here are some pictures ... sorry for crappy cell phone pictures

these are some older ones windshield has been fixed






wastegate and what not was not finished in this picture



i know i know i have some wires to clean up...loll as well as the rest of the engine bay....

 

why drive all the way to florida when T1 is in state?

 

its about a 7 hour extra drive.... And i just want these guys to tune my car.... I know Tony is bad *** at what he does but These guys are the ones that are gonna tune my car.... I will end up spending the same and or less money going to Florida and i get a mini vactation out of it

 

I can't tell which pic is first or last but I hope you didn't leave the braided oil feed line behind the timing belt... that's a snapped belt waiting to happen.

Good luck!

P.S. You're nuts for driving that far away from one of the best tuners in the country much less your own state.

 

yes the oil line has been moved lol..... and cft is good at what they do also.... i couldnt afford tony im short by at least 400 dollars for tony to tune its cheaper for me to go to cft and i really like their work not that i dont like tonys.... he gave a friend of mine two flawless tunes

 

you cant afford tony to tune your car, but your gonna spend all that money on gas to drive to florida? there isnt anything wrong with cft, but t1 is just way closer.

 

total trip cost to cft about 750 dollars

total trip to t1 about 900 dollars....

 

its all about the quality you can afford, so it shouldnt matter,..dont think tony is down for cash plus monopoly money to fill the deficit void.

 

I have exactly enough money to go to florida have them tune car and come back.... im short about two hundred dollars for tony .... i know its only a couple hundred dollars but i just dont have it nor can i spend any more money on this project... having two kids and being a single parent i just cant do it... and the price of cfts tune is what makes it possible for me to get tuned by them and be able to drive their also. It is what it is nothing i can do about it.... Both shops are bad ****

 

ya I dont think tony would let me pass go Ha ha

 

hell your lucky if he gives you free parking

 

I would have to say, I would have recommended T1

 

better lock your **** up man, lots of thieves in orlando waiting on nice honda to come around...

 

Damn, and I used to think driving 5 hours to the dyno was alot (that was the only option).

So since you only have exactly enough for the minimum, what is your plan if things go wrong?? What if you need to buy parts while your there?? Or you break and have to drive all the way back with nothing (or tow vehicle breaks down)?? I would never go to the dyno without at least a few hundred extra for parts/problems, let alone driving 13 hours or whatever.

Good luck, it just does not seem like a good plan on a short budget.

 

this is why i am going to cft.... i have a little back up money not much but enough....

 

But the money you would save by going to Tony instead of driving 1700 miles would be about the same.

 

Ok..... got an appointment with t1 wed.

 

good choice would suck to have a issue in fl and or have **** stolen down there and noway home lol.

 

I think he said that just to shut people up lol

 

That means omar has more time for the boat...... thanks!!!

 

boat?

 

{ appreciate the guys at cft and how they were gonna help me out but agter thinking about it.... it would be nice to have local support if i ever neet to change anything..... that way im not stuck going to florida for retune and what not just go see tony

 

ya your right since tony could easily see this thread and make me look stupid if i didnt have an appointment with him?

 

i would deff recommended T1! You made a good choice. T1 and all the guys that work there are awesome too! great customer service!

 

If I could save a little extra money I would drive to T1.
Or hell even miller.
I was gonna go to CFT, but orlando just isnt a great place to have a nice car around.
