Good luck buying product. I can tell you some companies he WON'T be buying from. The rest won't be selling on credit. I'd warn anyone against buying from TByrne at any price.
I never knew they had a bad rap. I bought my tuner from them... great price, delivered on time, etc. Weird... how some folks have good experiences and others get hosed.
ive had good experiences. i did however do some research and come up with this. http://www.ratemyeverything.net/post/8979/TBYRNE_MOTORSPORTS.aspx
Tom was a fricking skank. Most guys that haven't been around for 2-3 years don't have a clue about the under handed crap he'd pull at times. There was a period when several of us on LX tried to get him booted for his business tactics. Anyhow, I never spent a dime with him and I don't care if he could save me $200's on a $100 purchase. F-him. :bottom:
He had a great reputation. Until he abrubtly closed shop, quit showing up on any forums, left some customers without product they paid for, and stiffed manufacturers that had let him purchase on credit holding the bag.
Divorce... I think it happened when he decided to get a blower, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust for his car all a the same time.
