Recommend a tuner on Bris northside

[VE8]

Update, car booked in for Monday next week at East Coast. Spoke to the owner Rob last week & he seems to be a nice guy. He sat me on the couch for 20min explaining the world of tuning to me & made me feel very confident in his abilities, it was more like a therapy session than a sales pitch lol. Will update again next week.

Hey guys new to the forums - I used to live in Brisbane and a few of the people I have used in the past on another car were:

Ramano racing - Bob Romano Auto Care & Performance Home - Bob Romano Auto Care & Performance
Mecury Motorsport - Mercury Motorsport | Performance Matters
CNJ Motorsport - Welcome to CNJ Motorsport

I can say I had good experiences with all of them but this was nearly 8 yrs ago now

Update, Car has been serviced & tuned at East Coast Customs today & all seems good so far. I haven't had a lot of time with the car yet but it definitely runs & drives better. Car has gone from 243rwkw to 262rwkw but don't notice it so much as it at the top of the rev range but can notice a sizeable difference in road manners which is one of the most important things I wanted out of this tune, it just feels smoother. I also haven't had enough time with it to see if the pinging has stopped but they replaced the spark plugs with NGK TR6 as the old ones were rooted & they believed the old plugs were causing the pinging. Cold start issues will be interesting too but I obviously haven't had time to see how that's gonna go yet. Anyway, so far so good & a cautious thumbs up for East Coast Customs & a personal thanks to Jake who serviced the car & put up with my questions & me annoying him all afternoon, Matt for the tune, & Rob for being good to deal with.
P.S. I refuse to join fotosuckit to post a pic of the dyno graph but if someone wants to pm me with their email I will gladly send them a pic to post for me. Thanks peeps.

Righto, have been driving around all morning & can honestly say the car has been transformed. I loooove it. I didn't have a lot of time with it yesterday so i drove it like i stole it but now iv'e had time to drive it sensibly i can't believe how much better it is & how much of a bastard it used to be to drive & No More Pinging Brilliant. Thank you East Coast Customs, I love my car again..

Thanks pirate, that graph tells the average punter bugger all really but looks can be deceiving, it don't look like much but it really is a big difference.

This is VE8's graph from East Coast Customs:

I honestly would be interested in seeing the tune itself......... Honestly to me that doesnt even look tuned. You could unlock the throttle and the torque and have the car lean out and get that result......... 5 minutes work.

Notice how both lines look virtually the same......... They shouldn't. Post your tune........ Please. Let us all see it for what it is.

So, in the end what did you pay for the tune?
