looks good odie. jelly.

RE002s are a waste of money on a daily. will chew through them pretty quickly, but can't be too expensive in the stock rim size you're running?

Props to byp for building an awesome car. But byp are a bunch of fkn faggots

But really, all they did was copy a build from the USA, put in a good driver. And volia.

Hondas are real big in the usa, that kind of potential in a honda isn't anything surprising in the usa. Just australia is a decade behind.

They really dont deserve to be the benchmark for honda track cars in aus

Hi all,

This thread is a long time coming…

But from recent events and my own personal dealings with this business and many others who I have spoken to as a result of my own experiences with BYP Racing I have decided to create this thread in the hope that those who have had a ‘bad’ experience with BYP to come forward, so that the proper authorities can deal with them. I know that there are a lot of you out there, it’s time to bring this information to light. So please PM me if you wish.

The plan here is the collect info and collate to pass it across to Fair trading for them to seriously look at this business and it’s practices. Logic here is multiple complaints or cases put forward will be hard for them to ignore and will force them to closely look into this business.

I have spoken to Fair Trading a number of times now and these are my findings;

-Fair Trading runs a search against the ABN/Business Name. The workshop is licensed along with 2 other license.
HOWEVER, the license is only via the business entity. Please note this does not cover the people who are working on your cars, in this case Benny/Jimmy Tran. Even though the business is ‘licensed’ it is still a requirement for the people working on your car to be properly licensed!
From my personal experiences and observations Benny and Jimmy Tran are not licensed mechanics, nor do they employ a licensed mechanic. They are simply backyarders working under the façade of a ‘workshop’. In some ways this is fraudulent behavior.

I sincerely hope that this thread does not turn into a complete debacle, as I would like to keep it as informative & constructive as possible. If this thread becomes a complete mess I will have the thread locked and ask for those who wish to discuss their individual matters PM me.

Regards

I got ripped off by them too

theres more to that list, but yeh, you get the idea.

[PENGUYEN]

One of my friends had a shitty tune by them (btw. Their "tune" is a 2hr half assed job where they dont know what theyre doing. taking maps from similar spec engines in the usa, upload, play around with random stuff and hope for the best. if they can't find a way to get gains, they'll blame something on the car as the problem, many first hand experiences in that thread which has this going on)

Well mate had a tune from them. Cel light started flashing indicating knock. Took car to them and said to fix. The "knocking" was gone. Other friend had checked the map and found out they just unchecked the cel light knock indicator. Paid 200 for that.

I dont get it. They even rip off their own brother and mates.

Oh btw, their $1000+ 2 hour tune is a WOT tune only. No cold starts no partial throttle.

They got lawyered on selling fake hondatas (ecu) as real ones by hondata usa. Strong losses.

[PENGUYEN]

Annoying thing is that a lot of their current and new customers are stupid. "Oh byp have the fastest honda in aus, they're the best, blah blah blah, and even when they realise they got ripped or whatever, byp would make up bs and they'd believe it. Bloody fanboys

The owner of the red eg civic that represented byp at sau nats. Heres the owners post and why he left.

ey guys Im the owner of that red civic posted above and Ive kept fairly quiet about leaving BYP as I didnt want to make a huge fuss about it.
Ive known the twins for several years and we were mates along with SXC-84K and NA-118 (dinners, outings, coffee etc) and thank god we are no longer associating with BYP.
Ive always felt that they took advantage of our friendship as they felt as though they could do whatever they like to my car assuming I would pay for it.
Countless times I have walked into their shop with new items on my car even without my consent.
Another incident occurred when I popped by the shop to check up on the car before Honda Nationals 2011 and found the car strapped to the dyno and retuned on race e85 when I specifically said that just wanted to keep it on pump. (yes I stupidly paid for that retune)
Their quality of work is just appalling as shown on my car as the twins cut a hole right through my door and didnt attempt to fix it. The mechanism that locks and unlocks the door was also damaged and never fixed.
The digital dash was also damaged as the twins, while installing it ran the screwdriver into the screen. Something of which I found out myself as I noticed a huge deadspot on the cluster.
Ive asked countless times to secure the lexan windows onto the doors as they have either flown off onto the track several times (obviously a huge hazard while at racing speeds) but they would never come around to doing it.
While Brandons integra was going through a rebuild my car was used to promote their business and I just assumed that they would look after me as my car was consistantly on the track rewriting records.
But that wasnt the case. Brandon and I had Tabs which we slowly pay off to BYP as we are still young and cant afford to fork out big dollars at a time. I purchased a k20 gearbox with the gearX close ratio set off Brandon for $5000 which was deducted from his bill and then added onto mine. When I double checked my bill I noticed that $5250 was added instead of $5000 which made me wonder what that extra 250 was for as labour to fit the box was also charged seperately. It was a direct transaction between Brandon and I yet BYP had to make a cut from it somehow.
The most recent incident that occured was when I damaged my splitter and a new one was made before the 2012 WTAC and BYP again tried to rip me off as they attempted to charge 400+ for the piece of plywood!!
Makes me wonder if thats my sponsored price I wonder what they would charge a regular customer.
I also wasnt informed about many of the sponsors and at one point I was charged for Nulon oil (a company the car was sponsored by)
There are many more stories but it just angers me to even think about it.
Im not surprised by all the stories that have come out and Im sure theres many more unhappy customers that have yet to post their stories as well.
Hopefully the moderators dont close this thread down as the truth needs to come out!!

[PENGUYEN]

f**k byp. Lol.

They're in a legal shit storm atm with a few companies. All their sponsors have pulled out. And now fair trading is onto them.

GG lads.

hey they called Back Yard Preformance for a reason...what you expect!
