Well i fanally sold the HP turbo kit I never got to see, since i could never get it installed. Now, after losing almost 3 grand on restocking fees and countless hours of aggrivation I think i am gonna switch to a Supra. Just so much easier to find someone who can work on one.

That is rediculous..the time you spent was nothing compared to the time a lot of the rest of us spent...if anything you should be pissed off about losing $3K though...I would have done that whole purchase on a CC and then had disputed it if the merchandise was not delivered as promised....lesson learned I guess.

That's a bummer. A modded Supra would be sweet. Good luck to you.

Can we believe she even bought a turbo--since she posted on the forum that she purchased a blower motor from Andy and A&A--sounds kind of smells like fish to me

Don't get a supra, supra's are gay. Why would you want to ride around in a ricer over a vette? Everyone has bad experiences at one time or another, just learn from it and move on. There are tons of proven options for any kind of mod you can imagine for vettes. It amazes me that anyone would dump that much money into something that has been so shady from day 1. I guess I can say it doesn't surprise me.

Didn't you order a motor from Andy? Hope you don't screw him by ordering a motor you have no intentions of taking delivery on. Not that he can turn it quickly but still... thats ... unless you plan on putting it in a Supra? Hope you reconsider your options...

Best of luck
Bill

Hmmmm... I have $5 that says that a week or so down the road the FI Z06 is "on again" and the Supra is a fleeting thought

Wow, talk about Drama
I hope that A&A motor works well for you in the Supra and you can complain to them about it on the Toyota forum.

Howdy Folks!

You know, I had a reply written during some of this posters turbo drama, but decided to give him (I believe this poster referred to themselves using "guy" as well) the benefit of the doubt. I was also willing to overlook their relatively new status on this forum.

It's a pretty standard internet tactic to come onto a car forum, claim some grand scheme of purchasing/upgrades/etc., then feign "frustration" and simply claim to have sold everything.

All these problems with shipping a car? Then some supposed turbo kit, that's now sold, then an engine order, now buying a totally different car? A Supra? (BTW, I owned one of the better Supras in the scene, put together by Titan Motorsports/Nero) And you can't find a good Vette mechanic, but can find a good Supra tuner? Where are you located? And suddenly there's a Supra owner, registered the same time?

Sorry but it's painfully suspicious - if everything is as you said, then heck, I apologize, but, please enlighten everyone!

As a new member myself--the mods I plan are true, my DS1C package with alky is in my hands thanks to another forum member--plus Andy will be sending out his stage II blower motor with many other goodies my way and I am really looking forward to shredding tires and stomping on vipers and ricers Atleast this forum member is telling is the truth on the upgrades

I hope to have the pan moble on the road with upgrades late July or August

Why is everyone giving MissZ sh.t ? I would think some of you guys would have a little more compassion.

MissZ - I hope whatever you decide works out better than your HP project.

Good Luck,

Mark
