i think porters performance is a RIP OFF. I bought a body kit last nov. it look about 5 months to get in when it came in it had the wrong front clip. the owner told me that was too bad for me and wouldnt get the part i ordered. all he would do is giveme the wrong front or buy it from me for 150. that is the worst business i have ever heard of.

that place is a pile of shit. I called them and inquired about what parts they keep in stock for DSMs, because thats what their classified ads SAID they specialized in, and when I called the guy there didnt know what D.S.M. stood for. Wierd, huh? SO I drove out to there shop to see if they maybe kept intercooler piping instock, hoping that if the guy didnt know what DSM stood for, that he wouldnt know how much to charge for some piping. When I got there, this Hillbilly-bob motherfucker argued with me that my car was an Eclipse and not a Talon. Yes, he argued with me about what kind of car I OWNED. And even further,... he argued with me that if I was looking for DSM parts, then I would HAVE to own an Eclipse, because Talons ARENT DSMs... Yes, exactly what I thought>>>"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS PLACE?" Overall, it was a good experience. haha

oh man is that place hilarious. i went there last fall when they were still in plainwell and all i had to say was wow. i'll just list all the stupid stuff that was said/happened in no particular order of hilariousness -saw a 91 tsi awd for sale out front with a few other imports. started checking it out and realized there was td04 13g on it (m/t car) and the guy kept telling me it was mint stock unmolested -while in the shop, they asked me about dyno tuning and i chuckled cuz i had just got done telling the guy that my galant was awd and such. then they replied back with saying "no you just remove the driveshaft for dyno pulls. thats what they all do" -i also asked if they do any fabrication work of any sort and well that went nowhere right from the beginning so yeah wasnt impressed with em. oh and the lime green kitted 1g that they have hurts my eyes

yeah i kinda really got fucked over by em. And they dont really know shit. He tried to tell me that DSM's only come with the 6 bolt? But he told me the one i bought ( for why i dont know i should of held out) them was a 6 bolt. It twas a 7bolt. Plus he sold it to me with a bad waterpump yeah. I didnt know it was bad till it overheated and warped the head. And i will put pics up of that waterpump once i get un lazy

O snap. I have seen that pile in Portage. That thing is fugly. I went to their shop/house when they were in Plainwell. I wouldn't buy shit from them. They need to spend some time on Tuners before they go working on DSM and Talons . They should print off the Vfaq, blow it up and hang it on the wall in their shop.....Drop the drive shaft to Dyno. WEak, if you are going to claim to be a dsm shop, cough up the cash and buy the rest of the dyno so you can tune AWD cars. All that being said. I think I'm going to see if I can get that 1g body kit and have my car painted teal and purple with green zebra stripes. o shit, its going to be mAdTyTe y0.

I have got to say, Porters is not that bad for what it seems to be. I have taken my ride to Porters many times and each time my car has been fixed correctly the first time and at some very competitive prices. I have to say their place needs some updating, but knowledge and excellent prices beats that anyday. I doubt the stories some of the idiots say in the forum. I have had problems with my car and within a day, any day of the week, they will come to GR to pick up my car (tow) and have it ready within a few days, no matter the problem. I did not have a bunch of teenagers and clicks walking over my car while it was down there, or have sales people breathing down my neck for more money (modifiedfx) and it was cheap. I have to give him some support for saving my ass for years and I will continue to until I am done with DSMs.
