Monsoon drive in my Maruti Jimny with a Wolf Moto stage 1+ remap

Earlier it used to feel comfortable until 90 kmph and strained beyond it.

Congratulations to all the new owners! Good to see the increasing numbers within our small community of car ‘enthusiasts’.

My Jimny completed a year last month. Given my limited running and sharing the garage with Linea Tjet, it just did about 7,000 km during this period. 5,500 of these 7,000 would have been in the Himalayas. So, no complaints.

Took the car to Hatu Peak (Narkanda) earlier this month. It did exceptionally well in wet and slippery conditions. Climbing up the Hatu Peak was easy in 2WD. Kept mostly in ‘2’ and at times in ‘L’.The narrow track is a boon on such narrow roads. Just wish the turning radius wasn’t so huge. The misty environment and lack of crowd made it an enjoyable drive. What made the drive to Narkanda even better was that I got stage 1+ remap done by Wolf Moto just a week before the trip.

I had heard good things about the Wolf guys, and they had already worked on quite a few Jimnys, so I decided to go ahead with them. I had my expectations in check in terms of tangible gains, primarily hoping to improve drivability by reducing initial lag and improving in-gear acceleration. My recent drive to Narkanda felt much more relaxed compared to the last one. I haven’t measured but the in-gear acceleration times must have improved. Earlier it used to feel comfortable until 90 kmph and strained beyond it. Now, that point has been pushed by 10-15 kmph. The fuel efficiency may have dropped a bit but I don’t care about it much given my low running. Overall, I am happy with the investment in remap.
