THEN I will be fully convinced!!! :D:D

haha but nah man seriously, it's awesome and brave of you to step up to the plate and be the first risk taker...i think someone named you the "guinea pig" before :D

congratulations lee, buddy!

(P.S. -- I'm still comin to visit so u can show me your brand spankin new toy) :laugh:

I got one sitting in garage... paid $1100 for piece of mind that it was a cash transasction right there and then :laugh:

I really do hope this works out for obvious reasons though :D

(P.S. -- I'm still comin to visit so u can show me your brand spankin new toy) :sick:

Hehe sounds good Justin lol :) You just want ride in my car :laugh:

I will have the power Fc in this weekend, when im doing my turbo and fuel pump,so ill be playing with it then. :banana:

Yes i was called the guinea pig by beerbaron lol

Rissole:Yes from direct tunning ,It took about 15 days after i ordered to recive it

and i was keep in constant email contact from them, There was never

any problems with not return emails or stuffing around. I would buy from them, If your not sure

just get them to check the part number for availability, i did that 3 time to make certain lol :D

:D

Cheers bro. :)

well done. looks like it's time for me to eat my hat!

the good thing is this now means I can buy some from japan again, and they will be cheaper than $1000 too hopefully. they must have found another way to get them back into production. :D

It was way too easy to be skeptical of the whole thing...even I was quick to say "YES I'LL BUY ONE" without actually thinking about it first...you had every right to doubt...i came to my senses after reading your posts about the issue...

but never mind...we should all now be able to buy safely from named website

thanks goes out to

sickr33 for his groupbuy efforts

gtstcoupe for being the guineapig

and pattygtst for finding it in the first place even if no one took notice the first time :D

sorry if i missed anyone!

But now i have powerFc Wooo :D

Very Happy,Happy,Happy :)

Thanks everyone ;),

Ok justing that sounds cool :) hehe

These things have been available for sometime now. All you needed was to find a workshop who was buying them in bulk or organising a group of people to place enough orders for Apexi to be willing to fulfil the order.

Paulr33 was right on the money that there was a workshop already doing this in aus, which was turbonetics. I opted to buy mine from here as these guys offered me a full Australian warranty which is a lot more handy if it decides to fail.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
