hopefully people open their eyes & realize what kind of companies these 2 places are ...

I currently have a few locals that are going to be doing some builds on their cars and slowboy & Kinetic could have gotten a fair share of $$ ... now I'm going to make sure they avoid both companies

well, you can add me to the lost customer list.
I was going to get thier fascia/front end brace that goes behind the crosshairs, but not now.

Guess I'll just have to find a local to make me one.

That is ultimately fucked up... Why are we having some many damn problems with shitty ass vendors these days?

I had a shitty exp. with Kinetics almost 2 years ago. My buddy was going 50trim and opted for the Kinetics kit. He drops car off at my house so I can get started. Once I get to installing o2 housing on manifold I run into a few BIG (IMO) issues. The 4 bolt flange that goes to back of turbo isn't drilled correctly. I have to drill out hole. Although not a huge issue now, this was back in the beginning of my part installs so I had A LOT less tools to say the least, especially for this kind of stuff. I'm finally able to drill hole out. Upon putting oil lines on I realize that the kit didn't include the correct fitting for the oil feed line to turbo. My buddy has to get that shit overnighted to my house in NC from Canada. This kit came with the wastegate reroute. The metal flex tubing that goes from w/g to o2 housing wouldn't stop leaking. Finally he opted for the external w/g o2 housing. It comes in. I go to put it on and once again the fucking 4 bolt flange from o2 housing to turbo is not drilled correctly, luckily this time I had a bit I bought just in case this shit happened again. Another thing I though was ridiculous was the oil feed line was ATLEAST 3 feet long, which leaves lots of slack. By buddy had his exp. with Kinetics through Quickwhips.

I had another buddy order a returnline from Slowboy Racing. It takes him a few weeks to get after they say they have in stock. He had to call several times. One of the guys ended up saying something about the other guy being bad about forgetting stuff. I forgot who said what though.

These are two companies I refuse to do business with. I almost considered the baby-kahuna, but I just knew I didn't want to deal with those douche bags.

Sucks your having to go through all this shit man. Hopefully you get what you can out of it.

And the list of reputable companies who put the customer first gets smaller...

I am one of the ones in NE starting to collect parts for my winter build. I am trying to work with as few vendors as possible to get what I need. I am having the manifold built at CTI, and pretty much everything else from AGP at this point (Forward Motion is on the list as well).

I almost always recommend people buy stuff online to save money here and there, but the possibility of getting scammed just ruins the money you could have saved.

Good luck Nate. When is the turbo supposed to be delivered? Going to make it up to the track on Saturday?
