Hi Charlie,
I know you're a busy man moving un all, but Lotus Talk seems to be the easiest way to ask you questions from this side of the world...
Any day now my BWR SC will arrive. I've bought via the Group Buy, so the PES reflash is optional. Based on communication with Fred, he suggested I contact you regards my ECU reflash, due to my "Dubai Special" requirements :
• My car was built July 2005, V.I.N. SCCPC11185HL34898, ECU Federal # C121E0001F. Overall it's a completely stock MY 2005 Federal Elise.
• However my ECU was revised by Lotus Cars UK in order to keep certain settings required in Dubai. Canadian spec. KPH Speedo, ACU cut-off at Wide Open Throttle was disabled , ACU cut-off at 6,000 rpm was raised to 7,000 rpm . Can you confirm these settings will remain after the ECU re-flash?
• I will install the BWR kit approx. 5KMs from my house... should I send the ECU off 1st, then once it's back drive it this short distance to fit the SC, or vise versa, could I install the SC, then drive it the short distance home with the standard ECU - I'd then not use it till the re-flashed ECU came back???
One last question, will the re-flash still be the one you originally developed for the Katana / Greddy kit....or will you develop one espically for the BWR SC? Whilst my car is completely stock at the moment, but I may add a 2bular 7 X 24 exhaust once the SC is installed...
Thanks for your reply
Sean
