So I walked in to rpm since I was at richmond fasteners on broad and thought I would give it a shot. So I asked the dude and he said...huhh? wha??
Then I proceeded to ask him if he had any t-bolt clamps....again....huhh?? wha?? I just said nevermind and left.

I even met the owner once I think it was him when I was trying to sell some shit to him after we closed down...I had some extra honda manifolds, wastegates and downpipes. The guy I spoke to was really nice and one of the employees but a universal downpipe with a t3 turbine flange.

I mean I guess if you are into chrome rims, audio, tints ect the shop is great....but most are not on here are not into that.

I am not meaning to bust balls here but am curious, since I owned a fab shop. Do you fab things on site? Last time I was there I did not see any fab equipment like lathes, tig welders, plasma cutters, jigs etc just standard tools and lifts.

Now RPM is into performance just as much as it is into tint, its not like it used to be. they are very nice guys, u should go to the party at have a nice day cafe, if that seems weird to u, go to RPM on saturday evening, thats when u can meet everyone and find out what the guys there are like. there are tig welders, lifts, dont know about plasma cutters, didnt see those, but they have jigs and stuff. they'll customize most things, and are going to get into the fab stuff, the only thing is time... so come up and meet the guys.

I've been driving behind that thing before and when he hits the gas I was almost blinded by the amount of black smoke pouring from the exhaust. Something is seriously fucked up with the tuning in that car. If RPM doesn't have enough knowledge to fix that then i wouldn't ever trust taking my car to get worked on by them.

RPM has the knowledge to fix the problem, just not the time.(before) and before u start making assumptions go and ask them about it. They won't gun u down for asking a question. Nice guys if u get to know them...
