nah its the one who had the yellow supra with the F&F decals on the side and ran up on the dyno and when the MC asked her about the car, she didnt know anything about her car and just kept saying really dumb stuff

however that other one does sound hilarious though, feel free to post that one up as well

Damn I hope this is true because it sounds like funny shit.

Some of those Autosalon MC's piss me off. I remember one Autosalon I was present at, they were dynoing all the S2000s in a row. One guy got 160kw at the treads and the idiot MC said "160kw!!! MOST V8's DON'T GET THAT!". He wasn't being sarcastic either. Hahaha, half the people who get their cars dynoed at Autosalon have no idea what has been done to the car.

probably doesn't help that a lot of workshops offer "Stage 1/2/3" upgrade kits with guaranteed "X-Y"rwkw. Good for them, as they've obviously done it enough that they know what works and what doesn't, and the consumer saves because there's no R&D required.

And also i guess a lot of people walk into a garage and just say 'i want 250rwkw', not "I want a GT-SS, 660cc injectors, motec system exhaust and a dual NOS fogger system"

I think that's fair enough...

...because I don't believe you should have to know alot about cars to be able to enjoy them, or modify your vehicle. But putting it on the dyno...if you don't know what is producing that graph then I think you'll be short of understanding what it means...and how you can use it to your benefit other than bragging to people who do know what it means :D

Speaking of "stage 1", "stage 2" etc, it's hilarious when people say they've got a stage so and so car, as if it means anything outside of the workshop where the work was completed!

haha yeah it was a pretty funny video, just a rice heap owned by some chick who has obviously gone "i want to make power, here is my credit card, drop my car off at autosalon for me". then when the MC asked her some questions she just kept stuttering and saying "ohh um i have to thank the boys, i have to thank the boys".

i agree that modifying shouldn't be exclusive to people who know about their cars, but i still think that if you are going to flaunt it in public you should at least know a little about your car, or carry a sheet around in your pocket with the specs on it to read out hahahaha

PS RIP autosalon

Think about it. Not many 5L V8's make anything over 180kw standard, so his statement is somewhat correct.

Hell, I wish my V8 made 160rwkw :)

Really???? Most holden and fords after 1992 that were V8's made over 185kw. My 90' VN SS made 177 stock even though it was spose to only be 167 i think out of the factory.

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
