Just made a new purchase of a CA 1200 Ute and was wondering if any of the Canberra Guys on here can recommend a workshop to tune and eventually modify a CA18det 1200 ute.

My Cars currently at Integra Automotive (seem quite helpful) getting a few essentials but i want to get a full tune ad service in a couple of weeks.

Cheers
Frank

ps. now im am looking forward to another cruise my two A12 sedans arn't quite as fun to drive...

Give glen at ESP racing a go he has tuned a few of my cars very well.Quote:

hay mate give intune a call ben can fourfill all your needs

I have mates that have dealt with Jake at jake's Performance numerous times. He knows his sh*t and is a good guy too.

He is located at 6 Winchcombe Court in Mitchell.

Hope he is able to help you out as i know he is in popular demand.

P.S.
Im guessing your avatar pic is not a photo of you... Lol!

i thought jakes performance closed down ages ago???

Jake is still working, Jake's and Custom Mechanix I believe combined to form National Automotive. Unless you have a holden/chev v8, I wouldnt go there.

I take my cars to Autotech services, never had a problem, but I think any of the places mentioned would be able to do it. Whats wrong with integra? (my mate saw the ute there today and said it looks schmik!)

i have herd nothing but good things bout jake,
he tuned a bloke i knows vl turbo,
done a good job on it from what i hear, very clever bloke,

Nice one. Can we have some details on it!

If you don't find anyone that you trust for the tune in Canberra don't forget Sydney is just down the road and there's heaps of workshops there

I might make a few calls, integra seems good at the moment but always want to explore my options...have heard good things about jakes although also that he is flat out...not too keen to go to sydney the drive down in the car was so so boring and its going to be my daily

Just to clear a couple things up No thats not me in the Avator...probaly should change it but shes just so damn hot...

Utes running CA18DET TO3 garret turbo/TO4 compressor wheel, frontmount intercooler, 4" mandrel bent exhaust from turbo, 3 1/2" from cat, R30 box, hilux diff 4-3-1, 4 link rear, R30 front disks, adjustable tramp bars, EMS Dual sport computer.

Should keep me amused for a whiile:)
