Spotted too many to remember over the weekend at Motorvation.

I agree with you 100% Luke.

When I was up at Simon's getting my latest tune, I had my heart set on upping the boost as much as I could after I had my exhaust fitted, after 1 dyno run Simon Said to me "Mate we could up the boost in this car if you really want to, but honestly that way it is now with that beautiful power curve , theres no point in pushing it"

It's just that alot of the W.A turbo owners use the local forums (tickford owners/Perth falcons)

Where BPT is a sponsor, not saying they sledge Simon as a tuner but its just weird, I've never heard/seen these stories..

I'm yet to hear about a unsatisfied customer when dealing with Simon.

In my eyes he's the best and he looks after you

In other news..

only 2 weeks untill the Drag Event!!!

made it down to motorvation but on the back of a flat bed truck

while getting tuned on friday night something went wrong and we lost oil pressure. we suspect the oil pump gears. its getting pulled down for a closer look this week and im taking this chance to rebuild it with forged internals and push the limits of the standard turbo.

thanks to mike (xf_falcon) for coming down and showing support in a time of need!

I have been using Simon to tune my car for almost 3 years. I would say the exact opposite about his tuning style. In my experience Simon is the type of tuner that err's on the side of caution.

I have also heard the rumours that seem to originate for BPT and alot of this can be contributed to a former member on this forum who dabbled in tuning for BPT and APC(to the best of my knowledge.). I feel its pretty poor form to try and secure work through character assasination.

I havent dealt with BPT personally so I cant comment on there work. I have dealt with two other tuning companies in the past and was very disappionted with th results and customer service. (if anybody wants to know who the compaines are please pm me)

Of the three companies I have dealt with Xtreme Ford Tuning are the only one I would go back to and gladly hand over money too.

cheers

I'll 2nd, 3rd or is it 4th that

Simon has always done the right thing by me (and my engine)

pushing F6F through the lanes FTL, sound system FTW though!! Quality stuff indeed!

Ramon, im sure you could get cosworth to build u another engine

[XF Falcon]

No worries Ramon. The car still looked sweet as just sitting there. Best of luck getting everything fixed easily and quickly. Hope to see it out on a cruise in the near future.

Oh and thanks for letting us store our drinks in the cool room hey, much appreciated!

Oh and Mat, I forgot to say hi to the tall dude in the FPV shirt (you!) - my bad!

I looked for the car when I was there yesterday afternoon (after 1PM or there abouts) but didn't see it. Where was it?

haha, I was thinking, it'd be nice to say hi and meet a few boosted taxi owners but then I realised I have NFI what they look like so I dont wanna be saying hi to random people just in case...

Newl, it was tucked away at the front of the perth wrx tent.

Not a bad weekend. Perth WRX took out champion club but it helps when all entrants put in a decent effort with driving events. Few issues on Saturday night with security and antilag noise (but skids at 11pm were ok apparently) and a wet t shirt comp that wasnt well run!

On friday night we all nearly got killed over 2 or 3 wrx's antilagging at about 9pm.. Some PISSED off bloke musta been on the turps and just about lost the plot. Didnt help when 25 of his mates followed him!

Highlight for me was seeing some of the MWS cars who were parked in front of us!! I've heard a few reports over the past 12mnths about his workshop etc but the quality seemed spot on. Expensive Daewoo and Ford V8's and HSV's Kept reasonably standard, huge power, brakes, decent gearboxes and supension etc.

BPT......mmmm my old man wasn't given a dyno chart... he was given his car back overheating though :-) Having said that his car does drive well!

I prefer Xtreme myself but no body is perfect though so we must remember that. I go to Simon because he specialises in XR6T's and has a established a lot of tunes he can work with making the tuning process quick, easy and bloody good.....and he's a good bloke!
