Custom Tuning in the MD/DC/VA area

Lets see how much interest there is in custom tuning in the MD/DC/VA area. If theres enough interest maybe we can get one of the tuners out here for a tuning day

Thats 3 people in less than 3 hours that are interested and I personally know at least 2 or 3 local people that are looking for tuning as well. Lets see how many people we can get and then start seeing what tuners will step up to the plate

My car arrives Sat by truck. I'm afraid I have modified every car I have owned. From my 1983 GTI to my 996. I'm sure this car will be no different. I'm in!

Try Funktion Auto - www.funktionauto.com - they do a lot of Kleemann etc. Did my ECU, pulley, headers, and throttle body work. They also work on my Porsches. Great shop, great techs and a very good rep.

LET will come out for 4 new customers, rather than the usual 5.

We plan on being in the DC area on September 18-19; does that work for the interested parties?

GOD DAMN YOU, Wayne! I just wanted to enjoy my new toy, leave it alone and drive it like an old man. And here come with all your Ouija boards and ECU vodoo. PM me pricing on tuning for my SL600. DAMN YOU!


BTW, I'm poor now.

Guy's we can get Jeremy at PowerChip to make it up for a custom tuning trip. I know we had a few interested parties asking about it in another post so we would be more than happy to set that up for you guys out east!

Sorry 01bolt, didn't see any where in the original thread post that this was for an LET tuning date. Just saw interest in custom tuning so offered an alternative!

Maybe another weekend will work with LET I'm open to any weekend in September except 26/27th. I cant wait to get tuned and head back to the track! There seems to be enough interest to get them to come out

Thread hijack? Why don't you read the title before posting what you said? If LET would have started this post and showed specific interest in tuning in the DC area than that would be a thread hijack. Blackbenz asked a open question on which tuners would be interested in tuning in his area. Whether it's LET, Kleeman, Renntech, PC, or any other sponsor they would all have the right to post in this open thread.

Maybe you could point out where BB specifically asks for LET. Maybe you're under the impression that the first sponsor to post it will officially become their thread ???

"Lets see how much interest there is in custom tuning in the MD/DC/VA area. If theres enough interest maybe we can get one of the tuners out here for a tuning day "
Sorry Ahmad but I thought it seemed unfair for this guy to jump all over Fluidmotorsports for offering another option. Good luck choosing your tuner and I look forward to seeing your car dip low into the 10's .

My friend has a CL55 K with LET pulley and custom straight pipes. [Also awaiting install on Kleeman headers.] He is in need of a tune.

Nice, add another one to the list


So is LET definitely coming on the weekend of September 18-19th? Do we have to do anything to secure a tuning day? Looks like the interest is there to me
