You could hear audible detonation. Jimmy just started jerking on the steering wheel and kept the gas pedal floored, "YES!!! YES!!!" "Jimmy, STOP, LET OFF THE GAS" "YES!!! YES!!!" "JIMMY STOP" "YES!!! YES!!!"

yeah he said te car wouldn't even run...he said he could barely get it to hold idle after starting it up.

and still Ari recommends you...so obviously he doesn't point blame at you

i'm just telling you what was told to me lol

No clue what he's talking about. Max's car ran fine, just smokey as hell from the ringlands. I've probably just graduated from people I've never met saying "Joseph's chipped my ECU" to people I've never met "Joseph blew my engine." ::)

yeah well i talked to them about my all motor car tune...he said itb's are a pain to tune.

EDIT

this is the message he sent me
next opening is the 27th, don't know if Justin told u but ITB tune is going to be expensive and take quite a while to get it good, it could take up to 20hrs to get them perfect
I have played around with them a little and they are a pain in the ass for part throttle driveability, so price is going to start at $400, I will work for some time for this amount but depending on finiky they are it could be more

Well that doesn't sound like a bad explanation to me. Everyone admits ITB's are hard to tune,this guy is just giving you a worst case scenario. You know so you don't have a heart attack when he hands you the bill. I mean Ive never heard of the place and it's like a thousand miles from my house so I don't care. But they run a business and time is money if they spend 20 hours working on your car then that takes time away from other customers.
