thats the problem with having a car sit around for ages then go straight for tuning..it goes from doing nothing for 6 months to full power runs on a dyno..

When my car has been sitting for months, It always takes a while to loosen everything up..a good hour long drive at least before it feels normal again and i feel confident to flog it a bit..

Problem is you need to do this before dyno tuning not after, bit hard when you have limited tuning skills though..

So its always a worry heading for the dyno after a build.

My car hasnt sat around for ages mate my car gets driven couple times a week but doesnt do many K's tho tbh and shit weather in sydney right now so its hard to have a decent fang with 300kw+ on the tar

Well for an amatuer like me anyways haha

[ARTZ]

[Mick_o]

haha all good mate but i agree with what you are saying these things do require the cobwebs blowing out before a run on the rollers

yeah dont mind me im just rambling shit again

May have been haha!!

They rate it out there too, I think the term used was "pretty fkn shmick stainless work" from memory

Once it's tuned, what sort of driving stuff do you do? Trackdays? Hillclimbs? Motokhanas? Drift?

[wolverine]

I hear we have a result.
