Kevin, I hope your marriage vacation was nice and relaxing but like good Soldiers, it's time to get back to work, EVO work that is. Do you think you can squeeze me in for a custom street tune as I plan on doing the E85 conversion as a gift before I have to leave for Iraq. Someone mentioned getting it done via Jster mail-in but I do not want to take that kind of risk.

evo work

KevinD finished my belt change/cam job with a tune. his work was excellent, and that street tune was WILD...but i won't go back until he gives me my hat and T-shirt, you know, like Disneyland..."I got tuned and tooted by KevinD" with a picture of Kevin in a Vega...sorry, pff subject...
MZM quoted me POSSIBILY 10+ hours and they wouldn't commit to even that as a quote. and they said it would be a three week job. the head was off, it had been cleaned up and ported, and i had all the parts so i was cutting into that profit margin. i don't think they wanted the job so the crazy quote, if you can call it that, was a brush-off.

HAHAHA Kevin and I are having a hard enough time to get stickers made, let alone shirts and hats maybe soon......
I spent 6 months trying to buy stickers from my so-called sticker guy.... and well it turns out he didnt want to spend $100 on a new cutting blade..... go figure!
