DO NOT USE HOUSTON PERFORMANCE!!!

Todd_A · 01-28-2001, 12:34 AM

They fucked my friends car BAD!! It's the yellow Cobra that blew the motor at FFW Ennis. He goes today to pick it up after 2 months(it was supposed to be like a week or two). Just looking at the car he sees a cracked windshield and something green "growing" on his chrome wheels. Not sure what that was. Then he finds out they stole his JMS chip out of his car and cut the chip switch off and it was laying in the floor. Their explaination for that was "it must have got used on someone else's car". The clutch was out of adjustment when they shouldn't have even been ******* with it. They didn't change his o2 sensors. They still had water and oil in them from when the motor blew. They were supposed to have it dyno tuned by the time he got there, but it hadn't even been driven. It won't idle below 1100, and only one of the new o2 sensors they put in there is working. He asked them if they checked several obvious things and they were like "Uh Um I think so."
They charged him like $4800 for this **** and the owner was there with all of this going on.

Apparently Houston Performance SUCKS!!!!

I couldn't agree more. If I don't know how to do it...it dosen't get done. It's better because if something is f***ed you have a good idea what you have to do to un***k it. just my .02. I have been known to screw up a mod here and there but that's how ya learn.
