Sniper for AU

[5.0 ED]

Posting this here as well in case anyone has info on them, i put a thread in bpt but no ones responded, so does anyone know if they are going to do an AU sniper or not, cause i read something, somewhere on the net that the american company who makes them have dropped all australia car research and therefore there will never be a sniper for au?

excuse my ignorance but what is a sniper?

its a tuner, but unlike the flash tuner, you can buy the software for diy's.

In mid-January Barry Batten told me the Yanks had assured him it'd be ready "in 2 weeks" LOL!

[5.0 ED]

Yeah i've been told that in september and january as well.

yeah i have neen waiting for the ford livewire tuner and ive been asking for it for 3-4 months now and everytime i ask they tell me its 2 weeks away. i might just settle for the ford flash tuner 2.

I have been waiting patientley as well :.

I posted on the 25 of feb on the sniper tuning forums, under Australian tuners, Whats the hold up, sniper 4 AUIII 5.6L.

If you guy's get a chance post on there( Sniper tuning forums ) or there is a link through BPT Motorsport sight, so we can give them a push along.

I am only going to wait another month, after that i will go with Flash II.
I cant wait any longer.

Cheers Mick.

I couldn't find anything to that effect in the "Australian Tuners" section of the Sniper website. The most recent posts suggest they are working on transmission control for the 6-speed ZF box atm, which doesn't sound like dropping Oz car research.

Having said that however, BPT are no longer saying "2 weeks". I rang them today & was told "it will be a fair while yet".

Maybe we should start asking the Diablo people if they can do it quicker...
