harman motive

munky69 · 10-31-2007, 06:29 AM

went up there for the first time yesterday and got my protune. all i can say is WOW! i'll just list it out

-location: not hard to find at all,resturaunts nearby,somewhat near freeway
-shop: nice as hell,great lounge. nicest dyno setup i've ever seen. the dyno cell is amazing w/ it's sci-fi sound asorbing wall

-staff: super cool and knowledgable
-tune: omghi2u smooth steady power. i seriously can't remember if my car ever ran this great. dan is one of the best for sure. had a few weird issues and he figured it out in like 2 minutes
all in all it was prob one of the best tuning shop visits i've ever had. if your scared to go there cuz you don't know them, stop. they are great and will take care of you. i can't praise them enough

I need to get down there

STI23 · 10-31-2007, 06:50 AM

if only i was still in the OC..

munky69 · 10-31-2007, 04:23 PM

ok more of the story... so i had utec before. i went to gst (also a great shop) as i had a prior tune from mike. get there, get hooked up and he can't get the computer to communicate with the utec. needless to say i was a pissed @ the utec. gst is like 500 miles from my house

i went ahead and joined the modern world and got a apv2. love that thing...anyway. upon loading it everything ran fine, but i had a butt ton of CELs.
before my tune dan @ harman checks it out and all my CELs are like ones for an 07. ( secondary air pump,etc..) get it hooked up to the dyno and as he's hooking up his equipment, finds my battery ground is loose on my hks circle earth. tighthen it up,and bam cels gone

. also he reccomended the prodrive boost solenoid as he hates avcr's and his reasoning makes complete sense.(let ecu control boost) especially just a stage 2 street car. 80 bux and he installed it for free. (it only takes 2 minutes, but still a nice gesture) so he starts doing pulls. everything is good

it's cool to watch him work and see how he's smoothing out the curves with each run. well i could go on, but i think i got my point across

oh bonus, i got a free shirt and license plate frames

as a birthday present to myself, I think I'm gonna do this...now to find the time.

lol did you have to stand behind the yellow line??? hahaha

munky69 · 11-02-2007, 05:18 PM

nope, i roamed free actually

did a tour,but stayed away from the lifts afterwards as common sense/courtesy. i just went to the dyno window and in there when dan was setting up. that sound wall is nuts

**tyler_sti** · 11-02-2007, 05:24 PM

HARMAN IN torrance ca?

azndrgnkid · 04-06-2008, 08:41 AM

Yup, Harman is in Torrance.

Scoobie08STi · 04-11-2008, 01:48 AM

Harman Motive has a really nice shop and great customer service, been there twice now and have yet to be dissappointed. I'm slowly doing mods to my STi, once I go pass stage 2 with my accessport, I difinitely going to Harman to get my tuning done.

KB'izzle · 04-22-2008, 12:28 PM

Hey how much did you guys pay for your pro tune at harman? I was kinda hoping to pay less then 500 for the first and 200 for each additional map? Is that possible over there?

***bue car*** · 04-22-2008, 12:38 PM

I think its 500 to start or 6??? i bet its 5. Additional map is 200.... but when i was there, they argued if it was100 or 200 more.... so not too sure.

black n blue · 04-22-2008, 12:58 PM

499 for the first map
200 for each additional

for the Accessport of course...

# is 310 539 9010

KB'izzle · 04-22-2008, 01:03 PM

Well thats kinda alot for me now, I dont have very many mods yet so I think I will wait until its more worth it, I dont want to have to pay another 500-700 once I install my equal length manifold or any other minor mod
