righttttt..... so that makes everything A oh K right? How am I saying it's a widespread issue, Some of the problem that had the special mod where not just from sacramento. How many cars that have really made power have come out of their is the thing... The shop is seriously good for basic bolt on stuffs, I will give them that. It's just the big things that they have had their problems with, this isnt even talking about the cars that have been there almost a year now....
Look I have ALOT of respect for the owners of this shop, they are both really nice people and don't mean any harm at all, which is why I have tryed to remain silent, but when you come off saying stupid **** things like you stated earlier I will come out, Matt you are close enough linked to this shop that I will make you as part of them. If it was some random person I would not say such things....

I wonder if the motor issues have anything to do with the retard owner that decided to flog a car that he knew was not running right so he would not lose the street race with the Yugo. Bright idea to flog a car that you know is having problems, because more throttle input always fixes things.
Or it could be beating on and pushing a motor that is not even broken in yet, yeah that is another great idea.
Maybe the problem is with a small handful of moronic customers and not the shop.

Really you need to stfu you have no idea what you are talking about, my car had 2,000 miles on it before it was brought into the shop and was running perfect.. I brought it out and it ran like **** the day I brought it out..... I babied the car for 2,000 miles before I brought it in.....
And I was given the OK to race the car, until we thought the motor was blown. Then i infact drove safley until brought elsewhere...

but honestly no one here gives a ****...........many people in the SRIC have had their cars tuned by the shop (2 of my own first my 03 wrx and now my 05 sti) and have had no problems at all and I think that most members of the SRIC will continue to use the shop.

2. I'm not linked to the shop for any business reasons. In all honesty, I had never dealt with anyone from the shop prior to purchasing my WRX, and the first call I placed sold me on Nate and his abilities. The quality of service I received from there on only reinforced that.

johns car had over 2000 miles of break in before he took it in. go back and read his first posts when he was here, he couldnt wait till the break in was over to get on it.
but when you get a car back from a shop that is already making less power than whats possible on the setup, you would expect it to run perfect, especially when the car is at the shop for over a month. you dont expect it to blow up.
