    Tuner around Chicago?

    I'm looking for a tuner around here (just moved here last fall). If anyone knows of one, or better yet, recommends one, I'd appreciate a heads up. Thanks

    Saleen 99-04 Authenic Saleen wheels... price?

    Not sure about the Pirellis, but Saleen.com had the wheels listed for $389 for an 18x10. If I remember right, the 18x9s were about $30-40 less. Stage 3 had a set of 4 18x9 w/pirelli rubber on them for $2500 (+/-) as well (just came to me). Hope that helps. The 99-04 wheels are like...

    Died a little inside tonight

    I don't think I've ever felt upset about anything anyone's every done with THEIR car. Like KT said, the more that get fcked up, the more yours stands out. :shrug: I'm not going to shed a tear over something some did/didn't do with their car anwyay. I'm up to 18 miles on my car this year...

    winter of 2010

    Ditto (on both counts). We're getting hammered as well. Supposed to get 9-14 in the next 24-30 hours, with the added bonus of 30-40mph winds starting tonight/tomorrow. Actually supposed to go to Chicago Thursday afternoon (for the auto show on Friday) and then go to Madison from there...

    Sorry if I had came off on the wrong foot.

    Being right on the internet = the most important thing ever. Er, scratch that. Proving someone wrong or a "fake" is more important. [yawn]

    Wow, really? pics.

    and I wholly agree with that. But who am I to say "that's the dumbest thing ever"? Really, it doesn't affect me in the least bit. It doesn't upset me, hell, I wouldn't even care if someone bought my car, painted it neon green and orange, put it on dubs and made it hop like a jumping bean...

    Wow, really? pics.

    Tell them it's a trailor hitch? ;) All joking aside, I do agree. But I find them more idiotic than offensive. I don't have any kids, but would likely change my perspective if I did (meaning, I would). But my point remains, as long as it's not illegal in a given state, it's their money...

    Wow, really? pics.

    I kind of remember hearing something about that in Florida too. Maybe not banned, but it was on the bill to make them so. I think that's the more comical aspect of all of it. People are offended by them. Come on. It's 2010. There's more offensive things on the nightly news.

    Wow, really? pics.

    I've never understood why people get so pissy about what others do to their cars. :shrug: It's their money, it in no way affects me.

    Anyone ever dealt with BuyFordRacing.com?

    This is good info. I was thinking about buying injectors and MAF from them. My decision just got easier.

    Dyno/Tuner in Fort Wayne, IN?

    Called MPH. $750 for tuner and dyno/tune. Hmmm. He said given the list of bits I was looking at, I could see a 60-70hp gain. Decisions, decisions. Looking at about $2k with that latest info. He also said I *could* drive it there, if I stayed out of the boost. I told him that's easier said...

    Dyno/Tuner in Fort Wayne, IN?

    Yeah. I can't remember who it was I spoke to at BS, but I got the idea they were primarily 05+ (this was evident on their website as well). Which is unfortunate for me, as I'm only 80 miles from them. I did get my midpipe from them though. May get the SCT from them as well (if it gets down to...

    Dyno/Tuner in Fort Wayne, IN?

    Didn't think so. Is it a possibility a potential tuner (MPH for example) sends you a tune for the SCT so it's at least driveable, or is a trailor the only absolute option? Reason I ask, I don't have any friends with trailors anymore. I'll give MPH a call later today and get some info from...

    Dyno/Tuner in Fort Wayne, IN?

    That's what I was afraid of. My second question related to that: should the car be trailored, or could it be driven? I'm looking at changing the MAF, CAI, smaller pulley, injectors/pump, and possibly a throttle body. I wouldn't want to chance it by driving it 180 miles to the dyno.

    Dyno/Tuner in Fort Wayne, IN?

    I'm getting a list of bits around and need to know where to take the car for a tune, so I can give them a call in advance and get an idea on cost before ordering said bits. I've emailed BrenSpeed (in Plymouth), and they said $875 for an SCT and dyno tune. Being new to all this, I don't know...
