Right!?!?!?!?! I'm mean seriously how many times have we noted his capabilities here. BTW Justin and I are shooting up there Weds 26th so I can pull some info from his computer. More than welcome to hitch a ride up with us and hang out for awhile if you've got the day off. 10am my place, call Justin if you want to go

i will NOT be going to moon. he is a tuning facility just like any other... yes he is local, but no i do not intend on going there. im sorry but the capital district car scene is "fad crazy". one person goes somewhere and has good luck so that shop becomes the end all to be all. i look around and make my decisions based on what i see. morgan and seth im sure are nice guys (morgan i know is) but synapse doesnt have an awd dyno and im not hopping on the moon bandwagon.

Theres a difference between a bandwagon and proven results, and Moon isn't exactly local unless you consider 2 hrs up the Northway local.

"fad crazy"? Travis, I've always tried to give you the benefit of the doubt as a person. But what the fuck are you thinking? Seth has gone out of his way to open up his shop to the Capital Region and made sure to even join local forums. He didn't have to do any of this. When is the last time anyone else tried to actually HELP the Capital Region car scene? Shit, Seth even took time out of his personal life to drive all the way to Albany from his shop to attend one of JVG's meets and answer questions for everyone! "fad" and "bandwagon" are terms that are very demeaning. Jon's WRX gained a ton of power over the accessport and he went from 13.6 to 13.2 on JUST a tune and picked up several MPH (don't remember exactly how much). My Evo that he tuned with just 30R, meth, and exhaust have turned in 124mph passes at 11.1 with the new owner driving. I'd say his tuning speaks volumes for itself. You can not hold the fact that his shop has only been open for a little over a year against him and that he doesn't pay out the behind to sponsor NASIOC/EvoM because he doesn't have the money to do so at this point. He is still developing his business. If you want to goto Al that is your choice. But remember how important customer service AFTER the sale is. Which, as you know, is NOT provided in any way/shape/form from dynoflash. You can ask EJEvo from here who is VERY well respected and is (I believe) the reigning Mo-Hud champ in his division

Also, even if you're unhappy with Adam, you can ask him about his experience on the phone with Dynoflash. Heck, talk to Mike Ruben who's on Shift518 and NADS about his tuning "experience" with Dynoflash and what happened with his Evo. Is Al a capable tuner? Yes. But as a consumer and as an enthusiast you should demand more than just going to someone who is capable. You should consider what type of technical assistance you'll receive after the sale if any issues or problems every arise. Which, in a tune, especially in the NorthEast with our climate...is very common. Calling Moon a fad I find personally offensive as I endorse Seth and his shop and he will soon be sponsoring most if not all of our "fad crazy" local forums to try to help the Capital Region car scene stay strong. I strongly urge you to at least call Seth or come to Moon with Adam and I tomorrow to meet him and see what he and his shop are all about. I promise you will not be disappointed. If you decide you're too headstrong to consider such a "fad shop" I would still not goto Dynoflash. Contact "The Shop" where Junior is now tuning if you think you HAVE to go elsewhere. Junior is a VERY well respected Subaru tuner and is well respected and is very helpful before, during, and after the tune. If it makes you feel better you can even talk to Jay about Junior as I believe Jay knows him also. Don't forget who's always gone out of their way to help you. Even if you don't think it means much, people going out on a limb for you should account for something.

thats the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. You would rather go to a shop that is less productive, does less work and has less of a reputation to be different? You would think with all youve gone through you would want a more reputable shop to do your work. I dont know anything about tuning or any of this shit but your view of it boggles me. The shop I go to to get my car worked on is the best in the town I live in, thats why I go there. Im not going to go to some shitty shop that no one has heard of just to be different, thats just stupid. Whats does him posting videos have to do with anything? He posts all the good stuff big deal. You dont think hes ever made a mistake because he posts videos?

Big Al's tunes: 60% of the time, they work every time.

i'll be waiting with my .599 liters of fury. and im still curious as after all the stupid shit people say and all the haters on you why do you continue to post this shit and egg it on. if it were me i'd just spend my time elsewhere. apparently you just enjoy it.

Im not sure why the rest of you sit here and argue with travis. If he wants to piss his money away let him. Its not your money or your car. If its gonna blow up again it will. Hes obviously not gonna listen to any one else so let him make his own mistake

JClark · #72 (**permalink**) 12-25-2007, 05:28 PM

Well he obviously wants the conversation by posting it on here and it's usually pretty entertaining.

if he didn't want anyone to argue with him then he wouldn't have posted this topic...and if he thought that nobody was gunna make any comments towards him about his decision then he is just stupid. I just just sit back and read it is quite entertaining like JClark said.

whats funny is how when i say my car is being fixed and i build and buy parts people criticize me, yet when someone else's car on here (centola) hasnt run in years they dont get half the shit i do. hmmm ive come through with what i said was going to happen. ive paid my debts, and ive built a pretty fuckin gucci motor. i hear alot of pipe dreams from several of you but it never comes to fruition. also kind of curious when i build something its pissing money away and when someone else wants a "mad tyte jdm lip kit yo" they are praised for it... man thats what bugs me... i catch more flak than anyone on this board and im gunna be glad when i shut some of you faggots up. dont talk til u walked a mile in my shoes.
