I totally understand, but keep in mind, Im in my mid 40s myselfOriginally Posted by Ldub
Don't take it too personal AZ, some of us "older fellas" been turnin' wrenches on this or that for 30-40 yrs.
Seen a lot of engineering fads come & go in that amount of time...that kind of experience breeds skepticism...simple as that.
You want to see an example of what I'm talkin' about, try to find Naoki's webpage (maybe someone will post a link), I don't think there is an accessory made, bogus or not, that he hasn't hung on his VX.
He has magnets all over the place to "straighten" electrons or something...it's somethin' to see.
and have been working on cars since I was 16.
I opened my performance shop back in 1990 here in Tucson
(motorsportwarehouse.com) and I spend half my day actually
talking customers out of $500 headers for their civics and $800
cat backs for their GM trucks etc, only to offer more reasonable
cost alternatives. Usually similar products without the inflated
brand name prices. Im the Only shop in town who does this.
Most shops reel you in and the promises of massive hp gains only
for the customer to be let down.
That said, I was very skeptical about this particular item myself a few
yrs ago when it came out.
I had customers coming in asking for it by name, so FINALLY I gave in
and started stocking a few of their (Helix) part #s.
After a few months I had customers coming in wanting to buy one
"because their buddy had bought one and loved it" Thats a quote
from a dozen or so customers. How could I argue with a customer at
that point. I wasnt even trying to sell them one, but from word of
mouth on its results alone from past customers, they sold themselves.
That said, thanks for the nice comments guys.
and to the other negative Neds, oh well, its your lose not mine living
in such a skeptical world.
