Well that doesnt seem right. If some one is just letting people know that they have done this type of work in the past, and we (the member) choose to talk to them in PM's or email about the work they have done, and or choose to have them do some work, whats the harm?
Now I know why I havent come much to this site or another one out there and stuck mostly with LS1GTO.com. Way to strick on some of the rules and not stricked enough on others.

The harm is that the people who pay for this site to even exist can get upset that people leech business. This website is a business, and we are bound to uphold what we claimed to provide to the sponsors, a viable place to advertise on and solicit business.

Chevrolet would be pissed if I put an advertisement on the corner of their billboard on the highway.

We have a constant battle against people doing back door sales. They are taking money right out of the pockets of our paying sponsors.

Well i can tell you this, that if a member can provide the same quality of work and customer service and Pm's about there work or I them and they are less expensive or like in this case can do a core exchange (which is what I need since my GTO is a daily driver and cant have down time) and a sponsor cant offer this service, then Im gonna go with the member and be more than happy to point others in there direction. Now I do agree with your point and have with all my cars ordered parts from the sponsors, but if they can give me what I want and someone else can thenIm going with them, Period!

I did a little checking and only found New Era. But they dont offer a core exchange. Which means my goat would be down for a week or so. And I cant have that. Now if a member offers me a the same quality work and a core exchange so that I have no down time and it is all hashed out thru PM's, emails, or over the phone, I will go with them.
For the most part I will order my mod's from the sponsors, but if they dont have what I want, I will find it some where.

I doubt Ill get to a dyno any time soon. Ill know though by how the car drives and responds if it realy works. I am positive it will improve the performance. This the one mod I forgot to do to my 06 gto before I traded it in, I guess that isa good thing. Less money waisted.

Thats correct, Im retired. Ive gone to live with Elvis and Bigfoot in Atlantis. The only way back and forth is by UFO which gets old after a while with all the probing and testing they do as a fee
