Default Thanks Chris.

Hey Chris, Just wanted to post up a thankyou for the time spent on the dyno on Thursday. You have gone beyond the call as always and I appriciate it. Ute feels smoother through the revs and snappier. Should be good for a 10th or so off the ol ET. I'll give you a call to find out about when the thermostats are comin in Monday. Thanks again.
Cheers
Glenn.

Didn't want to pile up your section with more threads so Just found the old thanks thread and added to it. SO:
Thanks again for ALL advise and ALL the work you have done to my ute. The custom tune done on Monday has made it fell that bit more lively/sharper and I can't wait to see how it performs down the strip. Thanks heaps.

Cheers
Glenn

Hey Chris,
Once again thanks for the prompt work on the ute with the Econ tune today. Ute runs fine with it and I can already see an improvement in the consumption with 140K's put on today and not even a 1/4 of a tank gone. needle has moved from 3/4's full when I left and use just over an 1/8.
Worth every penny and I expect it'll save me a few as well.

Cheers
Glenn

Is that a different tune to your Performance tune or Race Tune mate?

I'll be looking at Getting a 98 Performance and a 98 Economy tune in mine when it gets done if i have to i think, we'll worth doing with results like that.

Yes it is a different tune to the race tune. Chris runs the car up on the dyno under normal driving and tunes it accordingly. I'm sure there's more to it than that but that's the basics.

Cheers

Yep I've dug it up again to save on new threads.
BIG thanks to Chris, Theo and Sean for your work on my ute (AGAIN!) fixing the clutch that I managed to kill. As always top work and personal service. I really appriciated the updates the care taken and extra bits of attention on my pride and joy aswell as what you did on the ute! I also thank you in advance for all the work YOU WILL be doing in the future to save on countless thankyou's.

Cheers
Glenn

Probably, although I'm not going to race the ute to much anymore, it gets a little hard on it and the wallet. I'd like to say if I race I'll take it easy and just run for fun, but we all know thats B.S as I can't help but go balls out. So I'm toyin with the idea of buildin a dedicated drag car. Got all the stuff I need to get started available to me just need to sort out some SPARE cash and do it. Having said all that, YES you will probably find a silver BF XR8 ute with some nutty dude behind the wheel waitin for that last amber to flash up on the tree there in september.lol
You comin down?

Cheers
Glenn

Chris / Theo, thanks for your time on Tuseday. In that hour chatting about my BA Ute I learned more about getting some good power and drivability out of my car than the months of talking to different people (should have come to you first).

I should have the dollars sorted out very soon, will be in to get the blower and exhaust. Can't wait.

Theo and Chris,
Again thanks for getting me sorted super fast and top notch with the clutch last week. It's a lot more street friendly now cause I dont need to give it a good rev to avoid shudder or launching into the car in front of me. Yes Chris I can read your mind and I am behaving myself and bedding it fully in. Love ya work guys and I really do appriciate the extra mile you fellas go to for me to get things done and done right.
Cheers
Glenn
