Guest 614Streets Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I met Tony Catalogna this morning , he is now directly beside me in the next bay over and we were talking. So I figured I would throw his name out there , we both do high performance work and we probably will be doing some collaboration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I have not heard the best things about him. However, things may have changed, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 The guy is a moron. For instance (just one of the retarded things I've seen): He welded the header collectors to the exhaust pipes on a Trans Am. Rob Lasota had to unfuck that situation. Stay away.

MrMeanGreen Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 He fucked Amy Stewart's car up more times than I can recall, and several people (myself included) spent hours fixing everything from wiring harnesses to ignition parts.

Guest 614Streets Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I take everything with a grain of salt , I was hoping to hear good stuff , but like I said. Searching some on here earlier Amy stewart praises him. I'll hit here up on myspace and ask. And for the record this is good homework but not my judgement. Eh I run a tight ship when it comes to my work so I will continue to let it speak for itself! There is actually alot of guys on here I would work around , although I do my tightest work alone , with no time restrictions , as if it were my own car. Quite a few guys Ive hinted at on here tag teaming side work etc , the latest are Hal ,who's possibly coming up to meet tommrrow , and last mention would probably be that Dave sigman guy......

MrMeanGreen Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 That's what I don't understand about Amy. Half the problems with her car were because of him, and she had nothing good to say about him in person, especially when we were at her house fixing his mistakes. Yet, she has him in her sig?

Guest 614Streets Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Lol. yep . Tony seemed stand up ,even met his wife. I know how it can be. Check this out , although you cant directly relate all liasons or presumtions against thoose in the field , but .... Last week I did brakes for a guy , 4 ROTORS / PADS 2003 Accord... He called me monday because his check engine light was on and his "car guy" friend said I probably broke the abs sysyem. Now obviously thats good for a coffee cup chuckle with thoose in the know, but I explained to him in detail the differences between abs and check engine light warning systems , reluctor positions and their relationship to the inductive pickup on the cv shaft , not a vicinity of rotor replacement, etc. But thats how it is, no biggie , alas the grain of salt.

clk1 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I know Tony personally, and he is a good guy and does good work, i was there with everything he did with Amys car, and all he was doing was trying to basically start over with her car and slowly fix all the mistakes that other shops and hands had done to it. Plus he was doing it all for free and on his time, cause he was a sponsor. Like i sadi i have known him for a few years now and have always sent him loys of business, i always have his cards in my wallet to give out to anyone needing work done. So unless you have personally had issues with his work, i think you guys need to stop bashing his name and his business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I personally had issues with his work. Try working with a header with the collector welded directly to y-pipe. Shitty, ignorant job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
