Stating the obvious really, I know I have a 250 so no sport mode so it's active all the time. Basically foot down on clutch, in first, foot down on accelerator, it limits the revs at about 5000rpm and then away you go.
You don't have a button down the right hand side beside the light level switch? They all have it, turns the esp/tcs off? Hahaha
I have the ESP/TCS button and the parking sensor button, never realised that was what peopled referred to as the sports button . I always thought the sport button was on 265, so 250 was standard and then the 265 was the sports button map. Who knew!
Na when you press it once it'll change your throttle response and give you some extra pops and bangs and let's you play with the back end a bit. Hold it down and it turns the esp off completely. Give it a press it's like night and day.
Press it and it'll say sport mode on the dash which makes it the car it should be tbh, and as above if you hold it down it all turns off (don't use this on the road, honest, really do NOT use it, not joking at all in any way unless your surname rhymes with Loo Maker).
How did I not know this? So will the map be programmed to a specific mode? I've just driven it as I always have i.e. not pressing the button, so is the map just in normal mode?
Did they add the Launch control in with the price mate? I'll need to get back down and get Stan to enable it on mine if so. When i spoke to him when i was getting mine done he said he wasn't a big fan of having them mapped on the sport button as 99% just drive with it on all the time, That isn't just for Meganes but all cars that can have switchable maps
Launch control was included as part of the price for a map, no additional fee for it. It wasn't until he put the map on my car that he said it was being added, said it was just newly developed . He asked if I wanted to keep it on or take it off but keeping it on makes no odds to me, I'll hardly ever use it but it will be an occasional novelty.
They mapped my RB320, I had flat foot shifting mapped in , took some getting used to that did, it was mapped by a guy called Simon from jolly green monster, passed away not long ago from a brain tumor , lovely guy
Cheers guys, I tried a few things but nothing seemed to get through the thinker foam bits. Used wd40 in the end and after a bit of a soak it all loosened up. It then got dark so gave it a good clean down and now I'm about to drill the holes :eek: God knows why they needed both the words stickiest glue and 3 screws!
If you're ever stuck like this again. Look for a rubber eraser wheel for the drill. Takes less than a minute to do the whole lot. Get them on eBay etc. That's what I use to remove the sticky pads when changing number plates and so on.
Got a service at BTM, new plugs and going back in a few weeks for a mid box chop and another set of new injectors!
You can have the ECU mapped so it knows when the clutch is depressed, it can then lower the limiter from the red line so you don't cut power and you can keep on max boost between shifts. Gets used for dragging more than anything. Kind of works like launch control.
Very rarely drove round using the flat foot style , never really go on with it, got Simon to remove it in the end
