Hey John lots of guys with NA Lancers were very happy with getting their cars tuned last time. They all ranged from completely stock to modified.

Hehe, all Lancers should be tuned, if only to show Mitsu what they should have sold.

John - I got mine tuned last time Merlin was in Brisbane... I am the perfect example of a happy customer. The torque difference is amazing, matched with improved driveability it's a great thing to do all round. Major difference I have noticed is that I can now chirp 3rd gear (only cat-back exhaust modified). :)

Sweet, would like to see the difference it makes.

Not sure if it has been asked but when the car goes in for servicing, could they write over the tune to bring it back to standard, and if so, are the maps easily be reinstalled by anyone with software. Do we get a copy of the file on disk. Not sure if these questions have been asked before. Just thinking if they are possible

If you bring a USB or SD memory stick I am happy to copy your tune file across.

If not, you can always email me, I keep a copy of all clients tune files.

98RON is the fuel you should be using on these cars - best power and best mpg.

Of course, if you want an E85 tune, well we can do that too.

It should be ok, look under the dash, find the OBD2 port (black 16 pin connector mtd on a metal bracket).

There should be a white plastic connector beside it for flashing.
