Could you have worded this ^^^ better?

You might have to ask for PMs - otherwise, recommendations are going to pronounce that 'A' is better than 'B'.

If you're in a hurry, the 'Search' button will reveal all...

HMM that says it all, Other then taking forever to do a job and being almost impossible to contact, Does he tune good! in anyones experience, I dont know if its just coensidence but everytime i go to him and i get something adjusted something else annoys me for example warm starts now hesitate to reach normal idle 3-5secs, lots of black smoke on boost = very rich, low kms from a whole tank = very rich also. Done my gearbox os giken 5 speed set with him he says the gearbox guy changed 4 synchros now i dont know if they are brand new synchros or what he says he wants to have a feel of it next time i go, But anyways SOMETIMES my gears feel somewhat notchy other times its normal isnt it supposed to feel like a brand new car 24/7 ? Im getting sick of taking my car back and forth!!

your better of tuning a r32 in rwd as the 4wd is not consistant and plays up in the lower throttle tuning, insight have 4wd dyno and are at arndell park ( near eastern creek )

Really hmm never heard that... How are insight? any bad news from them hows the staff etc

scott and the guys are good they are doing a lot of race cars now one of which is tiltons time attack evo,after he retuned my car after someone else ( a big name tuning shop who charged me a puck load to have my car on the dyno for less than 1 hour for a new computer ) it drives like a factory car and gets about 550km a tank gd, trick is cam gears and 6500 rpm shifting and no big burn out to over heat turbos.

Have a look at the semi slicks he was running at WSID lolz!....seriously he had semis on!! Thats part of the trick!

was i i thought it was on bridgestone re001 adrenalins, but it might have been advan 048 it was 3 years ago and either way they where 265/35/18s and where what i was using as everday street tyres and not a purpose built drag tyre like m/t e/ts or toyo tqs

That's what I'm getting at, the fact you ran a bloody good time since they weren't mickey T's etc!! :thumbsup:

thats exactly what my car did after hills. If I am driving at say 4,000 rpm and then push the clutch in and watch the rev drop all the way to zero and then stall. It was a pfc tune too. Sometimes it wouldn't stall, it would barely catch it before zero and then cough up a big ball of black smoke. One thing was ok was on throttle the car ran very well. Nice smooth boost and good torque. I got 260awkw at 12psi boost. Not sure what it would make on 20psi, maybe 280?

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
