Default Real Speed Racing.

I posted with a problem I had at a local shop (Real Speed Racing) with a mix up with a gear install. I had the wrong ratio installed and the gear was noisy. The gear that was installed in my car the first time was not the gear I had supplied to them. I have no idea how or why the mix up occured. After a few end discussions about the situation and posting my problem here on TR. Walt (Real Speed Racing) has made the situation right. He did follow through on replacing the gear and installing it. I havent checked the ratio on the gear he installed but I cant see him doing the work again no matter where the fault lay and put the wrong gear in. Im just glad my car dont sound like a airplane anymore and happy to have this behind us.

Good to hear. Walt has always seemed like a nice guy and not known to fuck anyone over.

Glad to hear man. In your previous post you didn't notice a difference with the gears that were installed the first time, so how does it feel now?

Considering the story I heard he wasn't able to spin the tires in the wet with the 3.73's so I doubt he will see a big difference in such a small increase.

If not for respect for some people involved I would say alot more about this whole deal. Either way it's a done deal and this guy got a new gear.
