Latest update

I have been neglecting my Astra of late, in fact, other than when my Smart is in the garage (which has been more frequent than I would like, 15 days out of the past 30 days) I havent been using the Astra a lot

However, I still really like the car and wont be parting with it anytime soon

I am not really into tweaking the exterior/interior looks of a car, so my focus is on performance/handling/braking

Having tried two previous tuning boxes I thought I would try two other methods over the next month

First up I ordered this http://www.racechipgalaxy.com/ who knows if it works or not, but, with a 30 day money back guarantee at least Ill only be the return postage charges out of pocket, found them on ebay at £139.00, submitted an offer of £115.00 and it should arrive Monday, I aim to fit the following weekend to the car

Lastly I have the car booked in for a proper remap on the 30/9, it will be using a Quantum map, priced at £349

Should the OBD prove to be worthwhile, then I may reconsider the remap, but, my gut feel is that the OBD device wont be very effective, if at all, but, I am quite interested to see if it does, I do know that racechip now offer a similar device (not for my 2.0cdti 165 though) and also equip it with bluetooth, for adjusting live
