CINCINNATI SCENE BLOWS HARD

The tuning shops around here have ripped me off so bad , i have lost all interest in tuning building 4cyl hondas . Honda tuning is a joke, I spent more than 5000 putting a 2.0 liter vtec motor for my crx from totle performance racing , they gave me a car that would barely run, and told this was normal!!! so i went to raceline , they keep my car for 6 months and did nothing but charge me . They said the car was fine but the tranny started poping out of 5th on the way home so it has sat ever since. I want out someone PLEASE buy this thing i will sell it for 1000 less than i put in the engine. 4000 for nice crxsi , new tein coilovers, new dc header, new skunk2 2 catback 17 tenzo wheels and tires. OR MAKE SEPERATE OFFER ON PARTS p.s ZEROLIFt may be a decent company i have never used them

Right, you've got to make sure that the shop is reputable befor eyou spend gobs of money with them. Start wrenching, you'll find that a lot of things to repair on your vehicle may be easier than you ever thought,

Don't sell it. Explain the problems and I'm sure people can help you get the work done.

Re: CINCINNATI SCENE BLOWS HARD (harmonator84)

Thanks for all of your feedback. I wish i could spend more time/money on this car, but i just cant. I am going to sell it to the first guy i find whos looking for a deal. 2 years 13,500 and approximatly 100 hours of labor and i still have yet to turn 50 miles on the odometer. I just dont have the patients for this. I feel like even if i ask 3000 for this i wont get it . I guess i could sue trp and raceline but that will cost more money i dont have. IS EBAY A WASTE OF TIME? SHOULD I JUST part this out?

If you are in cincinnati, Use zero-lift.

TPR and raceline WILL CAUSE HEADACHES.
