hey guys was browsing forum found this thread, i recently took my car to aaron as a stocker only had pod filter and 3inch stainless turbo back zorst that i did myself already, for me he fitted apexi turbo timer, safc, fuel pump, piller mount and greddy boost gauge, GFB mach boost controller, FMIC, fuel filter, and dyno tuned my car run a tune into safc, done all this for $939 car come out at 286.9 rwhp at 12psi with faulty coilpacks, was very surprised at his knowldge recommend Aaron as he did a great job on my car and he is very straight foward :).

hope this helps guys,

Adam

Hmm, I thought I would give them a go, cos Lumpy isnt tuning any more, and so many people on here have had such great results

I paid nearly $1000 for intune to fit cams (that I provided) in an SR and give me a tune (power fc),

end result:

lacked power (less power after fitting cams than with stockys), rich as hell, hunted like a pig and stalled alot cold, flat spots (and not to mention he fried my battery isolation switch)

I was very sad.

took car to another dyno, figures were over 20hp down from what in tune's dyno showed, got it retuned (not at intune) I got more power, no flat spots, no hunting and stalling, no pumping soot all over my garage in the morning - and it cost me ALOT less than what I paid at intune initially

Personally I dont want to see they guy again, hear or speak to him. I feel a bit screwed after my experience there - if you know what I mean.

Just chalking it up to a very expensive lesson learnt.

who did the fix it up for you steve?

i had issue with my 1st tune, and have since took the car to all-star and been very happy with the results :huh: maybe give them a go. if ur interested i can shot u a pm

If you have an issue with any tune/work done you should go back to the guy first. I understand why your pissed but at least talk to the shop and see if they will fix it for you ($0). If that doesnt work go somewhere else THEN bag the shop.

You really should ask first

I discussed the state of the tune, I paid extra for him to try and sort it (Yes, I f**kING PAID)

But thank you for your wonderful advice

I posted up here so that others reading this thread would realise that not all things are roses and goodness - and wont end up wasting big $$$ for f**k all

But you please feel free to use them.

No worries buddy the advise is free. Ive heard some mixed result from Aaron some love him others dont. I wont be using his services any time soon.

it's always the way... you'll likely hear good and bad of everyone.

there is one particular workshop i will NEVER touch again, but then others rave about it.

i do all my own mechanical work, but as yet, dont know who id get my car tuned by...

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
