Don't think that Tach was criticizing the judge there but simply stating that his reactions to the evidence presented by Works was amusing. I have spent a far amount of time in court rooms for work over the last 30 years and it is not unusual at all t be able to guess how the ruling will play out just from the judge's reactions to statements.

Yeah, not anything in particular, just don't want to see this get screwed up for him. Works has proven they're a petty, spiteful group of people by allowing the situation to escalate to this point. I wouldn't put it past them to get more desperate and try to come up with ammunition of some sort to discredit Tach...

Wow, what a rollercoaster. Brings back memories of FA20club and the guy for whom they were building an engine an a turbo kit which took over a year (maybe more I don't remember) with nothing but a beatup car to show for...
It's already a classic to have some local "sheep" jump in and defend with teeth these shady shops. Thanks for sharing and preventing some others to get scammed and/or unknowingly support shady businesses.

Throwback to the visconti tuning posts: I distinctly remember fa20club and visconti tuning, that was the time period I hadn't owned the car yet, but had lurked around the forums enough and already had a mod list. Thankfully a whole lot of the "bad" vendors had been weeded out by the point I entered the game. People piped up to defend them both when the incidents happened and the truth had come out, still don't get why people do that. Fa20club boss had a well known criminal history and poor knowledge of tuning. Visconti was known for shoddy work with the GTR platform.

That's kinda where I'm at right now. Not the first car I buy or mod on my own, but definitely one that I want to be more careful with. Sure it's not a twin turbo V8 or anything, but still lol I can see why you'd be put off from modding your car with stories like that. I think we have an abundance of reliable and trustworthy brands for our platform now and it's good that these forums can shed light on those that are not so.

If still ongoing could just say (case pending..)
If lost just let us know why for learning experience of how to deal with these potentially corrupt shops/companies.

His last time online is was 4 days ago. Give him a week or two to respond I don't like digging into online court records for fear of someones privacy but @TachyonBomb gave us permission and the case number to look it up. According to sonoma county court records there's no info past May 29th all it says was "contested" and the amount of $2957 awarded to Steven J who is the original poster on 05/29 @TachyonBomb But it also says the case was reopened on that same date so it's not too clear on what happened or that a final judgement was entered as the site interface is kind of trash.
