My take on COBB

RaihaX · 03-08-2012, 07:24 PM

the admin must have not liked it!

So when I loaded the beta stage1 aggressive map, the car would not boost past 4-6psi. Something is not right because the sports map works great. So I sent the log to cobb and Jason@ cobb emailed me back a revised map (v401

) rather quickly. Re-flashed the car and it's working fine now. The V4 maps are definitely smoother and more drivable.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you get your car dyno-tuned doesn't that mean you will lose your tune if you get a SW update? Also, if it's anything like the DMS tune it might be on the conservative side it's worthwhile checking that out too.

Also, I would think any new (significant) performance mods to the car would require a complete retune to get the most of it and to ensure it's running properly.

This is ideal for dontask's car that has the full blown works, RB turbos etc, and won't need any new performance mods anytime soon.

Super customer service from COBB as always

Well I wouldn't take my car to the dealer without reverting back to the stock map anyway. I am not quite sure how it would work if we get a SW update though.

And yes if you want to get every single performance gain from your new mod a dyno tuned would be best.

Once ATR (the free version of ATP for single user) is out though you can do all this for free if you are ballsy enough to play around the DME yourself

It is tempting as I'm always driving past Mercury Motorsport. They've got a few beasts in their workshop and I've seen some of their builds which are epic. I don't like being the guinea pig though lol

Neither do I, but when you are in perth you are forced to be a guinea pig most of the time

Yes that's true. Brisbane isn't a whole lot different mate but it is a bit better.

Btw, think I'll be in Perth for a couple days in July. Should catch up and take me for a spin so I can see your beast

There is no way that a stupid mod is going to ruin our chances of discounted COBB product and the ability to have Accesstuner Pro in Australia.

I would be editing this last post if you want to hang around... Just my 5c

Edit it to say what?
"I love the moderators on this forum, they act so fairly?"

Entirely up to you mate.... Just a heads up.. have been there in the past...

woosh · 03-08-2012, 11:17 PM

I agree with the guy. How was that different to the Dyno Day thread? Both are organising an event outside of the forum with non-vendors. Though if selling a COBB product ('at a discounted price') while not being a vendor is the issue here, then I can understand.

ansch · 03-09-2012, 12:12 AM

Kind of implies that there is an official vendor here that is a cobb reseller. And by promoting mercury, creates a competition

Does that mean you're the mystery person that has been alluded to here in the past, and it's now a "done" thing? (I hope so

)

Or am I reading too much into your comment?

RaihaX · 03-20-2012, 07:26 PM

I THINK MY POST HAS GONE ?

dont know why, as i wasent haven a go at anyone just pointing out the facts. As far as Cobb goes we are testing next week. And no Advan is not the mystery dealer.

Thanks for that - be interested to hear how you go with the Cobb, and any observations you might have regarding it's performance and suitability for the Oz market & Conditions.
