EIP is gone. However, Paul has his own shop now. He's tuned my car a couple of times. Great tuner compared to the shitty tunes that ZCG offers(personal experience).

Downside at the moment is that he is really picky about tunning random cars.

GLUCK!

I think Paul and Sean have about the same time experience on tunning cars. Specially Evos.

Fftec has tuned the fastest evos in the area tho.

I like paul as well, i got my car tuned there originally.

Technosquare is no more from the thread in the Engine section, I believe Tadashi went back to Japan.

I believe it to all his/her own to the garage, person, etc. that they like as to tunes, upgrades, mods, etc. But it would be nice not to put down other shops in the process. I have use a couple of shops, and "one" I would not go to again, but I was greatly satisfied with "ZCG" on the latest as my personal experience. I won't say which one was a sad day, as again that's not the subject of discussion here, but I believe all should experience for themselves. Subject is what happened to "Paul", which sounds like he has to be pretty great at his profession. And it sounds to me here, he's done some excellent work on some cars, now that's what good to hear. That's my .02 worth.

Tadashi didn't die, he went back to Japan like was mentioned. I think the owner, an older guy, died though. I don't remember exactly but I know someone high up in their company did.
