I understand both sides of the story here. Ive dealt with chris he was really easy going and gave me plenty of info that I needed to make his project work. he was very understanding about the fitment of the fuel rail i sent him. It wasnt a perfect fit the first time due to the fact that I simply didnt have the same inj he was using. But him and I were able to communicate no probs. Chris knows his shit when it comes to cars. If you havent seen his build thread he's built his car step by step with the help of the forum.
Fact is that he is purchasing fab parts from us guys on the forum to complete his project. He is dealing with us and supporting us forum guys other then buying china junk sh*t or ebay sh*t or even takin his car to anyone local mechanics. This isnt the first time he got sh*t on buy us forum members either. If anyone remembers one of our forum members sent him a poorly welded dog bone mount that snapped righ after install, so you can understand his fustration.
Honestly he paid good money for a manifold that to our knowledge was not even installed in a vehicle or built on a jig. Theres isnt a shot at all that the fitment is gonna be anywhere close to fitting chris b13. Matt should really man up for that one.
Chris should be willing to make things work by making some modificaton to his set up (not to the manifold or DP), which I believe he is judging by our dealings in the past. He isnt expect everything to just bolt up perfect but at the same time what we are selling him needs to atleast be in the ball park.
As far as customer service. You can take this from me (a proud business owner) I dont care how pissed off you are at the customer there is no reason to talk to the customer the way you have. Its deff not gonna get you anywhere in the business world.
This has everything to do with the forum. This is where the whole deal started. Chris see's us fabricators posting our work and simply wants to pay us for our skills.
Not chosing sides here but just throwing in my 2cents. Ive been in chris's shoes and on the other hand I currently run a business so i know exactly how customers can be.
Bottom line is all of us on the forum should be getting along. Not fighting like bit**es over some money.
Just throwing this out there also to all you big baller customers. Would you pay $1,600.00 for a manifold + DP that you had to modify to fit your car?
Get this stuff solved guys. Life is too short.
