Buschur Racing Bumble Bee experience... (long)

About 3 years ago when I got tired of shops not knowing anything about Evo's and claiming to be a professionals I finally wised up and took my car to Buschur Racing. I have lived in 3 different states, probably have been to 12 different shops, and still none compare. Let me tell you first hand that the experience, service, and quality that comes out of that shop is unparallel. My car was never abused by people at the shop, they treated as their own. My bills are always fair and what I ask for is taken care of in a timely manner. I just don't understand why I wasn't there from the beginning? Where ever I am at my car will be shipped there, no questions asked!

I was picked up at the airport by JRod (who used to own my little sisters car ) and showed up at the shop around 12 PM. Daniel was there with my keys and said take her out and let us know. I got into the car and found a little note saying; race gas in car / high boost. Took off from the shop down the highway and I honestly didn't want to turn around or get off the gas. It reached 120 MHP (which is the top of my 3rd gear) so damn fast that it actually scared me. I came back to the shop with a HUGE grin and couldn't believe how well the car came out. I had the a brand new Buschwacker Trans. installed, the BR double pumper, a high boost tune (39.5 psi), and some other things sorted out. The car has never ran better! I used to own an Evo but now I own a BR Supercar! Let me tell you the feeling you get when a brand new Viper pulls up to you and you pull him by 6 cars from a roll... ON PUMP GAS!!! Worth every penny of the build right there!

I wanted to share my experience with everyone because they definitely need to be thanked and spotlighted. If you ever have a doubt on where to send you car or have your next build done at be sure when it goes to Wakeman Ohio your not going to be disappointed.

Some pics below:

Equals one happy Evo!

WOW

Nice set-up

Sounds like all you need now is some seat time to get the car off the line well enough as i'm sure you have enough HP to go into the 9's.

All top notch parts and done by top notch racers

I can't wait until my car is done .......

Please keep us updated on track times and vids

p.s. Any dyno #'s / graph?

FINALLY, A ONE UP!!!! I am saving this quote for sure.

Thanks again for detailing my car for me. It came out awesome and never looked better. It really needed a wash after the trip on the back of that truck. Very well done!

I also forgot to mention that on the way home from Wakeman Ohio to Washington Pa. I had less than 3/4 of a tank of gas in the car. I made it back without the gas light coming on!!! Unreal!

Thanks
My friend is a photographer and is going to take pics of her when I get home next. My front lip was crushed by the shipping company so it's not ready for her close up... LOL It should be there this week.
