4 days, 4 hours. As long as he doesn't do anything else between now and then.

I think a lot of people are jumping the gun here. Jeremy and Craig can settle their own issues. I consider both friends, and wouldn't jump on either persons side.

Obviously something happened, and no one knows what exactly beyond Craig and Jeremy. I know a lot of people here don't like Craig and would quickly look for a chance to jump on his ****.

First off, you did a great job taking care of Craig, and even though you lost money on this deal, I think a lot of people will think of you in a very positive light (not that they thought of you negatively before). Also, I give you props for being so ambitious and taking on this job, because there was really no guarantee of this working, and personally, from a customer's standpoint, it would kill me to wait this long for my car, but I think all will turn out well in the end.

Yeah I agree, honestly, I think it was slightly uncool of JT to discuss this while Craig is (unfortunately) banned.

well i didnt know craig was banned still when i posted this up. i thought his ban ended on last friday or something.

my intent was not to call craig out or make him look bad but more just to show everyone ALL the hard work that has been put into it so the jokes of when it will be done will stop.

being a little frustrated about hearing about what he was saying was also the point that brought me to posting this. this isnt an oppertunity to jump on craig or kick him while he is down. i just sick of hearing about the whole situation.

Shop's pricing seems to be a big issue here, too. What I pay for parts or to have work done is between me and my shop, and is really no one else's business. Plus, modifying cars is an extraneous luxury at best, so if you feel like its too much, then don't do it.

that makes no sense. not the part about knowing he was banned, but your intentions in posting that. Just be honest: you have every right to post what you want, no need to qualify your statements.

You heard craig was talking bad about you and your project and you wanted to be clear on your side of the story. You were not bashing him persay/

What I was trying to communicate was that if someone posts up their car that has a built motor, TT's, the works basically, and I see that they had the work performed at a certain shop that I think is overpriced, I'm not gonna go in the thread and say, "Hey, nice setup, but you do know you got ripped off right?". **** it, its not any of my business at all, and as long as that person is enjoying their car, then there is no problem.

This thread needs to be closed, the whole story has been told.
No need for any FI drama.

I'm leaving it open so Craig can post once he gets his car back and is allowed to post again. He can post how the car feels to him. Kinda be messed up to close the thread and not even get to hear what the owner thinks about the finished product.

I wasn't talking about your original post man. I thought that was fine. I just thought the whole judas thing and all that other stuff that came after from some other folks was a little over the top. You were trying to set the record strait.

no disrespect to Matt because i know he is policing this thread and keepign a cool head..

you think QuickSilver, Romey, GMan, myself and others have no right to say what we said to Craig?

i know you guys.. you and Jamez are just recently FI so you don't know the history.. but basically Craig told all of us that we waste our money and we have overpriced cars that underperform... he told Rome and I that we sck dick for 500 whp.. he told Rome that he spent a whole bunch of money and can only make 450 whp.. he told Julian that he is an over priced mediocore tuner..

Craig laughed at us and said we wasted our money, when all along he was getting hook ups from JT? come on man.. don't tell me the judas thing and our comments are taking it too far because you wern't here when he was talking ****

we are not here to stir things up.. we are here to give our opinions on the situation and how it has affected us

I am recently FI, that is true. However, I am on the this forum ALOT, and always reading, in fact, the FI section is my homepage, so not much gets by me. I know Craig has stirred $hit up here from time to time. Rome ended up getting the last laugh (maybe ) when he told everyone is Chris' thread that he had substantially more than he had initially let on. I know that he has done his fair share of ****-talking in the past, but there are a few others who come to mind when I think of ****-talking also.

There is always bound to be drama between people, and shops in the FI, but I think fanning the flames is not always the best idea, especially when the person in question is banned.

I also want to add that I'm not taking any sides here at all. I don't really care one way or the other about PF/turbonetics/ST's in general or any of that.
