Default What happened to the VA Speed bashing thread?

I came to check in and it's gone. Did I miss something?

Don't tell me it was deleted cause of sponsor bashing...

Even though the thread had some good tech on gains from tuning, the direction of the thread turned ugly and it was moved to the Sponsor Feedback section.

WOW is all I can say. I read all of that, and am very thankful that it wasn't deleted.

I was following that thread as well. Sponsor or not, if you screw someone, it has the right to be known. Hope all parties involved were able to settle the dispute.

That's not true, no one in said named company can use a phone or return a phone call.


I disagree with deleting threads even if they're the owner of the website, leave it open and air out the dirty laundry. Seems to work just fine on Yellow Bullet, were the serious racers congregate.

I never made it public on any forums but I had a Virginia Speed built boost shortblock that was not cheap whatsoever with rust pits in the liner on 2 of the cylinders. When I called them to ask them wtf they said there would be no way they would build an engine like that. Shitty situation but I spent over 20k on 2 different engines and they couldnt help me at all with it. They lost my business back then so I started building my own motors. NOBODY will pay attention to things like you will when putting something together. Not even big bad Virginia Speed.
