Last time I went there, there was someone watching tv. When I walked in he gave me the "why the **** are you here look". Allen was very helpful though.

LOL, im sorry... this is the last time im mentioning any experiences with shops. lol, i didnt mean to start any arguements. as for the bad service and not getting any help thing, Vakamon did help me right away. im sure it happens tho. it happens everywhere else as well. i have been to other places but just left because of bad service.

as for the BS Flag, raise it all u want. what happend to me happened. if u dont want to believe me, then dont.....

and jon is kinda right, im sure that not all the salesperson is like that..it seems like they judge and if they don't like you by the way you look they would not help..and it seems like they only help their regular customers or folks that have serious money- it's like you have to go to them for help now. i think it's just wrong, whatever happen to that customer service where you make customers feel welcome...at least tell the person if he/she need any assistance feel free to asked...ok
btw..who's the guy that owns the mazda speed(i think), he was helpful at the time i went there...

oh yeah, went into Eurosport right b4, asked the guy what size Broadway I should get, he looked at me, shrugged and walked away......BIG THUMBS DOWN...on customer service for those guys..

Yeah I feel you like most here on the awd dyno i guess thats why the AP is so popular out here. Anyways here are the pics I took just a little while ago sorry no under carriage shots got lazy to pull out the jack but maybe later when I go under there again this week to put my sway bars in.

nice!
but I would suggest that you put the heat sheild back on since your TMIC will suffer from heat soake!!!
Also when I got my accessport mine didn't come in a nice box like that... mine came in a Fedex BAG!
