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.

you did not read into the situation and started bashing others without fully understanding the entire scenario. But that is how forums are sometimes, It is what it is.


Keeping it brief,

Yeah I got it all wrong dude, you did everything in your power to take care of your customer and handled the transaction perfect.

I know exactly what went down. You got your payment so you could have given two ***** if Hoss-05 got his seats or not. And the only reason it wasn't a priority is because he was not bitching up a storm like I would have been because he was busy risking his life in a **** hole half way around the world. I'd appreciate it if you would just cut the bullshit, admit you dropped the ball, and STFU about it. Excuses from vendors like you are so god damn tiring. That is all I have to say about that.

Now back to taking care of business, let's get this bitch finished!

I definitely do admit it when I am wrong...but not in this case. You do not know exactly what went down. You are very wrong sir, but enjoy what you believe. I just do not give a POOP about what you think at this point about this scenario. If you care to learn the facts feel free to call me.

However, you are right about one thing: Hoss, get your car rolling sir!

This is Hoss's build thread and we should let this thread be what it was intended to.

Dear Sarx Crew;

I hate you guys and wish that I could experience the joys of installing a turbo and firing it up for the first time to a successful boosting. Alas, my s2 is a a finicky bum when it comes to tuning. Therefore, I can only compensate my feelings by having a distaste towards your successes.

Bitterly Yours,
Pai-heezy

My life outside of cars have been busy and my general frustration level with my car was a bit to much. Will get back on it this weekend. Doing a compression test ASAP.
