I've seen so many of those types of threads across several platforms from unscrupulous performance shops, they are the number 1 reason I will never power mod my vehicles.

There is a company or two on this forum I wish we could exploit like this... I hope they never become a vendor on here.

How could anyone possibly keep pumping money to that shop with that crappy timeline and failure to deliver?

For that kind of money the car should have been gold plated.

A TOOL and his money will soon be parted

Who says you can't?

To be fair, that list of gripes isn't too much different from the stock GTR experience.

I've seen better work done by High School kids.

BigBlock69RS · 05-13-2013, 09:27 PM

Wow, those are some expensive washers and silicone sealant...

05stram · 05-13-2013, 09:42 PM

why would someone allow a car to remain somewhere and not meet deadlines and keep pumping money into it. Paul Harvey would say a here is the rest of the story? 250K for mods that dude could of bought a REAL car.

Welcome to mod hell. I've had it happen twice with two different platforms. One tuner/installer stood by their work and covered everything after a brand new motor dropped a lifter. One installer walked away from a lean tune and cost me $4k in repairs. NEVER again.

I wouldn't have given them a dime after they screwed up the first time. That's just crazy. Hope he wins his lawsuit.
