non-sport mode, just doesnt feel right at all when it is. I only switch it non-sport when im just pulling in as not to wake the kids at night!

Picked the Car up from MRC Saturday, made 449.8 & 489nm after the mods, well chuffed :biggrin3
The throttle response when the sport button is pressed is stunning. Worth every penny

Good numbers mate. What mods did you have?

[Noyjatat]

Congrats buddy. Made good figures and I know what you mean about the throttle response difference.

[chris_m]

Im looking forward to it even more now

Stage 2 Manifold, Carbon clean, CAF & Stage 2 remap, & a performance filter, I allredy have a J C Weldfab exhaust manifold back with sports cats. Really happy with the results

It's a lot of Money but very justifiable especially when you get into a que of traffic and your in sport mode, 3rd gear overtake is genuinely astonishing!! Many expletives were said by me as I went past a few cars that looked to have stood still

Am I missing something here? Doesn't the MRC stage 2 sport button map just change the throttle position mapping? in other words, foot to the floor there won't be any difference.

An MRC stage 2 remap is a whole lot more than that:

A Stage 2 Map is custom to your car and performed on the dyno. Being normally aspirated every change to your car needs verified and proven on the dyno. Includes: Full throttle in all gears. VVT modifications. Linear throttle option in non sport mode. Secondary air injection disabled for running cold air feeds, no precats, racecats or no cats. Quiet mode start mode. Includes engine health check and dyno time

Told ya so! Glad you're enjoying it! And good figures you got.

As far as I'm aware the difference between sport and non sport is the more aggressive throttle response so in theory if you floor it it will be the same but when you floor it in non sport it doesn't WOT as fast as sport mode so it does feel different albeit no real world difference. I agree that it shouldn't be any faster but it feels so much quicker. Very clever what they've done.

in 2weeks I will be feeling the difference hopefully

2 weeks on Saturday more like it.
