So Zack why don't you enlighten us with who said I installed battery wrong, and which shops "warned" you. I have not hired an attorney only sought advice thus far.
    If only you were as good at wrenching as you are at running your mouth and digging holes online, then maybe you wouldn't need to bring your cars to shops then burn them when your difficult attitude makes it impossible to finish the car right.

    Another keyboard whore. You know absolutely nothing about me. I can understand you are a 22RPD b*tch, being so close to him.

    No, poor tuning is a bitch. And karma? I have a Evolution Motorsport 996 TT GT700 at over 700 hp with no problems whatsoever. So, I love my karma, thank you very much. And I have found an excellent tuner/pro driver to tune my 540i. Keep the BS coming, I love it.

    Great news you have found someone to tune and drive your car. I have to drive my car myself.

    You know nothing about me, so you best watch your tone, since unlike you, I can do all this stuff myself. That's why I just read this thread and shake my head, as it seems pretty obvious you've had shops bending over backwards to fix your car (for a price), and you are one of those people who:

    1. Don't understand what goes into really building and modifying a car to be high performance and reliable

    2. Try to micromanage the shop, and get all freaked out over random/tiny stuff such as not hearing from the shop for a few days.

    Which then leads to this:

    3. You throwing a hissy fit, not taking responsibility for your part in the business relationship breaking down, and then generally burning bridges left and right, then taking your car back with problems you largely caused (directly or indirectly).


    I don't know anything about you or your car other than this thread, so that's what the above is based on. I think most people reading are of the same mindset... You'd be better served by taking an introspective look on why you're getting crapped on in this thread, rather than trying to fling internet poo like a child.

    I don’t think jimmy is going to get very far with his defamation lawsuit over hooking up the battery wrong. Looks like he calls people much worse.

    The irony and naïveté is actually incredible.

    I want to start by saying building a custom car is hard, but trusting someone build your car is probably harder.

    I don’t blame or fault Jim for any of this. I have spent hours evaluating this whole situation, and I would consider this a failure on our part.. In short, we produced an awesome car, with excellent fabrication, great performance, and 110% of what Jim wanted from us. We set the right expectation for the build, but when the complications from the previous shops got deeper, we weren’t clear enough in our explanations or trusted enough to be able to explain this to Jim.

    Some of this lack of clarity came from a difference in knowledge, and some from our frustration with what was given to us. Frustration from executing exactly what we set out to do, but having to invest double the time trying to fix problems all around the car. Frustration from getting challenged about who caused these problems and who would cover the cost of the repairs: Jim, the previous shop(s), or would Jim take them to court?

    I try to look at failures as a chance to grow, and there has been a ton of growing here. It’s hard to explain the direct growth, but we are taking things slower, taking more time to explain, and documenting our time more accurately. I expect we won’t have this exact problem again as we are more aware of what can happen, and you need these lessons as early as possible.

    Over the last week I have been contacted by the third shop to receive Jim’s car after us. We spent a few hours with the new shop owner getting him up to speed. Explaining what has happened with the shops between us. This is the first shop that I feel confident could actually fix what has gone wrong. We will continue to support shops that try and help Jim. We haven’t given up on him. if it comes down to it I will travel to fix the car personally, it just needs to be equitable for both of us.

    I'll be around if you need me, Zack.

    Here are a few videos of the car. Running in our shop before it was pulled onto the truck 10/18/19. You can see the walk around inspection. I shortened this to about a minute, but I think it shows the idea. Additionally, I added one of the final dyno runs from 9/18/19.

    I have never used this video hosting service before, but i hope it works.

    Enjoy.
