tuning ?

[Kate]

ok I thought I woudl give it a shot and ask. my boyfriend made the comment to me earlier. does anyone know where there would be a place to put a car up on the dyno that is closer to us than the 2 shops based out of atlanta, ga?

[Bart]

I have no idea, but I'm sure someone from around that area could give you some tips!!!!!

GA peeps post up!

I think she's talking about here in Cville honey ..is that right Kate? If I were going to do that I think I'd head to Nashville, just my .02

Whooops. I misread that like a Champ!

The only place I know of is Delk Performance... and they are 50/50 from what I've heard and experienced. They can do a good job on your car, but its luck of the draw I believe. Unless they have changed in the past few years.

After doing a web search, your best bet would probably be to contact Clarksville Speedway and ask them if they have someone they can recommend.

We do most of our tuning ourselves. But the software to do so isn't cheap and you definitely need to know what you are doing before you even consider it. But if you have some knowledge and can get the software you need to tune with you might find someone online that would be willing to come up with a tune that you can throw on there.

Probably a pretty good idea as I don't know of any other performance group here in town that I'd trust. I just haven't been here long enough to have made any connections.

ya that figures. well by what he had found when he researched it on the subaru orums was that atlanta had 2 good shops to o to and the guys do a good job there. he has gone to one of them already but its a time consuming trip to just get there and back. he is wanting to get it done once he ets a new turbo for his forester. he is telling me that the stock one is making a clacking noise

so you require a 4 wheel dyno. That is even harder to find than a regular 2 wheel one.

Yup. We have one not too far from where I live though. Our buddy has a R32 Skyline and he has only good things to say about the shop that did his car, but I probably live just as far from you as Atlanta is.

I was just telling my boyfriend about this th other day nd he asked if it was awd capable?


he did go on to tell me that some dude (on the forums he uses) from Nashville told him that they can do a email tune. and that all tey have to do is put info in computer and email it to someone else who tweeks it and sends it back and they load it to vehicle and they keep doing it to whee he wants it. and that it costs alot less to do it that way than actually taking the cr to a shop to have it done and it is almost as accurate as going tothe shop. Iam learing alot more stuff about vehicles besides doin the basic tunes and fixes to em.

Yeah, the Skyline is AWD. The guy with the Skyline is at the beach for the next 2 weeks, so it may be awhile before I find out, sorry! I will try to call him later to see exactly where the dyno is and I will get back to you!
