PTUNING: Finally, Authorized Cobb AccessPort/Protuner!!

Post by MrC@ptuning.com »

I posted this on the nasioc forum as well.

Well it's been a very looooooong and frustrating road to get to this point, but we just wanted to let those customers, that have stopped by our shop inquiring about the accessport & protuning know, that in the next week or so we will be stocking the accessports for the subarus as well as offering custom protune using the Cobb Accesstuner software.

Sorry it's taken so long,

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear this. Having a single shop in the area to do this was not a good idea on COBB's part.

guys, how about a DCAWD bbq at Ptuning? really, ALL the guys are super cool, and I'm sure grilling, some beverages and whatnot could be arranged. That way you all can see the shop, people get fed, and we see julians car get beat buy a scion ;)

Or you can just use Boot Camp. It's built into Leopard and it's free...

How do you use that? i have leopard but i cant find it... All i really want is to get the newest firmware that is out... Hmmm if anybody who is going to the meet tonight reads this, is there a way that i can plug my AP into someone else PC to get the new firmware or does it have to be on my own accessport management thing a ma bob...?!?

Ok, we hear you guys on the BBQ. :) Give us a little bit of time to talk to PTUNING and see if it makes sense for everyone.

what weekend would you all like?? Tell julian to start a poll, and I'll check the availability with the guys. I know they have no problem doing this, and I'm sure you all would love to see the shop and the Time Attack car :)

Life and work have kind of esploded, so if there is someone else willing to coordinate this one feel free to hop in and start up an event thread to gauge interest and give the shop a call.
