Genghiskt 2nd Gear July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 Just curious, would the remap affect engine wear and tear components? Ie piston , crankshaft, flywheel Also considering that this is the conventional 6speed torque converter, 250nm is quite powerful already, how much more load can it withstand? Pal, wear & tear not just associate with power increase. Heat, maintenance and usage contribute to it. This power increase is not done at local workshop. I acquire the data locally and is tune up by German engineer. All aspects are taken into consideration. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndfunction Clutched July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 (edited) Heard the 10" blitz audio underseat sub not bad. Not too heavy on the load as wellTruth be told I know nuts about speakers. But I'll be interested to learn though. So for our astra, speakers wise what's the size ? And any kind soul can enlighten me diff between amp and subwoofer ?

SGCMVassago 1st Gear July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 Amp is to power your speakers and woofer. Woofer is the box that provide bass. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookies 1st Gear July 13, 2016 Share July 13, 2016 Ah I see. Thanks thanks, so basically if I get a subwoofer and speakers w/o amp is fine just that won't get that extra pump ? actually i am curious to know if our front speakers are component speakers. If not, that's probably the set that i will swap out first. may be the best bang for buck improvement for our stock setup.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a minor correction. Actually Android Auto is available in the headunit. It's actually in the settings which you can turn on or off. It's our phones which do not support Android Auto. It's not available in our Google Play yet. I've tried sideloading the APK, but it just doesn't install. Urgh Spare parts also another big issue, hopefully lower the price and availability a lil even if its conti parts. I unds that our batch (view car at showroom) is 2nd batch of customers, 1st batch alr get car (never see actual car/test drive) On road totally never see 1 at all sia ... If all goes well, i should be collecting mine next week. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
