Ohio Tuning shops

[peajay]

Anyone know anywhere in Ohio that can decently tune a very mild everyday driven MSP? I work 8-5 everyway and somedays am gone from 8am-11pm for school as well.
anything that fits this criteria. Mabe more options than slomo?(confused)

As far as I know Akron Horsepower will work with Mazdas. I have a few friends that have taken cars there for tunings. I know they do Fords and Hondas. The place is about 2 hours from Columbus. I'm pretty sure the prices aren't bad for a tune.

Hmm, possibility, Im reduiculously picky and need to find a shop that will let me be right there with them in their face and seeing exactly what they are setting my car at.

Why would you say anything but slowmotion, I know corey personaly and he is a really good guy. When I have my MSP he did some work or me, Granted they do mostly honda's but they takecare of every car that comes in there as there own. Just make sure corey himself does the tunning.........

Well in all honestly i've seen some majorly messed up cars come out of slomo. They are nice people and i know s*** happens. however i also like having my options. The last time i checked their hours were completly uncompatable with mine and they werent open on saturday....i dunno maybe they would come in on a sat. to do a tune, but i wanted to exhaust my other options before i asked that of someone.
However, ohio blows and so far i have nothing good to say about any of our 'tuning shops'. First reason being that trying to find any kind of parts around here is impossible. JEGS is not really the store for our kind, auto exotica is all bling, auto assets doesnt even do unichip tunes anymore and really thats all i can find other than slomo that doesnt have all that large of an inventory either. Auto Exotica never even called me back after the guy specifically told me he would to set up a time to tune after he got ahold of his tuner and found out his schedule.
So honestly, im really pissed. This state blows for anyone who is into cars. God forbid anything at all breaks on my car, i cant even get OE parts should i need them. Everything is online and at least a day or two away.
GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
PJ is FRUSTRATED at the whole damn situation. Someone give me $2K so i can buy the program myself and do my own damn tunes!(bang)

After living here all my life, all I can say is AMEN! Summit Racing is literally 10 minutes up the street from me, and they have a decent selection for import cars. Imagine what troubles me and my dad had when we were working on the Alfa Romeo Milano (sold, unfortunately) and the Lancia Zagato (also gone). Nothing like driving cars that are one of 250 ever imported to the states.

Le sigh.......
It's just difficult. see you kinda knew you were gettting into it with cars that rare ...i thought i was getting a mazda...ya know like all the other mazdas that drive around. i can't even get stuff same day from the mazda dealer or hell even through my work (i work at a ford dealership). It just makes situations unnecessary. I went through soooooo much hassle trying to get all the vacuum lines for my unichip. i had to finally go to lowes and they had a very limited selection but still more/better than any of the 'car' places around me.
and now i cant even get someone to give me hand on tuning. i work m-f7:30-5 have school monday nights till 11pm work every other saturday till 3 and still have to have time to eat sleep and do my massive amounts of homework for the mechanical engeneering class im taking. like i said...le sigh
/rant(blah)

With those Italian cars...you just don't mod them...and you learn the fine art of rebuilding EVERYTHING. My Civic is like the small block Chevy of the Import world. Everyone makes something for it, and 9 times out of 10, the parts don't do s***. We're actually lucky with the Mazda...the parts that are made for it (if you can find them) are actually worth while.

Oh, and I feel ya on the engineering homework. I graduated last may with my bachelors in Electrical Engineering...
