Is dauntless legit?Is he for real?

The Indy guys along with the LOUKY guy rolled with he and Ezcheese last night. I am here to say these two guys are legit. We stayed up until the wee hours of the night helping OneFastStanza put on his new head for his Spec V. Now, how many shop owners do you know that would help perform an install for free and give technical advise with no benefit to his bottom line? I hereby pronounce a moratorium on new threads about Dauntless questioning his legitimacy.

I will be leaving Indy shortly for the BG meet. Any of you guys see a Platinum Silver WRX flying down I-65, get out of my way, merge right and let me by.

True "dat." I spoke at length with Dauntless and Ezcheese at the meet today. I couldn't have been more impressed. They are, indeed, very legit, and good people.

To put it simply, I finally got all my 240sx->SR20det questions satisfactorily answered. There aren'y many people who can do that ;) (at least not to my satisfaction).

They were both very very informative, and very level headed. I am sure with just the right amount of luck their business will flourish. I will be one of their first customers...and I wish you two the best of luck tomorrow on opening day.

I talkd with Daunt for a good time at the meet yesterday, he is very smart, educated, and repsectful. No reason why he will be getting a lot of our business.

Yeah, whatever happened to your car Stanza? You shoulda come to the meet anyways, you had the GMC. : ) Also, was the footage of us leaving the Meijers parking lot good? Lastly, O2 eliminators are made for a number of OBDII cars to fool it into thinking that the other sensor is present when it isn't, I'm not sure if they make them specifically for 240's or not. : ) Also, with a CA18 it doesn't matter much as you only have 1 O2 sensor anyways.

Dammit, give credit where it's due! My hand is still bruised from the wrench that got the old O2 sensor out of the stock manifold. Hehe. Good stuff! ;)

Don't forget $$$ consuming. I find now that I don't have a girlfriend I have a lot more money to put toward my car. Of course now I don't have a job either, so it still doesn't do me that much good.

Well I talked to the guy at Speed and Performance and he said that the O2 Eliminator was just two harnesses and you need the stock O2 or something to work with it so I said teh heck with it.

So today in between when I was at work (I have been pretty much at work for 24 hours :mad: ), I called up Courtesy Nissan to work some contacts and hopefully they will have an O2 sensor out to me by Thursday or so unless the part is on backorder in which case I am screwed but they are getting it from corporate cause they didn't have the one I needed in stock so I am hoping they can get it to me or no Tuner Bash for me :(

Yeah I know what the O2 Eliminiators do I was just desparate cause the stealership here acted like they wouldn't be able to get me a sensor for a few weeks and I need it by Friday. Not to mention they wanted to charge me $144 for the damn thing.

Anyhow Courtesy will be getting me out one as soon as they can for $103 so hopefully it will arrive in a couple days.

Oh and I didn't roll down there cause I was depressed abiout my POS and I was tired. Not to mention the GMC eats gas like crazy and I had to go to work that night (I hate being low man on the totem pole). I haven't looked at the video though. I haven;t had time to.
