Well JJ, it's lovely to hear that you and FLI snuggle and keep each other warm.
My father was a secret under cover operative who was trained by Kemit the Frog, to infiltrate all shallow ponds and eliminate imposter toads. Laddy F'n dah is right.
If you had read the other crap you would see that I have not flamed on people with good experiences.
This is my experience, a statement of fact, there is no BS, slander, or the like. If this troubles you, maybe you should hit up FLI. After all this is the way the handled this matter.

Discussions occur about remedies.
Customer is not happy about outcome.
Shop invites customer to file a complaint with the BAR.
Customer tells the world about the poor service before customer has been exonerated.
So the shop is punished in front of the world before being found guilty.
See my point?
It strikes me as odd that after almost 6 months, this situation still has not been resolved and the flaming continues.
The ball appears to be in the customer's hands.
Has the BAR been notified?
If not, why?
If yes, what did they say?
I've met all the FLI crew & do business with them.
From what I've seen, they are stand up folks.
Does this mean that FLI didn't make a mistake?
Hell, I have no idea.

Thier offer was $900 on the condition I wasn't to contact FLI customers again. My question why wound they offer anything and attempt to silence me if they felt they did nothing wrong. Bottom line here, is thier bottom line, not the customers.
Your right, 6 months have passed and it still isn't settled. I don't know if it ever will be. Everytime this thread is bumped, (notice I did not bump it), I get a little satisfaction. Every bit of this is truth, there is no unjust flaming going on. I'm not going anywhere, neither are they. The damage has already been done to me, in thier case....
Needless to say I haven't had the best of luck with this car since it initially broke down. As a matter of fact there have been 4 motor swaps since Dec done to the car. This has cost me quite a bit of money, as you might expect. Those that I have worked with, Ed EQ Tuning, Mike and the rest of the Gruppe-s bunch, have been stand up guys. They have helped me out more that I am at will to say. I could not expect anything more from either of them. Sound advice, communication between them, making time to get it in. Hell Ed tuned my car on fathers day, Tommy slapped my car back together, the night before a race, he was there forever. This is what's it's about. Through all of this, Mike (The Reaper) has had nothing but bad news for me everytime I speak with him. Disappointing, be it as it may, I'm cool with it. He's honest, upfront, fair, trustworthy. That's how he has gotten his reputation and he lives up to it.
From what I hear from Ed, you are on a good track to building a quality reputation for yourself. Keep up the good work. Learn for those who set an example and distance yourself from those who don't.

On a side note: to the mod that edited the title and dated it, There is a date on the first post that is quite clear, I don't see the relevance in displaying the posting date. Could you please PM me with an explaination?
Thanks
Thanks

^ I guess since it was a long time ago, they feel a date is needed in the title. Somehow that takes some of the relevance away from it. Honestly I've never heard of FLI. I don't go to shops that I don't know. I think some of these threads are useless and some like this one show the badside of some shops. I'm seeing a trend in shops lately. Alot of bad work is being done. It's really too bad their isn't a higher standard of work within the aftermarket community. I'm scared of about half the shops in the bay area from all the bad rep I've heard about them. Hopefully some people will learn and no just try to do better, but really do better.
I've always gotten my bolt-up type of installs done at GB Motorsports. They are always willing to help, and they will take a customer back in if they have any concerns.
Well good luck with the situation. Hope everything works out for both sides!

On that coast guard bit. Where are you stationed? What unit?
I happen to have couple buddies in the coast guard. One of which is in Cuba right now.
