[mcinnes]

Haha yea I was stuck on nights haha. Thank god no more till Wednesday haha.

Sydney has some very reputable tuners. Even Melbourne if your game haha.

I am so keen on a cruise! We should try organise one. Or just a meet up to meet each other and check out the cars.

+1 for a cruise.

Too bad autotech in hume isn't related to the one in Sydney, they have a really good reputation.

Yeah agreed but I have heard some good things about these guys as well. I suppose the plus for me with them is they are like 5 minutes away from me. That spiro from autotech in sydney everyone gives him rave reviews. Once I am ready im going to get some prices from esp, gentech and autotech in Canberra. Should be interesting.

[aussie_dozer]

After you get your prices from the Canberra tuners, price up some from Sydney. You will be suprised how much cheaper sydney can be. There are more tuners, so they compete for your dollar. My work is done in Sydney now. Love it, drop the car off and go see friends, pick it up in the afternoon.

Just an option.

You obviously haven't had any problems then. I was thinking of this as an option but talked myself into staying local... When I finally have the money I should prob compare.

[Bellato]

Nah im talking about a white FG with black stripes.

Im pretty sure the blue one is owned by The Impoud

Also, pretty sure I saw Bellato the other day. I drove past and saw black/grey car with black wheels that looked like his. I cant remember where though -.- it was parked

Been a bit absent on the forums lately lol.

Almost certain you didn't see me mcinnes because I've been out of canberra since mid november. Back in Griffith NSW for uni break. Heading back to Canberra in a couple of weeks.

Oh and I have silver wheels now and soon to be purple lol, Guarantee I'll have the ONLY car like mine in the country haha

Hi mcinnes Im a southside person but work at fyshwick so might see you around. Thanks for the info on the rego. LOL when I put the foot down when I was test driving the car the mrs almost had a heart attack at the speed and I didnt even give it much lol. I actually know of a person who works at Gen Tech in Mitchell, Nathan is his name he is part of my step sons family funnily enough. Was checking out there prices before seem to be a little exy in price though.

I am by no means a car expert and I wont pretend I know as much as the next person about them either, and to be honest I really can't do much to my car anyway being that it is still under warranty and my wife insisted that we get the extended warranty with the car as well. So 4 years to go before I can consider doing any major mods anyway. I am impressed with the performance how it is anyway. I went for a cruze out the back of tharwa the other day with a couple of mates in the car and we did some tests with the car to see how it would perform. I guess what most impressed us all was the fact that we could get from 0 to 100 kmh in a standing start position with 4 adults in the car in just under 6 seconds, damn why do you really need to upgrade. For a stock car well I am assuming that it is stock that's pretty impressive. Over all I am impressed with the car love the look and love the performance overall its a great car. I keep having to find a reason to leave the house so I can take it for another drive lol.

Is there any other places in Canberra or Queanbeyan area that anyone could recommend for flash tuning ect ect for my car?

Welcome mate! I have a black FG with nsw rego. I live in watson, uni at acton and work in Kingston so keep an eye out and pull me over to say hi, very rarely in a rush to go anywhere lol

This is true. I've gotten quotes off both ESP and Gentech, didn't wanna look at other ACT tuners because I only want to use guys with experience with our cars. Got some rough prices from sydney and yea much cheaper and probably do a slightly better job but catch is if something goes wrong, have fun gettin a tow to sydney lol.

But in saying that I'm heading down to Melbourne in July and in the process of talking to Mick from Pitlane because from what I've read he really knows his sh*t! But Gentech is still on the cards for me.

Definite +1 for a cruise or even catch up in the city or dickson or something. So we have 2 nitro FG's, a white G6et, a Black B series and my black FG. That's enough to get started lol.
