Default Early ECU Chip swap
anyone heard of Eclipse Performance ?
they got a chip for my ECU on ebay here

I wanna change the chip in my scoob so I can run on 97 ron fuel to make things easier when I take the car over to ireland for visits, and so I can fill up anywhere in the UK without having to worry about using a booster.

the chip in my ECU sits in a carrier so its easy for me to pull it out and replace the chip, no soldering needed. Sticking with Shell, it would save me about £150 a year in fuel, even more if my fuel economy improves with the new map, so replacingthe chip will pay for itself.

just wondered if anyone had heard of this company or used their chips before I part with any cash at the end of the month

you took a look at a pic of it a while bank for me i think.
its a standard STI-RA chip. you said to be carefull with it as they tended to run a little on the lean side which is one more reason to change it !
