threads like this make me not want to pay the fee to be a vendor. Regardless of who or what is at fault John is being trashed with out anyone knowing what really happened.

Moderators should take notice.

Might've been his fault, he might've gotten a ticket, but in many states it would've been the owner's insurance picking up the tab. Especially if there was no paper trail on the 'job' JV was gonna do.

It's the nature of lemmings. Been that way since the very fist Forum. I would never build a business that relied on Forums. They are too full of "google experts" and "armchair quarter backs."

But it can go both ways. From Zero to Hero and back again in no time lmao.

I wish I had a higher post count to 'Thank' all of these posts.

On another note, I have seen the Visconti Master Tuner sticker on a lot of toilets/urinals at a few different shops. Perhaps it would be better if placed on the fire extinguishers.

I agree with you in part.

FACT is, the exact casue is NOT known.

Now, there is a group of forum members that are talking about facts.

Even when the cause is still unknown, Visconti posts 6 days ago that the cause is know, blatant lie.

FF Kit leaking inside engine compartment of various owners

Visconti providing a "fix" that involved paying on top of the $1300+ already payed just to have a non-leaking kit

Never posting instructions on this new "fix" to allow customers to install it, leaving them basically with parts in hands and saying "I have no idea how to install this"

Brushing away Fuel Leaking in the engine bay saying it is NOT a Safety Concern.


There is more to OP's story, but that will be known later on not today.

Bolded part above are facts and no vendor should behave like that.

[B]FF Kit leaking inside engine compartment of various owners
Which owners have leaks? Links?

upgrades to kits are common, parts suppliers change, cleaner more elegant solutions become avaialble. Are you suggesting this is any way admitting a "leak" problem? Links to documented leaky vehicles?

Does your kit leak? Or are you passing on hearsay?

So you apparently think that vendor's fee buys you a right to be a **** to customers and moderator protection from people voicing opinions? Where the hell is this dude and why did he stay quiet on the issue for weeks now?

This is exactly why I think the current forum model where most of the money for servers comes from vendors selling junk is badly broken.
