I would give you another chance, I'm sure people can change, but I sure as hell would have changed the name, because name recognition will carry around the image you had in the past. (That's not cool, but that's the way it is) if I meet a neighbor who's name is Charles Manson, I'm gonna hide the knives FIRST! Then say hello. Lol. Your name goes hand in hand with the rep of your past. Things will change over time, just sayin.
The name, let's just say I have spent a very large sum of money fighting over my name and logo in the past few years - and I am not giving it up that easy!
Things will change, and they have greatly already. We do not have one person here in sales that was with us two years ago other than Joe Shuler... but he is the man - he has very little issues with his customers, he is a great guy.
Thank you however again, call or email us anytime.
Glad we are getting this out in the open!

I don't mean any disrespect at all. I think everyone deserves another chance and have their previous slates wiped clean. I think your shop and your staff are off to a good start and wish you all the best.
What can I do to help you guys advertise, I am on the east coast in Maryland, about 15 minutes from Washington D.C.
I would like to help in any way and be a part of a new beginning.

If it is a large car meet, arrange it with Marti and we can get you some "goodies" to pass out compliments of us.

Are you looking for something out of the ordinary - a custom type set up?
I think Jarrett here is good enough to take on this type of challenge, yes.
Our ceramic coating oven will be up and running in about two weeks as well.

Ok Great. I am a member on dcevoclub, I know they have a number of meets planned in the area that I can make it out to on the weekends. There use to be a few little meets in my area (parking lot meets, shopping center meets) I will have to check it out and would be more than happy to get your name out.
Not sure if you guys will be making parts for the G8 GT, if you are, I am also on the G8boards and would be happy to spread the word over there as well.
Anything to help you guys get going, it has always been my dream, hence TheDream, to own an evo and learn as much about the car and hobby as possible. I have a passion for what I have been given and only wish to share that passion with others.

I damn sure would give you guys another chance! You know your name got a bit "smudged" with the crew in PA, but since you have a new crew, new location, and a new start,people will look closely at you and the shop to make sure the "new" SBR is NOT operating like the old SBR, and I doubt it is.
Be nice fellas, someone give them a second chance, and report on here with your rants/raves. My guess is they won't be like the OLD SBR.

Well, you can't use the "move" as an excuse anymore. I hope you fired everyone and re-hired some intellegent people. I have a very bad taste in my mouth from my experience with you recently and it's gonna be a long time before I think about doing any kind of business with you again.

Still, we are not perfect - but we are trying our best to make everyone happy.
Machine shop will be fully perational by Friday, we are currently building 4 and 4.... that is 4 cylinder heads a week, and 4 blocks a week.. we have the capacity to double this but need to win back a few people!

Most likely, you would need to change more than the manifold to notice any real gains - have you thought of just letting us port the o2 housing and exhaust manifold - ?? The o2 housing is good for a few HP and ft/lbs for sure and we can turn it around quick for you.

Not an easy move, but hopefully one that will in the end be a good decision for us.
