tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 23/12/10 12:03 AM Share Posted 23/12/10 12:03 AM (edited) Mate I'm by no means having a go at you, I'd probably do the same. It just seems that people love fighting on the internet and will go out of their way to cause a riot when the only people that can speak with any authority on the matter are yourself and the tuner. That's all.I sincerely hope it's all sorted ASAP.And before the sh*t starts (or continues) about protecting 'sponsors', people pay to advertise on here and that's the extent of it. As per the forum rules that you all agree to we will not tolerate anything slanderous about any person or entity that could potentially jeopardise the forum or its members.

F6_Tornado F6+300+ Member 940 Member For: 20y 2m 4d Location: In The Ute Posted 23/12/10 12:11 AM Share Posted 23/12/10 12:11 AM To be fair to all involved the vehicle may have had a terminal problem before being tuned…. From what I read all he paid for was a tune.Maybe the fuel filter was 75% blocked? Maybe the fuel pump can’t cope? Maybe it now has a few air leaks due to boost being a bit above what it was. Maybe it already had a crack in a piston land or body and its starting to now show….. so many possibilities so to be circling like Vultures is a bit harsh I think and I must agree with Tab. %$@&* knows why LOLI guess for $400 they are not about to service and go over the whole engine for you. (probably didnt even open the Bonnet) I can’t recall how many times I’ve said to a couple of tuners here in Perth “DO A COMPRESSION TEST BEFORE U TUNE” … I know one of my utes started to bread a bit… I hadn’t belted it in months so why? Dropped the slugs out only to find one cracked. God only knows when that occurred and it may have been slowly failing over 12 months. What if I had of slipped into a tuner and not noticed the breathing? Go out and belt it and BOOOOOOM!! Must have been the tuners fault I guess??????In a way I was lucky as I had an external breather hence me noticing it.I’m not saying C&V don’t have some responsibility but for $400 doesn’t get you much now and I guess it’s the owner’s responsibility to present the car in good working and service condition.A million things could be wrong so at least be open minded as tab suggested.

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 1m 28d Posted 23/12/10 01:06 AM Share Posted 23/12/10 01:06 AM So they must be positive that your flex plate has come loose. did you pull off the inspection cover and see if the plate moves ? You don't want to pull the box out for nothing.To answer your question yes I have had the same experience when it came to tuning and my solution was to go to another tuner.

So automatically people assume they are not getting a custom tune due to Cons fast work. There is only so much you can do with the tune ups in these vehicles people who say they spend on 6 - 7- 8 hours personally there is not that much time that can be spent on a tune up. Trial and error is the biggest problem with people getting it in there heads, that because this guy spent 6 hours and we only spent 1 the 6 hour tune up is better. We have the most records out of this shop with XR6 turbo's, F6's, XR8's, etc & also have had the most success with them out of anyone. First to run 10's in a BA XR6 turbo. (2003)13 10 second BA Xr6 turbo's out of this shop. 5 10 second BF XR6 turbo's & F6's. Fastest Territory in the world. Fastest GT in the country. First to crack the 700rwkw mark, in an F6. (Out of the Falcon scene) Fastest turbo car in Australia out right (Campo's Mustang)Fastest LS1 in the world (Steve Petrovski's Blue ute) Fastest half chassis car in Australia (MR MAD) So not only do we specialise in Ford's we can set the record in anything.We also endeavour to give our customers the best service for the lowest price on the market with out compromise. We don't want to get into comparisons with any other tuners or anyone else, we do our own development and pass that wealth of knowledge to our customers and have always done that for the 26 years we have been in business. Just remember talk is cheap we have the results to back ourselves up. To all our customers who support us thank you & all the best for the festive season.
