Yeah I've seen a few of the two dozen or so maps I looked at like that.. Definitely looked to be an oversight..

isn't 180 kph only like around 110 mph?, that would suck if your car couldn't go faster than that.

Same here, but our speedo is really off over 100mph... I use my GPS Nav unit to get the speed..

this thread is about paying for something that you shouldn't have to pay for and how flash vendors are claiming removing this feature.

That is advertised in a baseflash I think, which is not tuning it is adjusting.

Dude... When you "adjust" ignition timing. When you "adjust" the octane maps. I consider that tuning.

So, you're telling me that any Joe Shmoe, with no tuning experience, can open up their base maps and make these "adjustments" and do so without the potential of blowing up their engine?

I agree that changing the rev limiter and changing the stationary rev limiter is a no brainer, but doing the other things I mentioned goes way beyond "adjusting" anything.

This post was just another feeble attempt to bash one of the vendors that does base flashes.

You’re missing the whole point of this thread. I don't know any other way to break it down for your small brain to understand. So you’re telling me it's ok for someone to charge you for something that they didn't do?? damn why can the world have more people like you, we're all will be rich Also you're not making any sense bro, first you were fighting about the Top speed limit remover and now you're talking about ignition timing and stuff ?? WTF ?? But like I said before your signature explains it all. If you're such an expert why are paying someone to flash your evo and take the top speed limit out? So before calling me an idiot check yourself.
