DB Dyno Slot Needed!

So I am just finishing a 3 year build and DB says the next open slot they have is June 20th... This is a problem as Proving Grounds is before that! Anyone willing to sell a spot? I don't feel like street tuning it with a friend but may have to resort to that, can't miss PGs again!

Street tuning FTW!

well on 16G setups, everything else gets too sketchy.

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

Yea I'm running a DSM 76HTA so street tuning would be something interesting! Do you know if RS has experience with auto tuning?

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

Tuning is tuning, can't imagine auto makes any difference. That being said, I always go to Shane, but Ronnie would be a close second choice.

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

If it were me I'd start looking into other options as well. places I can think of that have AWD dynos that could be potential options are RS, Full Blown, & SM Speed to just name a few.

Ok thanks for the help guys, I will make a few calls tomorrow! Any one else have personal experience with any of the tuners other than Shane?

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

I think Ronnie tuned someone's auto car on here. Think it was sleeps old dsm. The new owner auto swapped it and lots of other goodies. I don't remember his name. But if Shane busy I would go to ronnie

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

Yep Ron has tuned my car a few times over the years and I have been pleased with the results. I use ecmlink, and I know he is familiar with that. I would make sure to check your tune at the track as well though. I have noticed a change in AFR at the track compared to the dyno log with the auto in my car.

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

I thought there was a guy on one of the mitsu facebook groups looking to swap out dyno slots but I can't remember. Maybe post on the DB facebook page or some car groups on the facebook since most people these days seem to use fb more than forums.

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

I checked on DB's FB page and did not see anything about someone wanting to swap a dyne day. If anyone knows of someone who is looking to swap or get out of their slot, let me know!

So Ron is the tuner at RS Performance?

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

Ron is pretty baked up as well..especially with race season here now..he tracks that evo a lot. Last response was him requesting vehicles to be dropped off and tune session will be completed as he has time through out the day. I was almost gonna buy a spot at DB as well but that whole deposit deal left a bad taste in my mouth...ill just street tune my own, and try to send shane a map to maybe glance over...that may always be an option for you as well?

3-5 a week cars don't show up so the result of that is they require a deposit.

Well if someone needs to get out of their deposit, I am willing to buy the deposit spot from them so they do not lose any $$$!

Re: DB Dyno Slot Needed!

I asked DB about putting my name on a list incase anyone cancels but said they do not do that anymore as the deposit has stopped people from canceling last minute. Wouldn't hurt to post it up on their FB page and hopes someone checks there.

A deposit put a bad taste in your mouth? And you think shop will just look over your work to make sure you did it right? You do realize they are in the business to make money right? Not just out of the goodness of their hearts?
