Nt Chat.

[devo]

After a talk with Alina "drool" (HELVAV8 - or what ever the plate is) about Peckys and their work there that's what swung me to them. Dave at Hi-Tech was calling my mate with the tt calais v6 constantly because he couldnt figure a few things out on the the tune that ended up being the use of very old software not giving access to some of the calibrations available on his ECU... just didnt have the professionalism you would expect of someone your handing over your hard earned to and trusting the safety of your engine.

If I was in Darwin I would offer to run this section, but from Katherine I doubt I would be organising many cruises... maybe a cruise from Woolies to errr... around the block and back to Woolies.

In the process of ordering my V3.0 Intercooler, 60Lb Siemens Injectors and Bosch 044 Fuel Pump from Rapid.

Now all need to do now is hurry up and get back to Aus haha. I shouldn't have to go to far over my budget to get a twin plate clutch from herrod put in aswell.

Talked to a guy from Rev It Up on the phone today they can fit everything and send the tune box off to herrod, but will this mean they'd be generic tunes even if they ask for what Injectors and stuff I'm running? if they will be, I'll prob take my car to Pecky's.

We could meet in the Woolies car park, Drive to the only set of traffic lights then zig zag up first street onto Second Street and then ummm onto Third Street. Got to love Katherine, it thinks it's New York.

Mate before the speed limits came in what was your record time to Darwin?

Mick at rev it up is a great guy and doesn't bullsh*t. I don't think Herrod will sell through Rev it up. Just so you know Mick sold Rev it up but

still works there. Doug get a flash tuner 3, they are adjustable. Just tell Rob what you have and he can sort something out for you.

Bob does fit his own stuff now, he had a FG xr8 up doing the clutch the other week.

they would be basically a customised generic, ignore that fact that's oxy-moron. Without having your exact car on a dyno the tune will never be 100% perfect for you car, as they need to tune basically for worst case scenarios, so not too much timing, not too much boost as some engines deal with it better than others and they have to assume yours would be a worst case engine so they dont tune it too strong and you end up popping a motor. Always get your car dyno tuned if its at all possible

I moved here after the speed limits, but made a few minutes past 2 hours to the the right hand bend/traffic lights where the palmerston turn off is in my old 6ltr ss ute... not bad considering I still did the speed limits in pine creek and adelaide river. In the turbo I havent raced up because I usually have a car full of passengers and I wouldnt ever drive that fast with other peoples lives in my hands.

Glad to hear bob's health has improved enough for him to work on cars again.

devo - If you do end up seeing bob ask him about his record from Darwin to Alice in a porsche.

I grew up here to I'm still trying to get used to having speed limits.

So is anyone go to the drags tomorrow night??

Yeh Id take it to Bob at concept cars but he wouldn't like it that I have the Rapid Intercooler fitted (I really can't see my car without it lol just paid for all the gear today got a surge tank as well). I asked him on the phone and said they end up taking a lot of sh*t of cars because they can't tune the car right or something along those lines anyway. Will have another chat with him when I get back to darwin and see what he says but if he can't, only option is to talk to Hi-Tech or Peckys to get a custom tune done. How much are the flash tuner 3s? I will most likely get clutch done when I get back they are $1800 for twin plate at Concept Cars like you said before.

[YellowTurbo]

I was thinking about the drags but I'm setting my car up for the track day on sunday. New oil only done 2400km

Doug, I'll talk to rob herrod if your interested and see what he can do with a tune. But the tune you have will be fine with some

octane booster. Don't get carried away Darwin is a harsh area on cars.

Pinging is your enemy.

I'll give you a hand with this intercooler kit and the rest of the crap you brought, sounds like some fun.

At the end of the day we can only tell you what we know, it's your decision.

[Lynchy]

Yeh ok see what he says for me, not much more I can do from over here haha sort it out when I'm actually in Darwin. Will call you when I'm back, we'll sort the car out over a saturday and a carton of beer.
