Screwed Over & Picking Up the Pieces: My 1000hp 5th Gen Rebuild [COTW 8/31/15] - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So, Fast Automotive is officially out of business.. At least we were able to get SOME money back from them. Word is, there's a pad lock on the front door and cameras. Bunch of cars locked inside. Crazy.

lcrosss · 07-06-2015, 04:15 PM

Also, just waiting on a billet crank to show up so we can get the party started.

So, lots of pics and updates coming over the next few weeks.

Glad to see that you are charging ahead with your original desires! Hat's off to the wife, as well. Best of luck OP!

I think I actually would have killed people......

Just read about the great news about Fast. Thank goodness for the locked doors, but the people that were working there are what concern me. Where will they go next? I'm currently in search of a tune for an upgrade I'm finishing up and don't want to run across one of the X Fast employee. Thanks to fellow members of HTCC I have a couple places in mind, but those who don't know Fast need to watch out. I'm glad your build is coming together and hope you reach your goal.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear about this. It kills me that there are shops out there like this. If you were in my area I'd give you a hand for free. Good luck with the new build.

... and that's why you're turning the wrenches on my car. If we could ever get to the track it will be time for some more upgrades too.

Really glad this build is coming together.

URBAN LEGEND · 07-07-2015, 08:57 PM

That's why I leave my cars stock. I learned my lesson a decade ago. Stock all day.

hammdo · 07-07-2015, 10:37 PM

With very few exceptions, I do the work myself. I'm glad we have great shops nearby when I need it but, I'd rather get my hand dirty ;o)...

Glad to see the car coming to life!

I pass by Fast every day. Something is definitely going on because the bay doors are open and I've seen some cars move around but there's only one or two. There's even been a Lamborghini there from time to time. But the signs are down and the gate is typically closed.

wow just read through this thread. A spark plug in the oil pan?! these guys should be put in front of a firing squad for what they did to you.

glad to see you're moving forward! and best of luck on the new build!

The yellow Lambo belongs to the owner.... or ex owner.

I want to say it's a gunmetal gray, but can't recall.
