I can completely understand people getting upset if FRS300's car was the ONLY car in FA20Club's shop that taking this long would be ridiculous... but since FA20Club is a very reputable shop with who knows how many customers it is understandable for this car to not be finished yet. I know of many shops that hold onto project cars for YEARS without customer complaints... They don't complain because they know that it will be worth the wait. Also, there is only one person on this entire forum who has any right to complain about how long it is taking and since I don't see him on here whining I certainly don't feel that anyone else should be... End rant.

Those are just a few examples. I disagree with your viewpoint on shops, but this is not the thread to discuss that.

Half the ppl that complain don't buy shit anyways lol excuse my statement but its true. When I post my build I'm giving my car to Toni and buying another and I would care less how long it would take just the fact that when I do it get it I will be making everyone drool lol. When I did my turbo kit I said here do what u have to do and call me when its done and the same goes to all my parts I went on vacation at one point because it got my mind off it !

@jamesm youre still trying to finalize your tune that start almost 3 months ago i would be more concerned about getting my persoanal car right cause when i finish a tune or a project its usually good to go. And if you still want to come down for a proper tune im stillready when you are.
i'm considering it. giving the current tuner once last shot at redemption lol. i should know soon if i'll be needing a trip.

Damn... Tell me its not just Toni putting the car back together. That's a fuck ton of work for one guy to take on when he has a whole shop to take care of and what not. Do you know what else they have going on down there besides justfrs/brz?

Was there a time table ever given before you sent the car?

I wonder what a couple of Subaru FA20 will cost two weeks before the southeast 86 meet? I bet they'd pull a premium.
