Robos F6 Donating Members 407 Member For: 15y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 28/07/09 02:11 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 02:11 AM I'm about to get a tune but am wondering whether to buy a Cal 3 for $795 or buy a 2nd hand Cal 1 which has plenty of lifes left in it and has been returned back to stock for $300. Is it worth justifying the extra expense of $500 for Cal 3 when I presume all tuners can still perform the same results with a Cal 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that the xcal3 is faster, it also has data logging builtin to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right or am I mis-informed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 9m 27d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 28/07/09 07:28 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 07:28 AM That was the plan until it backfired on them resulting in a massive uproar from customers. So they changed their mind. So...XCal1 is still usable providing your tuner is a registered SCT tuner with Herrod's.There's no repairs on XCal1's though, so if it breaks then you'll have to upgrade. But I don't think I've ever heard of one stuffing up.The XCal3's are poor quality. The first one I got had a broken screen and Herrod's didn't seem interested in replacing it. The second unit has a broken clip from when it's been assembled and the screen is on an angle. They just seem cheap and nasty. IMO they're certainly not worth the price we pay for them! But I guess it's a lot cheaper than the $1395 I paid for the XCal1 when they hit the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
