Friendly.

Oh and this is for Mr.A.......
-You should have never stepped into my shop three years ago and ask me to build your first track Z.
-You shouldnt have tried to slap all your VRT stickers on it and tell everyone you built it.
-You should have never gone behind my back and steal my resources and connections.
-You should have never went behind my back and hired some of my employees to come do side jobs for you.
-You should have never approached me after all of this to try and knock off Jim Wolfs turbo kit. You should have never pm'd all of our customers pursuadng them to take their cars to VRT.
-You should have never stopped by to brag about all your accomplishments even though I knew it was all crap.
-You see Mike, I know more then you will ever know when it comes to building and tuning cars.

Am I the only one that sees this car:
Unless I'm mistaken that is Sport Compact Car's Project 350Z that Mike said he was going to be building for them a while back. That would be this car:

Are they SERIOUSLY building that car under a F@CKING CAR PORT!!!! I hope the editor sees this. I cannot believe ANYONE would do that to ANYONE ELSE'S car but to a Magazine Project car no less. Boy I wonder what the editor is going to say.

Nice RECON job to Tim and the all the guys at SFR. Good to see that jacked-up shops get theirs in due time. Tim, if I may ask, what other sponsors/shops are part of this alliance to get VRT out? Just asking, that way we all know what shops are good to go and are reliable. BTW, the exhaust you guys did sounds and works perfect, thanks again...OJ.

I won't even change my spark plugs in my car port (I bum garage space from a friend if I have too) and forget building a car for a magazine. I think Tim was dead right to post these pictures. This is out of control, illegal, and downright shameful. I sincerely hope SCC sees this and does something about it. For Christ's sake the car is sitting outside with NO HOOD exposed to the elements. Not even a car cover. And what, they are going to build the car in a CAR PORT!!!!

I then saw something to that effect written in the next months mag. I'm not sure if you are familiar with VRT's reputation in the 350Z world but I would like to say its far less then stellar. Today some pictures of what I believe is project 350Z were posted on this forum. I thought I might share them with you as you can clearly see from these that your car is being kept hood open, engine bay empty, in the wide open and your car is being assembled in a car port. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Please visit this link: https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/291309-pics-of-vrt-working-out-of-mikes-house-7.html
