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.

Honestly, that's why I gave my car 5000 miles of all type of driving (especially beating a bit on the car post breakin) before I did anything engine wise.

LOL, you wanna know why my FMIC sprayer was wired like that? It wasn't meant to stay that way. I was in a rush to finish it at 3 in the morning when i started it. I was going to redo it but the car ended up being in the shop more then it has been out on the streets...
Oh yes... My cracked A-Pillar Pod, and my The controller for the gauges mounting that falls off everytime i accelerate, with wires going everywhere... My exhaust falling off it's hangers whil driving down the road ALOT of the vacuum hoses falling off... and 2 of my intercooler hoses popping off under boost and having to fix them in the middle of the road with a Penny, is how I should base my installs after right?? Funny thing is.. that intercooler sprayer installation(besides the coil-overs) is the only thing that HASN'T needed to be fixed, and odly they where the only two things installed by me....
Oh and I also installed my Stereo, which I have had absolutely Zero problems on also....

and youve never driven with or riden in his car, he really babies it. he doesnt have the same right foot "on - off switch" thing goin on that you claim to have.

I think we are going to need surgery to remove BlackVenom96 from John's ****...

I have seen him on the road and read his posts. You and I both know that you are full of crap on this one.

funny, as john stated, the things he installed are the only ones that didnt **** up. and his car hasnt had a problem since he got it back from the shop most recently. which is odd, i mean things should be falling off right?

I haven't quite figured out why he keeps coming around and making a jackass out of himself, or why BlackVenom96 seems to be the only one defending him (although I have no problem at all with BlackVenom). Maybe I've missed a bunch, being out of the country for the last 6 months, but still...

It's not even worth reading your posts any more, unless I get to watch DZ make you look like more of an idiot. But that brings a smile to my face.
