2015 Lamborghini Huracan
Exclamation DIME RACING - BEWARE - TWIN TURBO NIGHTMARE

BEWARE OF DIME RACING!

They ruined several twin turbo builds including the build they completed on my 2015 Lamborghini Huracan!

They are financially unstable; they defaulted on payments for their shop car (Lamborghini Huracan) and defaulted on rent payments for their shop located in Huntington Beach, California.

Well you definitely have one side of the equation -- curious what they would say.

I mean, there are always 2 sides of the story, but when this happens to multiple people... It almost doesn't matter what they say anymore, right? How much more proof does anyone in their right mind need? They charge $2k for a stupid airbox...

The founder of the company was recently convicted on federal weapons charges. He is a felon, just search google “Steven Sargon Atneyel” this was not even adjudicated as of May 2017 (allegedly according to US court documents).

They split from Weistec because of all the fraud (allegedly).

They are and have always been shady. From their postings on here where they show no numbers or proof of their products, to their beefs and undercover posting with other members and their owner's history. I hope people will finally stay away.

Is Dime still a sponsor of MBWorld? And if so, will they continue to be?

Guilty also did a full build with them and if I remember correctly he was at his wits end because they were screwing him around - he posted here about major issues (like blowing his trans twice). Then a while later, he was praising and promoting them after they supposedly made things right... seems he got paid off with cash or free parts/service to keep hush hush about all the previous issues.

There's also a kid on IG (1fastc63s) who has a full Dime build, and his car is slow for what he paid to get done. He ran 11.2 @ 124 mph... that trap speed is only a few mph higher than a stock C63S. If I did a piggyback tune only on my car and it trapped 124, I'd be disappointed (I trapped 122 mph in my stock Coupe)... and he has the whole Dime parts catalog with upgraded turbos ($4K airboxes, cooling package, etc.)

The Dime cars that actually run well are few and far between.

Guilty eventually came around, again, and was off the Dime bandwagon cause of his issues and then some. Can't quite remember exactly what it was.

I think the Instagram user is Pl27 if I remember correctly.

Guilty had his trans blown up once or twice and they pulled the trans out of a different customer car or something of the sort and put it in his car.... Sketchy

Pete (1fastc63s) claims he's the fastest and then guilty claims he's the fastest all while Andrew (IG powertechnik) is sitting here with EFR 7163 setup making 800+ whp on pump gas..... Lol

I've removed a couple posts as I asked to keep them on topic (Dime Racing) and post ONLY your first hand customer service experience with Dime Racing both good and bad. I'm locking the thread and will re-open if Dime Racing would like to respond or for anyone who would like to post about their experience with Dime Racing, good and bad. Thank you.

Yes, they are currently a vendor. Will they remain? That is a commercial decision between IB Advertising and Dime Racing . I do however have some input and have asked for feedback concerning members personal first hand experience with Dime Racing. Please see the post above in this thread and send me a PM if you have questions. Thank you.
