You'll get the same benefits with a Racechip at a lower cost. Pete's being a direct importer will have to pay all the duties, taxes, branding cost, dealer margins and crucially customer support.
The choice is yours. It is fun to have a Red Hot Figo |
Superbly stunning looks. I am sure it rides well too. Please can you tell me if your Figo feels like a rocket or more driveable ?
Also, I can agree with the excise duty and other costs but this thing costs 5times the race chip. little too much for me. Just my thought. Please do not feel offended.
If you travel to Kochi do PM me. Would love to check out your ride.
Matter of fact even I own a Red figo. I think red is sporty and symbolises young blood. I always liked Red/black on cars. Quote:

I tried the same exercise in a stock figo and found that there is rumbling and felt like the anti stall in work.
Also I had to be a little careful with the clutch cos as you said it was below the turbo zone.
With race chip I felt more like I was doing 40kmph in 4th gear and the car accelerates from there to 80mkph without a gear change.
That is nice in traffic where you would be crawling behind something and when it ultimately gives you space to drive you will be presented with an open stretch. i am sure you would have experienced that on our roads
Also I checked out the smoke on my since I got the stock figo of my friends with me. Smoke are of the similar levels. There is no black smoke as of now. Later who knows. 1.3MJD of my Linea makes more smoke than the Racechip RC Figo and the stock figo under hard acceleration. Quote:
