Drop car off somewhere for some simple stuff done, wait a week, call to see how its going, get epically disinterested response. Gotta love Melbourne mechanics.

When did they say it was done?

Which workshop?

Say youlll take it else where

ive got into the habit of waiting 1.5-2 weeks before dropping by to check it out. much more awkward when you're there in person. But i havent been to any/many workshops who start work within a few days. I think they just take the car when there is room/when it suits customer, not so much when theyre available to start work.

its best not to be a difficult customer i think... if theyre tied up with another job being a PITA, thats just what happens.

Yeah, I won't be a troublesome customer, I typically am not and pretty chill given experiences in the past. (all nightmarish)

Just annoying if you call a month in advance, deliberately holding off until someone will be available to work on it ;)

Still having issues with your car Greg?

Or it's just a 'maintenance'?

You're doing it all wrong... Backyard mechanics are the go. Bring it down here. :P

It's niggly things that require welding, (sender units for gauges), and wiring etc. Map sensor, Wideband controllers, maybe some dyno time to see the differences in a manifold and gate (assuming these help, typically they should), crap like changing a wheel hub/bearing etc, cam timing, cam gears, valve adjustments.

Simple stuff, just annoying/time consuming, basic but stuff you want to know is done right, because I can't be confident it was right in the past.

I had actually planned to do this initially, at least the welding parts!

But I was told "they can do everything" by the shop, so I said here's a big well detailed list with info, let me know.

If all else fails I will actually park it outside Scotty's and just ask him to let it get stolen.

I'd like to introduce you guys to my future wife, we met on the internet:

:woot::wub:

Booked marked to watch on my lunch break

Haven't heard of her before, but I can see why guys do judging from the preview :P

That's quite a list...

5 warrants for that scumbag's arrest, threats of violence towards his family and an AVO from his wife.... yes the poice couldn't manage to go pick him up.

drive past a cop with a modified car and they are more than happy to come and visit

pathetic

    • 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?
