Why would you do that ..???? Lol them boys been working hard I live by the shop and tend to always go there to hide from work or my wife lol .... I still don't get why anyone is upset or mad? Half of everyone complain on this thread has yet to spend any MONEY lol geez the build will get done and when it does everyone will drooll and those who see the power and want it will BUY it no matter what including myself ... If it is taking to long get another car simple as that! If u want a car on a budget let me know I work at toyota I can get a Camry or corolla!

I would really like to see the other side to the story but so far it's like they're hoping it'll just fade away. Things need to be brought to light. |

I understand me and Frs300 have become good friends because of this build we talk about it all the time ... But the point is that a lot of ppl blast this when they don't spend a dime or have a "intake"!! Oh this takes to long ot lack of attention blah blah. But when it's complete weather it's complete in a day or a few months they still won't buy it .... That's your opinion not to go to fa20club for what ever reason but me personally haven't had any problems and we all know I'm crazy with this car. When this is finished and it breaks records like always and going one step ahead of competition people will be hitting the buy button lol and waiting ... Everyone I have spoken to pretty much says I hate to wait but when they get there product say it was worth the wait !

Also, lack of attention to detail on some things might be acceptable to some, but when it comes to engine internals... that's disastrous. His original engine grenaded because of lack of attention to detail. You're happy because you slapped a turbokit on a stock FA20 and didn't have to wait longer than a few days, MAYBE. What if you waited weeks? Any other company that takes too long gets slaughtered on the review forum. Everyone and their mother rides the FA20club train when they really should step their game up. Not impressed. |

Yep it's always been good stuff with fa20club. Just that damn wait lol. I spent a ton of money with these guys this year and had one refund since something had came up and waited a month for a front pipe that didnt get started. Had another opportunity and took it. Ill be re-ordering in the spring hopefully when there caught up on existing builds and not back logged.
This thread just went all Ben afflek everyone is hating on him now for batman but who knows it could be a master piece. I agree with @lexusb3 a lawyer is dumb and not needed for anything yet. Nothing adults can't work out.

Second, I've had a different experience with Fa20 but I also don't like to go on the forums and blast vendors. Long part waits, incorrect parts, missing pieces, low quality, lack of ANY response for retunes (still waiting months later after repeat e-mails). I still have their CAI untouched in my garage (anyone want it on the cheap?). I do think the business model of retunes for life is partially to blame. It's a horrible business model for a tuner, but one Toni felt he was forced into to compete with JV.

It's amazing how apologetic certain people (yes you, @lexusb3 lol) are on behalf of fa20club. Do they pay you for this service?
If Visconti built engines and did this you'd be burning him at the stake. Just because someone built you a turbo kit you like a lot doesn't mean you have to crank the fanboy dial to 12 every time someone has an issue with the vendor. |

Retunes for life is a lot of headaces. I paid for two tunes. I almost paid for a 3rd recently since I felt bad that I keep asking him to look at logs ect.
