Come on its easy.


Flat tire, Red light, miss shifts, dropped valves, broken trans, electrical issues all the tuners fault. The tuner should know better


I blame everything on the tuner...

Tuners surely don't have anything to do with dropped sleeves...

So it's the driver?? Or the parts manufacturers he is using??

I think they basically said what failed, bad shift/probably a 1-2-1 that bent the valves and hurt the tranny. Also sounds like the sleeves sunk so maybe bad machining.

I am guessing a few unlucky things happened that cost a lot to fix and they are probably fixing them now.

Hopefully the car will be back up and kicking butt soon.

Thank you for that summary...it would be nice to see all the hardwork pay off. I hate movies with shitty endings..

Tuners should raise all their prices in 2015 given the expanded responsibilities they now have...
