Ever watch quiky lube places? Thats why they're quick.

I use my IR TIMAX guns for all 3 in lb nuts. Who doesn't???

wow i just finished looking at this pics i didnt know that this was your car!
on friday feb14 i went to get my car dyno tuned by tony and i saw your car. he had it outside running for about 45 mins idling with a battery booster attached to it (im guessing battery was dead?) so while i was waiting around decided to walk out and look at your car and noticed the scuff on the upper front bumper, the zip tied stuff and the loud ticking of the engine it didn't seem healthy but didn't pay much attention to it. i figured that this was a customer that had installed the turbo themselves and had somehow done such a crappy job that messed up something on the engine to made it tick like that. i tough that the car was being brought in to the shop to get fixed, I never imagined that this installation was done by TR3 themselves! well little did i know that it was your car and was actually getting shipped like that the same afternoon. it really sounded pretty bad!!
I am Actually Disappointed at the whole situation, thing is tony seemed like a knowlegdable tuner and TR3 looked like a reputable shop since you usually see high end cars (GTR's Ferraris Porsches etc) in there all the time. now while i am pretty mechanic savvy and i have never let anyone touch my cars or bikes. i do all the work myself save for tire installation and alignments. i personally wouldn't let a shop touch my car, heck i haven't even taken advantage of scion's free oil changes because i don't want them touching my car... i rather spend the 40 bucks on good oil and do it myself.. BUT i understand that time, tools or skills do not allow some people to work on their cars so they have to rely on a shop to do the work. i really believed that TR3 was a reputable shop that performed quality work... this definitely discredits them and puts a bad image on them as there is no excuse to deliver a car in the way your car was. it is sad that locally there are no good shops as they all seem shady and do crappy work. unfortunately TR3 is now added to that list.
As for Tony, i am not sure if he works as an employee of TR3 or as a contractor (TR3's Tuner) not sure but from my understanding he is the only one behind FA20Club.com.
As far as my experience with him, i have bought some parts from him for my FRS and dealt with him few times he never gave me any discounts or anything like that. i was fine with that though as i personally don't like asking for hookups or stuff like that. my reasoning for going trough him was that he was local, I could get the parts faster than ordering online and waiting for shipping so the few times i got parts from him the deals were done on the spot cash for part kinda deal so never got to deal with him shipping me stuff. while he is very knowledgeable in the platform he always talked about how this and that was making him money and stuff like that. it seemed that he was more interested in making a quick buck off this new platform than in anything else. While Tony is a great tuner and i must say i am happy with my dyno tune that i got from him that day, it sucks that he ripped off so many people including you.

it is sad to see people like this. it is sad to see shops that do stuff like this and i hope that your voice gets heard and you are taking the appropriate legal steps to get reimbursed for the damages to your car. shops and people shouldn't be able to get away with this.

Not his brother. All he does is tune my car so please relax with that. Do you guys have nothing better to do ?

I'm not kidding at all. I didn't say youre his brother. You look like exactly the same person. This is my first time seeing the pic. Even my workmates here say its the same guy.

Your response was hilarious. Never expected something like that to be asked. Usually the idiots are much more direct in dispensing their hater-ade

Usually to stop a troll, you use a troll response. One of the few things I actually learned in high school.

In a way, if he is Toni, he has been around this forum to see his work fall and people hate him while he raked in the money and laughed it away...pretty scary to think all that is possible behind a computer screen.

I am not tony as many seen me and met me at the shop and have gone on a ride in my car with me so. Again please end these comments

Unless they get off on that sort of thing and you only end up feeding the monster

I've read through this thread (as well as the FA20club Turbo Owners thread). I tend to want to hear from both sides before making any judgements, but have noticed a lack of any response from the accused, Toni/FA20Club

But then on further checking around, I see that their account is actually BANNED from these forums.

...That says it all for me.

He responded...didn't say anything back lol I got a 'warning' for responding appropriately to his comment...sheesh. Didn't know those ST guys were so uptight.

Honestly, Lexusb3 and Toni are two different people. I've met them both (same place same time for the conspiracy theorist). Look alike or not.

You know that is not true. You've met @KAB-FRS and know KAB customs is as legit a shop as it gets and it shows on the stupid quality of their work. Look at my turbo kit came out, designed from scratch by Andres.
