we had a shop like that here.. ripped on my JRC intercooler saying it was thin cheap ---- cut from a diesel truck (partly true.. lol)

He wanted to sell me some shitty bling bling no-name intercooler. He told me that he would have to charge $200 for a custom install of my intercooler, but if i bought his, it would only cost $30. Must have thought I was as stupid as I look.... lol

They refused to give uberdata and like setups any love.. All they did was promote AEM EMS, HKS, and Hondata products.. They also refused to give props to HMT, and any other like site..

Im glad those bitches are closed now.. lol

there is or was (don't really know if they are still around anymore) a shop like that around where i live. they are the biggest bunch of asshats i have ever seen. i went in there twice, and both times one of the jackass salespaople tried to sell me some garbage *** part for way more then it was worth . they would burn peoples clutches up trying to do burnouts, and if the car wouldn't do one they would tie it to a telephone pole with a tow strap . a guy i knew even went to them to have them tune his VAFC and they set it at -24 all across (he had dsm 450's) and then said it was good to go. charged $85. my friend drove his car home and later blew his engine. i will never goto that place or recommend it to my most hated enemy.

the moral is don't worry word of mouth gets around and they soon loose business.
