i recon if somone in the real world can get punished for publicly rubbishing a biusiness when it results in loss of work
then what is the difference on a public forum
anyway i will speak to my solicitor just to get a rough idea on where companies stand with forums
so i can be careful with what i post and warn others with what they post
and if anyone on here is a solicitor of some sort what are your opinions on this
and dont be biast to this site
im just curipus to see where everyone stands
anyway i think dirty laundry should not be posted on forums
just my 10 cents as ive been cusrios for afew years

Sideshow. Please show me where I have "bad mouthed" him or his business.
I advised I was not happy, I never got into a name calling scenario, Infact Dan is the one who has replied with "but after the performance of a 5 year old i think I would withdraw that offer ."
Please Sideshow, re read all the messages that I have posted on the LS1 site regarding this matter, if you can find any part where I have "bad mouthed" Dan or ChipMaster then please point it out to me.
I am sure you will find once you re read it (as I have just done) that I have not "bad mouthed" anyone, I infact sing his praises regarding starting first time and such good numbers, I am just not happy that I could not get it adjusted.

Christ Boxhead ,
I bought this little spat  Over here after the mods had suspended your account on ls1 for a laugh  ...
...it's bloody ridiculous where it has gone...and totally agree with what you just stated ..you haven't bad mouthed anyone ,they're lucky it wasn't me who got the tune I'm by no means as diplomatic as YOU!!

Boxhead , how bout you re read sideshows last post.. it wasnt aimed at you but at another forum where the bad mouthing goes on all the time. Sideshow was actually asking others what the stand is on that , seeming you had gone to the hard work of ringing around and finding stuff out he was asking where do people stand on that matter.... you really need to stop being so defensive when ever he starts posting stuff in the same thread as you..
Rebel1 - thanks for your reply.. this is what he was after. top stuff

And here is another interpretation ...
Can this suppliers tunes be classed as "faulty" therefore refundable because they directly allow( encourage) the operation of a vehicle without legislated emission controls.( ie. MAF).
Not only does it allow the vehicle to operate in an illegal manner but also prevents the operator/owner of said vehicle to correct the situation and make the vehicle comply with legislation.
Serviceability is a legislative requirement of vehicles. see the above link to the ACCC recall site and note 2008/10385 regarding the Honda Jazz.
"Defect Details: During the manufacturing process, damage may have occurred to a joint in the handbrake lever assembly mechanism. Continued use may cause sufficient wear for the joint to detach and make the handbrake assembly unserviceable."
So the defect with the Jazz is not because the handbrake lever can wear but because it would become "unserviceable" after that wear.
I suppose because after a time a fleet of Jazz vehicles would be running around with unserviceable hand brakes.
A legal precedent set regarding serviceability maybe?.

It depends on the year model..... There were a few different HSV cars that came MAFLess from the factory.
I always use a HSV SV300 program for my MAFLess tunes, that way they are compliant without the MAF.
Of course I would have sent Boxhead an unlocked PCM. I don't think I've locked a "Cobra" PCM yet...
Boxhead, I do believe that you haven't really received a fair deal from Chipmaster (geez I only charge $350 for these Cobra tunes, sometimes less). If you send me a spare PCM (not Delco's locked one), I'll send it back with a MAFless tune to your specs for nothing. Also, if you are interested in buying the software down the track, I'll help you learn how to use it so you can fine tune YOUR car to YOUR liking.....

If his intention was for it to be a general question then perhaps he should have opened a new thread and asked, Since as you say it was not intended at me pesonally it therefore has nothing at all to do with this thread.
But if what you are saying was his true intent I place my hand on my chest, bow and appologise.
