If u wanna dick around with an existing tune and not blow you car up then get an Xcal Edited 14/08/14 12:34 AM by Princess Fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do our own mechanical work on our cars.Why not tune them ourselves? There's plenty of forums and knowledgeable people out there to help. So why not?

There's a lot of very knowledgable people that are willing to help you providing your willing to learn.. I'm taking it at my own pace and I've started from the ground up, it really is exciting learning new things and watching it come to life 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45T-XR Donating Members 417 Member For: 17y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Gladstone, Queensland Posted 14/08/14 04:20 AM Share Posted 14/08/14 04:20 AM I have done soooo much road tuning. It sucks for learning. Controlled conditions and the dyno are best for learning. Approach a few shops and see if they will allow you to pay them an hourly rate to ramp the car for you while you have a play, I find they are usually keen when it is them ramping the car, and you pay cash after hours/weekends.
