    Is a custom ECU tune better than a pre-packaged ECU tune?

    I did a custom tune before.. bought a programmer reflash oem chip. then if i needed service at dealership I would reload a saved image of my oem settings.. apparently it didn't leave a trace. I never had the dealership say anything to me. Took about 5 mins to load custom tune or one of several...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    I agree with your thoughts on this subject. My thoughts are.. 400HP -- 10 years ago was considered supercar territory. How many ferraris and other exotics had only around 400HP? Quite a few! When I was a teenager and in my early 20's a sports car was considered to be 200HP to 300HP There wasn't...

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    Detail as in fixing your own tiny stone chips. Very simple to do and with great results. Just takes some time and very little $$ compared to $10k canadian for full ppf. A. See stone chip? B. Clean and wash area and remove previous waxes and coatings with solvent. C. Apply primer and then take...

    Am I an idiot if I skip PPF?

    I'm not rich, so not spending $5k to $10k for ppf. Ill ceramic coat it myself and get the best. If i do get the odd stone chip.. then I will touch it up and water sand etc myself. Worst case scenario take it to a professional to fix if needed. I've never had more than a chip or two happen in...

    Canadian Allocations

    Thanks. Any info or thoughts are greatly appreciated. What I don't get is when I see posters on Facebook etc say that they were told (about 2 months ago) that if they put in an order today they should have it within a year or some say max 18 months. That's about as long as I still have to wait...

    French English labels airbags and at mirror on visors. Importing new cars from the USA that are sold in Canada isn't possible I believe and they have to he a few years old and retrofitted according to transport Canada.. eg daytime running lights and other things like speedo

    So far yes the USA side it appears that way. There appears to be more consistency on the Canadian side. Plus this guy ordered from the same dealership so I would be able to figure out certain things.

    Everyone's Mod Priority List

    Pretty sure you would need to know the federal torque requirements for the seat belt bolts etc if removing them. This is a critical operation in the plant and a quality safety item.
