Why dont you ask how many people from this board have come down to the shop to have their cars worked on, Dyno tuned, swaps, builds... We used to be at 832 W. Williamson in Fullerton but have since moved out of that location... We are no longer a labor type operation so we didnt require a facility with lifts and what not... We are now looking for wharehouse/office space in the anaheim/fullerton area... We have a few months before the IB Spec line is released as a whole so we are being patient and waiting til we find a location that we feel is right for us... As much as you would like to think otherwise IB is the real deal... Come to Pamona this weekend, the amount of cars running our parts/motors or tuned by us is overwelming.

I'm not letting you off the hook that easy. Name the SPECIFIC RACERS (professional or amateur) that will be there representing your company. Don't give me any of the secret BS, just name the names, if you can. If you want to disclose which of your parts they are using, that would be great. I will make my buying decisions based on your answers and their results.

you'd think that by now with all of the years of experience and claims that IB has made that they would have a two page list of over 40 racers.

The registry is just something we started this week, weve only put up those who have listed their times and set ups within that time...

you can check this out...

a tone of dyno sheets on there...

Go to pamona this weekend, the amount of cars runnin our parts/motors is seriously overwelming...

Why dont you ask and see how many people out there have gotten their parts from us, have bought our pistons, had their motors built by us, tuning by us...

yeah, i have 2 very good friends who spent over $10k each with IB and neither of them were very happy. I'm not gonna get into names and circumstances but with that amount of money spent it just surprises me the things that happened.

Cmon...we just started that registry. It takes time gathering the names, times, specs, etc.

Pomona should be a good outing

lol,
I see what you are saying, I just thought b19coupe was mentioning above in his post as if it had been there for a while and we all were in the dark.

BUT you guys should not keep your results in the dark as much as you do anyways. I'm glad you're starting to open up and at least let the public know who used your products and what they were able to get out of them too, it'll be a great day when we consumers dont have to decide who's seller-propoganda to believe.

Actually, please do name names... I know every single customer thats spent that much with us, talked to them several times each and if they were in so'cal have hung out with them several times... So Id like to see who it is you know?

On all of our motor packages weve had pretty much nothing but very staisfied customers.

sorry, not gonna name names. They're not in socal either. I'm not gonna bring there name into this because I haven't talked with them about it and it's not my place to bring up there names. But I did think it was my place to say that IB has had some major fuckups when it comes to customer service and good business practice. Maybe you did talk to them but I do know they're not happy customers. Needless to say I won't be buying anything from you guys anytime soon.
