If they do what is right (and fair) they will pay for the tune as well as some other things they are as of yet unaware.
I am not going to bash the company, he did what he could do. He bit off more than he could chew and I believe he has realized that and will make things right which to me shows a lot of character and a company that I could still stand behind. Rest assured whatever the outcome it will be on here.

Now on to more fun things. I wish the sun was out today so that the paint could "pop" like it does in the sun but it was overcast so this is the best I can do for now. I had the car clayed, buffed and waxed then ceramic coated. Its smooth as silk but still has some minor flaws that need to be addressed which I will get into at a further date.
As for now shes looking damn fine!

Very sorry to hear your tales of woe I have been following you from the inception.
You are a very patient man and I take my hat off to you.
I have a 216 63 5.5 Bi-Turbo and have had just a Re-Map by a company in the UK MSL ( Birmingham ) The result being 700bhp and 850 lb/ft torque Which took three hours to complete !! After which I had to have a Quaife fitted !! I appreciate what you are trying to achieve and wish you every success .

Not as of yet. Things are being worked on. I am awaiting it to be done before I contact SpeeDriven to see how we want to handle this.

Cool. EC did a good job waking my car up and getting the most out of it for the mods that were done. And I concur, they have great CS. I'm anxious to hear what they can do to your v12. Hope it's the monster that you, after all you've done, richly deserve.

i have the same car and year as you (minus all the work). i bought a simple off the shelf tune and downpipes from SD. downpipes didnt fit on arrival. got that sorted out after haggling. put the ecu in and car was extremely erratic at idle and had less power than the aerostar my parent drove when i was a kid. SD had me send ecu back for "re-flashing" because according to them my ECU has different maps they werent familiar with (wish i had known that before i ordered their tune). bottom line, i assume they flashed it back to stock. CEL light still on because downpipes removed primary cats. car makes **** power. gonna have to figure it out. Jerry assures me he can get it sorted. gotta take it to EC in orlando and tune it on dyno, but so annoyed at the games that i dont even want to deal with it and im only $5k in. youre a better man than me. wish someone would figure out these w216's. car is sexy. good luck on your end.

I just read this whole thread from start to finish. I will say that I heard about the same such problems with SpeeDriven many years ago ... it's a wonder they are still in business. I have used Eurocharged before and have generally been pleased with them. As with everyone else, I'm curious to find out what numbers the car puts down.

I hope Eurocharged gets it done tomorrow so I can get the tires on it Friday morning and still use my reservations in Houston.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope it works out. Been there done that with mods that didn't. Modding is fun when it works and expensive with no returns when it doesn't.

So car is not done and wont be. Foolish me for thinking 11 months was ample time to have a car ready for 2k17. I am very upset about it and angry at many people. On the other hand TX2K17 has turned into a **** storm and people are getting busted left and right. Cars with no front plate and drag radials are being impounded. Granted its the Camaros, Mustangs, EVOs, and STis and they seem to be lettingthe Lambos, Porshces and Benz cars go. Dunno if its because what they are doing they know is wrong and that we have the money to go after them where as the other cars owners will just be happy to get there cars back or what but they have cracked down big time this year and have several under cover cars making nearly 1000 HP.

I am sorry, I wrote "drag radials" and you read "slicks". Thats what the cops are doing as well it seems.

They're impounding cars late at night, close to long stretches of empty highways, if you know what I mean.
