DB Dyno Slot Needed!

Boomdeeze · 04-28-2016

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!

Try RS?

Street tuning FTW!

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

Boomdeeze · 04-28-2016

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

**Goat Blower** · 04-28-2016

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.

**Halon** · 04-28-2016

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?

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

^x2.
Both are great and have experience with Link on Auto cars.

Yea Ron tuned Wade's 1g (Kevin's old car)

mondale · 04-29-2016

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.

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.

Boomdeeze · 04-29-2016

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?

93gtpeater · 04-29-2016

I believe so

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 $$$!

Yeah i heard the story, i got my car tuned twice just last year...3 if you include the Subaru. Did i ever have to pay a personal deposit no. The reasoning or explanation was odd and changed from the initial reasoning given in 2015 which was the above mentioned reason.

Not only that but i guess its been going on for 3+ years anyways No point in talking much beyond that. Shane has always been cool about sharing some advice on my builds including the new build for this year, i have no complaints about the arrangement myself ...what i did have an issue with or what left a bad taste in my mouth was the fact i was made out to be one of the flakers and or people ruining business... i mean in the ladies defense she maybe had no way of knowing i have been there more then a few times. My suggestion would be to just not assume everyone will be like the bad sheep, or take a very negative tone.

You either do all or none, most businesses are not going to pick and choose and have a special treatment list. If they have anyone back out on tuning time, that means they lose money for the day that they can't get back. Having everyone put a deposit down is just beneficial for business and ensures they don't lose other potential customers that will show up.

I understand the concept. I dont think i asked for special treatment, but i guess the way i have been previously received by db would classify to you as special treatment. I just wanted to clarify as a business you dont want to make a customer feel like they are part of a problem they have nothing to do with, or did nothing to contribute to.
