Shes getting tuned the end of this month, and with snow back in the forcast she wont see much road time.

Who's tuning your car? where at?

The local Z Car Club is hosting a Tuning Weekend with Greg and Seb from Specialty Z out of California. We are flying them in to tune our cars and hang out in the frozen north for a few days! Great guys and they are awesome tuners... we usually have enough cars to keep them busy for 3 days straight, 8-10 hrs a day!
Mitco was the first one to sign on (literally, minutes after I posted!) lol

Details are posted in the Zedmonton Lounge

That's awesome the Z Club down here in Texas does this one in awhile to!

The Easter bunny had some left over junk in the bottom of his basket he dropped by today...

I'm getting a little worried about the base tune. It'll be months till I'm able to get to a tuner and I run this car as my DD.

From the smile on Mitco's face last night when he pulled up in his Z, I think you can safely drive this base tune (with some restraint!) till you can get to a tuner!
The trick is, the restraint!

Dzel · 04-05-2013, 07:43 AM

I'll be shaking and scratching like a crack head asking for boost!

You'll be fine with a base tune. Hell I don't think I ever got a proper tune on mine and it ran fine.....after I fixed all the other issues which had nothing to do with the tune.

Mitco39 · 04-05-2013, 08:48 AM

The car runs and drives fine, the only thing is it gets super rich under WOT (below 10:1 somewhere), so worst case you foul a set of plugs before you get it tuned.

SS_Firehawk · 04-05-2013, 02:11 PM

Those plugs are like $100. If you do, I have a spare set of new ones (shameless plug) But it may be a few months unless GTM ships them out for me.

Mitco39 · 04-05-2013, 02:17 PM

I actually still have my stockers in there right now, going to throw the GTR plugs in right before she goes on the Dyno.

It sounds like a UpRev tuner in Canada would make a boat of cash up there....Just traveling around selling his services.

Dude WTF!!!!

He's a subaru fanboi and caters to COBB tunes more than the UpRev platform. His tunes are just as expensive and produce less than optimal results. I'll leave it at that.....
