kangaroosa Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 This time i'm after a Automotive tuner that knows DCOE webers like the back of their hand. I had the Rotorolla tuned recently (at a Somerville workshop) and well.....i could have done a better job. Unfortunately the engineer is all booked in and the tow trucks are all paid for. So i'm anticipating it getting knocked back. So i'm getting things in order now to get it all sorted as quickly as possible. So if you know of a reputable workshop preferably in the SE Melb region, please post up the details here. Somewhere in Moorabbin would be awesome. Also if you know of a good exhaust place that does dB testing, post up the details here. Daalder in Dandenong is the only one I know of on this side of town. Quote
silverra23 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 Powerplay Automotive are very good apparently and are at Cheltenham - (03) 9584 7373 I have used Ace Carburettors in Clayton and he was also good. 03 9543 5686. Allegedly the best in town are Thornbury Carburettors.. and I have also heard of someone called Manni Motors, but I don't have any details of either of them. Hope that helps Quote
colonel Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 I know it's out of your way but I'll second Thornbury Carbs. He rebuilt my weber. Quote

Hope that helps Been to Ace - Never Again Mammi Motors fabricated my Rotary into my car. Had my car tuned there twice now. Not waiting for a 3rd strike. I'll pay Powerplay a visit next week. Its costing me a fortune in towing fee's as it is, so Thornbury isnt high on my list at the moment. Anyone been to Carby Better in Moorabbin? Quote

kangaroosa Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 Have you tried Rank Rotary?? Address: 59 Roberts Ave MULGRAVE VIC 3170 Melway Reference 79 J2 Phone: (03) 9558 4422 LB Yep $80/hr labour PLUS $120/hr Dyno Time PLUS Parts So its effectively $200/hr plus parts for a mechanic to drive my car on a dyno and change some jets. They may have a good reputation but i refuse to pay that. I had my 5K tuned up by them years ago when they were near Moorabbin Airport. Back then they were reasonable. When i dropped into their new workshop a few months back, it was full of early 20 y/olds dickin around with what i assume was a customer car. Either way, bouncing the car off the limiter....."Check it out Uleh".....is no way to get me to trust them with my car. Car gets inspected tommorrow, so I guess I'll get the good news that i have to quieten it down, and raise the car and tune it up as a bare minimum. Quote
