I'm confused why it takes three people to set the wastegate....

At least you didn't send money for it....

Bobby. Pull the piston on the forge valve and check for scoring. If it's clean, wipe it down, regrease with a synthetic grease and reassemble. But if it's scored contact angle over at forge and have Him send you a new valve.

Will do, thanks

I know. I was returning the joke.

I used Lucas red grease

Oh ok. But yea, that noise is really annoying. I knew it was the Forge, but I didn't know how to get rid of it.

Why? Don't like the farting sound either?

OMFG!!! I was making a joke about you coming and jerking me off, but THAT'S what that sound is????

EDIT: What did you use to lube it?

But just so we're clear... Glenn Beck did totally kill that girl in 1990.

Please stay on-topic during your visit to the off-topic forum.

He most certainly is. There's obviously A LOT you don't know about Lucky. Ask him how he got his base tunes. Curious to hear his response.

I'm curious to there his response too. :lol:

You guys are doing the same thing as the "glenn beck killed a girl in 1990" just because hes not defending himself there must be something wrong and he knows it!!

I started this thread, because I saw many other similar threads pop on swedespeed. 99% of the people over at swedespeed have extremely large sticks in extremely uncomfortable places, and will b!tch about everything. I wanted to know if it's typical SS b!tching or if there is something going on with Lucky, BEFORE I ordered my tune.

Apparently, something *might* be going on. Might not too, but Lucky's response in this thread did not make me jump to order the tune through him. I'm now exploring other options for tunes.

What's the Forge CBV issue? Just curious because that's a move I plan on making in the near future w/ hopes of taking my car from sounding like a dishwasher whenever I decelerate, to more of a turbocharger releasing pressure. Plus, from the little bit I've read, they're better than the stock.

(Just FYI, the sound isn't an ARD issue, its because I have a Eurosport tuning CAI rather than the stock airbox)

This is getting into the "he-said, she-said" BS, which I was trying to stay out of but....

Apparently, reading through the older threads on SS, someone received a knock-off forge product and contacted forge about it, who in turn dropped the hammer on ARD. I do NOT know if that's true or not.

I use a Forge (from Titan motorsport for $119)..put the right spring in and lube the piston. It works great.

Can you come lube my piston?

I notice Lucky didn't address the bit about Forge valves from the SS thread in his post here. I really want to believe in this guy, but...

Lucky didn't address *anything* in his post here.

Hey guys thought I'd touch base since I know I've been away from the forums and haven't posted up much in a while There's alot of press lately around ARD Tuning good, bad, and otherwise but I thought I'd at least address any concerns you guys might have. As far as other forums, most of them require vendor fees before you can post up and in most cases (Volvospeed aside) the cost just doesn't pencil out so we're not able to post up about any products or services.

With that said I'm happy to answer any questions around our parts or tuning and my email is always a good way to contact me.

With regard to tuning, we try to keep a very transparent method of tuning. You ask for it, you get it! Big injector, big turbos, nitrous, E85... you name it and we're happy to work with you to get it. We work hard to provide products and services that meet the needs of folks while still maintaining a level of safety and longevity with regard to engine performance.

Customer support is very important to us and we strive to get back in touch with folks as soon as we can, however our level of customer contact has increased so much in the last year that we now ask for 24-48 hours time to return emails and phone calls. With the amount of technical support we provide and being the only tuner in the building I do my best to get everyone what they need but I'm still only one guy.

I'm still the same guy I've always been, growth has been challenging to manage for sure but it's part of continuing to develop new products and services. We've got some pretty neat stuff planned for this spring so that's taken time away from being as active in the forums as I used to but in the end I think it will be worth it.

We've got a few fairly large builds coming into the shop in the next few weeks and I had only planned on posting them on Facebook but if you guys are interested we can do a more detailed write up including tuning methodology and parts. We've got an RN/M56 swap 850 we just finished and a P2R coming in as well that will be some fun cars to put together.

My best point of contact is email so that's the most direct way to get ahold of me with questions or interest on products, I'm a bit slammed so I'll keep my eyes on this thread as I can but ARDideas@gmail.com is best option!

Thanks all!

Here's his post. The only thing he says is "We tune cars, and take a bit to get back to our customers."

Maybe they meant spam artist?

I make that mistake all the time.

Maybe they meant scat artist?

I don't think you want me to post a picture....

no, the people on T5D5 not you

Gotcha

I don't know what happened to those people and their tunes, but to call lucky a scam artist is unacceptable and flat out wrong

Again, I'm really hoping you're not directing that towards me.

He're Saa

Theresay

have you actually talked to Lucky about all of this instead of posting here-say and spreading doubt?

I'm really really really hoping you're not directing that to me.

Ugh.

Couple bashing him on t5d5 also

He just screwed up sending a couple ecu s here

He screwed up the tunes, or sent the wrong ones, or what? I don't care if someone makes a mistake, as long as it gets fixed. That's kinda what I'm curious about....if people are complaining because they're dbags or if they're complaining because Lucky legit screwed them.

Anyone know if this is all BS, or if there's truth in this thread? I'm going to be needing a tune relatively soon, and always expected to do ARD.... but not if this mess is going on.

So the locks keep freezing.. I'll spray some lock oil in them at night and they will be stuck again the next morning.. The drivers side is missing the little flap that covers the key hole, so I'm going to have to find one of those at the junk yard, but the pass side has the flap and it freezes too.. Idk. Random little annoyance I guess..

What flap?

My two. The huffy in the back is my little brothers.

I spy a pre-gen baby ninja!

You can't really be serious?

Show me then. Show me recent stories in the US, where young black law abiding males were targeted and killed. He's making it seem like that's this huge current issue in the US. I don't think that's the case. I think the majority of these shootings are made to seem like the victim was this innocent angel, and people get fired up. Then we find out that both parties played a role.

PS, both times I said "racist" was a joke. But people are too sensitive, which adds to the explosion.

PPS, it goes the same with any race. Act or dress like a thug/punk, get treated like one.

Go back to Swedespeed and have fun with adp, Lev and George in their Off Topic bizarro world. I was trying to maintain a civilized discussion here.

Lol. It's hard for me to have a serious conversation, when there's feathers to be rustled. :(

Racist.
