With the under battery intake I've seen that once before, from what I hear, Joe is the man and this would be the first bad thing I've heard from his workshop.

Hope my motors not a lemon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People make assumptions all the time, I'm gona make one to say that gaz has some withdrawal symptoms from his car. it was an awesome build though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 8y 7m 10d Posted 25/08/16 07:09 AM Author Share Posted 25/08/16 07:09 AM Actually the car was 100% stock with a full service history and not one issue! The final tune at my previous tuner was poor and when I questioned the guy his response was just as poor and after 15k going into his hands id expect a hell of a lot more effort! I moved on from that shop just like another bunch have I have talked to... streamline are loving fixing there stuff ups. Was only at Streamline a few weeks ago and they had 3 cars direcly from my previous tuner with unhappy owners. A ve clubby a ss and a fg t.... mark was pretty good by not saying much about Paul, but the Clubby owner was pretty cranky after dropping as much as I had and a rough as guts tune. I went to Joe who had my car on his dyno for 7hrs fixing many little issues that came from a sub standard tune file... so I cant really fault him either. No water was driven through lol. My local Machanic who has 35yrs in the trade seems to think my pump gears failed!! Which killed everything with it. But wont know exactly till his got the block out and does some testing/searching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
