I could (and hope) be wrong but it seems to be a regular occurance with some sydney tunersEdit: maybe when you took it back they turned back on the knock sensors therefore pulling out a heap of timing and going like sh*t??

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 4m 30d Posted 21/12/10 08:31 PM Share Posted 21/12/10 08:31 PM I agree with Possum on the credibility of some Sydney tuners, as I have experienced Tunes from three of them so far. I hope he hasn't gone to Pingtune, sorry I meant to say Intune Motorsports.lol. When I bought my car the previous owner had a custom tune by them and when I went back I asked him to take it for a drive and let me know what that noise was (detonation), lol, he said it's normal for these things to ping a bit. I said thank you and left there as fast as I could.Mate if you are still having issues go and speak to Jim @ Tunehouse both Possum and I have 11 second daily drivers tuned there and he will not leave the car if he does not feel comfortable with the Tune, let alone pinging? Is it possible you got a bad batch of fuel or was it doing it straight away from the Tune Shop?

Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 21/12/10 08:48 PM Share Posted 21/12/10 08:48 PM I don't know how some of the shops can do "custom tunes" for $400 on special!!! Basically that just means we will load a basic tune from a car with similar mods and then modify it a bit... Not a full custom tune...You pay less, you get less... I bet when they they have specials on they can do twice as many tunes in a day... It's not like they would pay their employees 30% less that week, so how would they compensate???
