Hi,

I've browsed through the AZHT vendors, but I don't seem to be having much luck.

I have a '97 prelude running Hondata (S300), built head, and bolt ons. It is EXTREMELY cold blooded when it's cold out. It took me over 5 minutes of cranking to get it started this morning and I can't possibly describe how annoyed I'm getting by this.

The car was previously tuned by:

Inside Superior Racing Development (SRD)
1980 E. 5th St.
Tempe, AZ 85281
480-829-1919
www.xactdyno.com

I've also chatted with Joe @ Locash and at first, he seemed like he could help.

However, I've left messages at both shops and netiher seem to find it neccessary to respond.

Does anybody know of a reputable and talented shop to help me fix my issue ASAP?

Thanks,
Dylan

Joe @ Locash gets my vote; I would never take my Honda anywhere else.

x2. Everytime I see him he's on the run somewhere, or setting up/taking down parts on the mill, etc...he's very busy, but he's also VERY good at what he does. Probably one of the best, to be honest. Knowing him, I can tell you this; if he doesn't call you back, it's not because he doesn't want your business, or because he's an asshole, or because you're not worth his time, or anything like that. Joe is a super nice guy, he's just way busy. Just call him after noon or 1pm, Monday through Friday. That usually seems to work best for me. Hope that helps.

Joe IS an asshole!!! Dont let the Nice Guy look fool you!
I Love You Sugar!!!

Seriously...We drive up from Tucson to get Joe's AMAZING Abilities.
Joe is 1 of the best tuners in Country. He is truly gifted when it comes to Honda's. He doesnt avoid anyone (EXCEPT ME!!!) and if he doesnt answer he is truly busy....He probably can hear the phone most of the time anyways.

Keep trying....He isnt around til after 12:00.

Good Luck!

Sorry about the phone calls, I rarely find the time to check my messages, and it is pretty loud in my shop.. If you need tuning done, make an appointment on my website (http://www.locashracing.com/pages/dyno) and show up, I'll take care of you. :)
