Need opinions!
 

So I finally think I found a body shop that will install my body kit. I just moved to the area, so its not like I know these guys forever, but they have a good customer base and reviews. The question is, should I set my car to the Valet setting, or should I leave it on the tuned or regular settings and not be so worried?? I see so many stories of joyrides gone wrong, or simply abusing the car driving. My car is totally modded and is so much beyond stock, it would be easy for a novice to crash it, and is so loud and tempting to want to try. I need to know what you guys are thinking and would do in similar circumstances. Thanks in advance, I hate saying TIA because at work thats a term for a stroke, and it confuses me:P

You've come to the right place. We are loaded with opinions. :icon17:

Now ... if it is facts you are looking for ... um ... :ugh:

hahaha you know what they say about those...;)

For the record im leaning towards just putting it on valet. This isnt a Camry.

Need opinions!
 

I vote valet tune. If they are honest, they probably won't even know/notice. But if they are dishonest, they may know how to change the tune map. I always take pics of the mileage, too. No reason to drive the car for body kit install.

lol jp :rofl2:

True good idea, I will def do that. I know after speaking to me they already realize how protective/ocd I am about my car.

or note down the mileage before hand, mention to the head mechanic you had a bad experience and then they will probably think you're being a weener but atleast they know you're a helicopter owner :)

Valet mode, for sure. You've got it, so you might as well use it!

Now I know ill already get a little shiz for asking the question. But its the first Ive heard about Valet Mode. I'm afraid to let people drive my car period since it has a SPEC stage 3 clutch not including the other mods. I know they will stall it if they have never driven such a performance stage. I would rather save me the heartache of seeing them stall it... again...
There has been one person so far that hasn't stalled it and drove the car like if I would and he has driven plenty of Stage 2's and 3's

How is that Valet Mode engaged, just so I know for the future?

The valet mode is one of the maps you can choose from when your Z has been tuned. I have Ecutek and it has valet mode. I'm sure that UpRev has it as well. Someone will chime in and confirm.

this is the first time i've heard of this as well....:confused:

are u guys like non-car guys? :icon08: or was born today?

:iagree: i would definitely use it if my car had it.

i just recently got my car lol still in learning mode

:icon17: yah, it's a feature if you buy re-flash for ur ECU.

long gone are days where u mount piggybacks and run your laptop from it to program.. :ugh:
