HPT Tuners
Was thinking of picking up HPT and was curious if any of the old tuners on here are still tuning?

pretty sure most of the OGs tuners have moved on from the platform. Area used to visit once and awhile, but haven't saw anything from him in some time. Term has stopped tuning cobalts to my knowledge. Mdub hasn't been around for a long time. I'm drawing blanks on the other OGs usernames

Yeah he used to tune for our local club, and then he dropped off the face of the earth for tuning. I took over tuning locals.

Yeah passing on that was a good idea.

I don't remember his name anymore, but does anyone know if the guy in Calgary still tunes? Was hoping to have him tune mine this summer.

John Mic from Facebook or on here he was 09CobaltSS#1 I believe, still tunes last I knew. When term hung it up he recommended John to me and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Al MCCLURE is also good and he works for ZZP now.
