Miller350z Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Is there any way to see if my car has had an Uprev?? I bought the car second hand, its a 2004, it has a scorpion exhaust, either a 2006 air box or had velocity stack mod and has a k&n drop in filter. After reading a few things on the uprev i thought i might save a bit of cash and get it done. if its recorded by reg plate this would also be a problem as it has jad a private plate in the past. Any ideas?? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 if you have it, there will be a licence for it on the ECU, so an Uprev dealer will be able to tell you (probably free of charge?) by plugging in a cable to check. I can only name 3 dealers, none of which are very close to Grimsby. but, from a visual / indicator from your driveway, i dont beleive there is a way to tell.

Paddy78 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 that's far to intelligent for me Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk It displays your location on the full website (If you've entered one - which you have) I don't know which 3 dealers Pritchard is thinking about, but I would suspect RS Tuning in Leeds will be your closest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 right, that'll be how. think im a little computer illiterate, i use tapatalk most if the time. i think you're right about leeds, guess is have to go there when im nearby Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 They'll most likely have a record, so you could try phoning with your plate and asking. Saves the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pritchard Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 ah i didnt know of RS. it wasnt one of the ones i was thinking about yea they will probably have a reocrd... but thats assuming if an uprev was done that it was them that did it. better off popping in probably (phone ahead) and get cabled up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouthwash Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) The 155mph limiter is removed, you could always try going faster? That will tell you. Edited September 15, 2015 by mouthwash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas?? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Easiest way is to absolutely blast it down a quiet, straight motorway runway as Uprev removes the 155mph speed limiter.

mouthwash Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 However, if possible.. I recommend doing this in a built up area to see if the UpRev has improved your handling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller350z Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 guess the only way to tell is to plug it in then? i thought about calling all the dealers who do uprev to find out but if an uprev was done whilst it was on the private reg plate i guess I'll never know as i have no idea what plate it was on. would be fun trying the flat out way Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
