Rumblings across the forum have now been confirmed and with a possible 35+ interested parties it looks like we are going to open another Shark Performance Group Buy! This group buy will be slightly different to the others as we'll be offering a free STS OR a cash discount on the map instead! This will benefit those who can't use or don't want the STS Here are the details: We require a minimum of 30 confirmed participant to activate the discount Payments will need to be made by telephone at the time of booking or ordering STS units may take up to 4 weeks after the close of the group buy to arrive and be sent out to participants Briskoda "Freedom" discounts can still be used with this group buy, saving you even more! The discounts we are prepared to offer are as follows: A FREE STS unit OR £100 off the price of your map The idea of this group buy is that it can benefit everyone, including those with encrypted/protected ECUs.

Prices for the maps can be found above, if people are interested in the price without an STS then we would need to confirm interest first and then publish a fixed price depending on interest

Could be a regeneration cycle (edit - so yes it could be the map). Does it also stink like paraffin, or at least that's what I think it smells like?

STS can only read and erase fault codes on the engine ECU

Prices for individual cars are available on the website at www.sharkperformance.co.uk but here are some popular ones: Octavia 1.9TDI - £299 Fabia VRS 1.9TDI - £299 Octavia 1.8T (inc VRS) - £349 Octavia 2.0TDI (inc PD VRS) - £349 Octavia VRS 2.0TFSI - £449 Octavia VRS 2.0TSI - £499 Octavia VRS 2.0TDI CR170 - £499 Fabia II VRS 1.4TSI - £499 All prices there include VAT and there is a 10% discount available to Briskoda Freedom members

Yes it would be for your vintage of ASV, some of the older ones couldn't be remapped but yours can

Without seeing the terms and conditions it wouldn't be possible for me to confirm whether we offer the same thing or not, however we are happy to guarantee our workmanship on the map and ECU (the bit we actually modify) for 12 months yes. It isn't possible for us to warrant the rest of the car and to be honest, I don't think it's possible for others to either as there's so many eventualities.

Could you please clarify what you mean?

Absolutely, no problem at all.

Yes we always redo maps for people who have had dealer updates, but to be honest they are few and far between. If that is the only reason for you to wait for the STS, it might be worth travelling to us

Nowhere near as many problematic CR engined cars than PD, so generally you're OK to leave it (so long as the map is carefully tuned and not smoky).

If we hit the target of 30 people, then yes I don't see a problem in doing that

I understand and that is of course where the STS really wins. Perhaps if we were to offer the same level of discount as taking a free STS would help that situation for people - it would certainly pay your fuel bill

We haven't done in the past, but I don't see the harm in it If we were to offer a discount equivalent to the STS would that be helpful to those who don't need/want the STS?

So if we were to change the group buy slightly and offer a discount to the same amount as the STS for those who don't want/need one, would that help?

I'm mainly referring to the CR owners who have mentioned the STS as an absolute must-have, so I was referring to the CR ECU rather than the 2.0TSI.

There's no way to remap that ECU over the diagnostic port and so the STS capability is still a long way away gents, sorry. Could I ask why the STS is such a crucial item for those who won't have the map without it?

Nice to see there's interest in another group buy! What we've done in the past is: 15 people - 50% discount on the STS unit 30 people - 100% discount on the STS unit Forum discounts are still applicable also - i.e. if you are a Freedom member you can still claim your 10% discount on the price of the map! With enough people on board, this can turn into a real saving.

Stay tuned... we are setting on new dealers all the time and an outlet may spring up a little closer sometime soon... Also don't forget that we also do the Self Tuning System which saves you travelling anywhere at all!

Group buys are always possible!

Have you tried both?

Pick a window but even then the car will be deadlocked. Good luck

You've got a bit of an exhaust leak there mate.

I agree with that too. Undertaking is only undertaking if you are looking to gain from it. If you are in lane 1 and maintaining your speed, and you approach an idiot in lane 2 who shouldn't be, then there's no need to change your course so long as it's safe to continue.

Hi Ollie The 18th is better for me if possible, if you can make it in the morning around 10-10:30, whatever suits. See you then.
