To the OP - Hope you get everything worked out man, I hate seeing this kind of thing happen. I've been screwed over before as well and know how much it sucks to not have your car because of someone else's less than ethical practices. |

Like the first post says the car has a new standalone ecu and the transmission ecu is in route from manufacturer. Not answering phone calls and not showing up then he said he would IS hiding. I did get a call this afternoon from Bam, Was very informative and polite. As for Jamil, he was also patient and gave me a signed letter with a list of repairs and estimated date of completion. It is unfortunate that the person I have been dealing with still had not called prior to me showing up there . Some lessons will go unlearned. |

I'm VERY sorry you've had this horrible experience with Brotherz Racing TampasOriginalSoarer. Should have never happened. I was on vacation and X was out with a virus. None of the techs should or should have had to handle this situation. That's why they are techs. Jaime should have called you the minute this happened regardless of you being mad or not. If you would have never discovered what happened who knows ...
Xavier and I are no longer with Brotherz Racing. That is correct. I will be posting about this some time later tonight or tomorrow The two techs left there, Bam and Jamal, are great people and still good friends of ours. They do great work. They just have too much on their plate with little to no management to get them what they need, schedule appointments on time, etc. I really hope you're taken care of. When I saw the car today (bumperless and without a gas door) it still looked very nice

The car has a Soarer's 1JZ which is a 2.5 liter twin turbo engine with automatic transmission. Along with the Single Turbo upgrade the stock ecu was replaced with an Apex Power FC which is does NOT control which gear or shift points. You still with me ?... Without this the transmission by default is in 4th gear and requires reving up the engine to get the car moving. Latent Solutions, maker of the suprastick shipped out the transmission ECU which via laptop can be tuned. As far as the Brakes, although they need to bled I managed to drive it to kirks photo shoot and many other places the last couple of weeks without hitting anything. And anyone that would have stepped on the pedal before putting the car in gear would have noticed that and had the choice to push it instead. I'm going to start writing about all the other precautions that could have been taking because I don't want to push who ever had the accident "under the bus". As to putting the tech in danger. This is probably the least dangerous thing that could happen there. since everyone smokes less than the distance require by law around drums of race fuel. did you get all that ? I can write S.. L...O...W...E...R and BIGGER if you'ld like. Last edited by TampasOriginalSoarer : 05-19-2008 at 07:37 PM. |
