    So, it’s all in the tuning eh?

    Truer words have never been spoken. After piss-farting around for 12 months with bad fuel economy, lumpy idle, poor part throttle response, total inability to come off and on throttle without huge amounts of jerkiness (which I think led to four busted engine mounts) -and let us not forget the endless excuses- I finally bit the bullet and paid DynoDave (Dave Flood) to tune my car. This was, far and away, the best couple of hundred dollars I’ve ever spent on my car. This is exactly how my car should have driven from the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the free tuning performed by a certain somebody here, but I’d much rather have paid the money up front and had the job done properly.

    I think the little “come have your car tuned by the best” moniker should be transferred from a certain “tuner” –and I use the term loosely, to Dyno Dave.
    The nuts and bolts of it is/are- peak power is the same, everything else is far, far better.

    Anyway, that’s enough treading in toes for little old me today.
    Dyno chart is ‘a coming.
    And so it begins...

    yeah get it right from the begining as all that money you waist on unburnt fuel would have paid off for the tune in the 1st place.

    no - they can be tuned by anyone...

    but obviously this is not really the best course of action is it?

    are you sure? I thought tuning software was only available to dealers and tuners of the product.

    but you usually are pretty good with facts so...
