The previous owner said it hadn't but the exhaust shop I took it to today told me that it definately had cause there were no error messages being displayed after the O2 sensor had been moved. How do I know for sure without having to put it on the dyno to tell me?


well the last time i saw the car it wasnt tuned..

any more pics of the car and what mods it came with? :)

I don't have any more photo's at the moment, but no. Just exhaust, spring, air filter. Got a quote yesterday for a tune @ $2000. Obviously would prefer not to pay that if it had been tuned already, but mhe, if it hasn't, will have to put on my to do list.

You need to read your ROM and then compare it to some ones who you know is standard.

i am not sure who has the tactrix cable in Canberra.

Thanks mate.
Yep, $2k, it was for an MRT XA tune done by a dealer here in CBR. Don't know how much it's done by MRT themselves, but a chiptorque costs around $1k. Not sure of the difference in performance etc, but hey, that's where you guys come in I guess!

What can I say. Today, I'm totally gutted. I went to the garage to get the ol girl out this morning and noticed a massive scratch and dent on the rear bumber! It's huge! Some a$$hole scraped down the back of the car with theirs and left a few $$$ worth of damage. I haven't even had the car for a week yet. Gutted. I don't even know when or where it happened. SCUM!

That sucks. Do you have any pictures?

Did they dent the bar?

Did it go through the paint?

I'll post up tomorrow, yep, went through paint, but with some luck, I might be able to get away with the bar not being completely dented. We'll see.
