superstreet is coming to neptunespeed today for an install project for an FD and will be published in there upcoming magazines. congrats neptunespeed!

 

Does he do Microtech?

 

^ yes he can

 

got an appointment for a tune tomarrow afternoon. Ill let you guys know after. Hope for the best...

 

got my car tuned. Very happy with the tune, car runs very smooth. His dyno wasnt properly working to see the hp #;s but he says its around 270. Maybe too conservative on the tune though with 10.8 A/F high end, but i can tell he knows what hes doing.

 

im glad you got it done! congrats on the tune =D

 

Well that's cool. I wonder if my poor beat up FD which is probably a legal resident inside of his shop by now will sneak its way into some photos?

 

haha hey i saw your car there before! lol

 

Is it the MB?

 

Cool, what did you have tuned? I was the first (on this thread at least) to have an Apexi tuned there (unless you count Atila's 0psi base a tune). XS Confirmed my oil leak was from the pan but they said the tune should never have been done with the leak. My map sensor was set to 2-bar instead of 3-bar. Since I did not have that problem when I left Neptunespeed and XS was able to fix it, then it's fair for me to say I could have changed it accidedentally. The only way to tell for sure is to look at the map but with the oil leak XS won't put it on the dyno. They did tell me I was lean on idle and richened it with the commander. Anyhow, don't take my comments as positive or negative. I'm only telling my experience since no one else had tuned with them using the PFC before me. Moreover, ArmenMaxx is confirming what they told me about their dyno not loading properly.

 

No it's the BBB auto with the 16" kouki JDM wheels.

(Yeah, I know ... auto ... but the car blue books for way more now than it did when I bought it in 99 ... running, of course. I'll swap it next time I tear it up.)

 

DK i think your car is there sitting next to mine

 

Ahh I remember your car! You require a rebuild, right? You have a very nice car!

Yours is ahead of mine (and should be done soon, right?). My apex seals are seized from storage so after your car is done they're going to take my motor out and try to free them through the exhaust ports.

 

redat i saw your car also their, sitting with no motor. If looks very nice. Dk i also saw your car. Looked like themotor was ready to come out when i saw it. It was also very dusty lol.

I got my car tuned at 11- 12 psi. stock twins, dp,hfc,cb with PFC. Yoshiya said my cars turbos had been the smoothest and quickest spooling stock turbos hes seen. Made me feel very happy. Everything went good tho. i had a compression sheet from couple months ago so he didnt do a compression. I dont know why the dyno display thing wasnt working, but he said i can come in for a free power test run.

 

Yeah the poor thing is a mess ... dusty and little parts all over the engine bay are rusty! That was the first thing that Yoshiya said when he popped the hood -- "it's rusty!" It's been in storage under a carport at my parents' house in western NC for 4 years. I just shipped it out here in February, which I went to NC for a week to do. There was only so much cleaning I could do to a non-running car in 20-30 degree snowy weather, and I had other mechanical work that I needed to do to it as well. I didn't keep it covered there because it's a damp environment and it was subject to mold.

Sadly, it was very clean after I did the motor install. I'm just glad to have it in SoCal where it'll stop rusting and decaying.

 

i used to live in mD, and it did get disgustingly humid their. I didnt have a car their cause i was 15 when i moved here. But rust was everywere in the east coast. hated it.

 

haha i've seen all you cars there. sometimes i wish i had a FD =T haha or FC lol

 

Sorry guys, haven't had my PowerFC tuned like I had said. Instead I'll be bringing my FD to Yoshi's to treat a boost leak and have a few small brake upgrades done. If my boost leak issue isn't too bad, perhaps I too will get a PFC tune.

FWIW, it's good to see a variety of views regarding Yoshi's work. It may sound insane, but I think if all someone received were great reviews, I'd get suspicious, because let's face it, no one is perfect. When mistakes occur, you would have to look at what a mechanic is willing to do to make things right. That, I have no doubt is a strength of Yoshi's, because he's honest and sincere. He's been the only mechanic to give me a refund because he overcharged me (figured the tax wrong), and will probably be the only mechanic to do so.

I better give him a call tomorrow to make sure I can get my car worked on...it sounds like some of you guys are ahead of me.

 

your absolutely right. it would be sketch if it was just all great reveiws, noones perfect, and just like you said, yoshiya's one of the most honest and nicest guy you'll ever meet thats a tuner and mechanic and will do anything to keep the customer happy.

 

I'm very thankful for this thread helping me find someone that I'm comfortable with taking my car to. I've done all of the work on my car, and the only time that I left it to a shop I got it back stripped (when I was in college and needed the motor changed ... I didn't have the place to do it at school). Unfortunately, I don't have the facility to do heavy work on my car here in Los Angeles, so I had to send it to someone to figure out why it wouldn't start. I've posted this before, but I narrowed everything down to R&R as the shop that I could trust but they didn't return my phone messages, so I decided to give Neptune Speed a call.

I feel completely at ease with them. I could not ask for a better situation. I know they won't rip me off and that they actually care about me and my car. He just started the shop so he has everything to lose. I'm proud to be one of their first customers and it's going to be great to hold that position in years to come when they're much more established and successful. Thank you, TR1GGERx1, for starting this thread.

Anyone know who owns the rotary panda AE86 that I saw there a couple of weeks ago? Yosuke said it belonged to a friend of his and had a boost leak. ******* sweet car, though.

 

anytime DK haha. thats actually my friends car. his names eric. i think he might be on the boards. but he doesnt check quite often. he also owns a s2k wut he drives as a daily so yea. his AE86 is pretty sweet =D haha

 

And now, here are some ***** ...
