barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 24d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 27/08/14 05:04 AM Share Posted 27/08/14 05:04 AM Don't think he has the stock parts ratter. Everything came from a modified wreck. So it pretty much has to work in some capacity as it is or it's useless to him...Hence the reason RDP left it the way it was I guess. Would of been nice if they actually tried to help though. I agree with what you say about them not fitting/supplying parts ect. However it seems to me like they threw their hands in the air and didn't really try at all. Where you probably would have at least offered some advice or diagnosis if you could have. Of course nobody expects you to spend hours diagnosing issues you didn't create that you wont get paid for. But you would have made an effort to help the customer.

genuine honest person Member 2,769 Member For: 10y 10m 16d Gender: Male Location: near brisbane Posted 27/08/14 07:12 AM Author Share Posted 27/08/14 07:12 AM I spoke this morning with him about what is going on with my car .He explained to me that there is a issue with the computer due to changing the solenoid it made no difference .so Idecided for him to go ahead and fit the E boost only if he could guaranty me that it would fix the problem . .I also asked why he changed the injectors instead of the valve springs ,his reply was that they did not play up before he tuned it to 300 rwkw.The thing is I asked him before I got it tuned if the valve springs were no good no more due to the engine did not produce power after 5300 rpm (big drop in the dyno graph from RDP )to me that said that the valve springs may be stuffed . So now I have big injectors but can not use them ,would have been better if he fitted new springs so the engine revs smoothly .Ihave seen the 440 injectors do 300 rwkw on some of the cars on this forum . the problem is I am no mechanic ,so I have to trust one . I knew that the car must have some issuesbecause it just did not run correctly after RDP tuned it . I decided to get it tuned by him ,only because everyone was booked out or cancelled on me .Also the owner of the shop hasa 1000 hp fg xr6 turbo ,so he must know something I thought .And yes I wanted to go to powercruise no mater what , I slaved over this car for nearly 7 month to get it there and thennot going there due to some tuner not giving a sh*t .That just made me feel so disappointed and let down ,that I picked the nearest tuner available that had time to help me get itsorted out before the 11 september . I do not ask much in live but just to have some fun with what I love best ,and that is cars . I have never ever owned a real nice car due topeople ripping me of . that's why I decided to build this car my self ,but I can not tune cars so I am relying on professionals to do there job correctly for me .ps mi girlfriend just camehome from work crying ,our mazda 3 that we had sins new got hailed on .Its not worth owning a nice car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whats done is done I suppose. Just hope that all the money time and effort that uve spent has been worth it from being fuct over by tuners that have seen you coming.
