One more comment. I'm not saying Japtrix is perfect; no shops are perfect and everyone makes mistakes. One example I became aware of today when I dropped off some parts for my car is that there is a Z built and tuned by Performance Factory fairly recently (I think about a month or two ago) that is now at Japtrix to solve an overheating issue... But this is high performance and parts go bad, things break, etc.

They now have my old wheels/tires that I don't care about, so I told Jack to see where it will go. I'll post my results next week.

After Jack is done on the dyno, then Roger will jump in the car with me and do the road tuning.

nice, when its all done come to one of our meets, we'll love to see how the beast came out

I just wanted to clearly understand what he was saying. I agree...we all know Japtrix is in Florida...

I will. We are getting it ready for Homestead next weekend (HPDS), and then after that it is going back to the body ship to put on the new rear bumper, pull out the rear fenders a bit so the 305s don't rub in high G turns (and make room for 315 track tires), fix the paint where I bumped into a curb stop, etc. Hopefully by that time the Recaros will be in, and it will be ready... At least until my next round of mods which will be comming in the first quarter of next year.

So have you ever had any work done by Japtrix? Are you just jumping on the
nuthugger highway? You have a lot of opinions about shops you never had any dealings with.

So I take it reading comprehension is not one of your strong points ...Read my post again Gummer ! I never said that Japtrix was good or bad in my opinion...I was trying to understand what the poster was saying in his post IN HIS OPINION before responding.... Maybe thats something you should try sometime.

And yes...I have opinions about shops I have never done business with..BECAUSE I have friends that have had work done at many other shops...and I get to see or hear the results of the work done.

So try this crap with someone else.

And on top of that they have little 15 yr old bull**** going on there with people stealing money out of peoples jackets. Trusting your business partner is the first thing that should be established before you even open doors for business. simple rule of thumb

I dont think Forged looked like that. and if they did would you have brought your car there? (XKR) & hundreds of other - another great classy act is GTM

O and as for TurboTrix don't get what you missed on that either XKR- they suck as well. Ask people from NJ area

Anyways MRC sucks/sucked glad there gone byebye
Didnt the shop that built YOUR car go out of business?? Yes they did...
On a side note, you NEVER came to us for anything, in fact you never stepped foot in our facility. I recall you called up for a quote on a built motor and TT install,but our prices were too high for your "Baller budget" and you went to PF in Florida who did the entire job for next to nothing....Now you decide to trash talk me after we have gone out of business..I do still have my Z, anytime you wish to race for $1000 per race, let me know...Ill show you what came out of our little "Dirty Barn"
If i folow through with my plans, this summer you will see an "independant" non shop, non sponsored 8 second 350Z.....

Just a typical hater like most...We refused to drop our prices to meet his budget, but PF did the job for him and let HIM name his price.. Not only that But I think we could not accomodate his car for quite some time. I believe I prepared a quote and emialed it or faxed it to him, for another place to undercut us at the time. No big deal for me, like I said, even with the departure of MRC Motorsports LLC, no one in NJ or NY has touched my best track times with a similar set up...Show me another Daily Driver 350Z set up that went 10.0@135 and has done so multiple times, not just once.....
Ill give shady a 2 second headstart and still beat him to the traps..Any time he is ready to put his money where his mouth is, Im game..In fact any of you out there that wish to put your money where your mouth is, bring it on and PM me..
