When you get it back from a shop and need to go to another shop to get it done right.

Not related to the obviously hammered on mid-pipe but 4th picture down you see your o2 sensors? On the driver side there 2, of them. The grey wiring sheath is for the primary O2 for B1S1 and below it at an obvious downward angle I can tell is the wideband. I'm not sure who installed the Bung for the wideband as it is an obvious oversight as when you put an o2 sensor on a downwards angle like that the condensation building in the exhaust will collect on the sensor and rott it out from the inside out.

Always install o2 bungs at an upwards angle preferably 15* or so or else you'll experience premature sensor failure.


Glad you were able to bring it to another shop that knows what they're doing to correct the mistakes. You should post up the name of the shop so everyone knows to avoid them IMHO.

Same shop that used the hammers installed the bungs...you don't really want to know how many O2 sensors we went through...more O2 sensors than oil....

Yep, it is on our list of things we need to fix yet...



The exhaust work is only a very small part of the whole build...I know some of you know the whole story and have seen all the pictures, documents and videos of all the screw ups this shop did, or the review that continued to get removed but it will eventually all get on here because I would hate for anyone else to have to go through what we have...

The sad thing is, there are many more! I've said it before and I'll say it again, the truth is starting to come out. I can't wait to see what the excuse is this time! "We didn't do that exhaust" or "You never gave us a chance to fix it" or "That's what you asked for and we did it!"

I have been looking for a good shop to work with around the GTA area. I think this confirms my decision to partner with SPI.

Cant go wrong there.....they did my dyno tune...set up my trans. Did a 391 gear install and added a 3200 Circle D stall. All without any trouble.

My car was tuned at SPI with bolt ins and again with turbos as well as my friends car and andrew might be me of the nicest, most helpful people you'll come across. No issues with their work either. was going to use someone else but had some issues that made me go to SPI. Glad I did

[momofsix]

You gotta love when you go to a car show nowhere near where you live and people you have never met recognize the car as the 'Da...va ' fu**** car. And then they start telling you their own story of being screwed by the same shop and friends of theirs...unbelievable how many are out there

[SSCam77]

The truth always comes out, it's about time!

Hey Momofsix,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues you'd experienced with this particular shop. According to the pictures, it clearly appears to a subpar job.
Someone also mentioned to me that the mods to your drive train were not done to your satisfaction.
I hope everything will be rectified, and eventually you'll be able to enjoy your vehicle with the modifications that were supposed to improve your driving experience.

Furthermore, I believe that you ought to receive some sort of monetary compensation for this unsatisfactory and unacceptable work. Have you inquired any legal counsel?

Thanks This work, along with the tranny are really only a small part of the whole car build that we did with this shop...We have slowly been able to start enjoying the car again, it has been hard and even harder trusting anyone to touch the car again. Since too much information on here results in things getting deleted, I have pm'd you...
