Akuma Motorsports-FWIW.beware
stop trying to sound like your the goody good guy and you took off tax and charged me for the tune, you tried to scam me ok and it didnt work.period. i hope people see this and wont do business with you
Hmmm what I gather is this guy or a buddy changeing name and being butt hurt cause his car is ****ed up. Sounds an awful lot like this guy too does it not?

If it were me would I be pissed? Sure I would, but thats not to come on the the forums without anything being resolved and bash a company because something was afoul with your car from the beginning. If I take my car to someplace to have it tuned and they tell me dude something isn't right I am taking the car home to find out wtf is wrong with it instead of going and blowing it up. And honestly I call bs on all of this. Map is looking into the other motor, so we will see what is the deal. Acuma said they would fix the thing if it was something they did and that by me states that they are gonna take action to do what is right to get the issue fixed.

So if that is exactly what he is tring to do then why didn't you rebuild the motor yourself instead of having a shop do it? It is easy to point fingers when you obviously don't know nothing about what is actually going on. You took your car to another shop for what? Guy told you the motor seems tired? If a tuner told me that the exact words out of my mouth would be " ok well what are we looking at to claim its tired?" After he showed me his evidence that maybe he is right I would have pulled the motor out and rebuilt it myself instead of taking it to a shop where they want business and oh sure lets do a motor swap which will be x thousands of dollars. To me your sounding ingnorant in not taking proper steps. I am sure I will get well your a hater, I don't have the time or money, or some other bull **** excuse for not doing what needed to be done. Instead you took the way out. Your ignorance of taking it to another shop and then having them do whatever they did tells me you obviously have no clue what was goin on.
why would i rebuild a motor myself when i already said idk much about these cars. you make no sense curse. bc i actually trust the other shop i brought it to. u obviously havent hit the real world yet
No your right I have no idea what I am talking about. Like I said if I took my car to a shop, had them dyno it or whatever and they told me something isn't right I would ask them why would think there would be something wrong? It is common since. I know from real world experience that not alot of people have common since. If Akuma had reason to believe there may have been a problem then if your car is already there, wouldn't common since say hey lets find out whats wrong before we continue. You said so yourself you don't know much about the cars. Well its already at a shop why not have them look at it. I don't buy cause iI dont rrust them either. If you didn't trust them then why the **** is your car there being tuned? Does this make any since to anyone else but me?
And here is some food for thought. You don't know much about these cars but yet your gonna trust a shop who does what? Take your money because your a sucker and realizes hey he thinks theres something wrong with his car. Yes sir you have a problem your motor needs to be rebuilt. It is gonna cost you 4k total we will let you get the motor from MAP. So you spent 2500 from Map for a 2.4 or 3200 pending on which motor you bought and then your shop that you trust installed it and its in pieces and now back at MAP. And I am not in the real world?

OP how old are you? You're definitely coming across as immature. Regardless of who's right or wrong, there is a better way to handle it. This could also serve as a reminder to both parties: EMAIL. If this were documented in writing, then it would have substance rather than a he said/she said game. C.Y.A. People...
hey john u think its common sense to do a compression test before you do that to someones car? your exact answer, "it was necessary, the car only had 36 miles on it" just admit what you did or the intention that you had. i play with liars like you all day so your no prize
Really? Some young punk talks **** about a reptuable shop, because he is to stupid to take proper measures in makeing sure his car is in proper working order. I can see if he would have done a boost leak test before he put the pos on the dyno. I have no ties to this company but I think I can speak for the rest of us by saying you ****ed up, your tring to blame a reptuable shop to get them to fix what you ****ed up from the beginning. Being you said so yourself you don't have the money to fix it. You ****ed up by waiting a month or however long it took, then you didn't even call the guy to tell them there was a problem till you took it to the other shop, then on top of that you expect this gentlemens shop to pay for it. I smell SCAM. Honestly I hope MAP chimes in and says yep motor was fine whoever instealled the motor was a retard and sends your stupid *** the bill.
I wouldn't say that being I obviously don't know what the real world is. I am sure he thinks its a t.v. show on mtv. Another reason to take shows like Jersey Shore off tv being this is how kids act and I think it is starting to show.
Also I'm not sure why you expect to get a discount or not charged because you didn't get fully tuned etc. Any shop that put several hours into working, tuning diagnosing an issue is going to charge the standard 75-100hr rate. Mechanics and tuners don't work for free. Personally I would hope if I took my car to a tuner and he was going about his business tuning my car when he noticed a loss in power or something weird to signal a mechanical issue he would stop. (Just as John did)
Now at that point he should have (If he didn't) call you up and say hey you car is acting like there is a problem and you have 2 choices A: you can come get it and take it to a mechanic because I'm not tuning a car that could be broken B: I can use my mechanic here to diagnose the issue to see if it's a failure or something else.
Which kind of sounds like what he did, and totally understandable that if he spent time on your car looking for an issue via leak down or compression test you should be expected to pay for those services. Now as far as the inconclusive test goes, whats to say the other shop was right? I've seen plenty of shops **** up a leak down / compression test (Frightening I know)
Personally reading this I think I would be more likely to take my car to Akuma, some other shops would have just dropped the hammer down and said "Well guess you need a new motor" John STOPPED then called you, and in the end your motor might still be good. How is that a bad thing?

It is a bad thing to them because he is tring to get something for nothing and obviously as you were reading he is bashing a company that tried to do a good thing in telling him his motor didn't seem that it was putting out what it should be and that maybe there is a problem.
