TS John Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 People have said you get what you pay for a lot in this thread, but I stand by how I put it: You get no more than what you pay for. The internet is full of scam artists. Just cuz you pay 800 bucks doesn't mean it's worth that. It could very well be worth much less. You gotta pay the quality guaranteeing price if you want quality guaranteed to you. As far as people "ragging on" other people for making poor decisions with their cars, I honestly think it's pretty justified. Tough love. Why would you not want advice from more experienced people than you? Sometimes it takes some harshness to pull someone away from an idea they're set on. And the last thing we want to see is an HF reg making a stupid decision with his baby and blowing it up. We're looking out for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I just bought a Greddy kit for my car. [i have a D16Z6]. It's not a bad kit, but it wasn't the best one I could have gotten. I wanted something on the cheaper end for now, just to see how the car would handle, being on boost. So far, so good. I'll eventually upgrade. Anyway, my point being, do your research before putting anything into your car. It's best to research, wait and then decide. All good things come to those who wait.

TS John Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nice threadjack, n00bs, haha. Cranny, where do you get all these people that want you to do these things for them? When are you going to leave your job and open your own shop. If you haven't done it by the time my friends open their shop I am going to recruit you. Be warned. You have 2-3 years.

Hey....what better way to advertise your skill and quality than buy having a K swapped civic. I bet that will come in handy if anybody ever questions the quality of your work. I'll let you do a k swap in my car (for free) so you can have some free advertising in the Missouri area. I wouldn't offer that to anybody, but you're a pretty cool guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ben, do you do trucks too? I know this is off-topic people, but whatever! Do I do trucks too? What, like modification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lceah Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 sorry I wasn't clear...I mean truck/semi-trailer...the ones that carry food and such so they need AC...and they have "stops" all throughout the country...I've seen stops here in Cali on the way to Arizona...they break down and the food goes bad too because of it...or just complications...like, I think, if they stick the food packages too far and doesn't have room in between the walls and the food... lol I'm still not clear...but you get what I'm wondering: do you want to/do fix those too?

Ben. Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 OH, like trailer chillers and all that. No we don't really work on those too often. We occasionally get one to tune up but it's generally off of the trailer by which point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
