he charges bcoz he's a qualified engineer, not just a mechanic. so that is why he demands a higher amount for his work, but atleast u know itll be done properly.

yes you would think that wouldnt you! Even an egg can install injectors without breaking the Orings, making it stream fuel out and all over your engine. a little vassoline doesnt go astray when fitting them! Tuning, well I wont get started there.

Maybe my car was the only one where I had to redo all his work and get it tuned again by someone else, but I doubt it!

engineer doesnt mean he's a mechanic though does it.

but i know he does do mechanical work aswell, where installing stuff on cars, and rebuilding motors etc. oh well, not every1 has a 100% reputationdo they.

Any one from the sunny coast coming to the dyno day at godzilla motorsport?

I am going to run the R and see what she puts out!

Bored... Anyone see SIC17 (scottys) red ute? What a mess, the poor bugger, saw it sitting in claytons towing yard at kunda, written off..

Also saw gabs evo9 sitting in there, must be a bad week with all the rain ect..

Anyone see the nutts cash last night involving the red ss ute at the plaza around 1:30 last night outside the national bank? I was driving past about 15 seconds after it happened. The driver and passenger did the bolt. Apparantly the guy had just bought the ute that week, cost him 44k and now its a mangled piece of shite. He managed to bounce off one power pole and make it accross the intersection with enough force to totaly flatten a traffic light, which was sparking on the ground. I had a nice ls1 engine cover that i nealy ran over as there was debris everywhere, but some emo kid stole it from the bushes where i had it, damn emo kids. The funny thing is we called the tow truck to get a spotters fee and they where there in about 60 seconds, yet the police station was 30 meters away from the crash and it took them over 10 mins to get there, useless.

Anyone go to QR on sunday to watch the drift? What a mad day! Spent 8 hours there, got sunburnt, ate 4 dagwood dogs, laughed at people lapping around the ouside of the track, met some drift drivers, was an excellent day.. well worth the trip down.

Yeah the lapping was hectik.. Specially the Dad in his excel with subs pounding and the 3 kids in the back :D

Soo many hot Ceffys everywhere..

Good laugh was when me and a mate where walking the pits and Robbie Bolger randomly trundles past us on his bike with blown rear tyre after one of his sets..

Awesome day.. Was great roaming the pits checking out the DA cars up close.. Cut when Buea Yates got knocked out early though.

I have only heard good things about Chapman’s. I was planning on taking my car then to finalise and get some power figures.

If your mate has the tools required and the knowledge I would road tune. That is what I am doing. Wideband o2, knock sensor datalogging, knock sensor mini microphone and datalogging on microtech. Will tune for 98oct, 98oct plus Martini super boost, 100oct and 100oct plus Martini super boost. Then when I am happy with it. Take it to the dyno and switch fuels and maps to see the difference and fine tune further :)

George May is the wolf distributor around here. He did a bit of a road tune on my car but basically said that it was too fast to do on the road (but wolf doesn’t have map tracer or datalogging). Then took it to Ron Hill’s and used their dyno and he tuned it. I wouldn’t go to Ron Hill’s as I didn’t think the dyno operator was very experienced.

Hope that helps :)

Thought I'd drag this one up again.. Now I've decided to stick with the Wolf. Apparently Chapmans have done a bit of work with Wolfs. What are their prices like. I think I'll give em a ring. Interested in any info on past experiences people have had.

It's either them or fork out $800 odd plus transport to get Matty at PITS to tune it.. :

I'd spend the extra money and get the work done by a tuner who is one of the best in qld, matt spry. I've been in a few cars done by him now comared to other workshops and i'd have to say his tunes are the best.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
