Lessons learned on the TT install

Girald

Yes and no... Choosing the right shop, you either have to be a fortune teller, or have a friend that boosted their car and had a great experience.

Unfortunately, people lie to massage their egos or shops promise you the world, as did the shop i brought mine to. Getting the gear is simple research .. thats the easy part... now going to a shop... its like going to jail and asking who there is innocent.

Who to tune my car, what software to use, all my parts fell under the research category. Who to install on my car... crap shoot.

At first, I ws going to transport my car out to AAM - they built the kit, theyt should know how to put it in... right? but after the fiaso w them, that was a no. Then I thought, Soho, or Z1... after getting a quote, I could literally buy another 370z... point of diminishing returns there. So after this process started becoming a bit scary, I decided id canvass local.

IDEAL: is to find the local gem that is magic to your car... form a great relationship and dont have to transport the car every time theres a glitch. local dyno , tuning, maint etc.. This is what my mind was now thinking.

summary: You cant just trust people, because everyone is right, and everyone is wrong. If you can see things first hand and shops are local dealing in your car, then perfect, if you live 1000 miles away from shops that may or may not be reputable, then there are hard decisions to make.

In my case, I decided the best shop is in my garage and scored. But again, ill say it, it sucks repairing what paid certified mechanics couldnt
