JAPTRIX For SAA3
 

I took a trip over to Japtrix today to check the place out and meet Roger the Owner and Talk with Nate the mechanic about the work I needed done. Mano a mano is the way I like to do business. This is the new Japtrix! There was recently a split among the owners and now the business is Rogers responsibility.

1st impression. The shop was really clean and organized. One thumb up there. :thumbup: The cleanest I have seen. Nate was personable and smart guy and discussed everything in depth I needed to discuss with him. I met Roger briefly. Seemd nice and seemed confident I dropped the car off at the right place and made me feel comfortable about it.

For those that don't know... I don't use shops anymore. A lot of sloppy work has been done on my car by every shop that I have been too bar none. I am still undoing the sloppy work that was done. Myself and Quadcam did all the work on my car with the rescent motor build and GTM turbo kit install. The car is at Japtrix for the FCON install on the new motor. The new motor should not have a single issue. It was built right by the machine shop and with the FCON there is not a reason in the world to believe that the ECU should have any part of killing this motor.

So I have done everything right up to this point. We'll see what Roger and Nate @ Japtrix can do for me. I'm looking for an initial 475WHP which is not alot to ask of this motor. It should run for a very long time with that power.

With any luck I will be back on track to the Redline Time Attack Series in the modified class terminating the cometition with extreme predjudice! :)

Saw you car up there.. looks good. Roger is def the man and Nate knows his S**T. Congrats on getting your motor done..

Thanks Zavage. If you sign up with CHIN motorsports maybe we can meet at Sebring on June 13th for some track time.

CHIN

thnkx for the link.. Imma check it out.. Im doing Sebring June 20th with NASA

Your in good hands with Roger and Nate. Your car looked hot when I saw it at the shop.

+1 :thumbup:

Good luck on your new build.......I know its been an up hill battle

Get 'em JET!!!
Looking forward to possibly hitting the new track up here in the NorthEast. Thunder Hill I believe is the name. Heard some good things about it already by my motorcycle buddies. Gotta get on board with the track time. The roads are too unsafe and littered with Police for cars with anything above 400 rwhp.
I need my license for my livelihood.

Good thing you don't need a drivers license to fly. LOL

Nice cant wait to see the outcome.

Roger and Nate are sooooo full of win! Japtrix is the only shop I have ever let
touch my car, and literally 50k miles later it runs stronger than the day I bought
it (ok, so maybe it has some NA mods). That said, Roger runs a tight ship and
has the best advice I've ever rec'd from a mechanic.

Jet - great choice, and hopefully they meet your standard of excellence - which
I have no doubt they will.

damn... CHIN loves some SEBRING..... niiiiiiiiiiice

Jet - i'm happy you feel we can do the work for you. your car is on the lift right now. I'm sure we will be able to meet your needs and make you happy. i can't wait to get this beast out there running hard.

Bump for results!

just so you don't miss her too much here is a pic I saw of her yesterday

Car looks awsome man.. Love the wheels.. We def gotta link up at a CHIN or NASA event. Cant wait to get the car back up their to ROGER for a few more things.. Did you see their NEW dyno setup? Def baller...lol..lol.. Whens the next time you plan on being back down this way?

Congrats on the build Jet!!!!!!! I cant wait to hear this beast going a million miles an hour. Im glad that I was able to help on something on that car. This time I do want a ride. Ill make sure to get some Huggies,lol.

You and Andrew have done some amazing work on that car. Maybe we can install my kit in the future????? LOL!!

In for the final results for sure, can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Thanks Gus!

Roger said they were going to start working on it on Thursday? :dunno:

Maybe its done and off the lift based on Gus's pic.;):dunno:

Jet, what all are you having them do ?

Car looks good. Hang in there.
