Hi this is Josh with RE-Tuning Service Factory, I have met a few of you once before, I work on RX-7's, and every other MR and RWD Japanese and European platforms, I have moved to a new facility off of IH35, and I just wanted to say hello!

Some info about me!
We do custom alignments, corner balancing, Also are very close with Henderson Performance and we utilize their dyno at the moment and tune various vehicles. With that we are dealers for ORC, OS Giken, Stance, HKS, Power House Amuse, TODA, Tomei, TOP SECRET, RS Aizawa, and and just about everything else you can think of at this point. We have having been in business for 4 years it has taken us a long while to build these relationships. With that we are partnering with BulletProof automotive to start the anti-chinese car part movement!.

Well hope you guys have a great drift season! IF you guys are out at the nasa events, or at texas mile this coming march youll see us out there in the FC-GT car!

Yes i sure can tune on power FC i very much love that unit! Also Haltech, Microtech, very familiar with MOTEC software, HKS EVC6 its a boostcontroller with programmable tables yes..., Greddy Emanage, HKS VPC, HKS PFC FconV and Fcon V pro, i dont like the AEM EMS much but i can tune on it if nessary.


Along with that I do not use an alignment machine, i do it oldschool with toe plates, digital camber caster gauge, measuring tapes and my Long Acre corner scales....oldschool/traditional but i can do live changes @ events and at the track and i have gotten to be pretty quick on the corner balancing and custom alignment game lol.

Also i found an interesting turbo II swap available recently but im not certain of the shipping so ill get back to him ASAP!

What everyone needs to do.

Thanks for keeping shit old school and done the right way.

It's the same thing with motorcycles. A lot of people have all this new bullshit to, for instance, balance a wheel.
I know a guy who does it old school. He also happens to be a multi time champion in different series.

Props to you.

What everyone needs to do.


so you're telling me that I need to be setting up a car with the oldschool method at work rather than the digital machine I use that takes literally 3mins maximum to put on the rack, do a caster sweep, and get to adjusting?....

so, this...



instead of this?...

mind you, this machine shows on a scale exactly what your adjusting, how to adjust it, and where you need to adjust it to all in real time with a digital meter.

and josh, im not hating dude. i actually commend you for using that method. I just work on a lot of cars during a day and doing an alignment with that method is too time consuming and inefficient for how many cars come in and out. like i said, more power to you dude.

and again, im not trying to start shit either, so please dont think that haha

:p

Now, now, now, the beauty of knowing how to efficiently align a vehicle manually...is that an alignment rack is generally not available in the pits and most teams rock digital camber castor gauges and run their alignments on the fly via driver input etc after hot laps and shake downs..... many people forget that alignments are ALL relative to the track layout and driver feeling in the moment. A TRUE Team/Driver adjusts the car to their preference with the tires they have and the track they are on NOT adapting the driver to car but car to the driver. (its early im rambling) Each track is different with undulations in the road, elevation changes and corner angles and entry speeds THUS the alignment rack is also a great tool to get a baseline alignment to get your car driven to the track without wearing the tires down but its not going to work for every track...and in some cases ANY track!

The alignment rack is indeed great for speed/high volume realistically and getting that Buick Regal aligned and ready to rock! its also simple to use and allows some of the grimy lame ass punks that THINK they wanna go fast and build honda civics to learn how to operate it. (sorry too many honda boys @ tire shops its horrible...lol) most places that have alignment racks tend to staff people that i wouldn't even trust to check my tire pressure anyway let alone know what scrub radius and suspension frequency are without having to google or wikipedia search on it...lol

So yea! Nice to meet everyone! I have a parts sale and racing equipment sale going on now!

in equipment i have:
racing suits, driving shoes, gloves, helmets

Parts i have:
HKS EVC 6 boost controllers, Haltech ECU, AIM sports digital displays

Im willing to go in and do a group buy order or ill bring them in individually per customer so either way if you have a question please feel free to ask!

shoot me an email:
