Default Found out my problem with the Lude

Well I finally found up whats up. Went to the shop that has my car with a dyno and well come to find out My head gasket is blown. They had the valve cover off and well you can see the coolant and other stuff. I ended up dropping off my cometic head gasket. I could have blown the hell out of my motor I spent 9500 bucks on the other shop to perform the work. Im thinking of taking them to court what do you guys think?

Yes they were quite rude and said its not their fault and their technicians know what they are doing. They did'nt hookup my greddy E manage and they left out the jackson racing black box. So pretty much they left me to dry. 6 month of no lude hurts.. When I picked up the car they said it needs to be dyno tuned. When I took it to the other shop they said no amount of tuning would help it. The tech walked me through everything he is doing and explaining. For the other shop they took my money and ran.

Man, that blows. Sue those *******!

This is another reason why I left Honda and rarely mod my car. It's a money pit with shady businesses all around.

Good Luck on the legal battle.

How's the strut bars doing?

All shops are bad my mom took her car in to get a free oil change that came with her car and the damn dealership forgot to put oil in it. She always checks her oil after an oil change just for that reason. She said it wasnt the first time that happened. I dont know how you could work on cars for a living and screw people over daily.

I remember when he first signed on HT, his paint was like 3 different colors. (show car paint). But I believe he got it repainted after a few responses from the HT guys.

Judging from what I've heard and seen, this guy's a friggin baller! Or just work's his *** off like me.

So Doug, what up mang!? AIM problems eh? Catch you later, I'm off work.
