Turbo is out of my budget! :( How much roughly does a proper tune and engine management (an average) cost?

heheh well theres too many variables there.

check out www.etuner.com.au

Then Look at Nengun.com for prices on Emanage Ultimate + Vmanage

then hope like hell something comes up cheap 2nd hand.

theres $2,000 in the hardware alone... then install and tune... well... dpends who you know.

Interesting. That brian88 guy keeps pumping out new threads. Something must be up with that. I guess we will just have to wait for Steve to make an adjustment to it.

I put 2500km on my car within 2 days after buying it, then a further 2000km over the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't even call that bad.

You obviously didn't look hard enough: http://www.commbank.com.au/about-us/careers/ If a position is available, it will be listed. If not, then you can't apply. Lucky I'm with Westpac... and in Brisba

Thought I would add another question to the Stupid Thread.

Why is it that workshops (tire, suspension, and anyone that takes your wheels off) keep persisting to do your wheel nuts up with their air impact wrench to tighnesses that require Hercules strength when removing by hand?

Seriously, if the average person got a flat and their wheel nuts were done up insanely tight, that's not very useful is it?

Because it's easier for a gorilla wearing a blue shirt to use a rattle gun than it is to teach them how to set and use a torque wrench properly.

ok heres a stupid question. will 38 psi damage my 205/55/r16s? becasue thats what the tyre shop pumped em too. im just used to pumping rubbers to 32 psi

If you have a look on the sidewall of your tyres it indicates the maximum PSI, and 38 is fine.

Remember that pressures rise when the tyre gets warm. Because of that, you should always inflate or deflate tyres to a warm pressure, not a cold pressure. 38psi cold might be 42psi warm, and it's this warm pressure that is important as that is what the tyre will be at for 99% of your driving.

a few more stupid questions from me.

1. my car feels sluggish ever since i got new rims irs this becasue the alloys are heavier then the steelies or is it becasue of the tyres?

2. Will removing my intake resonator void the warranty, decrease my low end torque, give me that bad ***** whoosh noise?

Is the overall diameter of the new tyres larger than that of the old stock tyres?

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
