do you have any clue how long they would need the car for fmic, intercooler pipes, or exhaust? and how long will they need the rims to powercoat them. do you know if theyre looking to produce a single or dual exhaust? ive already got an intake, but i might be interested in prototyping some other parts. depends how long they need the car for. ---

Sean Ivey is a good guy, I’ve worked with him on a few projects. His new shop is more of a warehouse…but is coming along and is about time he got his own place to work out of. He tuned my attorney’s Evo VIII which put down almost 600whp…nasty car. Can’t go wrong with Sean IMO. ---

Al is about as useful as a slice of Wonder bread. Great if you fancy peanut butter and jelly, but worthless otherwise. He is rude, doesn’t care about your car, and if/when you have problems he has zero follow up or customer service. He is actually downright offensive as can be attested to by EJEvo, Mike Rubin (not sure if he’s on here), and several others. I’ve had to fix a good number of ‘Bro’ tunes which are a bastard because he’s a computer guy and ‘locks’ the ecu so his ‘tune’ isn’t stolen. It’s a joke. To get your Evo X tuned on an AP call Seth at Moon, Sean at IveyTune, or Chad at CBRD. They all do great work, are curtous, and always willing to take the time to follow up with you if there are any questions. Moon is the closest, followed by Sean, then Chad. Up to you from there. ---
