If this is the case, then my response would be: PWN3D!

I got a bad vibe from Scott Performance when I met Ted and his crew before. After my test mule confirms the effectiveness of the UNICHIP, I will surely be paying another visit to Z Car Garage- they have shown a high level of profesionalism.

andy, he said 100hp per liter - 4 liters = 400hp.

i'll see about UNICHIP. i don't like these cunning methods "20hp or your money back". i know Rob will take the thing back if i'm not happy with it.

Hahaha! She has a 2005 IS300- I was actually planning on getting her an SUV (FX35 or RX330) and making the IS my project car, but I ended up getting my G35.

I heard somewhere that Rob used to work with Ted. and there was a business discrepancy so rob broke off and started Z-car. i think that is why there is bad blood.

Well, regardless of what their differences might or might not be . . . I didn't appreciate Ted making some back handed comments about Rob when Ted was first talking to us inside the office about the G's engine block.

I don't know how many of you heard Ted's comments about Rob, which I will not repeat, but that's very unprofessional. I have never met Rob, but Ted's comments were not neccessary.

Let me know when you install it. I need a live demo. And did you ever get your curb rash fixed?

I installed it that same night. It takes about 15 minutes to install. I also installed a JWT pop charger at the same time. That took less than an hour, and only because I was taking my time. It's really easy to do. =)

I never got the curb rashed fixed. No time to stop by the wheel repair shop. I should really do it though. Thanks for reminding me.

Danny: We can hook up your z-tube anytime you want XD

turboshoota, you're a bit too fresh to the board to talk $hit about either Scott Performance or Z Car Garage.

"You call that a Dyno. That place is a dump." - which shop are you talking about, btw? not that i would put any weight into anything you have to say.
