Last year IA **** still popping up




I have been working on the car Like crazy plus other things getting it ready for RD 1. Car goes to Banzai in early April for TUNE.

SOME **** to be on the look out for, http://www.facebook.com/BreakingTeamTandem

 

Alright heres a shitty garage pic but u get the idea. Hood, hatch spolier, skirts have been painted. Had some fitment problems with the Sexy Style front bumper so i'm gonna hold off until i can get more time to **** with it. Rear Diffuser isnt pictured and the fasteners on the skirts are getting anodized blue because I hate the way the silver looks. I was gonna have them painted but they would chip like crazy and look like hammered ********. I also swooped up some extra drift spares from my buddy. WEDS 18x10 around 0/+10 offset .




And this is why he is parting his car out, thank god he had just pulled the rears off LMAO




STILL have a bunch of little things to finish up before the season starts on April 21st soooo back to that ****.

 

more now !

 

holy ***** that crash looks gnarly!!!

car is coming together dude! skirts are rad.

 

I only saw green sparkle fly up in the air then slam the ground. I was expecting to see my friend nick "that i work with everyday" hanging out of his windsheild dead. He's had this car since highschool LOL and interior was 100% stock his airbag even went off LMAO.
He shot down the inner side of the bank and then skated up to the wall where his wheel the front WEDS snagged a seem in the K rail and made his car do an endo. It was kinda scary at first but he walked away with a briused sholder and thats it.


Oh ya his bumper, Headlights and hood were totally fine after the wreak but it pushed his wheels into the footwell and should have broke his ankles. chassis is toast

 

your doing MDU i take it? i was going to try and make it to that. my car still needs a cage and a tune though.

There is an Auto-X at Martin Dragway over in the Plainwell area of MI on that Sunday 4/22 last year they let us all get stupid and slide around. You should come shut everyone up lol.

 

Damn. Gnarly crash is gnarly. Suprised and happy he survived.

Car looks fresh

 

what are the specs on your 57d's? f*cking love this car

 

Ya im driving MDU again this year and some other events that i think will be fun. Dont worry about a cage just come and have fun , but deff get a tune LOL


2 Gram Light 57D 17x9 +12 (Fronts)

4 Gram Light 57F 18x9.5 +20 (Rears) (12mil slip ons effective +8)




Another shot of the new Drift spares



AEM wideband and Autometer Fuel Pressure Gauge i had laying around, both should help with tunning. Then I can shut the glovebox and forget about them (I dont like gauges everywhere)

 

All right so **** is happening, Car is running NO THANKS TO BANZAI racing, but ill get to that later.



Car is running awesome "low boost street tune". My long time friend Tony Nugyen which I met thru street racing in the early 2000's drove up from Indy to tune my car. If you have ever wondered about the Fuzion banner I run on My widsheild this is to show respect and rember my roots. This was our close nit car family that went out on the weekends.

So anyway we had some problems at first because I didn't buy a Apexi Datalogit so we couldn't change the value for my Gm 3bar map sensor. So we called around for mulitiple items that could cure this problem. Back to BANAZI I just bought the commander mount and map mount from them last week and was planning on having them tune my FD. I prefer Dyno tunning for power and street tunning for driveability "who dosent". But after them being total ***** to me on the phone and acting like im a total dipshit I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I can be a ******* ******* but I'm a nice guy for the most part and I don't know everything there is to know about FD's but im not a idiot. Anyway I didnt wan't anymore of my money going to them if they can not treat their customers with basic human decency. Their parts are top notch no arguing that.

Also made a interesting find, So my wastegate has always seemed to have a bit of a leak but it held boost consistently at 13lbs so i never really cared. I pulled my WG off a week before I was going to tune just to see what was up plus i need to make the car not so loud. To my surprise my WG didn't have a fire ring at all lol. So the small leak was because the plunger wasnt completely sealing. I figured the spring was weak not that it didn't have the fire ring at all. So I called up Apexi and of course they didn't have any but Jun at Apexi called a ton of people and was VERY VERY pleasing to work with (Apexi hasn't made my WG in years so I wasn't surprized by this). So plan B I called my friend Camden that worked in a Machine shop and had the fire ring/flange made. Now it seals 100% and has quited the car down at idle alot.



The plan now is to finish a few quick things on my car and then help DereK King to pull and get a new motor in his car in 5 days SR/KA-t swap. His car was 100% until this weekend and alittle on ramp excursion caused him to blow another motor . As of now Fort Wayne has blown 4 motors from ZEROLIFT in less than 10miles (zerolift also did the tuning)

 

The real story is that you wanted a map loaded up on to your PFC and were planning on tuning it yourself. When Elaine told you that we do not sell maps, you slammed the phone down on her, then called back a few minutes later asking to talk to me. I happened to be busy with a customer. This was all after you had called a few months ago wanting to have your car tuned, but never bothered to actually schedule it.

You asked if we sell datalogits, we don't. You asked if we sell OEM map sensors and Elaine told you she would give you Ray at Malloys number, this was all after you had slammed the phone down on her. So who exactly was being the "****"?

You did not buy the PFC or MAP sensor from us, and we have never tuned the car. So you are correct, your car may be running "no thanks to Banzai" but you can add a long list of other shops to that list that have never tuned your car.

Do not call our shop again.

 

seems like banzai has this same issue over and over again.
its getting hard to believe that so many people are jerks to banzai when they need something.
you guys run a shop that deals with the general public. stop arguing with them/us.

 

Who are you supposed to be? Another person we would not give free tuning to over the phone? Or not sell something to you that we do not have for sale? That is correct we do run a shop not a charity. You want to make statements like this you better be prepared to back them up with proof.

Summit heart is trying to pretend that he brought his car to our shop, we charged him and never got his car running. WE HAVE NEVER WORKED ON HIS CAR WHILE HE HAS OWNED IT!! We did work on it for the previous owner 7-8 years ago, and it did leave our shop running back then.

 

All of the times I have dealt with banzai they have been very courteous and respectful; however I was courteous and respectful to them as well. If I ordered something from them and it was not in stock they promptly e mailed me and asked what I wanted to do. They are an a+ business in my book.

I even got a Christmas card from them.

 

i get christmas cards and mouse pads from them too. i dont think ive ever dealt with them over the phone but have seen them get quite combative on here numerous times.

who am i supposed to be? really? im a guy that sends you money. im one of the reasons you have a job and are able to make a living doing what you love. thanks for the courtesy

 

You are the one that wants to make statements without any proof which makes you combative and uninformed. Sticking your .02 cents in on this thread only solidifies this. Show me a "combative" thread that was not warranted, either a DIY'er that wanted to argue or a non-customer complaining that we would not sell them something that we do not offer for sale.

We have every right to stick up for ourselves against any person that wants to post something negative about us. Proving someone wrong in public may be perceived as "bad customer service" by a few, so be it. The forum is not a place to post lies without repercussions.

 

What probably happend is, He wanted you to load a base map (Not for free) and you didnt want to do that because you knew he was going to tune it. I dont know why you are downing the DIY ers, Im sure at one time you were one. Also if you have a good customer base that is happy with your work, why post in this thread too defend your self. If your doing good work and your customers think your doing good work then you dont need to defend yourself in a drifting thread. We drifters are known to be some cheap bitches. We are all DIY ers.
