Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Shame. Always good to let the builder to do the tune :(

 

Hopefully it all turns out ok in the end.

 

Out of interest, how much are you expecting this 'run in tune' to cost?

Tomei built it.

The only person who knows what is going on is Sean. At the end of the day, he is a great tuner and hence why we have him on as a sponsor. He has a great deal of knowledge with these motors and also has a number of supporters. A lot of the people that use him speak greatly of what he does. However, not everyone uses him and anyone that has either built a car or required a major re-tune will tell you that these things take a lot of time. 

 

I can appreciate that it is difficult from your end as you just want your car back. Although it's been 3 weeks since you delivered it to Sean, there has been a few things that have come up in that time.

 

1) the fuel pump

2) he fell ill for a week

3) Jambo - a massive marketing opportunity for him that probably results in a lot of revenue for his business

4) the ECU

 

The added difficulty is when you have people who haven't built a car before asking why it hasn't been done yet. You've got a brand new engine which is worth some decent coin along with some very nice go-fast bits, you don't want this rushed and botched.

 

My 2c, speak to Sean and try and maintain a positive frame of mind. :) I know that it isn't easy, but that's what you need to do. 

 

Bunta and Colin had theirs tuned there and they were both quite nice and white and 32s and GT-Rs.... Creepy :P

+1 to this. The people outside of this situation are being quite inflammatory, insinuating somthing is broken, or that the tuner is being underhanded ect. Its not at all helpful to Ants or one of our club sponsors.

Ants, my advice is this. If you want an update every few days, ring up and ask. Every work shop I have ever dealt with operates like this. None of them will ring you unless they need something or its done.

Everyone else shut the f**k up!!!!

    • Guys ,I had Shannon's - https://www.shannons.com.au/  insure my 400R , it was just over 2k , and to be fair my last m240i was around 1900 with NRMA.
    • There's a not inconsiderable amount of US muscle on Japanese roads if you keep your eyes/ears open. Anything from Hummer H2s to classics like C2 Corvettes. Here's three at a American diner style place called UK Wildcats cafe in Mukogawa in Amagasaki (just west of Osaka) https://maps.app.goo.gl/hUSch3fp6tPr6gpz9
    • Ducan , it basically  coverts the convert the top screen to a android tablet (not the bottom one - but you have to clink to the android auto or apple car play icon on the bottom screen to get it started ) , you can Bluetooth your phone to it and it creates a shortcut for you to switch to full android auto or apple car play if you need it , or you can add a mobile data sim to you and then you can run 4g while driving around . 
    • PB the karnt, then lost an IC clamp. Was also warned about go sideways 😂 He said he understands the track is hot and tyres let go in the heat. Called it a day 4th session, came on the throttle on Lap 2 and lost boost. No idea where the passenger side IC Bluetoothed to, and it was getting quite hot so called it quits. Waited for the other boys then we ended up at the pub for 3 hours lol. My mate in the R33 shit box managed a 59s on his first track experience at Luddenham.
