Sam.us, I would be getting in touch with Steve at RDP, there would not be many folk in the US that know as much about F6 engines/tuning as Steve would. The electronics with the ZF 6spd Auto could be a tough job for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 21y 6m 20d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 26/04/09 03:41 AM Share Posted 26/04/09 03:41 AM From recent posts on the Aussie V8 Forum Steve is someone who should be avoided. He supposedly bailed from Australia owing about 200k to VPW and a whole number of pissed off customers after shoddy work. He now has a bunch of pissed off Yank customers after him and he recently posted on some US forum asking questions about buying a gun.Best to avoid someone like that.

I`ll miss that nervous twitch he had though, it was the best bullsh*t indicator he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
