DTM Brian Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 It is only the beginning of January and I have had my fill. This will be the first winter where I am not working a job. The beginning of December to the end of February is VERY slow for me at the shop. I am sure it does not come as a suprise. I need something to do.. I keep telling myself to join a gym. However my fear is I will want to give up in the spring when the shop gets busy. I thought about trying to become a volunteer at a hospital but then I am afraid of getting sick. Just a couple years ago I was working 40+ hours at a job and running the dyno. I did not have time to do anything I wanted to do. Now I have plenty of time for the business during the spring, summer, and fall. I was thinking back in October how I was so ready for a break. Well I have enough of a break. I have had about as much of my house and puppies that I can take. Sorry for the rant. I am just dying of boredom. This is company I share in my house. At least they do not get tired of talking to me.

ohdaho Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 If youre working hard during the riding season...right now would be a good time to travel. Take a vacation or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 If youre working hard during the riding season...right now would be a good time to travel. Take a vacation or something.I have been talking with a guy in Australia to come and do some tuning on V6 Holden's. I guess not many shops tune the factory pcm's there. This would be right up my alley based on the GM V6 FWD tuning I have done. I guess $2,000.00 is the going price for a tune. Hmm. Maybe I will bring me back an Aussie Hottie.

max power Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 They are brother and sister. Half Yorkie/Pom.Perfect! Arent all those things in-bred as hell anyway? I second the travel idea. If I had the $, I'd get the hell out of here for a while, and if you can make some cash in the process, its a nice write off for the biz.

We got it as good as we can by street driving, he might be interested in having it tuned on the dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin0469 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 maybe if you could pick up bikes to tune, some ppl would be down. some ppl might want it done but cant get their bike there dunno about transportation costs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends has a Civic with a turbo'd H23 in it, running a Hondata S300. We got it as good as we can by street driving, he might be interested in having it tuned on the dyno.Pretty sure they run what is essentially a 3.8L S/C V6 just like the GTP, etc. Except in a RWD platform. $2,000 for a tune?! Man, the V6 guys are getting ripped. Brian, what exactly do you do for the $150? I'm looking to get the Ape tuned with the PCIII Serial I just put on. Unfortunately it also needs the cylinders balanced and after reading through the manual it seems I need a wideband or at least a sniffer to balance the cylinders properly. So she needs balanced and tuned as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
