Cobb AP Tuning in Melbourne
Hi guys,
I thought I would post this up to give some other members information regarding Aus AP tuning. I just spoke with Tim from RX-8 Specialties in Melbourne. He is AP tuning the MPS platform (has done 5 or 6 so far), obviously has his own dyno etc, he is very well regarded on rx8 forums for those interested. He recently AP tuned a 3 mps with TIP and 175kw atw or there abouts and will be e85 tuning a mps next. He seems like a genuine guy and this could be good news for the Australian market looking for something other than an e-tune above OTS maps. Obviously the platform is very new to us so new tuners may receive criticism but I say give him a chance and see what happens. He already has some very happy customers and this looks like our first AP tuner for Australia.
Pricing, $100/hr (call to confirm) are his rates and this gives you dyno time obviously, depending on how long it takes for him to build you a map, anywhere from 2-5hrs etc. For those interested give him a call he is very informative.

Tim came to our port Melbourne meet - great guy to talk to - knows his stuff in a non condescending way. Sounds good!

It takes quite a bit of practice to master this platform. I've e-tuned or dyno tuned over 50 Mazdaspeeds/MPS and continue to learn something new or Cobb changes the logic or adds a new table every week.
That being said I'm sure they will get there eventually.

They have tuned a few MPS's and have used the AccessPort before. I've spoken at length to Tim about it before. Stand up guy and knows his stuff. Comes along to a few of our meets and answers plenty of questions. Just don't talk his ear off all day, share the love :-P
My personal opinion is this is the best of both worlds. Ap and a dyno based real time tune.
If i wasn't thinking of selling up in the next few months I'd give it a go.. But the missus would kill me spending more money on it lol

Tim has used it before... He tunes cars for a living as well and I'm sure there are more elaborate devices out there for different applications. This isn't msf... Vendors don't get to go around pooping on everyone lol.
