http://www.tunertransformation.com They tell you how you can get your car put on the show. BUT, the catch is, you don't get a say in what is done to it. BS. If i had that RX8 and they had the nuts to do that to it, i would have stipped it back down to stock and Ebay the parts they put on it.

OMG that show was horrible, i saw the first one with RX-8; added some graphics, rims, NOS and the show is called tuner transformation. damn it was weak.....

saw the second only because they had an s13 coupe. thinking to myself this week could be better. majority of the show you have the two knuckle heads *****ing at each other. the show was still weak, but at least there was a difference from the beginning and ending results. the car looked awesome. but you never see it drift or perform.

"two thumbs down" for tuner transformation.

one of the things that bothered me too was them talking about drifting, and they never onced mention swapping the LSD rear end on the car. An open diff is too hard to do a real drift in.

if you guys don't like the show, put together a pitch for a new show that does the subject justice........

the majority of the crowd out there would have no idea what an sr was anyway.

the thing that i didnt like was the addition of stuff that they didnt even mention, like the 5 lug and the silvia headlight conversion. 30 minutes wasnt enough to cover it all.

they need to do either a 1hr show or a 2part 30 minute show for each car. I just finished sending them an email with some ideas to make it better.

Dumb show because they tried to make it hip with drama going into it ::lame:: (at the beginning at least.

but the car did turn out nice. btw did anyone see the wing on that thing what did it look like i missed it.

I admit, the end product looked great, but the body of the show was just done tastelessly. THey tried making it seem like American Choppers or something with all the made up drama

I noticed that too, but I didnt pay much attn to it. I think he was just happy to have a good looking car. Even though that wing needs to go. the car isnt going to be taking off for flight anytime soon.

They barely talk shop. Do you think they could handle drive? Come on they don't even show footage most of the time cause there too embarrassed. I bet they don't show much work cause the have real mechanic’s behind the camera. That would explain A TON
