Lmao, haven't heard of them in quite some time. I agree with one of the guys post," wire tuck looks fake". I mean theirs no power steering, maf, head lights, ect. Of course its gonna look clean.

I'm going to keep my eye on them as a vendor there, it's gonna get interesting/bad/ugly/done very quickly once a couple people have something done there... I dislike that entire family so much I'd scrap a car before I'd sell it to them. They're in the business of doing extremely shady work and ripping people off under the term "Performance shop"
I have personally witnessed one of the porters (no name) use an IMPACT to install a set of head bolts!! Needless to say they snapped off in the block, the scary part was when he kept going... once 3 broke he'd decided to stop... 1-2 broken studs is ok enough to press on?? lol
I could go on about more, but I don't think I need to.

i thought austin was part of SIM with john and a couple other guys in kzoo? or maybe he learned a thing or two from his dad and is working multiple angles.
in any event i'm sure he'll burn his own bridges in no time if his past doesn't come back to haunt him first. those porters kids are the few people i wouldn't feel bad ripping off if the opportunity presented itself.

i thought austin was part of SIM with john and a couple other guys in kzoo? They split ways sometime after the Shoutout last year. I have personally witnessed one of the porters (no name) use an IMPACT to install a set of head bolts!! Seriously?!?

As if he thought that's how everyone put on a cylinder head. Other's were around too, and either didn't notice, or simply neglected to say anything, but probably just shared the same ignorance.

Absolute ignorance. I hope no one gets screwed over by this family from the things that's I've heard. Integrity and reputation carry you farther than any performance "upgrades" ever could.

Dont bet on it, One of the mods went through and deleted any discriminating posts in the announcement thread. They want people to use the right "channels" when they don't even have a review thread open yet. At this point I have said my piece, and I know better then to get ripped off by them. If and once some one does, then they can be exposed to the dsmtuners community. Until then everyone will gawk about this "wire tuck" BS they are trying to sell.

So I guess I was listened to, because they now have a Vendor Review Link.. So those of us that were screwed or ripped off by them, or even received bad customer service need to get on there, vote and maybe even leave your comments. I'm not one of those people, so I cant help out there. But If you have had a bad experience with them, share your story so that out of state guys will know what scammers they are. www.dsmtuners.com/links/dsm-vendors-2/porters-performance-324/
