I got tuned by Automaster AMR in Mamaroneck, tune sucked. Got retuned at Akuma, much happier

MSP. No mods yet. Slowly buying parts. Haven't decided on a ems yet, but just want a tuner handy before i go in. HOw much did your tune cost you? and what was the turnaround time?

It depends on the car, level of mods, and what your doing. For example. My MS3 got a protune for the Cobb AP, ~500, could be on the dyno getting tweaked for an hour or a week, same price. The turnaround time is different for every car. When you start tuning, issues may come up, so its hard to say.

Know anyone that can tune a haltech?

we have a thread on m3f in the northeast region. look for the d3ny thread

one rule:

no driving/acting like a douche vw was thrown out months ago and we dont want the same to happen to us

i've got a great mechanic in Brooklyn. Dirt cheap too. Let me know if you want the address or number.

hey goku what are you looking for, a tuning shop or a mechanic? harrison's post just made me realize you didnt say what you need a shop for.

 

[goku4658]

Either one. I have a lead on a mechanic, but it never hurts to know more than one reliable mechanic.

As far as performance shops, I haven't heard of any good reputable ones, but there's also not alot of info online. All I could find was Cosmo and Initial D, which I've read bad reviews for.

I'm a jersey boy, haven't spent too much time on the New York page. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Either way, I don't think I'll be showing my car off, until I get some of these nagging issues fixed.

As far as tuning i would highly recommend akuma, ive herd good things about mspt but i dont know of them or anyone whose running their tune. Akuma is owned by john shafer from cobb/precision tuning. I dont know how competitive their mechanical prices are, but their tunes are great. they have a full time fabricator on site so im sure they can make/install anything you need.

Do you mind going to china town? My guy most of the time only charges me $30 bucks an hour or on good days, only for parts.

I suggest Tarmac Motorsports. Very smart, hard working people there. If you google "Tarmac Motorsports", they should be the first link for you. Give them a call, they're out of Farmingdale.

Good Luck.

If he's reliable, knowledgeable and reputable, chinatown is reasonable.
