Guest Bren Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Guys - Just wanted to touch on a few things. Please re-visit your cars for leaks, boost leaks, dirty filter, loose clamps, bad plugs - these things can really turn a nice dyno day into a stressful diagnostic session . We have a nice pre-tune checklist on our site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'll make sure to get soap in my intercooler and use mobile 1 synthetic before I come see Bren next month I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Maybe I should undo a random vacuum line so my car gets more camera time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmoe Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Speaking of camera time.... About how many LGTs showing up on Sat.? We should get a group shot setup. I'm bringing my camera and will hopefully take some shots of a bunch of cars if people and Bren don't mind. Would love to get a nice lineup shot and some paired car shots type thing. Though I'm not sure I have the correct filter needed to actually capture a real photo of a Spec. B. Way too fast for max shutter speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robitrice Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My two buddys are coming down to observe as one is interested in working with bren and the other in a really clean wrx bren tuned a little while back. The parking area is not bad for pics either as long as people park intelligently lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 The lot back there is awesome for pics. Fuel pump is in primes like a boss no fuel leaks. Checked the turbo for shaft play, freaking perfect still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say bring it down here, but the other bay is being occupied by a couch that needs to find its way back in the house and a cable machine that I need to get around to selling.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted September 28, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted September 28, 2012 Holy crap Dujo! I just got my hands on your old Turbo. Alberto wasn't kidding at all about the state of your turbo. I don't know how you got away with that still running day to day! You are extremely lucky it held until it was discovered. That shaft has more play in it than spc's dingaling in a thumb of a glove. sorry spc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shaft has more play in it than spc's dingaling in a thumb of a glove. sorry spc! Guess it's a good thing I took it down to Motive to do one final once over. In addition to fixing a steering/suspension nonsense that I messed up trying to do an axle job on an eight year old New England car, he probably just saved me a shortblock and turbo, not to mention a nightmare dyno scenario. Perhaps I might bring my car and my business back to Alberto in the future. Guess it's all down to this wastegate/exhaust housing issue. (J/k, I am sold on Alberto's expertise and Motive's services in general. Thanks Motive Auto.) And thanks again Sigmafour for the donor turbo. Missed out on that built motah by that much. But boy would I have paid for it with the wife. Oh well, there's always still that chance right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
