Don't really remember. It was supposed to be fixed last week, but they did a ghetto job on it so I only made it around the corner before I took it back for them to fix right. It's been w/ them for about two weeks I guess...

Oh, I tell them how it is straight up from the beginning. My car is modified, I know my ****, if you're gonna dick me around, I'll go somewhere else. There are still two dealerships within 10 miles that I haven't gone to yet if I need to yank my car out and bring it somewhere else. And they know it...

Well this dealership has only done a few small warranty things:

Replaced shifter knob when the top fell off.
Replaced door bezels when paint was peeling.
Timeing chain tensioner and guide.
And now the roll pin.

The other dealership did:

Stage II - Improperly seated an injector and had to order a new one cause it broke the o-ring. Also found out later that he cross-threaded the bolts into the hub. Matt had to drill them out and use bigger bolts.

Cams/Valve Springs - Whole fiasco including improperly sync'd Cam and Crank prosition sensors, blown security module, etc.

Needless to say, I stopped going to them. This one knows about everything though.

That's the funny thing about the headwork, they quoted me like $350, so I booked the appointment then and there.

They had to eat a **** load of money after the realized it's far more complicated than a 4 hour job...

Currently, I'm happy w/ my car. I hope that it'll hold up for a while. At least long enough for me to get the Cobra H/E on it and down to Matt for the final tune...

I just want to hit 265whp on Matt's dyno. I do that, I call it quits.

You should hit that..My "one thing or another" quote was more pertaining to life in general. Girls, cars, work, money...I'm just praying that the damn thunder cloud that has been following my ass, will be leaving sometime soon.

I've had experience training in Freestyle wrestling, Kempo and TaeKwonDo. Personally, getting in w/ someone that instructs and trains MMA would be your best bet. It is a great cobmination of all disciplines, especially grappling, which you would need as a peace officer...

A course specifically designed around police tactics would be a great idea...
