Thanks man, its good to know that there is a DSM Wisemen that lives 15mins away from me.

 

[robs90tsi]

yup yup, from Rt 14 you take pepper, then commercial is the next road on your right, once on commercial look to your right for all the Evos and DSM's

 

[98EclipseGST06]

Thanks man, do they not answer the phone very often because we can't get a hold of anyone and the voicemail is full....?

 

[kinkz1g]

nah their fone is broken i just got mine tuned there on sunday. youre just gonna have to go there. they street tuned mine about 15 mins after i walked in so you should be fine

 

[robs90tsi]

Im getting my trans rebuilt by them right now, ill let you know the outcome when i get it back and get it in my car.

 

[robs90tsi]

Has anyone been able to get ahold of Devo since this Tuesday?? I keep calling but they dont pick up, im just wonderin if anyone else cat reach them, their v-mail is full, i was thinkin theyre just busy, but its all the time, i could call for a half hour straight and they wont pick up, i havent done it but it seems like i could, maybe theyre phone is broken or something.

Adam never answers the phone, everytime i'm there when he gets a phone call he just puts the phone on mute and keeps talking to whoever. Your best bet is to just go there and talk to him.

 

[robs90tsi]

Ya i know that, but he picked up at least every once in a while, now this week hes just not picking up at all, I gave him my trans Saturday, and todays thursday, and havent heard from him since saturday

 

[98EclipseGST06]

Yea we got a hold of him thursday and setup a tuning date you just gotta keep calling and calling until he answers, but let me know how the tranny is!

 

[robs90tsi]

I will, they are getting the parts in tomorrow and said they should have it together by tomorrow, with a double synchro 2nd gear.... finally gonna get it into my car again

 

[gma0408]

Does anyone know how much they charge per hour for diagnosis?...or for a street tune?

 

[dr1ftx3]

Pretty sure its like 75 bucks for a street tune. They charged me 60 tho because I had them do a shitload of work too.

 

[98EclipseGST06]

They had some sick evo's there with some of the biggest intercoolers i've ever seen. Their 9sec Lancer is tight with the exhaust coming from the headers out from the front bumper. They do some crazy stuff overthere.

 

[robs90tsi]

yea, finally got my trans in and my car running, the trans shifts like butter, and i still have to break it in, im using Costal 75w-90, no problems, i only took it around my neighborhood, my wheel bearing is sooo bad on my drivers side my wheel moves left to right reall bad at low speeds, and i can watch the wheel move, its shot

 

[gma0408]

how much did they charge? I might need my tranny rebuilt soon too.

 

[robs90tsi]

$400 labor firm + parts, mine came to $947, double synchro 2nd gear, all new synchros, new bearings, and i think one other thing was replaced but im not sure, i took it out and its nice as hell to shift now, not super smooth in 2nd yet, but shit the thing doesnt even have 10 miles on it yet so i just gotta break it in

 

[98EclipseGST06]

So you like what devo did for you?? My buddys is getting his car tuned and a few other things like stock fuel regulator, Changing the map sensor, adding a heat sensor, spark plug wires, re-tapping the head to fix the bolts that were stripped, fixing his cam gear bushing or spring thing (idk) and tuning and hes at $2000 thats crazy.

 

[steve]

My buddys is getting his car tuned, bla, bla, bla, and hes at $2000 thats crazy.

Since you don't seem to know exactly what's being done I don't see how you can decide if the price is unreasonable. I know I can't.

Then it's no wonder why he hasn't returned any of my 5 emails I have sent him in the last month. I'm tyring to purchase a Quarter Master twin-disk clutch kit from him but if he can't return an email then I'm just going to have to take my business elsewhere. I mean, why have a webiste with a contact email address if you're not going to use it? Bad business in my opinion. And not anwsering his phone, that's just ridiculous. He needs to at least hire someone to answer his phones, answer basic questions and if there is something they can't anwser then take down that persons info where Adam can call them back at a later time. He might do a good job at what he does, but there's more to running a business than just working on the cars.

I 101% fully agree with you, he did never answer the phone, i called literally 10 times before i got an answer, there was one full week where he didnt answer the phone, and when he did he told me oh our mechanic has been out for a week, call back and ill let you know whats wrong, i called back and never got an answer, its very frustrating. Devo does great work, my trans is real nice, shifts smooth, im still breaking it in, its only got like 10 miles on it though, I think that customer service is dead with these tuning shops, i almost drove to Devo because i couldnt get ahold of them to see what the story with my trans was, but i called on my way and they picked up. I do think that Devo needs to hire someone who can just sit there at that desk all day, handle customers calls, set up appointments, and customer payment, then Devo would be much much much more productive and/or busy as hell, i know as a customer i do not like having to call numerous times to get an answer, it drives my buisness somewhere else. But reguardless, I'd still go to Devo for my car, just because they know what they are doing, the price is right, and i trust them with my car, even if it took a while to communicate.

11sec gsx I hear tha clutch is a monster to handle, hope you're making a racecar ### its definately not a daily drivable clutch haha.

I know more than a few people street driving that clutch, 5 personally. I don't think it will be a problem. Besides, my car does not see much street action, and no single discs are holding up to 650whp very well.

 

[dr1ftx3]

I know evil_eagle uses one and he is very happy with it, same with yusef begic he is devo's sponsored evoII driver (one of the fastest evos in the world). Only bad thing I hear about it is that is pretty noisy.
