  • Today has probably been the worst day of my recent life.

    I have been in a legal battle with a shop, and it's owners, in an effort to retrieve the money I believe they stole from me for the past 3 years. It was in excess of $10,000 and I had photographic evidence showing poor quality of work, parts that had gone missing from my car during it's time at their shop, screen shots of txts with the co-owner stating the work was fine and that they refused to re-do it, as well as statements from other profession shops stating that all work preformed was essentially illegal.
    Long story short, The final court case was today... and they pleaded for bankruptcy, and are in the process of having it granted. If you're not aware of what this does, it means I got hosed.

    Just a sample of the quality of paint they did.



    The worst part about it is that I borrowed the money from my brother, and the bank to have all this done. Now I have a car I can't sell for much, a debt to the bank, and a personal debt to my brother who needs the money to continue his education at university.
    The bottle of whisky sitting my freezer becomes more appealing with every passing minute.

              The shop was "Full Metal Jacket racing" which was located in duncan, BC. It has since closed down, and the owners have gone there separate ways...

                      • Okay I'm curious... How much power, if you had to guess, would my car be producing at the engine?

                        I heard there's a 20% drive train loss to the wheels, but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

                        It's RWD with 354whp.

                          • I agree. Going by dynochart using stock hp on stock car, power produced at wheels, I worked it out to be roughly 64hp loss through manual trans. But hp loss can vary, depending on how much clutch clips and factory engines don't always produce same hp, so could be way out if applied to other cars.
