Relax, he's just giving you his honest opinion. Just think you could sell all that stuff and buy some more fancy stuff for your car

20grockit, and that is exactly why I don't bother wasting my time telling someone that their combination sucks anymore. YOU ASKED ME TO TELL YOU. I was not trying to make you look or feel like an idiot. YOU ASKED ME. I stated the facts. I don't beat around the bush, I tell it like it is. Some like it, some don't. I didn't set out to make you look or feel like an idiot as you say.

Over the last year or so I've kept my mouth shut more and more. If you call here and have a bunch of crap on your car I just let it be, answer the questions and suggest what's next. Anything more than that people get their panties in a bunch and accuse me of being a dick.

As I've said many times in the past, "Keep your screwed up combinations, it makes it easier for guys who follow what we suggest to shine and beat you."

Unreal, I am asked to come here and tell what's wrong with the car, I do that. I was right. Then I am asked why the combo is jacked. I do that. Now I am being threatened that since I was honest and did what was asked that no parts are going to be bough from me.............

I thought high school was over............

I wouldn't take that to personally, Buschur is just giving expert advise. You would also receive that Turbo faster, if you go through him. Remember, you asked.

i asked for an opinion not CRITICISM DAVID. thanks for your input by all means but i wasnt expecting you to be so harsh and down all the stuff i do have. i mean you couldve said like hey those aem gears arent the best you should upgrade. instead you basically said yeah they suck a$$ and it was a waste of your time and money. thanks for your input though man it is appreciated.

Profec B is a joke chunk it or sell it to a honda owner, gears can go id honestly just run stock then those. pulley is not good for you car either. basically everything David said he was 100% dead on the money.

of course he is. he builds some of the baddest damn cars out there. i love seeing all the cars he builds and the times and records he achieves. i personally like his stuff better than ams. no offense to ams at all. theyre just a little to overpriced to me on their turbo kits and stuff. the profec is long gone once i finish the block build. i appreciate all your input as well there kaonashi. david i apologize for gettin so furious over nothing as well. i just wasnt expecting that.
