Disappointed! Can't tune my RENTAL CAR!!!

[Chuck CoW]

Not sure a tune would have fixed it Chuck unless it was the turbo one!

You do need to choose your rentals more carefully, when booking them I suggest asking what ECM type they have, I'm sure the booking staff have access to CalID.

It probably was an E37, which to most people looks like an E38, but it's made by Hitachi!, bizarre.

Cheers,

Ross.... Yes, it was lookng like a wimpy version on E38.... I pulled it and it said E37.

This sucks! I couldn't even connect to it! Then I figure "YAY - I got a T42 to mess with!" and after downloading the T42 it comes up....

UNRECOGNIZED!!!!

So, I drove it STOCK all weekend! What's the deal? Do I have to rent VETTES to TUNE MY RENTALS!!!?!?!?!

Tuning a rental car...

I wonder what the liability on this is?

Somehow I think this is just asking for unnecessary attention/trouble and other poopoo that we really don't want to invite upon ourselves.

Paul, any comments?

They have to prove it first.

Tuning the car is better than putting a nitrous kit on the rental vette like I saw on the scandalous racing video.

Not only did my EFI Live cable fail to read my last rental.....

But, I tried to rent a Chevy today in TEXAS and the girl on the phone said "yes, we rent chevys"

So, I made a reservation! When I got to the airport, All they had was a KIA!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ross and Paul... HOW BOUT SOME EFFIN' KIA SUPPORT!!!?!?!?!?!

I just can't keep renting CARS THAT I CAN'T TUNE!!!

Well, it's about time you stepped up and purchased RCTO.

a rental car will be a normal certified calibration.

There's a white Solstice on the Avis lot in Phoenix that needs some help Chuck. I have a hard time believing these cars come off the lot driving like this

I have a hard time believing that. Was it an automatic and you left it in D the whole time? Put that thing into I and then drop the Hammer.

If it's the GXP then not much you can do since EFILive doesn't support it. You'd have to have the 'other tuner' products to mess with any settings - though not much is really supported by them. Same ECU as Turbo HHRs seen above

I have squeaked a few extra HP out of my sky, but nothing to go bragging about. Not having tuning control over the automatic transmission really limits the ability to get that power to the ground.

It was an auto and I couldn't tell the difference between D & I - they both sucked. That car needed some serious help!
