duhawks Report post Posted October 17, 2013 I honestly rather not get into any of that. Too many feelings get hurt in this hobby unfortunately. I actually enjoy getting trashed talked, banned, going back and forth with friends, and just being really competitive. That is what is fun for me. At the end of the day I don't take anything personally at all. A lot of people don't understand what goes on behind the scenes and only see what is on these silly forums. These forums get taken too serious at times. I use it for entertainment. If I need a good laugh I hop on trash talk my buddies. It is almost as fun as actually racing. If you don't have any skin in the game then I also don't think anyone gets an opinion or deserves any explanation. I don't really care to elaborate any because I feel like its irrelevant. I don't put my personal business on the forums. That is what the phones, and emails are for, business. These forums are just for fun.

Oh I wasn't directing that at you I actually laughed when I got banned. Getting banned means I doing something right with talking trash lol. I was just talking about the reasons to why I sent my car to UGR. I have gotten called and text a lot about it. But I feel like I don't owe anyone an explanation unless your about maybe 3 people. It is good to get back on here and stir stuff up I am confused on which name I should use though some times lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhawks Report post Posted October 18, 2013 The whole situation sucks. All I know is karma is a bitch.... It does suck. What makes it worse is people who comment on it and don't have the entire story or even know about it. I have spent the last year donating two cars to them for R and D and I have spent a ton of money at the shop. I never once asked for favors there or for hookups. I always paid my way and told Cicio that would always be the case. I even totaled my first car but I never once got mad about it. I even almost died.. I chalked it up to R and D and kept pushing forward because I was a team player. I have never said one bad thing about that shop and have always had their back. It is clear it is one sided. If they want to make me look bad so be it. I know the story. Guy called them yesterday asking them about my car because it is still listed for sale. They said they didn't know anything about that car. Hah... shows true colors. I am not going to get into any of this with anyone. At the end of the day all I can do is be honest. If people cannot accept that then fine. That is on them not me. I wanted a fast car and UGR is king of that. That is why I sent them my car. End of story. Karma is a bitch. I suggest everyone act like adults. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

medici78 Report post Posted October 18, 2013 I think drama just naturally comes with the car game. I have to say though, there's nothing like skipping all that when going with a proven package like UGR's. It won't be cheap, but its as close to drama free as 4-digit horsepower gets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say though, there's nothing like skipping all that when going with a proven package like UGR's. It won't be cheap, but its as close to drama free as 4-digit horsepower gets I had my car at an exotic car show over the weekend where there were several dealers with cars present, and a Porsche salesman asked me how much power it made, and after I told him 1k whp on pump, he said, "Well how many problems have you had since you had that done?" I said "none whatsoever," and he looked really surprised, and then he said "Well how is the driveability compared to stock?" and I said "It drives exactly like stock except it goes a whole lot faster when you press the gas." I'm pretty sure he didn't believe me, but oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhawks Report post Posted October 18, 2013 Gallardo/R8 is the best platform in my opinion. You can crank a lot of power out and grip isn't an issue, neither is breaking parts if the tuner knows what they are doing. I see more and more GTRs break. I really think with the dropping prices of the Gallardos and the R8s we will see more guys buy the cars and TT them for sure.

duhawks Report post Posted October 18, 2013 He's still in the honeymoon phase, give it time. LOL BINGO. Can't wait for my wife to realize I get on her nerves so she tells me to get out of the house for a bit. One time I was roll racing and talking to her on the blue tooth at the same time lol.

I'm pretty sure he didn't believe me, but oh well. There's some folks on here who also have trouble believing it, but its much more fun to live in teh game than on the sidelines talking shit. I did have a vacuum leak on mine that was easily rectified, but the root cause had nothing to do with the UGR installation. The only real increase in running costs for me has been the C16 expense.

houstonT Report post Posted October 19, 2013 The race heads are part of the "R" package but many of us stage 3 guys run them because you can make 100-150 more whp on 93 octane pump gas (around 1150 whp). Not only that, you get more area under the curve across the whole rpm range, better spool, more responsive, etc... What's the difference between the race engine head and a regular engine head?

That would require the UGR cars to actually show up to a sanctioned TX event and not just hard park at the beginning of the drag strip.
