LOL! I like your last point here…
oh snap Arin is getting heavy now. Love it!
[quote=Arin@APR]No. You visited the APR dealer and had our software put back on on the 10th. This is AFTER you went to the drag strip.
At any rate, best of luck with everything. Sorry it took this long to get to the bottom of it, but I hope you enjoy the new tune.
Good luck at the drag strip tonight. Don’t forget to hold the wheel straight.

Arin, it’s totally worth it, as it drags out the morons and the overly negative and exposes them to the forum.
And for teh lulz.

literally laughed out loud at that one
Here’s the confirm that the Audi dealer had the car in May…
[quote=Gretel]Did you go to the dealer in May?

He asked a couple of times. You can tell he is just praying for Hansel to say no so they can go back to hating Arin and APR.
But then this happened…

awwww…so close!
Bummer for Hansel & Gretel. Win for sanity and common sense.
And he’s going to the car to check the work done in May. Hopefully it shows that the car was flashed.

oh and skywagon needs to fuck off and get his own angry thread.
Of course… so predictable, Hansel.
Since he photoshopped the timeslips I don’t have much faith in him posting scans of his work paperwork. I’m pretty confident that AccessAudi is telling us the truth, rather than a compulsive liar.
He’s already changed course and is now trying to muddy the timeline by using one of his own dates and one of Arin’s dates, both of which are generalizations based off of memory. Show a concrete timeline.
[QUOTE=Hansel;9946138]Wait a min. Arin is full of shit. I sent him a video of the program changes on my car on 7/8/14 and he just said The apr dealer put the software back on my car on 7/10/14.

This is all pretty fantastic. I’ll still add that an hour’s worth of logging at the very beginning would have avoided 95% of this. The fact is you can run a 13.3@106 on the stock tune or APR stage 2 tune (as I have shown) depending on a myriad of factors… Some pretty basic logging would answer the question about what was going on.
Yep.
Ever tried to train a wild squirrel to drive a manual transmission car? No? It’s easier than getting Hansel to say focused and get his car logged for 5 minutes.
Kudo’s to Arin for staying professional in that thread. He is a saint with way more patience than I have.
Pretty laughable that Hansel is trying to fabricate his own timeline (as with the fabricated time slips). Seems pretty simple to me: the Audi system shows ECM flash on May 9, and Hansel admitted to certain dealership work on that date. It’s not a coincidence.
I don’t understand why there are people sticking up for him STILL, and he’s more than shown he’s an idiot, a liar, and doesn’t know his car from a UPS truck… I’d like to know what happened, but I think we’re past that.
No shit. Don’t you think common sense would prevail in that situation?
Here’s what we know:
- Customer says the car was fast.
- Customer later said the car was slow.
- Customer runs a stock time / trap.
- Audi says the car was flashed back to stock.
- Customer says it wasn’t.
Just for the record, on the Audi stuff, I’m not exactly an Audi employee. I shouldn’t know that information. I had to ask for a favor to get it in an effort to make sense of it all.
So, if the car is running exactly a stock stock time and trap, it’s possible one of the following was happening:
1 - It was flashed to stock without him knowing and was stock while at the drag strip.
2 - It was was in stock mode without him knowing while at the drag strip.
3 - There’s some sort of a problem that resulted in exactly a stock time / trap.
4 - Conditions / Launch / Wheel movement / Etc caused the car to run exactly a stock time / trap.
There’s only one way to solve the question of his car being down on power, and that was to run some data logs. He could go to the track again, confirm he’s in chipped mode, and it would have helped figure out of the car is not performing too, but without data we wouldn’t have known why.
He’s since flashed it with someone elses software, so there’s no way to prove anything anymore unless he goes back to APR software and collects data. If he goes to the track and runs a good time, that doesn’t eliminate possible conditions 1, 2, or 4. It possibly eliminates number 3, unless the tuner has changed something that’s allowing the car to run at full tilt even if there actually is a problem (we don’t know).
So it’s a crap shoot.
Bottom line, we tried to help and he wasn’t interested. I still cannot believe how much shit was thrown at APR and me, personally, before any data was discussed or shared, especially considering the thread was posted on a National holiday so I obviously wasn’t online posting.
This is hilarious:

Great response Arin. This thread should more than help those concerned get to an honest deduction on how he is and what really happened. From all the suspicious activity he has been caught doing it shouldn’t be hard for people to figure out the issues were more him than APR
^^ And good call on splitting this out into its own thread. Now we have all of this documented with Hansel’s name stamped in the title.
