Do any Vendors Actually Drive/Race our cars

Are we all just buying from shops that ***** parts or are any of the vendors actually "TUNERS" ?

It just seems so different in the import world particularly the 7th gens. I also have a Ford Lightning and I have a "Tuner", he tunes, races, and develops parts for the truck. He has a Lightning himself that he uses to test all his stuff. I just feel more comfortable buying something from someone who actually uses the product they sell.

I think that both dezod and RobearRacing own EM2s. Also, MugenRacerX (aka HondaWerx) had a EM2 until he got his DC5.

I do believe hondawerx has a couple. They have a k20 and a regular one I believe. I could be wrong though. I do know that they have a k20 not sure about the regular one.

That is good to know, I just bought a bunch of stuff from Dezod. I just like to send my money to people who can give me the proper advice when needed.

hondawerx doesn't own the cars, they just build them up for publicity. They are locals from the area who get some major discounts on the parts (what I've heard).

I'm also known as the vendor "carsoption." That's why there's a picture of my ride under the screen name carsoption.
