i am going to see mellow in a few min and get his opion and yes i know he is not a tech or an authority but it cant hurt. i will let rpm contact me about fixing this if they truly want to fix my car. but if its not fixed after a 4th attempt and new preasure plate i hope they come with something new.
OMFG DUDE seriously... it seems to me like they tried to work with you on the problem... How many time have they taken it out for free? He even went as far as to tune your car for free, from the fucked up open loop tune that is in it now... Seems like they have done a shitload more for you than you are even taking into account.
On a side note, I still find it funny that people mod their cars, and expect them to drive exactly like they did stock... DUH
"Brian, umm you guys put a big *** cam in, and duals, and now I have all these vibrations..." WTF do you think he would say?

i think this is all just a mis-understanding. Silver just give them a few more chances, seem to me like there doing something, although they may not of communicated this to you, remember they got other cars in the shop they cant just stare at yours until it works. They have to be efficient with there time. RPM is actually a very good shop, even though it took me almost a year to learn this(just because i was not very car smart when i visted them)

I am not here to bash RPM or support them, I have never dealt with them
But don't make this into a issue. Don't start complaining about little things left and right and jumping on a bandwagon.
About the SES light, I think once the O2's start going out, they do it for good. I have come across many instances including my own where the O2's go sour, the code pops up, you put new O2's in, and it starts all over. That is why I drive around with my code on. Do a search and see if you can't find past instances.
Good luck with your car, they sound willing to help so give them another try.
Sounds like a part failure to me, you have to put yourself in the business's shoes for a little bit. they are attempting to fix the problem, at least they didnt tell you to f*ck off after the 2nd time you went..... you cant fix it right, the first time, all the time. i promise i know. just keep working with them and i am sure that the problem will be fixed. just be patient with them, i am sure it will all work out

If he didnt get it fixed 4 times now he should go to another place and have them take a stab at it right? You did this with Sean and his tune on your car.
When you were told to take you car back to Sean you had the same attitude as Doug.

Buy a car jack
You have a Z06 and complain about $75

Sean didnt get what you wanted right after a few times so you said "**** it" and went to RPM.
How is a 100% perfect install the first time when the car has been back several times to fix that issue?
