Vmax, probably not tomorrow cause I'm installing full lenghts on my car tonite. I'll see you guys on the 11th, at least at a better track. Hey bro-looks like we got a couple of things in common, fast cars and BB, do you ever vistit the MuscleNexus forum? 215 right now at 5' 8" with 19" gunns and 16% BF. Maybe Jim will let me put my gunns to use-lol? Is he still on the Atkins diet?

It's too bad about tomorrow... it will be an interesting day

I gave up on the online bb-ing forums... there is even more crap talk on them than there are on the car boards!

I'll see you on the 11th @ TMP!

Eugenio I'm not calling you a liar. I just said that there are 2 sides to every story and that you should get all the info possible before making a decision.

The reason I defended Pete and ARE was because of what augiedog77 said. I only list my experiences on the internet. I hate all the second hand talk... or my buddys friend mother sister got f'd by some performance shop. Find any shop that's been open for a while and you're going to have customers who aren't happy.

Eugenio like Pomp said we've never called you a Liar but we're only maintained that there are 2 sides to any story.

Arun - Yep 12.80's but as you probably know I've had my own issues with my car this year. It's also no drag car I wanted a quick street car otherwise I would have spent another 5k in a clutch/rear already.... we're unlucky in the fact that we have the weak rear ends from the factory. I'm sure it will run strong tomorrow but we'll see.
As far as the Atkins Diet I was never on it.... I had my own personal program that took me to 16%body fat on my own. I had it as low as 12% at 190 with the help of Andre's program Put your guns to use??? Is that some kind of threat? I'm not here to start fights with people.... I'll see you at the track on the 11th of Sept.....

I'll post my experiences and they have all been great at ARE. Tonight Peter stayed very late just to make sure that all my exhaust mods did not do anything to hurt the cars perfomance or the car. Keep in mind he is soon to be a dada again and on Friday he stays 3-4 hour late looking at my ugly mug. A skilled, stand up bunch of guys in my opinion.

You can checkout what they have done for my car here:

I'm a very happy customer and they always do what they can to help me if I have concerns.

I agree with Rampant ,

Pete K at Autoworx performed an excellent tune on my SS.

Why the hell would I ever step foot in ARE's shop? I've read enough posts (on several different forums ) and spoken with enough people that have been screwed by them personally to learn the lesson. Every company is going to have some horror stories, but how many chapters should 1 shop be allowed to write?

DON'T GO TO ARE. That is my opinion, I have as much right to post it as you do yours.

Frankie PM'd me to try his shop out, and I might've checked it out until I read what Eugenio got for compensation and reply's from ARE workers over his missing parts.

Why keep the other side of the story a , we've already got one side, post yours. Then we can whats what.

Another vote for FTR. Wade knows his stuff.

(I was an ARE customer but followed Wade when he left ARE.)

Looks like the trend is ARE f***ing their customers and they end up doing the work elsewhere.

As I said above, Pete K. at Auto Worx will give you a good tune and honest evaluation. No tricks.
