FA20Club Up Pipe

[Ralph Spoilsport]

There's a Juke forum?



Reports of angry mob with pitchforks over blown, at least as of 9 pm est last night. Dude wants his car back after most of a year of broken promises. Toni is being a **** about it. There was not even a hint of a threat to do violence or even trespass. There was the suggestion (reasonable under the circumstances imo) that a couple extra people be present, with video.

The guy did the community a service, and this forum torched him for it.
See how the table has turned.

Now he's NOWHERE TO BE FOUND FOR MONTHS.

I can still see your post. You did mention @Brian@Vortech so I would be careful. No debating vendors/trolling in the Forced Induction forum.

So, I got bored and started searching All Star LLC, Toni Brown, and florida... man, the things you start digging up. It was going through threads, and other car forums for hours. It seems like he's been doing this since the early 2000's, and I know that the forums rules are new forum, new chance, but you guys remember Vivid right?

My favorite tidbit... This Wiki page.

I'll leave that breadcrumb for some of the more curious folk.

Until the mods delete it like the others thread asking what he was driving these days.

Wow this is wild, these "tuners" just keep moving around forums scamming and stealing and get away with it. Unbelievable. I was a supporter of FA20club at first but never would have recommended his turbo kits or exhaust parts.

anyone going to the juke forums to warn other car guys...

That forum is very lightly visited, Visconti is there too btw.

Thumbs up for epic thread tags.

Stick with folks like @MAPerformance and FullBlown that have been in the game a long time and have a know rep over several platforms.

Curious - when they weld things like headers dont they have all the parts bolted down to a jig?
That's how I would do it to guarantee that the manifold flanges line up with the heads.

Welding on it like you are doing without the jig might warp it and it may not align any longer (assuming it even did before you tried to fix it).

I am not sure about the SS, but I have welded aluminium before that that moves all over the place if not held down.

Nothing will really move where he is welding it. The big issue with Subaru stock is making sure nothing moves from cylinder head to cylinder head.

The base map got me stuck at a gas station and a response less email.

@shaunsweeney: @Hawaiian? Hawaiian! Why's he BANNED dad?

@woode: Because we have to chase him.

Random Admin: Okay we're going in! Go, go! Move!

shaunsweeney: He didn't do anything wrong!

woode: Because he's the hero FT86club deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll BAN him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A FR-S'er

Its not the same thing. I have high expectations but realistic ones. Toni is one guy running an LLC. Not someone with a long standing business record and motorsports pedigree.

Starting an LLC is just what it stands for he has no personal liability, just his reputation and business. Again not defending him, however internet bandwagoning can be brutal. Sure he fucked up. Hope he makes it right as he has spent a ton of time on this platform to piss it all away but its easy to clean the slate if he chooses to.

If he bails it sucks for those here, but at the same time its a lesson for many to make sure they get tuning and parts from companies that have a long standing history on multiple platforms, run shops and can do engineering and fabrication. Its the top reason I always ask for data from some of these shade ball companies and tuners on forums
