I will be there Friday for my tune. I will be curious as to what Troy has to say. He said they drove and even leaned on it a little bit and could not get it to replicate any problems. Hope everything works out for your cousin. I'm happy with what they have done for me so far.

They just say its clutch chatter, which doesnt explain the clutch getting stuck to the floor at WOT at times, heavy vibrations like if the car is falling apart at times, some grinding, trying to fight the gear in at WOT. We hope the car comes back out good also cause they seem to have a good rep and we dont want to be the ones to try and ruin that. Which is the reason he went ahead and chose KP cause of good rep.

If josh from ky turbo paid a few people back and opened a new shop would you send him money too?

Roll your eyes at me like a little girl all you want. When a crook that owes money all over the country to people in the race community goes from being hired help at a shop to partial owner it's going to raise eye brows. Why would anyone want to support the growth of a business they own? Are you really that thick to not understand the difference?

if you that mad i guess you are one of the ones that was ripped off or maybe your just on here acting like you were and giving them such a bad name...since they have been kp racing they have been just fine...and yes all shops do have issues sometimes but they get fixed...but the past is the past..let it go

Shops do have issues and we understand that. Its fixing the issue where it gets nasty. Some shops choose to not fix any problems. That is why KP is getting another chance to solve the coyotes issue. If they do solve it then that means they stand behind their name and look into making there customers happy.

Pull the helper spring off the clutch pedal. That will fix the issue of the clutch sticking to the floor. My 2013gt did it with 100 miles on the odometer. Tremec's have always been notchy in my opinion.

Its been done. Its the clutch itself cause that thing smells burnt in normal driving conditions without even stepping on it.

Were you directly involved in the old T56Rebuilds mess? If not, where are you getting your facts? How do you know that disputes weren't settled, did you call all the people and ask them? You leave a lot to assumptions here, which doesn't help anyone. So, let me give you some facts to chew on. Whether you choose to believe them is your choice.

Joe doesn't own KP. KP stands for Knight Performance. Mr. Knight owns KP, and purchased the land, building, equipment, tools... everything. He is a good man, and former customer of LMR. He and Joe had a good relationship, so Joe was asked to come run his shop. He owns another successful business not related to the car industry, KP is a company he started for his passion with cars. Amber does not work at KP, period.

Also, Knight and Joe were both concerned about the internet horror stories and reputation from the T56Rebuilds crap. Knight personally wrote checks to cover any outstanding disputes, to put an end to it all. If you know someone with a legit claim, have them contact him. This was done in order to give his new shop a clean start, and try to get out from under the previous negative history. Think about it, it is a good business decision to do so. Write a few losses for a few grand, in order to give your half million business investment a chance to grow.

So, again, you can keep perpetuating this history, or you can try and let Knight have a successful business after a huge financial investment. But, at least get your facts straight - or actually do something to help those victims instead of merely complaining on a forum about it. I've had some long conversations with the guys at KP about this stuff, so I am doing something about it. I just ask you to do the same, on your end.

If anyone out there has an open dispute/claim, feel free to contact me and I'll put you in contact with the right people.

Thanks,
Tony

Stop making sense Tony! I'd rather bitch about it on the internet then make a claim and get funds owed to me LOL

I started to make a post similar to yours yesterday but stopped. I figured those who actually lost funds would have done this already as it has been posted on several occasions on several boards.

Well said Tony. Joe is a great guy and the talent in that shop is amazing. Mr. Knight is a great guy that shares a passion for cars just like all of us. If you are owed money, contact the shop and they will get you taken care of. If you are not owed money and were never involved in the matter until the **** talking started then get your facts straight.

Just picked my camaro up from them Monday and they had good customer service and I am satisfied with the tune. I dealt with Troy up front and any questions I had for Joe he answers them and helped me out big time. They did a couple of other small things for me and didnt charge labor out the *** like I thought most shops would.

The debt was peanuts compared to the business investment. Good business sense to do so. I'd like to hear more about your story, too.

Thus far, nobody has contacted me with any claim report. Like I said, all internet nonsense. Send them over, if you know them.
