Was running about 290rwkws and this happened:<div class='bbimg'><div class='bbimg'><div class='bbimg'></div></div></div>I'm also weighing up my options but looks like a race prepped motor is the way to go.I'm just hoping the head is okay....← you dont do things by halves!! ←No, you are dead right there. If you look closely at the photograph, nearly all the components are in quarters... or more.... Edited 01/11/06 11:34 AM by God666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any changes to the PCM can now be detected on BA & BF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start...

Not sure if his current tune is by them though.Anyway, he's not blaming the tuner.Built2redline, I read a thread of yours that said they checked your car awhile ago before they tuned it and it was running lean and had burnt the plugs out. How long ago or how many km's have you done since then?The damage may of been done way back then. Edited 02/11/06 09:37 AM by Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've already been to CV for a tune, I'd say take it to them for the rebuild, they know their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

built2redline Member 187 Member For: 19y 6m 22d Location: sh*tney Posted 02/11/06 09:34 AM Author Share Posted 02/11/06 09:34 AM I cant and wont say who tuned the car because im not in the business of giving someone a bad rep. yes C&V had done some work to the car previously but after going back 3 times to fix a problem that I had told them about before editing the car, they jumped right in and tuned it and obviously didnt get the results. that was fine I took it to another tuner once the car had began to loose power, it was found that the cat had collapsed under the previous tune.. so the cat was replaced and the car retuned. the problem that I took the car into c&v had returned. got the problem fixed and the car retuned.. this was 2 months ago.so you see this is where I dunno which tuner to TRUST with the car. some tuners dont want to try and fix problems it seems, they just want a tune to run smoothly--- who doesnt right?
