hey guys...my mate has an evo7...he did some mods at home and they are -

Fuel pump

PFC

high flow turbo

Injectors (he will buy and get the tuner to put it in)

high flow exhaust

After all these mods he will want the car tuned properly...i told him about Techsport the evo guy but he said when he called him, they dont tune cars. They send them away to a tuner. That tuner qouted him $1000. He wasnt happy about the price so he was thinking of taking it to RE for $500 with that fitted injectors in the price too. But both of us havn't really heard much good stuff about RE so really would appreciate any other recomendations of where he is better off to give his car for tuning...THANKS!!

Give Rob at CREATD MOTORSPORTS a call, he has the quickest 1.8 litre lancer in Australia, it ran 10.18. He tunes Evo's WRX's GTR's all day long. He knows what he is talking about and he's a great tuner. He has around half a dozen Evo's down there at the moment.

There number is 9357 7663

Call RE Customs and see if Matt Lowth (close mate of mine) is still tuning via them - If he is, he is the guy you want :ermm: Otherwise RE also do tune as well i believe.

Uses the factory ECU and so on so nice and affordable, no drivebility problems.

His own car was making 280awkw before he sold it, one of the fastest street cars i have ever been in :P

just spoke to my mate after he had a word with Rob...he really liked the way Rob spoke and his rates...he is highly thinking of going to that place now..but if there are other good evo tuners please let us know so he can choose his machanic/tuner wisely...THANKS A LOT FOR YOU HELP JOSH!!!

Are they aftermarket or factory ECU tuning?

The factory ECU is 100% tuneable in basically every area. Better than Nistune :P

NAH with a PFC....like mention in the mods he done to the car....the did it all at home so he hasnt seen a machanic yet to work on the car...like me he plans to stick to one guy and before going to anyone, i wanted to get some reconmendations...

The guy at RE must be a great tuner but no offence to him, i personally havnt heard much great things about that place...it might be the other people other than his job causing that...not sure...or we might just know people who had bad experience with them...

All we know is that evo is only going there as the last resort...so please dont feel offended...especially his your mate...sorry :P

Ask Nick his the evo fan boi now

ya i know his got an evo so i am hoping he comments here...but spoke to a lot of evo guys and all say techsport...but they send cars off to get tune unfortunately...and that guy is asking for big money...well if it was me i will be ready to pay that since they are the best but he wasnt happy spending all that with them...you know him...the guy with the black evo...came to nandos with us where we first met....

The guy i mentioned does not work for RE.

He only tunes on their dyno, one of my best mates :P

Personally I'd go with the stock ECU, cheaper cause its free. The EVO factory ECU's are phenominal. You can even setup anti lag.

HAHAHA!!! too late...my mate already bought all the stuff...he got the Apexi PFC...for dirt price....so he might as well get it tuned with it on...

to talk to your best mate, do we call RE and ask for him and ask him if he can tune the car? But doesnt Ray tune the cars there? :P

haha yea i know the guy that evo is sexy:D

It is going to be an animal very soon...just waiting on his new CAT...will take about 4 weeks to come for some reason...than just tune and the car is going to be blowing mine away...lol...

Sell it for a profit then :woot:

Call RE and discuss with them direct, im not sure what the arrangement is at the moment and im not about to give my mates details out etc cause of that.

RE do tune as well. Give em a ring either way if you are interested in it. If not then don't haha :P

^^ I was going to say Techsport, but I saw on an EVO forum saying they are not that good... Kinda mix responses really.

You'd be safe at RE Customs.

they missed that it was in a crash, and it had a bent control arm...............

saying that, my mate loves RE.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
