How NOT to swap your FD. 56k, no no!!!!!!

Csomme · 03-30-2010, 09:12 AM

That is a shop that is somewhat local to me. Top Dead Center. One of the drivers out around the Myrtle Beach area is sponsored by them.

Kinda makes you want to go and beat the shit out of some people. I'd really like to know if there is going to be a lawsuit.

w0nderbr3ad · 03-30-2010, 10:34 AM

he got raped for those prices. All the pictures of the work TDC had done made my stomach hurt.

charlie321 · 03-30-2010, 10:50 AM

I couldn't believe what I just saw. I'm glad it was taken to someone who knows what they are doing.

Cheesy Doriftos · 03-30-2010, 10:52 AM

oh my gawd.

Bubbles · 03-30-2010, 10:59 AM

This is what you get for putting LS into the holy of holys.

Is 14k the going rate? Even done right that seems like a lot.

GREXS14 · 03-30-2010, 11:01 AM

bottom of the page is from the shop who did the original work.

carolina nissan bassicly took the side of tdc to keep them as a sponsor

You need to know all the facts before posting false information. Carolina Nissans has no sponsors. The site is paid for by the owner and through member fees/donations only.

woops misread this part

From co-owner of CH.com and INC (both now TDC sponsored):
QUOTE
I just got off the phone w/ Chris, the owner of TDC. Chris, Roger, & I have a long standing relationship. I've been traveling since Wednesday, March 24, 2010 to all the current sponsor shops on INC & the ones on CH to give them an update of what's going on w/ both sites. TDC is one of the shops that we will bring to INC due to their reputation. I have seen a lot of work that has come out of TDC & I just discussed each picture from the first post w/ Chris to get a full perspective.

As of this moment, Chris is not going to post about the situation. His shop is taking a beating from all over the Internet & it's in his best interest to let this cool down while he prepares a proper response. Roger & I stand behind Top Dead Center, but we also need to let the members know about situations. We are stuck between a rock & a hard place; Chris as a long term commitment & the commitment we have to the members of this forum.

This actually comes at a good time. The reason is, we are about to make the rules/policies concerning sponsors that we allow on INC & the guidelines. This post will be a good example to help us outline those policies.

The fact that Top Dead Center is not coming onto the Internet arguing, cussing, fueling this fire, etc is excellent. We want sponsors that keep a level head & that is the situation w/ Chris.

I am going to lock this thread. Nothing else needs to be said here & we will await Top Dead Center's response.

Thank you,

Pete

it will be ok.

after shots saved the thread.

TDC's "custom" work looks like a bag of dicks

bones321 · 03-30-2010, 11:15 AM

and that place is still open??

***CrimsonRockett*** · 03-30-2010, 11:29 AM

This definitely tops RB Performance.

Holy shit.

Dude brings his FD to a place called Top Dead Center to have a swap done for $14k plus $2k to upgrade to an LS6. The work is BEYOND terrible. And he ends up just getting an LS1.

Here's another thread with some pics.

*ManoNegra* · 03-30-2010, 01:11 PM

guy has rx7 fd

gets car back running like utter shit (apperantly they still gave him an LS1 with LS6 covers?)
takes it to someone who knows what he's doing
found a ton of problems (no where near 14k worth of work)
hosting site apperantly took thread down since its a sponser (sp)

same here...atleast i got to read the first page...what a jank site to pull shit like that only to keep money flowing...weres the member loyalty...then again, its not my money taken out of my pocket...sucks balls though

ILoveMyRHS13 · 03-30-2010, 01:22 PM

Wow, I'm glad I read all of it before it was deleted.

Pretty terrible work. I will NEVER, EVER take my car to a shop. There are just too many horror stories. A local has an LS1'd 240 and it, too was done by a shop and was done terribly.

Teddy · 03-30-2010, 01:23 PM

Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't put a V8 in an RX7.
