My car was tuned by Kasey, and he did a great job. After about 10-12 dyno runs on Taylor's dyno we had a nice tune with zero knocks. That was about a year and a half ago, and the car runs nice, in the winter and summer.

The clutch problem had nothing to do with Kasey in which is how the clutch got replaced... there was a defect in the product in which I bought. I never once brought any names in to the mix. I could always do such if need be... speaking of said install... think about the price that I would have had to pay for it... I came out of pocket so nothing was "free". Yes that someone did gain product from the company in return for fixing the problem. So where exactly is the free that you speak of. I know that you guys have had problems but come on man there are a ton of people that trust Kasey with their cars. How much did I come out of pocket for the car? Yes they did work for me... I didn't say they didnt... I never spoke bad against them... Did Todd tune my car no... I am very picky as to who touches my car... This is the exact reason why I don't post on this site... As far as I am aware I did post IMO at the beginning of the post... For those people that don't know that stands for: IN MY OPINION.

We really need to lighten the mood in this thread, it's getting a little out of hand.

I know some people on here dis-like one another, but lets all calm down a bit.

The reason we're all on this forum is because we drive or love Evos/Cars, their really shouldn't be any bad blood amongst anyone from old petty bull****.

But even so let's not have it carry into this thread, everyone's entitled to their opinion, let's all just try to express those opinions with respect.

Does it really matter if someone has a shop or not? Todd didn't always have a shop, but it didn't stop him from working on peoples cars. As far as I have heard and seen Kasey has always been very professional and very good at what he does. He did tune my car to a whopping 814 hp, nuff said, I think that speaks for itself. As far as remembering who done what for who, we should all remember who got most of our evos where they are today....Kasey. Even if he didn't build or tune the car you finished with now. When I first got my Evo everyone on this paticular forum recommended Kasey to me without even blinking, again I think it speaks for itself. He went a way for awhile but now is back and better for it. I for one am glad he is back. Matt your second post was exactly the way I feel as well, we all are in this for the same reason to have fun with our Evo's. But when things are said, people are gonna voice their opinion's. Anyway I was thinking of having a meet at my house in the next couple weeks, everyone is invited. We can cook out, have some brews, play some pool, air hockey, or pingpong. Also have a pool and jacuzzi as long as the weather stays warm. Some of you may want to give the road I live on a test drive. Blacksnake is the name, so figure it out. I will post up a date in the next couple of days, once I figure out my schedule.

Everyone starts out somewhere in the shop or not, but the guy asked for specifically a shop so i told him, kasey gets a shop then there will be two.
Back in the days kasey was not the only one who was helping us out with cars, we helped him out a lot in other things that i guess everyone just keeps forgetting about. Maybe we should leave shops or kasey out of these threads it wont get anyone here anywhere.

Don't make me break out more pics of you guys, I have plenty.

For the record, I trust both MLT and Kasey with my Evo, since I've had good experience with both. I like that MLT is an insured shop with great resources, at the same time Kasey stands behind his work and I trust him. I'm glad we have two good Evo resources in the Charlotte area.

I also know some shops that I wouldn't let within 100 feet of my car, but that's for another discussion.

Thanks, Timmy

I was hoping our efforts weren't in vain. It's true though, we are running a very professional operation here. Customer is number one and without you guys, a business has nothing. This is why we have put in a few 18 hour days recently. We promise a time on a customer car we stick to it.

We have tuned a lot of Evos these days. Sorry for our lack of posting results or even getting into conversations. We have been quite busy and when we're not posting, you can expect that we are working on your cars

Thanks agin,

Todd
