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.
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!

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

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.
