Anything from Visconti?

Hi guys,

Just wondered if anyone has heard from Visconti recently? Sent in a request a couple of weeks ago and it appears it hasn't even been allcoated yet and I know he hasn't been seen onthe forum for a good while.

Any particular reason for wanting to go with Visconti?

Looks like the last activity for John was on was 9/6, and Rich was 9/12. I wouldn't be surprised if he's been advised to stop posting with possible legal issues. Setting my own opinions aside, it's probably a smart move on his part. The more he posted since the fire incident the more people have crucified him.

Probably because he had a tune with him before the whole fiasco started.

I sent him a request for tune update to disable the P0137 code and haven't heard anything back for 3 weeks.

More like suicide by hanging than crucifixion. More popcorn was consumed than nails IMO. Besides, none of that would keep him from using PMs to actually support his previous customers. A thread like this speaks volumes and confirms all my suspicions and prejudices about the guy. Feel bad for his clients. You guys might be safer w/o him, I'd go elsewhere and seek recompense for services not rendered.

That does suck that hes leaving you guys hanging.

Its one thing to abandon the forum, but to abandon those that padded your wallet.

Choke on a flaming cock.

I put in a log review request on the 17th. I got a response on the 20th and a follow up to some additional questions the same day.

Thanks guys. This is the longest I have had to wait to have a request for the latest tune to be 'allocated' in his system and I thought I would have heard something by now.

He responded a handful of times to an urgent request of mine on the 18th. I sent in a request for a new key due to dealership reflash on the 23rd and haven't heard back. Assuming he's on a project or something the last week. Condolences to those of you not getting responses, I certainly know how it goes waiting a month+.

If you email him he responds faster than checking the forum.
