My brother just bought a 1999 pro charged camaro and we need some help finding a shop to take it to. Would like to find a place somewhere in North Texas that can basically go through the car and fix any issues with it. I know the pro charger belt needs replaced, transmission needs fixed or maybe just shift points adjusted, a good tune and some other little things fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

RPM is over run with guys from Speedworks

Go see Patrick at Quality Motorsports, he is the best hands down :bows

I've dealt with RPM once before. Nice people and did a good job. I figured I would get some suggestions from here since y'all are from Texas.:tu:

Hey Matthew, just noticed you are from Ada, OK......I recently sold a truck to a guy from Ada, he said it is a pretty small town. Ever see this one around there??? I guess he is an investigator or something there in the area. Sorry :threadhijack

Does Patrick have land and shop, what is the size of his operation?

Alpine

03-23-2008, 11:02 AM

Here is a picture of his location. Not a big operation yet as far as the size of his shop but he is about to expand in April. He is always very busy and has at least 4-5 Z06's every time I am up there.

I hope he has some good help to do all that! You can't do it all by yourself and grow a business enough. I met him at RPM right after he left 21st. He vowed to take their customers and put them out of business:evil. I like his zest:tu:

I think I have seen this truck a couple times. It's a nice looking F150. If he is an Investigator I probably know him. Ada is a small town, if you live here you know just about everyone, or have a friend that knows them.:tu:

Yeah he said it's a small town. His name is Bill Vandegriff. Vey nice guy and it was a quick and smooth sale. I had it up for sale less than a week and it was gone. :tu:

Jeff (5W0P3 (http://www.talonclub.com/forum/member.php?u=1313)) just finished the site for Patrick and Quality Motorsports :tu:

He vowed to take all of 21st business, and he is doing a pretty good job of it

Thanks for the posts guys. We called up RPM and they said they could fix the car so we will give them a shot first. If that doesn't work out we will check out some of the other places. :tu:

RPM will take care of you. Tell them BBC sent you.

As far as patrick leaving 21st just like Jonathan did (who came to RPM, but no longer works there) they both seem to be ok.

Brian or Matt will be doing the tuning on the maro.

Finally decided to come out the wood work after almost 4 years :rll:Welcome to the club Brian :beer:.

Ha. Yeah I have been a ''member'' here for a while, just kinda lurked tho.

Only reason I came on here today was I ran into a Red lighting with a cowl hood on the way to work with a talon sticker on it.

Never really got to have fun, but we did get to hit it a little

Plus I know "bic" (BCLIGHTNING) Been beating him...i mean knowing him since forever. LOL

The BC stands for Bad Company, the name of our street racing crew back in the day

As far as "beating me", well I hope you have forged internals and can up the shot to 300+, otherwise it will be wasting my time :tu:

Guessing you haven't kept up with times.

I ran a 6.38 with my 346 and it only made 550.

There is a bigger motor in there now. :beer: :nana2

Ps...anytime you wanna hit up the track, let me know. I'm usually feeling froggy. haha.

Damn I'll say you've been lurking!! Gotta keep an eye on the trucks huh??

haha nah. I haven't really been on here in maybe a year. Only reason i came on here is because of the red L I saw that had the Talon sticker.

Only quick truck I have ran into in a while is a 1st gen at the track. Mofo was MOVIN!!

Re Re I know you know, it was an explanation for everyone else on the board, most of the members aren't the brightest crayon in the box

Haven't kept up with the times because....... well I have a job that takes up most of my time, on my iphone right now in a surgery with my neuro surgeon

That's cool.

My dad is in the hospital right now.

We went out Friday for dinner at a mexican place, and he hasn't been feeling good. (no bowel movements since then) Anyways, monday it got so bad he couldn't even lay down, let alone walk, sit, or stand.

So he went to the hospital (Irving Baylor) they told him he might have gal bladder stones or whatever which would need surgery to remove it. They came back with the results saying he has pancreatitus or something like that where his pancreas is inflamed. He's doing better now, just can't eat anything...and hasn't eaten ANYTHING since friday, but he is ok for now. Hopefully we find out today how much longer he has in there.

And yea...what happend with the real world thing. Some of those vids were funny. LOL

Especially with you and Daniel.

We got the camaro to RPM and it looks like I will be spending some more money sooner than I thought. His car put down 400 with just a couple pounds of boost. They are going to put a built transmission in for him and he is thinking about running a few more pounds of boost. My 16 yr. old brother will not have a faster car than me....:nono:
