On the rollers & the guy came round to my work
Place to map the car...I’m thinking of getting a
Unicorn map that everyone raves about..
Are they called unicorn motor developments

Gains don’t look great looking at their website. Also looks expensive at 500 quid.

Significant price drop though. Used to be 900+ IIRC.
How about Evolve? Nearby to you?

Yes they are called Unicorn Motor Developments.

They quoted me £1020 last year so prices have come down. Where do they give the £500 price?

Prices for a remap have come down on the whole, thanks to obd remapping I guess. I paid £330 inc vat for mine.

Though if that’s custom and inc a rr, then it’s not bad.

Heard only good things about Unicien here and on the Facebook page.

The £500 is for a custom remap on a rolling road.

Quick thought if the cars all standard do you need to go for a custom map or would an off the shelf one work as per Celtic Tuning- about £350

So have you been refunded by DMS? What did you say to claw your hard earned back?

Let us know how you go with the new price!

Find a very flat straight and time it 50-75mph in sport mode and stick left DS.. it'll give you a rough idea then. You should be looking at around 2.4 seconds roughly if it's 380bhp+
.. sometimes these cars can be deceiving, it might not feel that much faster but the time might say otherwise

Gee, I'm disappointed in this thread. I thought I was going to read about a remap that would make by car blow rainbows out of the tailpipe.

You don't ask you don't get. Worth saying you're unhappy and see what they say if it has only been a week. I was once unhappy with some work a tuner did for me and we agreed a partial refund ie. minus his travel. Boy did he go in the defensive though!

Quote from the website...

- Domination By Stealth

- DMS’s 335d Is The Devil In Disguise

Do words like this not fill you with confidence...


James-335dx had his car remapped by Durham Remaps and got 412 bhp
