Sorry kinda long, but very funny shit(well not for me at the time)

I have 1 horror story B4 I go to sleep about a tune that I did about a year ago on a LS/VTEC-T, I should of known better when B4 the tune for about 2 weeks the owner called me like 10 times a day, asking Q's about A FRIENDS CAR??? Hint Hint?? I figured he was a good kid and just needed to be pointed in the right way. well the day of the tune(sat morning about 8AM) I get this Teg pull up that was smoking Sooooo bad, I thought mabye it was someone else?? the kid got out and it was him and a friend.. I was told that the motor was running 8:5:1 comp, a B16 head fully P/P'ished, with new Skunk2 turbo cams, JG victor X intake mani, 70MM TB a PTE SC32 and a Full race manifold. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA when I say the car has NOTHING that was said to be on it, I MEAN NOTHING!!. It was running a TD05H turbo, a hacked up DIY turbo manifold, some custom intake mani(actually was really nice) and a ITR TB to boot. I closed the hood and was sooo pissed, the kid was like......."well I bought it off the parts trader and the guy who sold it to me said it had all those parts but he lost all the reciepts and stuff, but he also told me it ran a low 11 sec pass" When the whole time this kid was telling me that he had been working on hondas for about 5yrs and had built a few race motors but never tuned any(didnt know how). Sooo not really wanting to touch the car, the kid begged me and I REALLY needed some cash, I started to tune this thing(well tried) I pop the hood again to fine countless plugs/sensors not pluged in and what not, plug them in, look everything over, decide to do a comp test.. WOW this thing was pushing 235PSI on each cyl... well there goes the 8:5:1 comp. So I tell him that he needs to bring the car to someone else and get all the issues worked out B4 I will tune it. he tells me "well can you at least get me a little better basetune?? So I agree, go in the car take the kickplate off to get to the ECU, and guess what.............................. this fucking car is running a OBD2 ecu . I totally get pissed and ask him what the deal is and say " I thought you had Hondata" he says I do, its in the glovebox???? So not knowing what I will be finding in the glovebox, I close my eyes cross my fingers and pop the box, Low and behold its a ............VAFC....... OMG! fuck this. this kid has 550cc injectors and a vortech FMU and a VAFC?? at that point he was pretty imbarrassed. and I was done. I told him that if he gave me about 2 weeks and a bunch of money I could get the car running alot better, but he declines and says he will be calling the seller and working something out with him. I tell him there are lots of ways to go, and we part ways and I have yet to hear from him, this was about a full year ago..

what a waste of time.... oh well you win some U lose some, See what you get the farther south U go..HAHA J/K

 

Good stuff

 

Understood... Since I'm a whore, I like an area full of John's...

Classic story too; isn't it like that everytime?

 

+6,If Chris trusts him,i do!!

 

I do I dont offer tuning services. I have a daily job I am at a lot +1 on the venting though.

 

well as of now, I dont have a daily J..O..B So any money comming in helps out greatly. I actually got a call earlier today were someone that lived in ST-pete wanted me to come up sometime next weekend and get his car up and running(just got built) and had no way of comming to me, and I cant, I have a few things going on for the next month, so I told him about Mtber and gave him his web address and info. Sooo if you get a call from a guy with a B18C1 turbo hatch..... well....

 

Sure, send the messed up cars my way so I can take out my fustrations on my midgets j/k

I appreciate the referral.
