Would it be difficult to have the 8's ECU's re-mapped? Key question...have to find out from the factory....!!!! The question is...who to ask!!  If you discover it... Shout it out loud please! Well, the factory has responded....if I want the new gearbox and engine map i need to buy a new Aero 8 or Plus 8. Bu**er!

Shooter - any chance of any pics of your S5? Love to see how the colours worked out. Sounds as though you are using and enjoying it!

I to am quite interested in seeing the video, I wasn't keen on the Creme one I drove but it was a Pre-Production example to be fair, and apparently the production ready cars have over 150 changes since.
Perhaps I need to test drive a different one!
Funnily enough I saw the car I test at Morgan Blenheim day, which I thought was odd as it was a pre-prod. Unless of course Mr. Morris was driving it?
When does yours arrive Shooter?

I have over 700 miles in the S5 now. A bit low by my normal mileage standards but not too much of a brief squirt :-)
Sorry, Shooter! I assumed - wrongly - that you were getting in some miles in your new S5. Looking forward to seeing it when you get it.

Would the re-map not work on the 4.8 +8's that we have?
