DORKO Member 340 Member For: 17y 10m 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 22/08/07 09:57 AM Share Posted 22/08/07 09:57 AM Hi All,This is a really dump question but I need help! I have search the forum but cant find the answerCan someone please let me know which Clamps I need to get changed so I can run the generic 10 PSI tune? I went to Ultra Tune today and they wanted to replace all the clamps costing $450 plus clamps on top. I’ve talked to a few people and they said it was only a couple of clamps. But which ones??? Perhaps someone has pictures or the actual spot I can look for the sh*tty clamps so that I can tell the mechanic only these ones instead of them pulling the front bumper off and costing me a arm and a leg. ( Or is this the only way) I’m not keen on doing it myself as I have no idea what I’m doing, and the other problem is I don’t have the tools. Oh lastly do I still need to get the Spark plugs gapped? It was mentioned to me that yes I do but some are saying no because its a BF model.If you know someone in Perth that wont rip me off and knows what they are doing, can you PM or post there details. At the moment I can't afford the Custom tune as I have my wedding in October to pay for.But I still want more power Once I've paid for the wedding, then Xtreme tune from Simon here I come! Thanks in advance, and my apologies for being clueless.Dorko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOWDOWN BACK SLOWER THEN EVER! Member 706 Member For: 17y 6m 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/08/07 10:04 AM Share Posted 22/08/07 10:04 AM Clamps???? $450????? Tell them to go and jump...You need to get the plugs changed or gapped to 0.8. For new plugs fitted should be around $65.Ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
