It's great to hear that it all worked out for you Dave - congrats mate, and enjoy you're new found power (and reliability, efficency, longetivity, ability)

Thanks Kael, yep it is good to finally get a car that is a dream to drive.

As has been said in a lot in threads on this forum, 'cant wait for the next round of mods' to fall over the 300 line.

Couple of months maybe or even sooner if I can squeeze the stimulus money from the missus.

Cheers mate.

Good to see your back on track, just remember to stay away from those dodgy tuners.

mate you have found the best ,the rest of us have a fair idea who you are refering to

Hi guys

Thought I would let you all know of the latest on this topic.

Well the tuner in question has done the right thing( in my opinion ) and refunded me the cost of the dodgy tune.

It took a lot of ''he said'' ''he said'' discussions but in the end he came to the party and gave me the refund.

While this thread was not meant to stop people from using this tuner, just a way for me to inform you all of my experiences with him, I think the problem with his business still exists. But please do your homework before you decide on a tuner and talk to the half dozen or so in WA that seem to be able to tune these great cars.

I have in the end decided to stay with Simon at 'extreme ford tuning' as he did a great job with my car and he has a workshop and office I can visit. Booked in later this month for the next stage to get to the 300rwkw mark.

I have learned the hardway on this one but atleast it all worked out for the good in the end.

Cheers all

That's good to hear mate.

Every tuner tunes differently and each one will have a different feel. You might like it one way from one tuner and I will like it another way from another tuner but that doesn’t mean the tuner is a dickhead.

Some tuners are new and not had the experience that others have had so they can’t refine the tune as well are tickle it to suit you as an experienced tuner and I’m sure we can all understand that.

Good tuners don’t fall out of tree’s ready to go and do a wonderful job on the first car they tune and I could tell you some stories about bad Tunes from ALL the top tuners in WA!!!!

So getting on here and condemning them to me is a low form of self satisfaction that I must disagree with.

How do you think these TOP tuners got to a stage where they are as good as they are now and charge as much as they do now? From starting somewhere and learning as they go. They will make mistakes and all the top tuners have made mistakes.

For the Record Simon from XFT has been doing my tunes now for 5 years but I have had many others and know the differences between them and the way the car drives and feels. Simon started in his driveway at his home and he had many bag him about working from home and other issues but he is on top now but it wasn’t all plain sailing and people condemning young tuners like Simon was and this bloke having a go to me is wrong!

The tuner in question here is a young bloke having a go and anyone who thinks he should be as good as someone like Simon from XTF or C&V who has done probably a thousand cars is on drugs because there is no substitute for experience.

Give it a Rest!

auscraft/psi king this thread is about strike_lightning's experiences. Please leave it at that.

[turbotrana]

I wouldn't say there is "no substitute for experience". There are heaps of tuners who still put out sh*t work regardless of the number of tunes they have done. For whatever reason (sh*t for brains, too much drugs), all there work is hit/miss, substandard.

Then there are some guys who are very capable and do excellent work with minimal experience.

Trying to base someones skills on experience does not fit with me as I have seen heaps of experienced people do sh-t work.
