NY In and around town

Well for what it is worth we have 3 FC's and for the past two years we have done shows only but you may catch a glimpse of our 720+HP 1989 GTU while im on the way to my other job at the NAPA DC in Albany, but we are located between exit 14 and 15 on the north way in a small town called Greenwich Ny, 12834 is our ZIP. we will be holding a Dyno day sometime this spring as our Grand opening for the new shop which is in the final stage of brain storm just waiting for the snow to go away to finish building its not really worth hanging out in Albany due to "Gang" violence gun's are being brandished and people have been stabbed , assaulted its has got way out of control and the cops no longer let people sit in parking lots, There was a drunk guy showing off in a parking lot one time there was about 100 or so cars and he ended up putting his 99 lightning threw the front end of a staples knocking over registers and displays. That's what we have up here! one of the main causes we closed shop and moved up north more. but our shop rates are low and we are personal with friends we make working our there cars, fully DMV registered We hope to see you out and about in our travels also at our shows and cruises.

There will be a 1990 GTU coming for rebuild sometime around late spring from Mass. guy named Jay we have worked on Honda's to a Shelby Viper GTS , Grand National's, we don't discriminate we love working on cars especially if it just so happens to be a 7!

Interesting, I wonder if we've ever crossed path's. I'm kinda curious about the gang violence though. I know there was an issue with some people from Amsterdam a couple years ago. I missed the guy putting a Ford through Staples though. I assume you're talking about Central in the McD's parking lot, right? You have a dyno? Last year I went to Synapse and my brother tuned my car with help from Morgan. I'm gonna through it back on this spring and turn the boost up to ~20psi with water injection on my GT3582R. What do you charge for dyno time? I have everything for tuning already just need dyno time.

shop

We will have our dyno up and running when the new garage is finished sometime this spring it brakes into two separate rolling roads so I will be bringing one end with me to shows and events. Final pricing will be set upon grand opening of the new facility best guess around 3bills for a session knock 100+ or so off the few others around.

Yes the Central Ave Mcd's is where all this crap was happening also Wendy's across the road I have not been there in dam near 3 years lost interest.

I'll stay tuned for updates. Not sure who's pricing you're talking about but I didn't pay that much this past spring. What dyno are you setting up?

Unhappy price

SYN quoted a customer of mine $475 for a hondata run and tune he waited almost 2 months got his car there and they told him they wouldn't touch it . I wasn't there so I don't know who he talked to but he said he was offended and would never go there again and he was sorry. All our prices are rock bottom 45per hour 65per hour for fab. We like to work on cars were not doing this for money we do it cause we all love to wake up and build/work on cars and let our minds create what we can come up with trying to push the envelope.

Oh and i check out your progress good job nice FD maybe we will get together this season Ill let you see our shop beast 720+WHP FC

You sound like my kinda people, lol. I've never even seen such a bad *** RX7 before so I would love to check that out. My brother works for GE and wishes that he could leave and just work on cars all day long. I'd love to be able to come by and learn a few things. Do you have any experience with water injection? My brother is gonna put something together for me so we can turn my boost up to 20psi maybe even 23psi if it isn't pushing the turbo too hard.

Thumbs up boost :)

I have yet to do water injection on a car but I have been thinking about installing the snow-performance water/meth injection kit on our BA FC im going to look into it further asap and maybe contact snow to be a dealer possibly. We have big plans ahead and a lot on the table right this moment hopefully everything will start to fall in place asap.

Exclamation No one?

Really guys this is a killer deal 3-4 25min session on the track once with an instructor and in class training also pretty close to home at a 50million dollar race track come on lets get a caravan going **** 295 is less then the Richard petty driving experience and you have a speed limit there and a 50% chance of you not driving lol thats have some fun at this track anyone with me?
