Re: Ignition Upgrades

I had my front brake disc and pads changed this evening & decided to do the ignition upgrade after reading all the reviews about it. This mod lives up to it's name. The car feels more lively and accelerates a lot more easily.

Best value for money mod in these turbulent times.

After observing Rodney working on my car, I know I'll be sending my car back to R2D for all future servicings & repairs. Rodney's perfectionist streak certainly shows. He has this special tool which prevents the tyre nuts from getting overscrewed. The tyre shop I went to didn't even have such a tool. He also sprays the discs with temperature resistent matt black paint so that the areas that don't come into contact with the pads don't rust.

Thanks, Rodney!

Re: Ignition Upgrades

Let me just add to the list of happy customers of this R2D ignition mod.

The car is an Evo 9 that already has upgraded coils (Okada Plasma) and wires. So I was not expecting too much but was surprised that my butt dyno could feel the improvements. Won't bore you improvements here and thre but overal,l the engine felt smoother and more responsive from low to max revs..

Why I did it? Need to upgrade the ignition system as higher boost upgrade coming. :)
 
Re: Ignition Upgrades

Few days late in adding my post-installation feedback:

Car: E46 4-potter

Went down few days back to get this ignition upgrade done together with:
1. Torco racing oil change
2. Volker spec II spark plugs
3. ATF fluid change

Went for a brief test drive (with all attention paid to safety and speed limits of course) and immediately noticed the revs being held longer and higher. Not wanting butt feel to be "tricked", I made sure all driving was done only in "D" mode and not "SD" mode. Of course, "SD" mode will again be different.

Engine was also more responsive and more willing to pull. The road ran out before the rev-counter did, honest. To be fair, it was a cool night so that was an added advantage.

As the ignition upgrade was done together with the other stuff, I cannot independently separate the individual gains, but as a package it worked its magic.

For one, it did help this 4-potter of 6 years feel youthful all over again. It will not make your car an M3 (unless it already is one), but it sure as hell makes you want to drive the car harder.

Overall, if there is 1 thing I would like to say with regards to the good experience where service standards are concerned, it is the level of professionalism and attention to detail which most impressed me.

That is something I appreciate and I find a rarity in today's world. I would love to be selfish and keep this to myself but damn it, a forum is for sharing and I hope another positive review like this fuels the business owners' enthusiasm and desire to keep up their good work.

Rodney & Nadia, if business booms after this review, please make sure I get the same patience and commitment even if things get really busy OK...!!!

Oh, and I've just recommended this ignition upgrade thing to my boss. Hope I get a pay raise and fat bonus..
