plus it would somehow magically get my car boosted apparantly

 

paimon, first you need to get your ap working. if you were there you wouldnt be able to drive your car for 3yrs anyway.

jk guys looks good hoss

 

Thanks guys! Its taken a long time to get here. I cant wait to install this bad boy.

 

Looking good. Good idea to ceramic coat the components around the exhaust port to minimise heat related issues

 

take a gander at the lounge

 

nooblet question:

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...ami_BT819C.jpg

so if you were to use those on your terminals, would you not need eyelets or anything on your cable end?.

 

nah, you just stuff your cable in the hole and screw

 

 

Nope. you can lightly tin your cable ends if it makes you feel more comfortable but I will not bother.

This is the set up I went with:

This for the negative side.
Tsunami TSBT-PN (tsbtpn) Positive and Negative Battery Terminal

This one for positive.
Tsunami TSBTM-P (tsbtmp) Digital Battery Terminal with Satin

I will wire the the read out to a hot ignition wire so its only on with the car.

 

My build has been slightly delayed. The person coating my DP and Mani will not be back till the 20th.

 

a delayed sarx fi build? i dont believe it, not for a second.

 

pics of clamps in a plastic bag - my day is now complete ...

 

^rofl

 

I wanted to show that it came with mostly nice clamps. Some of the smaller ones will be replaced with Euro style hose clamps.

 

At least we have FI builds. Get it right, get it tight!

 

lol. i have a boosted vehicle now, just not my 8 yet

 

Any news on your other seat or is Adam from TH telling you to call the president of Sparco about it?

 

Neah man, he is asking me to contact his Customer service department now. The last time I had dealt with that department it was a less then stellar experience.

Just got off the phone with sparco. They have had the seat in stock for over a month and did not understand why they did not ship it to me. I should have tracking number in hand by the end of day.

 

It's about damn time. It's good to see that THmotorsports went the extra mile for you.

 

OMG....wtf. I just do not understand how they be so disorganized. Really sorry it took so damn long on that one. They had billed me on these a long long time ago. WOW!

Hope to see that in your car shortly.

Dont hold your breath just yet. They said the hold up was a billing issue but they think they have it resolved... They will be calling if they have any further issues.

 

Interesting...as in its been so long and they forgot they charged us already? WTF...I will wait and check with my billing dept to see it there was anything on their end.

 

Yeah, it's pretty sad he had to deal with all this himself to get it resolved when you were the one he bought the seats from. Pretty shitty customer service on your part.

 

9k, I respect your opinions, but I don't see why you have to straight jump into this mess and bash me on here. Yeah, its a mess, but I see no reason to throw me under the bus for something that Sparco them selves are to blame for. I have spent many hours on this scenario and my last form of communication with one of the reps at sparco ensured me that they are on it and were taking care of this. I assumed all was finally good and that they did what they said they would do and bump him up in the wait list to ensure he gets the next available seat.


I always try to deliver a positive experience with all who I interact here on the forum, but I cannot control and/or babysit every scenario and every manufacturer that drops the ball...but I do try. At least put some blame on the manufacturer, instead of saying that we have delivered a shitty experience, and making it look like it was all our doing, or that we took his money and ran. I had not a single intention to do this to Hoss. I did what I could to help out and communicate with all parties, but at the end of it, it was actually all on Sparco, the manufacturer, to deliver the product, and they have failed, and failed to properly communicate back to us, so that we can further communicate with the customer.

It all got screwed up in the beginning where Sparco decided to do a major update on that seat. We were given ETA's that were not met. And each time they reassured me they will be on their way at a certain date. I kept calling and asking, and finally they said it was taken care of 100% and that they will contact Hoss if anything directly from now on. This was indeed a while ago...end of last year to be exact. Pretty shitty indeed. And even today Sparco says that they have no idea what happened, and that even though its been in stock for 1 month now finally, they have no idea why it has not shipped....WTF!


9k, If you have any further questions about this please PM me or call me.


Hoss, hit me up if anything as well. You have my personal cell phone so you can text or call me if anything.

Ready to get wrenching! Only one part not in hand at the moment! Lets do this.... A long weekend is the perfect time to kick start this off!
