Getting my car remapped on Wednesday, I have a pedal box V3 fitted, should I remove this before the remap takes place?

Thanks

Hi everyone,  

I'm picking up my astra elite on Tuesday morning, will be a welcome change for us,  Been a vectra driver for the last 4 years and although it has been rock solid its time for a change before it starts to costs money,  The vectra is a 1.8vvti and as it has been totally reliable I went for the 1.6 vvt astra, although i know its not that good on fuel economy round town and its not that pokey i think its a better option for us than a diesel as we do a lot of short trips in town.

So I'm thinking of getting rid of my 2012 2.0 Cdti Sri vx line and going for an auto version of the same car mainly due the daily grid of stop start traffic on the highway.

I looking at the Elite version over the Sri version mainly due to spec.

Things I like about the elite version are:-
Leather seats
Heated seats
Climate control (had this in my Civic, miss it alot.

Things I will miss are:-
Vx line 19 alloys
Sportier ride compared to elite.
Vx line kit.

I've never driven an elite but I

As above I have just got an ice white astra which i upgraded from a 1.4 08 astra and I'm in love however I'm just wondering am I stuck in terms of upgrading the speed of this car due to it being a 63 plate and being s/s? I mean I'm in no hurry due to only just getting the car im just wondering what my options will be when the time comes. Am I stuck to just a pedal box or are there any alternatives?

Hello everyone,

Starting this thread in advance of making any changes to the car to show what it's like as it stands before I do anything to it.

Hi guys

Not long had my Astra j elite 2.0 ecoflex as I had a 1.6tdci fiesta before.

What mpg are people getting?

I'm currently driving like a granny. Have never driven so sensible in my life yet only getting 34mpg on a 20mile to work and 20 mile back from work journey. Mostly all long straight roads not stop start.

A full tank says I'll get 450 but have already done a quarter tank and only done 80 or so.

Hey, 

I'm new here and been modifying cars for years.

Just picked up a lovely 13 plate Elite, loving the car having had a broken Vectra C for the last month or so. I have always said since i installed xenon headlights in a Volvo years ago i would never go back to halogen headlights and boy with the AFL's that has just made that decision concrete for the future..

I was looking at a 09 plate GTD before this one popped up, with this spec and the cost i honestly couldn't say no.

Here's my car, a 2014 Astra Elite Tourer 2.0CDTI. I only got her in October last year and to date she has covered just over 18K.

Since joining this site I've carried out a few small mods...

Just purchased today. Had to laugh the Salesman who i purchased from said the Astra doesnt have service booklets. Just said okay.
Why do they feel the need to lie?

Anyways, i know where it was serviced etc.... going to ring the dealers up and ask if they will give me a new book stamped up. Will have to pay but worth it.

I am replacing my old Astra G with an Astra J Mk 6 , I am selecting from the local VX dealer, currently I am looking at reg DG15 JWO, which is an Elite spec.


I replaced the ICE system in the old Astra G with a single Din Kenwood KDC 3054U Radio/CD player with a USB socket.
It is the USB facility which I use the most for playing my music from a memory stick, but I understand from the sales dept that the Astra J does not have a USB socket incorporated in the entertainment centre.

If sales
