4 Wheel Slide - Review
Due to complications with another tuner (whom shall remain nameless because I didn't really have any issues with him just wasn't happy with communication modes etc.)
A little back ground on my vehicle: I purchased this IX from a dealership off EvoM and it came with everything provided by RRE including a tune from Scott Grey. On my way home with it (to Colorado from California), I threw a lot of misfire codes and upwards of 20+ counts of knock. The car came with Scott's highly "needed" Greddy 720cc injectors (why he emphasizes the need for these on a bolt on Evo is beyond me but whatever). RRE's turbo back exhaust, MBC and Apexi intake.
I then chose to do all new hard piping, 3" FMIC and intake from ETS. I also installed a Megan 3" downpipe to ETS open flow exhaust. Doing these mods allowed the vehicle to breath better but also to run lean in the range of 12.5-12.6. I chose to then go back to stock evo injectors instead of messing around with scaling these pointless 720's. Car idled much better after I implemented the stock latency and scaling.
I decided to seek the services of a fairly new vendor. This vendor goes by the name 4 Wheel Slide. His reviews proved to me that he knew what he was doing and would look out for my best interest when tuning my car.
He got right onto the map, sent his base map for my mods within 2 hours. I was out and logging within 30 mins. His BASEMAP was spot on!! 11.5 all the way through and the car just picked up and took off like a bat out of hell. I could not believe what I got myself into when buying an Evo.
I am now on my 3rd map and just doing fine tuning at this point. I was leaving a gas station the other night and didn't notice a semi hauling *** behind me so I mashed the gas in first which was a very BAD idea as the car just up and took off. I am not used to this for 2 reasons. 1) I had a 500whp SR20 FWD car before the evo and I would have lag with the gt30r and spin city with the fwd. 2) I didn't expect the evo's turbo to kick my *** in first gear like that.
The point of this thread is to HIGHLY recommend Tamer aka 4WS aka **** Star as a tuner. His dedication to making sure you get the most out of your mods safely and efficiently AND in a timely manner are phenomenal. He is ALWAYS available through e-mail and/or AIM at any given time. (God forbid you get a hold of him during one of his **** sessions, then you won't be a good customer
)
If anyone has doubts/questions/concerns about 4WS's services, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me and I'll be more than happy to talk with you before you enlist his services.
Again, I highly recommend 4WS for tuning services.
