Last I heard the Neetronic Dyno was broken. He only uses it to run air/fuel runs for tuning but does not get any power figures???

Last time I was there (July of last year), He was dynoing a car. So dunno.

I talked to him, seems like a good guy.
As for pricing, remember he has a business to run.

Naw his dyno is running as far as I know. He's not the only one with a 4 wheel dyno, but one of a small few shops in Ontario.

Paul that's sick. Metalix always has a bunch of crazy cars around their shop. I remember seeing that older Audi A8 (maybe it was an S8) on the hoist. I heard that thing is pushing a crazy amount of power.

I want one of the junkers laying around there. Last time I saw some oldschool Corollas, and a Celica All-Trac. Hood me up on a project beater. You always get the good deals hehe.

deviant1: Not to be an ***, but what do you base your comment on? Do you have a shop? Do you have a dyno? Are you trained in any way to build up cars? Not trying to be a *****, I'm just curious to know.

Yeah, sure...the rollers are rolling but as far as it working...I've heard otherwise. He basically just gets cars up on there to do wideband tuning runs (similer to running it on the street, but he can stay in the shop)

Riiiiight! Talk to someone who's done it... and done it right. You can do it for $2000 if you don't mind putting junk on your car, but if you like your car you won't do that.
