just wondering if we can start a register of good/bad car washes in brissy. i recently went to a certain one on the north side and it was just crap it missed large parts of the bonnet and side skit.

i wont mention any names i just wanted to run the idea parts the mod's/admin's incase they are worried about defemation and all that jizz. i love having a shinny car but i don't have the $$$ or time to drive around trying to find a good installation.

what do you guys think?

best way take it to car lovers in 8 mile plains grab a wash mit never use the brushes unless you want to eat your clear coat spend $8.00 and your done best 12 mins you can use in a day i say plus thats a popular joint

i used the automated one at Aspley (opp KFC). i was in a hurry to get to the JBT concert so i didn't check the job just gave it a quick dry. it was cheap, $8 which is their so called "ultra" deal.

my advice, don't use it.

is it worth updating the first post maybe doing a quick ref table?

Having worked for carlovers for a number of years it depends on the system they having operating in their automatic washes. I've seen several system at the site I worked at over time and can say some were fantastic some shit house. Alot of it is trial and error. I have never had any problems with brushless systems eating clearcoat thats a bit strange. Sites maintain and monitor their systems helps to improve the quality of the wash.

My tip is if you are using the automatic system wash your wheels first because all of them suck balls at washing wheels lol

Have u?

Come one Noel, dont hold out???

Have u?

My responce, no i have not.

I like to use my hose in the driveway with my tank water. However it seems to piss off the neighbours without tanks.

No I havnt but i have this uncontrollable urge to see boobs squashed up against the drivers side window. :)

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
