I think that people who say "the car just got a tune up" generally have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

Car looks like shit, I would rather buy a stock one.

Sad that someone goes to the extreme of ruining a beautiful machine!
 
The other one that always gets me is this:

First off, obviously this guy is on drugs. Second off, anyone who lists a K&N filter as the first mod in the list chances are the rest of the mods are pretty useless.

I am by no means hating on K&N or the people using them, but the filters are more of a maintenance item rather than a mod...
 
Thank god he is "going back to school". He needs to get off drugs and get hooked on phonics!! One would think with all the technology kids have access to, a spell check would automatically kick in. Nothing worse than a typo after typo together with bad grammar. Ugh
 
Who the one that switched their carbon fiber vinyl to brushed aluminum?
I think it was their interior wrap?
 
Zebra changed all his carbon fiber vinyl on the outside of his fx to black brushed aluminum

What is the stock trailer hitch class on the 2008 qx56? Its rated at 10000lbs towing and 1000 tongue weight, just not sure of the class.
 
Hey guys, quick (stupid) question here. I plan on getting a 5/16 plenum spacer, HFC, stillen z tube, and hopefully an exhaust by the end of the year and was just wondering if I send my ECU over to Teqnosquare does this eliminate the need of me physically going over to a dyno shop and having it tuned on the dyno and vice versa? The reason I ask this is because I have no idea of any reputable dyno shops around MA that are good with the VQ so if I chose the dyno route, I would have to find a place whereas if I could just send my ECU somewhere and just wait a few days and not have to, that could be better.
 
TS stopped doing tuning when Tadashi went back to Japan, so they are out. It's always better do a dyno tune though. UpRev has something where you run their software to datalog while driving, and they can tune it at their shop based on that. It would end up costing about the same though since you need to buy the Osiris-standard as well. http://uprev.com/secure/management/etune.html
 
Alright thanks you guys. So after I'm done with everything I just purchase the osiris uprev kit and get it tuned at a dyno location?
 
I would check with UpRev Osiris tuners to get an idea on price, you shouldn't have to pay any money to UpRev I don't think. But like you said, no tuners in MA.

Here's a map, but I don't know how up to date it is. Wouldn't hurt to call UpRev and ask if they have any tuners in MA who are new.
