Hey umsracing, did that red evo have one of its headlights burned out? So far thats the only evo ive seen around. And a white 8 w/ a carbon fiber hood parked at allisons service door.

1030pm Friday night at the In-N-Out in South Reno on South Virginia. You know, by scolaris.

Yeah, I agree with RenoEvo. You have to make the drive to the bay area to get a good tune. Sactown has some decent tuners, but I'm not sure if they can tune evos well or not. D2 Motorsports is under new management, so I dunno if they can tune or not.

I'll be there for sure, along with two of my subaru buddies.

They moved to some hole-in-the-wall place downtown. I would never go there. I went there to buy my rims for my RSX, he said I was getting an awesome deal, but I saw it cheaper everywhere online. Plus, I've heard stories about them trying to rip people off (2 of my friends got work done there, and 1 of my buddies was a tech there for a while).

The only shop (i've heard) in Reno that does decent work is IVM. There are some pretty good machine shops here, though, like Motor Machine and Supply, A+, and AIMS if you want head work. Other then that, stick to online shopping and the occasional drive to NorCal.

I'm so excited.. I'm getting my rims on wednesday. Soon after that comes my vortex generator. w00t!

Nice, what rims did u get? Yeah i just went to Velocity yesterday, they dont have anything in stock, but seems like they can do tunes and installs. Ive heard that new era wasnt the most reliable either, and neither was forcefed. I might have to drive around sac this weekend and find some good shops.

D2 Motorsports and Motorsport Dynamics in Sacramento have always been really good shops, but like I said, D2 went into new ownership so I dunno about the new guy. He seems pretty cool though.

I am getting some 18" FN01R-Cs from a guy in the Bay Area. Pretty awesome deal, so that's why I am getting them. I really wanted to get some FQ400 wheels, but this deal was a little to sweet to pass up.

I heard that ForceFed doesn't have an AWD Dyno. Do they tune your car with just street driving?

Forcefed is has a supra that they tried installing a turbo and now the car doesn't run. Don't go to any shops here. The only good one was mine until I closed it.

all i can do is speak for my self and my experience with Force Fed. Like i said they are flakey but when they do work on my car i really dont have anything bad to say. They just tuned my car with race gas and 880cc injectors and the car runs awesome. Just need to add HKS DLI-2 to help the spark at high boost(28-30psi). And the blue supra is Daves and he says he doesnt have time to finish it??
