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.

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

...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.

At least until my next round of mods which will be comming in the first quarter of next year.
awesome bro, how did everything go at HPDS?

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 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.....
