That's why I'm worried about remapping my car! I hate a sooty rear!

Snap!

Soots you sir :rofl:

Are you sure it was not a coal conversion Ben was doing? :giggle:

Sucks to be yellow!! (sorry guys!!)

Yellow stains really bad, I bet under that its stained the paint work

Mine comes up fairly clean, but it does need a damn good detailing, just to get rid of some of the small scuffs in the painwork which have bits of ingrained dirt in them :(

It could of been worse, someone could of put MUFC on the back. Consider yourself lucky.

You needn't have to have a black rear, just get a clean map and keep the car clean. I know mines black, but I can tell when it gets sooty as it looks matt. I can easily go a couple of hours drive and the back is still pretty shiny.

Clean map will be a Shark one - hopefully next week actually :)

I'm really shocked that I don't get any soot on the rear of my car at all with standard map :)

You'll be fine then! I'm running a hybrid on a unit 18 map and as I said its not too bad tbh

This is hybrid jobbie. Tbh I think it cud do with a refresh. Mine wasn't getting done, another member on here has had some goodies added. Does need a good detail and u can see where the dirts got into paint. Its strange in the soot there's small dots. Keep thinking its oil as it now looks like a wet painting post-48360-13447899253578_thumb.jpg

i've had mine's ramapped by Shark and the back end stays cleaner than my girlfriends standard Ibiza FR which is constantly black (red car)

Sweet thanks for the advice guys :) I see a couple of other VRS around and their rears are really sooty.....I'm putting it down to crap maps. Mind you he did say it was only £150.....

That's nothing!!

I had a mate with a yellow Ibiza Cupra that had a dodgey remap + resistor chip.

You couldn't even tell the car was yellow if you looked from the back :giggle:

Get yourself down to Shark either on August 27th or September 9th for one of their open days, I'm sure you could cut a deal and get a much better map for your £150 than your mate did...

Yeah was think I might pop up. Said they'd get it onto the rollers and check it out. And poss do another map on

It has a richard washbrook custom map on it!

I know yours does, I was replying to someone else :) The only big name maps I know of for £150 are Awesome's, which I wouldn't use personally...

I'm not going to :) getting a shark map on Thursday :)

I drove to the Nurburgring in Germany did 6 laps and a load of other miles totalling nearly 1300 by the end of the week and mine was hardly dirty more dust than exhaust soot, mine is standard turbo but remapped with a mufflerectomy..

That would do my head in all that soot!

I'll stick with my exhausts that blast all the soot onto the tarmac! lol

To be honest though thats running clean!

You should have seen it on its first map! It got that colour in a couple of hours :o

noticed that after i cleaned exhaust thoroughly that it has less soot on the rear. not that i don't normally clean the exhaust, just gave it a dam good clean and seems better.
