Any else get nervous when they drop their FC off for work?

I'd rather them give me the parts so I can do it myself. Somehow I don't think that will happen.

I wouldnt trust any shop, and its not hard at all to do your own work, especially with the wealth of information on this forum

the only thing i plan on taking my FC to a shop for is for body work and paint, which i cant do myself and i want it done right.. before i drop it off, im going to detune the hell out of the fuel and timing maps so that it bogs in boost haha that way they cant take it for joy rides LOL

Yes, this is EXACTLY why I too have done all my own work for the past 1.5 decades, and 6 FCs. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself...

I'm hesitant to park it in a parking lot, let alone let somebody else touch my baby.
