well thats exactly the thing here. he "assumed" he was getting new shims. I never told him or any of my customers they were getting new parts in places they arent needed. there are transmission shops that advertise they use all new shims and new lock nuts. maybe thats where he got the assumption I do them the same way? I dont advertise at all. I simply do things the way i like to do them for my own cars. Thats what he paid for and thats what he got. he is entitled to take his own trans apart to see if he got the parts he paid for. he not entitled to ask for money for me to pay for it his labor. he was not charged for new shims or new nuts.
Chris you have no business in this thread. why are you not in here with Tech that would be pertinent to the subject at hand? why arent you talking about the trans and t-case work thats in your record setting car? the ones I built? When Orlando called to talk about the trans he did mention your car. He said he loved the way it shifted. Hey isnt that the trans that was in the car when it went 9's. hmm. thats something. What I dont like about you Chris is how you have only one fast car to your name. A car that was built from all bolt on parts.That other people made. Then tuned by another shop. Then driven by you to record setting times. And now you are a pro. Enough of a pro to start your own speed shop. Didnt you tune Orlandos old EVO FP black car that he just sold? Cause I heard that car blew the head gasket the first week the new owner had the car. I guess he got a drag race safe tune and not a safe road race tune. Maybe he should have been informed what he was paying for? Worse than that you now claim to tune your own car? Hows that going? Cause when I drove the car on Scotts tune I was shocked how bad the daily drivability was. (have no idea what you paid for with Scott. hopefully WOT tuning only) After driving 100s of performance cars I can honestly say your car had the worst drivability I have ever seen. When John drove the car to dyno to Scotts he had the exact same impression. He had to call me the last time he did that for you. he was shocked at how bad the car drove. "have you ever driven this car" And hey even Orlando had to admit to the same. The same Orlando that you are siding with here. When Orlando dropped his tranny off here he talked about being the driver of your the car, to put brake in miles on it. he said when he was done after a week of driving the car he threw the keys back at you. He said he never wanted to drive your car again. he said it was the worst driving car he has ever driven. he said he doesnt want to build HIS car LIKE that. Whats really weird about this is you are the guy constantly on forums arguing with other people who are breaking your record times. your biggest argument always is how you car is not modded to be a race car. its still a street car with all the creature comforts. Even I was impressed by the the records. UNTIL I DROVE IT. hey we are just being honest here. hope thats okay with you. I do have something nice to say about your tuning. You did a good job on Miguels car. The one that has English racing start up map on it. His car drives quite nice. But I heard he paid 100 dollars for the tune from you. I just have one simple question for you. Is that your going rate for a tune? Or just how desperate you are to get your name out there?
