Default I have now been functiontuned.

Well i finally took off the stillen s/c and installed the greddy twins myself with a little help from my tech after i got really pissed off at the lousy instructions.I had a small problem with the ic piping since the instructions sucked so bad,so i had to do a bit of redneck racing mod,s(if you must know just ask dave,he even laughed).
Mad prop,s to dave for getting my ic piping the way it should be and for tuning the car.I was scared to death driving this thing untuned for 90 miles to get to dave but i made it without ever hitting boost.Btw i passed dave with his car on a tow truck on the way down rt267 and didnt realize it was him.....his water pump blew up on his beater.
As usual ahn showed up and has a few pic,s and also how dave unfunctiontuned me.The numbers dont look that great because of dave,s heart breaker dyno but here they are on a 2003 g35 auto with stock cat,s and 2.5 borla td.At only 6 psi 327 rwhp and 328 rwt which i have been told by many that most other dyno,s would be 360 ish rwhp and about the same torque....also verified by dave.
The ride home was..................should i say nothing at all like the stillen.This **** pulls hard as **** compared to the stillen and does not let up and i never gave it more then half throttle.
All i have to say is anyone ever needs anything done just see dave,he is a very nice person to deal with and very professional about his business(except those shorts he was wearing).Again thanks dave cause i think im ready for 8 psi now and not 6 psi.

Default The Story of how Keith unFunc... I mean.. FunctionTUNED his car + his.... Brakes!

I showed up at Function right when they were finishing up Keith's rice rocket. Mad props for installing your own turbos!

Keith: "Oh great, here he goes with the camera... and my car is filthy!"
Me: *Snap snap snap*

After Dave finished tuning on the dyno, he placed it on the lift and put Keith's (superchargedg... btw you need a new screen name!) front bumper back on in order to go on a road test. We found out that whoever put the bumper on in the first place did a hack job and Keith said he'd go back to pWn their butts. We see Dave pull out and minutes later he returns and confirms everything is running like it should. I then spot this mysterious plastic dangling thingamabobber hanging from the driver's side fender liner and point it out:

Me: "Whoa what is THAT!"
Keith: "Holy cow! The tire ate away at my fender liner! You forgot to push it in. I just got unFunctionTUNED!"
Me: *inspects it closer* "Naw man... that's a super customized brake duct cooler fender liner mod, and it's functional!"
Keith: "Awesome! Now i'll have cooler brakes on right hand turns!"
Dave: "Oh shoot! Lemmie pay for that, hahaha"
Keith: "It's all good man, you gave me a great deal and a $20 fender liner is nuttin!"

(Superricedg seen on left, Gooey Rice on the right)


(Driven1 on left, DaveFunctionTUNED on right)

This is the mod that scares all the Ferraris away, all he needs next is the duck call mod:

I'll advertise for Dave:
*aHeM* Here @ FunctionTUNED, we offer a FREE brake duct mod decreasing brake temps by 17 degrees, improved brake response, and longer pad life. Ideal for racing and track conditions, this will greatly enhance appearance, get girls, and add Functionality! What is pictured below is STRICTLY Custom and can only be obtained @ FunctionTUNED, do not attempt this at home:


With that all said and done, Keith still does not have an oil cooler, but I have to give him props for his brake duct cooler. Robbie (Driven1) and I were talking about how he'll immediately start a thread when he got home, and we were right, you couldn't resiiiiist suuucka!!!

Upon leaving the shop, his last words were:
"The first person I'm going after is Chaz (k3silk)!!!"
