Hi Rick. First, thanks for the offer. I've actually got a guy back in the states that tuned car with it on a dyno, and was starting to help me over the phone, but I got so busy with the Army that I had no time to finish the street tune myself. I want to learn how to tune all of the BS3's tables and in particular how troubleshoot driveability issues. I'm going to be back in the states in November for a couple of weeks and when I get there, I'm going to work on the tune again. So, I'd like to learn more about the system before I go. I'm not really looking for tuners per se, unless they want to get into the discussion and give advice or learning points.
Second, I will not work with Don Bailey. In fact, I hope I never meet the guy in person, because I'm so pissed at him I don't know if I'd be able to control my anger. Despite numerous attempts, practically begging to pay him to tune my car, he continuously blew me off, and I posted in the feedback forums at Turbomustangs.com about my experiences with him - the way he dragged me along and failed to follow through with his promises. He went so far as to threaten me legally, which only angered me further. Then, because I was deployed, I'd previously given him my Mother's phone number as a point of contact if he needed to get information to me about tuning the car. Can you believe that he called her to complain that I was slandering and defaming him. I know that what I wrote made him look like a real jackass, and he was unable to defend against my comments. He told me that he was previously some type of lawyer and that he would sue me. I welcomed it, but no surprise to me, he was blowing hot air. Defamation and slander only apply when the comments are untrue. Further, I felt I had been harrassed - who calls an adult's mom like that, honestly? She couldn't believe it, either. Eventually, he got site admins there involved at turbomustangs.com to delete my comments. I guess they either heard his sob story and felt sorry for him because he posts there a lot, or they were intimidated by his legal bull**** and either way figured that it didn't make sense to take risk.
And Don, if you read this and decide to start some bull**** again about this post, I've still got everything that happened documented to include dates. I'm still pissed about it, and I will not hesitate to post it EVERYWHERE. Further, if you try to contact me, my friends, or my family in any way I consider that harrassment. As a moderator that has served the stangnet community for a long time, I think I have a little more pull than you do, at least on these forums. Good luck getting my comments here deleted.
