Both John and Rich have logged in after this thread was created, I don't know if they read it, but I'm guessing they have seen it. Should they join in the fray and add more opinions, absolutely not. Not posting in this instance is more professional.

Enough has been said about this guys. And responding to Toma's trolling is only taking this conversion from theoretical to mob mentality witch hunt.

Let the facts come out and WAIT to see what the response from John is. If he is at fault, his response wont be here the moment we see all the facts. He'll still have insurance and possibly lawyers to talk to before he can inform OP about what's going to happen. Then its up to them if they want to post. If John's not at fault, he'll still probably take time to figure out what if anything he wants to say in this thread.
This. Though I think a lot of what's been said in the last few pages were in jest and people trying to lighten the mood somewhat. We'll just have to wait and see how this unfolds, and the actions that are taken by all parties.

I hope it has because they completely lost me at charging extra for safety upgrades and looking at my datalogs and saying "Yep, looks completely fine".

Whether this fire is due to FF kit is a standalone issue. But since the FF kit is unquestionably not safe, it's not hard to link them together. This thread is a catalyst. So you have forgive people for making that connection.

First step would be for them to acknowledge the facts, which I've already listed. It's a small/big step depending on how you look at it but it would be a step in the right direction to fan out the flames.

On a serious note.

Were I to go with fi, or even ecutek in general. I was strongly leaning toward going with visconti due to the location of john in CT. The visconti advertised vortech+ecutek package was pretty tempting, especially since i'd rather not rely on etuning as a sole option.

The tone of his posts, the situation with the ff kits and the op post here are all reasons why they are absolutely not in consideration anymore.

Haha yeah I geeked out pretty hard. Well-played xJohnx. Wellplayed.

I seriously doubt they will respond directly to this thread, considering how childish many of us have acted through the duration. I'm sure the OP will inform the community of what steps are undertaken.
