Honestly, I could give 2 ****s what anyone else does with their car. I help people work on their cars quite a bit, I am not saying I am a god or even eluding to it, but I am a loyal friend, and I enjoy helping people out. The people that enjoy my company and I consider friends will attest to that. They also know I am not a nutswinger either...

So how did the clutch job go?

Word, i can attest to this. Freddie is a good friend of mine and good people. I agree with what he's saying. I can understand why some of you don't want to drive 5 hours for a clutch job. Also, please understand, that there will be "horror stories" from all kinds of people about every shop in existence. People will make mistakes, and sometimes these stories are blown out of proportion with only maybe 10% of the **** you hear being remotely true.

Seriously, you guys can do whatever you wish with your cars, though. GL.

well so far it's good. i stalled when got back in the car lol. but that was only the first time. i didn't know it was going to engage so quickly. seems like Will has made a good rep for himself. as for Subaru of Jax, in my opinion they lack in customer satisfaction. for example, some dealers do a courtesy wash when they work on your car. also, normally when they're about to do or add something to your final price, they'll notify you before hand. it didn't happen with them. so when i went to pay, that's when i was told about exhaust gaskets they replaced. wasn't that much to replace, but a phone call would've been good.

The important thing is that your car seems to be in good health

FAWK!!!! I SWEAR TO GOD!!! The damn Z has fuel but no spark.. 2 root causes:
1) Crank sensor is bad
2) Flywheel STILL isn't lined up correctly... HONESTLY WTF!? WHO the HELL thought "Hey lets tie ignition to the flywheel and if its not lined up to absolutely 100% it won't start!" I swear I'm gonna go WWII on the FIRST damn JAP I see!

I have tuned a bunch of track cars for customers at Roebling Road...i love that place. I'm always down for that. Although, i'll need to borrow your R-Compounds. haha. We really should work on this.....i have been wanting to do this for some time now.

Is it breaking up under hard acceleration or at the start of boost? What exactly is it doing? The plugs could be wore out and if its been awhile since you've changed them, go ahead and get a good set of NGK Iridium IX plugs. You'll want to gap them correctly too.

I'm on the road until Monday, but when i get back in Jax, i'll be happy to take a look at it for you. I just need to know more about what's going on, because it's probably something you can fix yourself.

Justin I recently switched mine out as the car was breaking up and wow it was a big difference. What do you guys suggest to be a good gap for ngk bpr8's?

Need to no what it is doing Justin... As Cary (iTune) said it is a good possibility it is your plugs, however kind of need some more info... I will be in town all weekend, I will PM you my number, so just give me a call tomorrow and let me know what is going on...

im sure its a good place to tune...the middle give a good range of RPMs and turn 11 is flat out for the half mile straight and just lift for turn 1
