I am with Wesfarmers and they run rings around all the other mobs I have been with. I have never had a claim from an accident but I had a truck spray my car with stones in a 60 zone where they had just layed the stones. I was doin my 60 and he was doin 80 or more. I had the roof, bonnet, front guards, and bumper sprayed and they payed it no ifs no buts, cost just under a grand. Big thumbs up. To have my car insured commercially costs me $1000 if I had to insure privately was $850.

Won't be long now mate... He did one on the wkend, just gotta fine tune it, and your sorted........ quite impressive too.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Next time I send it over I will get a tune to suit injectors, CAI and a few other goodies...Does evil laugh..

This is what I have gone through. I had my tunes done by Simon from Xtreme over in WA and after getting the edit back putting it in my car went out on a "private" road smoked the tyres like nothing, ran perfect. Took it out on the highway put my foot down in second gear got to 4000rpm and it started to ping, started losing power, overboosting. The only difference mine had to the other cars he had done was a XR8 snorkel. So I blocked it off and hey presto, powers back no pinging, boost is normal and everything was as he said. You have to remember that by doing the exhaust you can get an extra 3 or 4psi more than the car is programmed to causing the car to run lean and start to ping. This is from my own experience anyway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shouldnt you send it back so it can work with your 2nd cai?? Im sure Simon would want to fix that for ya. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He hasnt done one with just a CAI and he doesnt want to send me a tune unless he can guarantee no problems. I have a set of 968's I want to fit soon anyway so I'll just wait till he gets a car with injectors to do R&D on then I will get another tune off him to suit the injectors and CAI. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't see that a 2nd CAI would make any difference to a custom tune and visa versa. I've closed mine off and re-opened it a couple of times with no noticable affect. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am only speaking from MY experiences, Simon had one other car with the same tune mine has with a CAI which did the same thing. The car would not run properly with the cai period. He fixed it for him straight away but I have to send mine over to him to fix. Since I blocked the cai it has gone perfect, no pinging, smokes the tyres at 3500rpm anyway so it hasnt really bothered me, keep the intake blocked and I have no problems. Like I said in a previous post, I have a few other plans for it so when I am ready to do them I will retune it properly. For now I am happy with the car the way it is. Sorry bout hijacking the thread, Ive made my point.

If you didnt tell capa about the exhaust when you got the edit dont bother.

No probs mate, hope it helps. If it turns out to be the problem it might be as simple as getting your tuner to take a degree or two out of the timing.

Have you got a cold air intake?? If you have with a standard tune you will get a boost spike and pinging due to the turbo spooling up quicker (from having less restriction due to CAI) than the program has been programmed to. This happened to me, I blocked the CAI and it fixed the problem straight away. You will find the power will increase somewhat aswell.

The heat shrink, cable ties, and hose clamps should take you over 300.

I think he is talking about the instrument cluster not the guage cluster.

So Craig removed the seat. Big whoop. Whats a seat weigh anyway 25 or 30kg. What if Victor Bray weighed only 80kg instead of 140kg (or whatever he weighs) you reckon he would get criticized for that? Doubt it. Craig good onya buddy, Champion effort regardless of the critics, I wish I had the dedication you have towards drag racing and in particular the Turbo clan.

She has already spent the last 9 months or so behind bars. Guilty or not that is a long enough sentence for anyone even if she was guilty. Considering the low life scum that bombed that night club only got 2 1/2 years. Indonesia's guilty until proven innocent system sure sucks. You can have a whole speed lab, get caught and still not serve 20 years in Australia. I wouldnt go over there even if I was paid to , just for the corruption in their whole justice system or should I say injustice system.

Yeah one tuff stocko or one very generous dyno. How is 224RWKW out of a stock T proof that the dyno reads right? I would have thought otherwise.
