The R's Tuning....check it out!!!!
The R's Tuning is a new shop located in Irvine, ca. As some of you know wwjd15 on our forums, as well as every other forum and track community out there.
The R's Tuning is a all in one shop that can do anything and everything from suspension alignment, corner balance, brakes, aero, wheels, custom fab apps etc. I contacted Ricky @ R's Tuning to get some Endless pads ( hard to obtain in the CA), harness and alignment and balance tuning. R's tuning was prompt, efficient and Leo (head mechanic) and Ricky have a great slogan: "do it once, do it right" I cannot tell you how many times a saying like that gets passed around with no real actual results of just doing it once and doing it right. But at R's....they really do. especially for me, who loves to track frequently and needs 1 shop to do anything from custom aero to simple bolt on affairs. check it out!!!!!!! |

Sweet! Can't wait to try them after the Brembo OE pads wear out. Already have a set of Endless on order.

What I love the most about r's tuning is the knowledge of not only parts but technicalities of set ups, setting and track prep.
In my opinion, just about anyone can sell parts. But to sell hem with real personal experience and feedback is priceless. |

...bad vibe
Just called them to get some work quoted. The person answering the phone came of clueless & amateurish in how to deal with a customer...or quote labor. I want to re-install my OEM springs (ride height is starting to annoy me). The guy I spoke with had no idea if an alignment would be needed or what I was even asking about...also could not give me a price...yeah, its a steep learning curve when you want to work on high end sports cars.
...who knows maybe its a great shop, but if you can't close/book an appointment for a simple spring job from a customer wanting to schedule there is a problem. |

i understand what you are saying...but perhaps this isnt the type of shop that'll do a spring swap for the price your looking to spend when many shop can bang them out for a quick buck. . The reason why I like this shop is bc they take their time, get it done right...but as all good things cost something, so will this...just my two cents |

I take it back
...i'd rather get it done @ the "right" kind of shop vs "bang it out".
Anyway, I take my comments back...I got text'd a few minutes ago with clarification. Apparently the person I was speaking with was in a loud dyno room and had a hard time hearing me. My bad on jumping the gun but I really said "WTF" was that to myself after hanging up the phone. |

Thank you very much for the review and your guys' support!
Bubu, sorry about the conversation over the phone. I was in the dyno room and doing tuning on a GTR. It was super loud out there so I didn't hear you correctly. You are welcome to stop by tomorrow afternoon if you have time, and I will be happy to give you a shop tour about what we can do. * I'm not a vendor here so I will stop talking about my shop at this point. Thanks for understanding. Thanks again! |

No need to be so critical of his review of a terrific experience that he had someplace, he's hardly the first to engage in such behavior. I don't see you running after everyone who makes a positive review about EAS and IND and SonicMS and AcutePerformance and PySpeed, etc. (I'm not singling out any board sponsors, just saying some that popped up in my head). Clearly, every single person on this forum who has written a positive review about a vendor or board sponsor or tuning shop is sponsored by them and is just out to get you. Oh, and don't let the door hit you on your way out. Those terrible, terrible doors, really dangerous stuff that just attacks for no reason. I sense an ironic analogy here. Edit: Ahh, that was fun. I was having a bad day and needed to rant. Thanks for being such a good sport and volunteering sqweak. Last edited by LateBraking; 12-13-2011 at 12:26 AM.. |

He may drive on a track with it monthly, but he isn't getting any actual use of it. There is 0 need for it on the street and 99% of the worlds drivers wouldn't be able to benefit from it on the track. (hint: he isn't the 1%) Get over it, it's purely cosmetic and defending it as anything else is a joke. Quote:

I also have a position B, which is about the benefit of a performance mod. Sure, only a professional could fully utilize the benefits of a rear trunk spoiler, but then, on that same token, only a professional could fully utilize a BBK, or a supercharger, or even just brake pad and fluid changes on the stock system, OR even the car in it's fully stock form. I don't personally get why everyone is always "zomg reach fur zhe limitz" , we'll never get there unless it's something you dedicate your life to. It's a HOBBY, and even though you won't reach the limit of your vehicle stock OR modded, adding performance mods can raise that limit and make your car more enjoyable and easier to drive at a faster level, under the car's limit, but at yours. Think of it as a scaling effect. Also, regarding the paint, what gives? I don't get these forum clowns sometimes. If a car's dirty it's sacrilegious (poor OC3 ), if a car's clean it's sacrilegious, if a car's painted it's sacrilegious, if a car shows naked carbon it's sacrilegious (and politically incorrect, NAKED in PUBLIC!), it's some twisted breeding ground for hatred. By the way, his wing is wrapped, not painted. Not anything really important, but there you go, just for the record. Quote:
Y'know sqweak, I really like you. Sure, we have differing viewpoints, but your response wasn't atypical of the mindless drivel I've come to expect of this forum. I get the feeling that you're the kind of person I'd be terrific friends with in person. Last edited by LateBraking; 12-13-2011 at 04:02 PM.. |

If one's lap times begin to improve after a mod is done (whatever that mod is), isn't is (relatively) safe to assume that there's a possibility that that mod helped improve the laptimes? since all else (driver as well) was more-or-less the same? And 99% vs 1%...what is this, "Occupy M3Post"? And why paint match it? Cause it looks sexy.
