James Barone Racing is Outstanding

[King Scumbag]

I know, I know..., Holy Post Batman! Im over it but this commendation is deserved.

This is solely based on my experience with James Barone Racing and their outstanding professionalism,customer support and amazing human beings, not his products. But I guarantee once I return home from this deployment I will be doing a thorough review on them.

@jbarone;

Well guys I know I haven’t been around here on the forums for very long. I have an MS3 Genwan that I haven’t even driven or seen in person yet (just have sexy pics!), but I have been doing my research on this platform for months now even before I created a profile and donated since I purchased the car from afar through my GF back in the states. I couldn’t do anything but
narrow down parts that I wanted for this car but to be from a manufacturer with awesome customer service and solid products that are backed up with a promised warranty. Everything was narrowed down to James Barone Racing. I looked at all of his products and reviewed them all individually. Here on MSF there was nothing but good things being said about all of Jamie's products as wel as Jamie always there on the forums anwsering questions and posting all the time. I was sold on his products but I still had to make sure that a good customer support was there to confirm that everything I wanted was in fact in stock and or not in stock. Plus since I’m out here in Afghanistan, I have no one to verify my parts when they get to my GF’s house because she doesn’t know what she’s looking at. I sent a PM to Jamie asking him if everything I wanted was in stock including Trilogy Mount Package 70 Durometer, 5 mm Wheel Spacers (2 pair), Rear Sway Bar Kit, Solid Shifter Bushings, Intercooler Boost Tubes Red, Bypass Valve Hose Red, Oil Catch Can Kit Stage 2, and a JBR Power Path Stage II Short Ram Intake with red MAF, Filter, Black housing, Red TIP. He responded no less than 45 minutes later stating that everything I had asked about was in stock and ready to ship. He also told me that he would give me a small Military Discount for my service to Our Country and told me to make sure that I PM him with my order number as soon as I submit my order! Mad Kudos in my book! (Forgot to add that he told me he was going to throw in a free t-shirt!) Long story short, I officially ordered these parts and a few hours later I received a PM from Jamie asking if he could hold off on shipping the products so that his wife could verify all the parts had no defects and were good to go, only because I myself cannot be home to inspect the parts and I won’t be for another couple months. A couple days later I received another PM from Jamie as well as an e-mail with conformation that everything had shipped out and a discount of 50.00$ had been applied to the purchase!! My GF received the parts today along with a free T-shirt two days after being shipped! Now I cannot submit this as a review of James Barone Racing products, but what I can do is tell you that James Barone Racing has and always will be on the top of my list. I may be new to this platform but I know that I will not be disappointed with my purchase. I have all the reason to believe these parts are as good as I have read about. I know these are quality parts just from Jamie’s outstanding professionalism and history with all of you. That is why I ordered these parts from James Barone Racing. I can’t wait to get these parts installed once I get home! I also commend Jamie and his wife for their outstanding support for the U.S. Military, every time Jamie contacted me he was sure to tell me to stay safe as well as let me know that myself and all my brothers and sisters in arms are in there prayers, to stay safe and come home soon. I can’t wait to see what has to come for the future of James Barone Racing and pray that it will be a very, very big success! Bigger than the success he has now. I have flown an American Flag here in Afghanistan in honor of James Barone Racing and cannot wait to send it to him for his oustanding help and support.

I agree with the above. I can't say enough good things about JBR. Every single time I have gotton something from JBR I researched it before buying, and even still I am blown away by quality/performance when I receive it.

ps you should hit enter a few times, walls of text are hard to read.

I was just thinking someone should TLDR this.

[JBR]

Working with @SBMS316, was by far the most memorable experience I've had since I started this business. To think he could have gone another vendor and instead chose JBR. Then the offer to fly a flag in our honor was incredible. I can't wait for it to hang in our shop.

2nd that! So pumped, thanks JBR!

[cdmarch]

Not to threadjack, but i wanted to chime in on this. JBR service is outstanding. I placed 2 different orders for pmm and tmm. When you order 2 separately, they cost a little more. Jamie sent me an email stating that he was going to refund $20 back to me for the 2 products. He didn't hqve to do that at all. I will also continue to purchase his products.

Keep your head down marine and make it back so you can enjoy those parts!

[midnightmarauder]

[adrager622]

Looks like a nice project you have for yourself when you get back.

[agentgordon27]

You got yourself one hell of a start, I don't know if you have an AP yet but JBR teamed up with Lex at Stratified for awesome OTS maps for those intakes.

Kinda like captain planet, 'cept more like powers combined to haz teh fast.

[King Scumbag]

Thanks for looking out man...Yea I literally have everything I need to go full stage 2 as of right now.

[King Scumbag]

Finally home ladies and gents. Started my spree of installs today. Got my RSB, Rear motor mount, and heavy shift knob in today! @jbarone;. I feel like I'm driving a new car! When i through it up on the lift i was checking out the stock RSB and one of the end link nuts was so loose I screwed it off with my fingers. Good thing i was replacing it!

Some pics from my installs.











This was the loose stock end link nut how it was sitting when i put it on the lift.

Ditto Jamie! Glad i finally got to speak to the man behind such a great operation you got going. Always good to know you are always there for the help. If i run into any problems i will definitely get ahold of you! Thanks Jamie! Nothing but much kudos for the support you give to us!

Edit: About 100 miles on both the RMM and RSB so far! Car feels so solid! Threw in the solid shifter bushings yesterday and shifting is at a whole new level! Now for the PMM, TMM, Powerpath, boost tubes and SSP! Going on soon!

[motherfnmonsta]

no fair you where able to get a red rsb But I am loving my jrb rsb the car feels like a whole new car and is fun as hell to take turns fast and not have to worry about the rear end wanting to get squirrely

[King Scumbag]

Well I finally got everything installed and mounted on friday! Installed the PMM,TMM,SSP, Boost Toobs and PP ST2 SRI. This car gave one gel of a run for my money.

I started things off with the PMM. Where the PMM is attached to the block via studs on the block and nut I had a hell of a time getting the nuts off. After butchering the shit out of the nuts with a 17mm socket one came out finally and the other we used a smaller spline socket hammered it on and the stud ended up unthreading from the block and game out with the nut. Called @jbarone; to see if it was cool that I put a grade 8 in place and once i got the go ahead we were golden. Here are a few pics of what I am talking about.





Switched over to do the TMM while i was in there tore out the full stock intake and shifter weight. Well I had come to find that my intakes valve breather hose was relocated to the base of the stock inlet hose. Later talked to @jbarone; about this and apparently it was a rare dealer experiment to relocate it and block off the original port on the intake housing. Jamie could probably elaborate more on that for me?! Well I had a SURE breather kit tucked away in the dark depths of the closet and ended up using it. did a little cutting and moving and got the valve breather hose ran no problems.





Used that capped off fitting for the attachment to the valve cover breather fitting. Attached and clammed the end on.







Finishing things up.





SSP



This here is an Asian dude in my complex that has a boosted civic that sounds like a souped up lawnmower with strait pipes. He is putting "Tuned by" and Honda STICKERS on his wife's TOYOTA SUV! WTF! lol

So sexy!

[Sid3wayS]

Holy fucked up valve cover batman...
They probably thought moving the vaccume source closer to the turbo would raise the levels of "suction" in the the system. Guess it didnt work since the genpus have it in the normal location.

Edit: Also looks like 90% of us that do this the first time you broke the vac nipple for the ebcs lol

[King Scumbag]

Welp I put the Last of what I have from JBR on my MS3 Today. Sad day. I wish i haz more parts! Been dropping @jbarone; business cards on windshields left and right like a boss! lol
