Talking I Knew it!

Heres a little story if anyones bored...

After spending a good $600+ on getting my car serviced and tuned on two occasions through a family friend mechanic i thought my car was still running a bit sluggish and wasn't all it could be, so I decided to do as much research i could into how a 2litre pinto should run and the more i read the more dissapointed i was with the performance of my car. Don't get me wrong, once the car got its groove on it went awesome but especially when changing up gears and in low revs the car was very unresponsive which to me felt like it was running very rich and sluggish.

Here i am at a cross-road, consider upgrading to a "more reliable" efi skyline turbo which is almost guaranteed to be fast and put a smile on my face or risk spending more to get the eski running right....decisions decisions.

One last chance, went to Racetune here in Perth and just said 'Here's my car, just make it run right'

Came back in the afternoon (today) and oh my god does the car run WIKID!!!!

Screw upgrading to a skyline was the first thing i said, i have found a new love for my escort. Racetune messed around with a few things like mixtures and the distributor etc. The car is just so responsive now and feels a good 2 times faster. This is the best part now, all up came to $49!!!

I honestly can't wait to get a new manifold and some twin side-draughts for my car now, and i know exactly where i will be taking it to have it tuned... RACETUNE!

PS: Sorry to anyone who i said i was CONSIDERING selling my car, I am definately keeping it now :
