I can understand if your car was still in the Former MRC shop, but its at another shop so how is that going to hurt you?? I know you wouldnt wanna shoot yourself in the foot if it was still being worked on by them.. But it isnt

Just give him time, you'll see eventually. Hopefully you won't see high 8's a/f ratio because you don't have temp corrections set in your map or be threatened with lawsuits and being turned into the authorities for 'fraud'

So what is this thread point? Are you really watch out for us?? or you trying to get something out of it?

OP, you are putting down 600whp with buildmotor/powerlab kit, and i think it has been 4~5 months since you picked up the car?. It's just suprised me that you never look over untill now....

This is a fail attempt to bash a shop. I have many many happy customers. We finished up your car LAST. We made everything right, i gave you money off the final bill to compensate for it taking a while. The car hauls a$$ and will for a long time.


First of all, your pictures you posted up.


The first picture shows your alarm that was previously installed before you brought us the car. Look at old pictures, WE didnt touch it or move it.

The intercooler bolts are ALSO the same bolts that hold the bottom of the bumper on. Remember the bolts that you took off first on the bottom of your bumper on the brackets. Well, its crazy, that they are actually the same bolts. So, ill explain it a little more for ya. When you removed the bolts for your bracket, they are the same ones that hold the bottom of the intercooler.


All the rest are simply pictures of strapped up lines from the windshield washer fluid reservoir that no longer is there due to the powerlab kit.The worn through hoses were probably worn through because of the car being dumped on the ground and taking out the inner liner. Those are windshield washer hoses that run over top of the tire.


Please come correct when you are going to bash a shop, this is a horrible attempt.

I don't understand how you (Joe) can be unhappy with your (sons) build (or maybe I do, since done this and cut your ties from every Z shop on the east coast). I thought you were cool with everything - never seemed like you had any issues with your Build from PF.

I know I don't have to tell you this, but your car makes 600+ on pump gas, almost 700 on race with more on tap. Your Z runs very very well - its been making sick power for a while now. Maybe you had some issues with the clutch, but that was Specs responsibility (and as they should have, they covered it).

If you have minor concerns, like those which you've posted, it is often more effective to work with the shop that built your car - bashing (usually)doesn't get you anywhere. And when you have nothing worthwhile to criticize, but feel like bashing anyway, it just goes to show what kind of customer you are (to us, other vendors, and members as well).

When kits don't come with washer bottles, customers may want one in the future (I don't know about you, but I don't like to drive with dirty windshields). So it proves useful to leave components on the car for future use.

If you didn't want your washer bottle remains, why not say "Hey Jeremy, I'm never going to run a washer bottle, I don't really drive my car. Please remove the remnants." We would have been more than happy to remove them for you.

"Accommodating" does not do Jeremy's service justice. We/Jeremy, did not and would not have hesitated to address your minor concerns. We want you to be content with your vehicle - that is the overall goal. At this point, however, it is an impossible task.

( And Just to let you know, a 700+ HP Z doesn't drive, sound, or feel like a stock car. Sorry.)

Clint first of all you have no idea what we went through with this build ,and Jeremy if I wanted to bash you I could write a 2 page post on what we went through so lets just leave it that all I am saying is the work was pretty sloppy kinda like your shop was. The intercooler bolts do not hold the bumper on ***, and there is no old alarm .
