im not saying eric did good or bad work, eric knows his shit and knows it well. what im saying is this isnt happening anymore, our staff has changed and we all give a shit of whats going on now and we dont let things like this happen. the work that has come out of here lately is very well done, professional and every customer has been satisfied and we are working very hard to build a good reputation.

Shouldnt this have been the case since day ONE ?? I'm in no way saying every shop is perfect, but making claims of this nature you better be ready to back it up.

On a serious note, both PZ and Tuan ( td-civ ) have worked on my car and I have yet to have any problems. So enough will all the hate towards both of these people/shops.

Either way i would never take my car to a shop called

Point Zero Autosound

then they all of a sudden say they do swaps and tuning etc. i thought this shop was only audio/video, then they started playing around saying they can do swaps and doing hack jobs.

but then some shops like BAC Autobody at least John is honest. when i went in there once he even told me they do more body but he has a mechanic that comes in and helps them do the work.

just my 2 cents

No leave it open, let people express themselves.

I personnaly don't mind point zero, i wouldn't take my stuff there cause i do it myself, and their prices are through the roof for parts. But Will knows his shit pretty good.

Eric still does work on his own, good work from all that I have seen. The del sol was shit cause his tools and equipment was shit, and this was before the K swap was a common thing.

Tuan on the other hand, I have heard some shit about a spoon motor eg he has been building for like 4 years. Have seen some good stuff though from him.

LEAVE THIS THREAD OPEN AND EVERYONE ADD THEIR OPINONS.

thats fine im not telling ppl to not come to you guys at all all i said that this car should of never left your shop the way the ower got it back the owner only drove it for like 30min and almost killed him self because the brakes didnt work

and for my car yes i do have a car with lot of spoon parts but it has not been out for over 4 years now because i dont have the money to finish the car and that i work on other ppls cars so i can save up to get the car done i really dont care if you ppl think im full of shit or not i have built alot of fast cars and till this day there still running strong and there very happy with my work and tell me to open up shop so thats why im building this car to show ppl what i can do and open up shop

this is the last thing im going to say and if everyone wants to keep on fighting about he say she say then fine all i got to say is grow up

I would never take my car to a shop that recomends running no fuel management on a N/a car converted to turbo.... saisan motors.

I've seen many hacks from John's shop and I've heard HORROR stories from other people.

You say you would never take your car to a autosound shop, but you would take it to an autobody shop?

A friend of mine got a swap there and Eric had to fix it as soon as it came out as the idle was 3000rpm. And I recently had to help him fix the rest of the hack job that BAC did and at the same time I connected the crap that was left undone and bolted down a 100% lose wiring harness as best as I could without getting to dirty (not my swap, not my problem).

oh i have never gotten anything done there nor will i but i am just stating the fact that he told me that he usually has a mechanic come in. where as pz its just a bunch of guys who are playing around in the back who think they know what they are doing.

Yes I am that fag, but your mom dosen't think Im gay. I could go off on you and saisan motors and start a huge argument but I dont even want to. Do you work at saisan or are you just a customer? Because maybee you shouldn't talk that way about customers. I could say so much, do you want me to? Why would I buy something if you guys told me I didn't need it. Maybee you should have told me I needed an aem ems than you could have sold me one.

ouch... if that is how you talk to your customers then I can understand why he hasnt bought anything from you.

sure he made a statement you may not agree with but by callin him names and telling him to just f-off you've just shown your true colors and may have just scared people away from Sasian

are u kidding me!?????

fuck man,, if i was going to boost a car and spend thousands of dollars,, i will ask 10,000 questions, some might not even be irelavant to the turbo setup..

just because someone doesn't drop thousands of dollars the first visit doesn't make them a 'fag', and wants to know the workings of a turbo setup.

and thats what i hate about performance shops around town that think they are all high and mighty,

when i was younger i had the same problem with boomin car audio, trying to work out a good stereo and understand its workings, came in almost everyday, and in the end was treated like shit because i didn't buy anything and just asked questions. one week later i had a full setup done at natural sound

that comment right there is totaly making me steer clear of sasian motors man.. not cool man.. not cool at all

Dude I don't even know you and ive never talked to you before/ or I dont know what you look like. Why are you bashing me?

Don't get me started. The first two times I came in I was asking a few tuning questions because I thought saisan was a turbo shop, but instead of getting many answers, I just got the idea that i should run no fuel management..? I guess saisan wasn't intrested in helping me figure it out because I didn't own a 240sx.

The last couple times I came in I was intrested in the shops used turbos and intercoolers. The last time I was there, I did end up buying a used IC. Turboing your car properly is expensive and Im not made of money. These things take time.

Ive only been in the shop 5 or 6 times, surely you wern't there everytime I was there. Since you don't work there.

When you swap and turbo an Accent there is alot of tunning questions that need answering. Outside of korea there hasn't been many more than 20 cars like mine. Id like to see you do what Im doing... Have you ever turned a wrench before?
