Another year has almost rolled by, and its time to start thinking about the Dragon! Mini’s on the Dragon 10 takes place this year on May 2 – May 6.
My last visit to Chad at Detroit Tuned discovered that Chakik is in need of a few replacement parts. Most notably new front control arm bushings. Powerflex MINI bushings were recommended.
Now I just need to stop buying steampunk stuff so I can afford them.
New wheels in place.
FINALLY a Detroit Tuned banner.
Tho I still want an all black one.
Pictures later, was watching the Detroit Red Wings beat Phoenix in NHL Hockey Playoffs.
Dragon, bring it.
Results of yesterdays Dyno Tune Party at Detroit Tuned. The Mynes guys were awesome!
I went in from Jan’s tune 2 years ago with : 207.5 / 170.1
Ended up with 208.3whp and 191.9 ft/lb of torque.
Its noticeably smoother across all RPMs I’m very happy with the results. And Chad fixed a rattle in my SC belt tensioner.
Wow, what a great day today was. Got the John Cooper Works wheel installed (albeit with tripping the air bag light), hung out at Detroit Tuned for the “clean up” party on a beautiful day, with old and new friends, then capped it off with the Red Wings 2-1 win over the Penguins to bring Lord Stanley one step closer to being home!
Thanks to everyone at the party today for being so friendly and welcoming to me and the dogs, and especially Chad and Tori for having us over! You ALL rock!
Just got back from a nice morning/afternoon at Detroit Tuned.
Added on a 15% supercharger pulley, 2% crank and the 5% alternator pulley. Also accidentally got a Milltek exhaust installed.
HOLY COW! Not only does it feel a lot faster, but the supercharger whine is crazy now, and the growl from the exhaust just adds to it. It’s going to be really hard not to redline Chakik to every shift now.
[For those of you keeping score, I went with the Alta V1 15% Reduction Pulley, and the Alta 2% Crank and ALTAnator units. The Milltek tips were blacked out as soon as we opened the box]
