hehe i've seen the inside of his car...i was just messing around. i think his latest interior mod will probably be cooler than all my mods combined.

EDIT: to make sure my posts on this thread don't count as thread jacking, I'll give some input to the OP. F:T does great work and has excellent customer service. Even for something as small as a brake install, Dave makes sure you understand everything that is happening to your car each step of the way...and he makes sure you leave satisfied.

I don't have experience with any other shops...but after going to FT, I don't see a reason to.

FT all the way. Hell I live in texas now, but when I need tuning ill fly Dave out, or when I need work, ill ship him the car. If that doesn't say enough about the shop, then you need your head checked!

You guys kick @$$! Seriously, you've made this decision much easier for me. I just got off the phone with Dave about an hour ago...he really knows his stuff and seems to enjoy just explaining all the details to make sure you know what you're getting into...

I'll let you know how my FI story unfolds...

Thanks again all,
BM

Ive trusted my car with Dave, and he has helped me in some jams. Id go to him over AAM. I think most of us know the head tech at AAM is a really nice, honest guy (wtf is he doing at AAM?), his name is Frank, Ive seen his work its damn near perfect and very clean but going to that shop is not anoption for me. No fan boy crap here just speaking from experience.

I'd go to function tuned, but that's cause I live like 10 mins from there!! Seriously though function tuned does some great work. They even did work on my 1996 integra type R. A freakin sweet coilover installation by Juan!
