Hey guys im just wondering if anyone knows somewhere decent in perth that can give my aus spec vr4 a general tune up as it seems to be running rich at the moment. I dont know alot about cars so I thought it best for someone else to have a look at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

remember, a tune is only a air filter, plugs and fuel filter.. and most workshops will get the plugs out and think that the 1.1 mm pregap is correct for these engines, when its not (as they have no idea about vr4's)
then you will wonder why your car runs even worse than before..
maybe get a service done but you can do a tune yourself easily

All mechanic works on my car are tuned and installed my Cypher Industries. They are in O'cornor. They are very good but they usually very busy and u need to book the car in. Not real cheap in price but you get quality in return.

Thanks for the responses but I think something else is causing it to run like crap so I might try to get that fixed first.
