Still would like to see pictures of your garage. .

Just like the horse in the movie Patton.

Patton shoots the horse on the bridge, "just get them g*d damn horse off the bridge and get this convoy movin".

Thats why are guys are in Iraq, protecting our rights and freedom to say what ever you want.

....are you trying to be Bill Clinton with what is the definition of what is it???

You left out the important parts of the statement, If you would have read it it said:

It is quite clear to me what it says, I had a choice.
[B]"We" (meaning my self or anyone that uses AZ P+S) could go to different Dynos in the immediate area to have our cars tuned w/Nic.[/B]

When I responded as such:

I did not know context of the statement of where you were getting this "WE" from,

I'm glad I was able to clear this up for you and get you back on track. Again, I have no affiliation with anyone in the automotive, just a consumer!

Between the two of you ProgGod and don.donc you make me feel like I'm being deposed.


What is your affiliation with Xtreme ? Seems like there must be something?

heh I am just trying to counteract some of the extreme negativity to XMS. No affiliation at all.

I have dealt with some bad shops that didn't know what they are doing in az, was glad to find XMS.

My viper took months to get fixed after some bad shops f'd it up in AZ.

On more positive note, I took that picture for you. Was too lazy to stick a car on the lift. But you will get the idea

I respect what your saying regarding bad shops in AZ. I wish you the best with your dealings with shops and would expect if you had problems you would let the community know.

Who _ _ ck'd up your Viper? You mentioned it was a shop here in AZ.

How does the Vette fit? You can't lift it to high or I'm I not seeing it?

Is there room for a car up top? Does not look it from the picture.

I'd rather not say. I don't think they are a bad shop, but they just don't know vipers.

Tried to go the cheap fast way on getting my supercharger installed. Ending up having to send it to one of 3 good viper shops in the country to get it all fixed up. Atleast they were in california.

They wired it incorrectly, left an alignment tool in the car, had the belts rubbing, etc. The supercharger was slipping and didn't make any power. But the fuel pumps made the engine run super rich

Among other issues. One of the pitfalls of owning a viper. For now on any work I need done on it, I am just doing myself.

The lift is lifted higher then it needs to be at the moment to keep it out of the way. If i lowered it down about 1ft it would fit on top no problem. I can't stand completely straight up and down under it, but its not too bad working under it. Let me take another pic give me a minute

i had never see anyone refer to himself only as "we". maybe you should go back and reread what you wrote. you use "we" as in the answer "we/ azps" has 3 different dyno to choice from.

i have no link with extreme, in fact, i don't even like to deal with jason, after that used rims deal that he tried to sell, then had my posts / thread deleted by the moderator. i will only deal with darrell now if i have to go there.

your issue with extreme is over $2-300, i know people that got cheated out more then that by the other shop that is mention in this thread.

If you read the post it is clear, thats why I included the entire statement in the post response, not just an excerpt

It is:

From that posting, There were choices as to where to get the dyno done. So when the word we is used, it was between myself the contracting shop and Nic as to where to bring the car.

Ah geez who cares

Lets all agree everyone deserves atleast one second chance. Maybe dave had just gotten broken up with by his mistress that day. He was so pissed when he backed out of the driveway he ran over his dog. On the way to the vet he hit his elderly old mother crossing the street.

I had to tear out my cabinets and put up those things from the ceiling for storage, to make my garage longer for my wifes minivan. She kept stealing my truck so we sold the minivan, so could have left them i suppose
