Both these are in Baysie aswell :rofl:

Techsport for all the suspension setup stuff, i dont belive they do tuning.

And Melbourne Performance Centre as a tuner. matlowth here on the forums is going through a bit of this at the moment with regards to the stock ECU/tuning and all its features.

Drop him a PM as he knows a heck of a lot already as he's been/going through it all now, even tuning his ECU a bit himself i think :)

Definately Techsport. As Ash says, they don't do tuning themselves but send it to MPC which is very close.

I have everything done by Techsport including panel work as Jeff has a good network of contacts out there plus I don't have time to shop for quotes.

They are the first workshop I have seen who do what you ask, show you what they have done (e.g parts replaced and why) and will gladly talk to you about your car, the potential and options until the cows come home. Also very fairly priced too. A big help for me is they are open Saturday mornings as I don't live anywhere near by so getting out there of an evening is quite hard.

Number is: 03 9720 9300

G'day,

As Ash mentioned, I'm currently going down this path now as far as tuning goes.

As far as mechanical/suspension work, I'm getting all that done at Techsport as I've never heard anything but praise for their quality of work. They're very reasonably priced too.

The ECU side of it is a bit more tricky. If you're happy to pay $$$ to get an Autronic or MoTeC, then you'll find that MPC will do a good job.

There are a few products (such as ECUFlash) which have the ability to reflash the factory ECU, unfortunately, there are no shops here in Melbourne (other than AVO) that I've come across which have played with it. Give it time though, as it's very quickly gaining popularity in the EVO community. I've been speaking with MPC about ECUFlash, but as of yet, haven't been down there to show them the software and what it's capable of.

When you're ready to get your car tuned, drop me a PM, and I'll let you know where I'm at re: places to get tuned.

Cheers,

matt

How good is he with new ones tho? Remembering these are new cars, not ones from 10 years ago built to go in a straight line :)

Probably hasnt even looked @ the stuff for the IV yet as Matt said, there really isnt anyone who has

i thought we had no choice but to go to ralliart to get work done without voiding the warranty?

anyone had any experiences with ralliart in melb, costs would be higher then normal im guessing.

growin #'s someone should start up an australian evo forum

:sorcerer: I know a few things you dont i think heeheh.

1) If you wanted warranty, you'd just buy the Ralliart EVO to begin with, carries i think 20k higher pricetag so your paying through the nose.

So its your own call there.

2) There already is EVO forums: http://www.evolutionoz.net/

Cheers! :)

I already said that!

And LOL at letting Dr Drift touch a 60k car.

I know the factory ecu's can be tuned :D

Dr Drift has some info on this but does not have a 4wd dyno.

maybe one of these EVO workshops might be interested in a tuning package?

I was suggesting maybe one of thse godly workshops should get some tips and possibly the equipment to retune the factory ecu so they can be called EVO' gods. The factory ecu is more than capabile for all your needs and is relativly easy to tune.

I agree someone needs to get their hands on the equipment and start providing tuning for an evo that is not running a motec.

tell benno to get a 4wd dyno and I can hook him up with the gear to tune these cheater cars

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
