I think that you guys have everything except an AWD dyno. I have never seen your fabrication or Tuning capabilities tho. I dont think on hand inventory besides what you have(ARPs, Bearings, Gaskets) is nessesary considering you can get it pretty much next day anyways. And I believe your prices are decent enough to not need more specials. Just my two cents.

Pick up an Amsoil dealership so you can sell their EA (rebadged Donaldson) filtration products. I wouldn't push the Amsoil lubrication products as I believe that a number of their products are more snake oil than anything.

Add Adel Wiggins to your list of available product lines.

Add a gallery to your website.

Put together a line of stainless downpipes which are a 2.5"-->3" transition. I'll be the first in line for a 1G AWD model.

If you have a weak point, don't pretend that it doesn't exist. Be 100% up front with people.

Don't turn into another Slowboy Racing.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel with everything you do. There are too many shops which pretend to do this and they only make themselves look like immature fools because of their true lack of long-term experience like that had by Buschur, Marco, Shepherd, Brown, etc. There is a difference between reinventing the wheel and ingenuity. Don't market yourselves as experts because you may have won X award or received Y certification.

Prove to us (the members) why we should give you business. Obviously you have the Toonerz crowd on your side by the discounts you're offering them but there are many people like me who look beyond the price.

Other: more involvement in the community? Come to some tuesday bee's gatherings, etc. I don't *ever* see you guys!

**Halon** · 03-20-2007

Ya, come out to bee's and stuff like that. I know you think I'm a crazy drunk, but hey we're good people!

Thank you! This is exactly what I am looking for, and I will personally look into these changes.

Can you elaborate more in regards to proving to the members why they should give us business? Our focus right now is not only on lower prices, but also fast fulfillment and exceptional customer service.

Thanks again!

Pictures can do wonders for people. Fill your gallery with pictures of your fabrication and installations. For example, I couldn't care any less if you or any other vendor has sold 391 FMIC piping kits as unless I see examples of quality work, it's not earning my business. I'm far from a welding expert but too many people have no clue what the difference between shitty and quality fabrication truly is. Look at the prices that SLS and Shearer are able to charge for their tubular manifolds. It is because of the reputation that their manifolds have for quality and that the internet is flooded with pictures and feedback proving that reputation.

I went there a couple times with Tauni!

Therefore you cannot hate!

We will probably roll out tonight in the GTO!

Oh, and I said other, because I could use some more fucking money! So lets work on that!
