Good money waiting for a Mine's VX-Rom ECU! :D

Preferably mapped for a GPX with exhaust and induction mods.

Any help appreciated!

Don't send me to Mine's direct coz they want a fortune for one!! :x

I didn't think you could map a Mines VX-ROM for the FTO. :?

Even if it has a map on it you will need to get it re-mapped for your car anyway. There was one on ebay a little while ago.

These are bloody rare, but not as rare as the Buddy Club ECU for FTO. Which i still haven't seen anyone got one yet.

Anyway i also thought Mine's VX Rom are non-progamable type, but i haven't seen one, so i'm sure you pomp would know better then us, as you guys can get them easily at one stage.

The Mines VX-Rom is available for the FTO! They are rare... there was one on eBay last week which I should have won but eBay fecked up and froze on the submit bid screen! :evil: I bidded more than the price it went for with 1 minute to go but my bid didn't get through! Tried refreshing, opening new screen you name it I tried it! Sooo pissed off!! :cry: I was punching my monitor in anger! :oops:

The only other one I have seen was on eBay about 2 years ago!

They are reprogramable. As far as I know they were done on an exchange basis whereby you sent your old ECU in and got a Mine's one back which makes me think they might be using the original ECU PCB with a piggyback PCB perhaps or replacing some components.

I need one so I can see the insides and decide if it is possibe to replicate. :wink:

I work for an electronics company and have a friend who is very knowledgable on ECU's so between us we could possibly produce something for the FTO at a reasonable price!!
