Exactly how I feel. I want to write Speed a letter telling them we need more shows like SCR and less tuner crap. I've always liked two guys garage, I'm glad they are doing the import thing now too. Very cool! He said that if he heard anybody say yo, he was gonna lose it, and that this is not a tuner show. He kept stressing to mod your car and get to a track event. He gets two thumbs up for that.

How do you like the Kia vs. Porsche? Do you think the porsche will make a good daily driver......I wonder

Those crazy Canucks can't tune ****. Give them a hockey stick or a beer or something... Probably better at tuning a moose than a car...

Those graphics... those wheels... WTF??? If I was that kid, I would be PISSED. For the one positive, that NX kit made a HUGE gain (170 whp to 220 whp, 130 w/tq to 210 w/tq), but I don't know how that rotary will hold up.

The second show was better - I liked the STi test (even though I wish it had been an Evo). I am surprised Speed had to go north of the border to do sport-compact/racing-type shows. There are 100 shops in SoCal that would do a better job.

I "dooubt" I will watch the tuner crap again. I even postponed my run to watch that crap... What next? Now we tune the Evo, eh, we'll put a K&N filter and a neon kit on it...

I wathed SPC revolution, and enjoyed it. Missed the other thing, sounds like the modded an RX-8 eh? Well, sounds like ****, just like Hi Revs Tuners was. Super2NR tv is't as bad though, they can get really technical sometimes.

I applied to have my lancer done but i think i will have done more to my car by the time you read this then you would have done had you pick my car.

This is an E-mail i sent them hopefully it will help then see how weak the show is. I thought we were going to see a big transformation but got a nothing instead.
