| Question:
Hey there,
I currently own a 350z that is pretty much standard.
Sad to say I don\'t really know much about cars specification wise but I do like to drive fast.
Put quite simply I want to go as big as I can and as fast as I can with the turbo in the engine.
The thing that does concern me is that I have heard from people that you over charge and cars usually always come back with some kind of damage. Personally that don\'t bother me as I would expect any upgrade in the car to come with some elbow grease! Is it also true that you manipulate the results of the dyno tests so people think their cars are faster than what they really are?
The only reason I ask is that everyone who I have asked about you never give a good feedback about you guys. Myself I like to be neutral, and thought you had a good outfit going on there... |

Well, there's an introduction!
My feeling is you are talking about another company? I could direct you to a hundred people who don't say those things about us. We tend to undercharge, but I can't imagine people always like to spend money on thier cars, and some will always complain about it, having no idea what it takes to fix some problems. As to causing damage, I'd like to know who said that, as I can only recall one or two minor scrapes in 25 years, and when you have cars in close proximity, and you're dismantling the things, careful as we are, things can happen. I just accept it, and send them off to the bodyshop. What else can I do? As a comparison, we recently rebuilt a 350Z that was dismantled by JFE Exeter, and came to us in a pile of bits with parts missing! the car is now perfect, and went back to the man unmarked. We have had NO insurance claims in getting on for three decades, the whole time I've been in business. Bear in mind we frequently are entrusted with cars costing the kind of money David Beckham spends..As to manipulating the dyno figures, you are definitely wide of the mark! I just couldn't be assed to play that game, and can prove it by comparing our figures with the "oppositions" dynos, who consistently give higher figures than ours. We have the dyno sheets to back that up. I tell it like is it, take it or leave it.
As to your 350Z. We can supply and fit a twin turbo kit, we've done it already, 440 bhp to you sir, more if you have the budget, and if it comes back with more than a finger mark on it, I'll eat your space saver... |
