1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Napa is always awesome; their hours are crazy short though. Does yours close at 5 pm?

 

We have two within 5mi, the major warehouse one is open until 7p and the small town normal one is 5p, but I am friends with the small one's manager and he lives a block away. He's opened to grab things for me or stayed open 30mins later if i needed to run in.

 

Cleaning out some more stuff in storage, ran into my old SCT Tuner.

If it's locked onto a vehicle (that you no longer have) can't you send it in to SCT to get it unlocked for another vehicle?

Supposed to cost less than that of a new handheld.

Should give it away.

 

What was it for last?

 

2012 Ford Mustang

Had got it for the ex, but got rid of that car when ai bought her the 2016 Mustang

 

Was just under the impression SCT can load any of their tunes for any vehicle that they offer their canned tunes for.

More like they wipe it clean.

 

NY style pizza is my all time fave

 

Yes, they can unlock it. Lemme look there is a guy on FB that buys them locked

 

Well you can have it if you want/need

 

Thanks but I'm covered... I have a SCT X4


Are you familiar with the EzLynk? Nowadays that's what everyones running

 

Yup, as Italian as it gets to depending on where you go.

 

I'm not

Been out of the tuning game for awhile; just recently tossed a laptop I used exclusively for tuning my cars I found in storage.

Oh hi baitcaster

 

Last car l tuned was my Galant VR4 14 years ago.

 

EzLynk syncs to the cloud so your tuner can push the files to the device without having to take it and plug it into the computer. It provides livedata through the phone app which is also where you choose to flash the tune.

It's pretty cool. On the other hand, I don't want my tunes on the cloud in case the shop goes under and deletes them or there is a platform outage... which is why I kept the SCT X4 from my 6.0. Flash the tune and forget it

 

I've always wanted to drive one of those.

That and own an All Trac Celica; buddy had one years ago he offered to me for cheap but I never took him up on it.

 

Dude that's badass.

Yeah I tuned all my own stuff minus getting a base tune for the Focus ST with the larger turbo and getting tuned for E85.

Justin at Freektune is a beast as he tuned my ST for corn. He's huge in the mazdaspeed world and an awesome guy to deal with.

But yeah having a cloud for that must be stupid convenient.

 

It's one of the best road cars I've ever owned, wish I had kept it. All wheel drive and all wheel steer and a stout turbo setup.

 

did you take a class or just teach yourself? I've always wondered how people get into it.

 

Little bit self-taught and a lot of questions asked.

My tuning started with SRT-4 and Diablosport tuners.

The days of datalogging, watching fuel trims, ST and LT spark, knock, etc.

I started with bolt ons and went on to modify parameters and learned what to watch and how to read my WOT runs.

Next thing you know I'm running a bigger turbo and meth and tuning it myself. Had that car over 3-4 years so I had a lot of datalogging and tuning under my belt for that car.
