look, i never asked for the real thing. i said i was gonna just buy one from jason. then he wrote me a email and said he would exchange it. i NEVER asked for any free parts. I AM a high school student, and i Dont have money, the money i got for this chip, was from selling the wheels, some engine components, stock injectors and chips that came with the car when i purchased it, and from a insurance claim when i got rear ended. i fixed my car myself, and had a little bit of money left over, and jason (white) was nice enough to sell me his injectors and chip to use on my car, since im in the same club as he is, and he was upgrading. i had no idea, once again. I DO have to spend my money wisely, when i do have it, and of course, that would mean searching for the BEST deal on parts that i can find. if that means waiting for a while before i get the parts, then thats what i have to do, and USUALLY everything turns out fine, and im happy, because i had been making money off parts i sold, and in turn buying new parts, with no overall budget increase. lets see, i sold my original GN wheels that were on the car, for over 200 bucks, and then, found 2 in a warehouse in birmingham, with original tires on them, for 35 bucks. then, i got 2 more at the nationals for 50, because they had surface rust. i polished off the rust, and now i have a full set of wheels AND tires for 85 bucks, instead of 200. i use the rest of the money to fix things that need fix the air conditioning, and then the rest goes to pay for the fun parts. If i had to purchase BRAND NEW "real parts", well, that means i wont get any parts. things are just plain expensive. i am very fortunate for what i have, and i am very happy with the fact that i have made it a nicer car, and faster car, for as cheap as possible. There is some merit there. anyone can go out and buy a crapload of parts from some vendor, bolt em on, and go fast, but its not as easy when you dont have the $$$$.
T"""""hat deserves a "bull$hit" thrown on it...Buy the real stuff and quit beggin the parts... """"""
???? i never asked for any parts, i merely asked for help in tuning WHAT I HAVE available to me. I cant just say, "oh, well, 350 bucks, thats not that bad, ill send a check in and ill be up and running by the end of the week", i gotta say, "well, i screwed up again, now how can i make what i have work for me, until i can save up enough money to buy a chip" then, i have to ask you guys, because you are the best help i have. you have so many answers, and you have so much experience, there really isnt anywhere else to turn.
ElevensecGN, the problem i have in buying and selling crap, is this. I am too trusting. i figure, this guy is selling a power plate on ebay, and its 11 bucks cheaper, im gonna bid on it, i win, and then i find that its fake AFTER i bought it. i never questioned him. i would never question any of you either. i sold a set of GTA wheels, that i polished and painted black for my car, but didnt wanna use spacers. i got them for under 200 bucks with tires, and sold em to a guy by the name of Jay Johnson, in texas, for 100 less than my asking price, and him pay shipping, he said send it ASAP, because he was in the military, and that he would send a check out. I sent em to him, express delivery, after i spend countless hours polishing so he would be pleased with what he recieved. well, 110 bucks for shipping, and then, he closes his phone line, moves out of the apartment, and i never hear from him again. lost the money. i realized i messed up, but i still trust people. i trusted that the power plate was real, and i trusted that the max effort chip was real, ESPECIALLY when it came from jason, . he is a GREAT GUY!!! i can only hope that i ever become as good as he is with these cars.
As i said, I am not asking for parts, i never have asked or "begged" for free parts, i merely asked for help on tuning what i have to deal with. i never asked for a new power plate, i just wanted to let everyone know not to buy a fake one, and that they were out there. i couldnt believe that. I did not mean for my "im a high school kid and am low on income" statements, to sound like i was begging or asking for sympathy, i was just stating my conditions. i know all of you were at that time in your life. please dont throw up any "bull$hit" flags on me.
now, if anyone has any advice on tuning this chip, as i originally asked, please let me know. this is all i asked.
Steve Y has been very helpfull as well, and i thank him for that.
Now, lets get back to turbobuick related conversations,
thanks guys
That was the same as the stock injectors.
