This can go on for ever... I really dont care. At the end of the day, my opinion about who I think is good to deal with, and bad to deal with is my opinion and my opinion only matters when it comes to me and who i deal with. Every single person on this board could say he did them right. Regardless of everyone elses opinoin, my opinion is what matters to me. You can ask any one else on this board if doing business with me is like pulling teeth. I guarantee that noone other than brian has had an issue. If you want to ask people, ask any of or all of the following who all have had rescent transactions with me Richie_Rich CashAudio Bshade I guarantee they will say that doing business with me was easy, and I would recommend anyone buying from these guys. Hell, i paid for parts from richie rich a week ago and I havent seen them. I told him to take his time on shipping.... because they are large items and boxing them up will take time... If im so unreasonable, how is it that I have no problem with not recieving the parts yet? Easy, I have been in contact with him and know exactly what is going on. I am the furthes thing from unreasonable. I expect that when I choose buy it now, it is should be shipped the next business day or 2. Not over a week later...

I think that the shipping part is exceptional. Everything I got, I got from him really fast, and everything was packaged so it couldnt be damaged... I am very happy with the few transactions between myself and Randy.

I thought they were in Maryland, but I could be wrong....

I want to make sure everyone understands what I am saying I understand that parts are ordered from suppliers, and sometimes those parts are backordered or delayed. Â That is a part of business, and I deal with those types of issues on a daily basis (nothing is more frustrating than truck freight because an item shipped a week ago could show up today, or in 2 more weeks). Â There is a major difference between a customer calling you to order a part, and then you order that part from your supplier, it be on back order. Â That is completely different from what happened between me and you. Â You listed the parts on ebay and didnt have them. Â That is a completely different ball game, and that is why I am upset..... Regardless of what is posted in this thread, Lower Shore Performance has people who are not satisfied other than me, and a couple people have told me I should notify ebay. Â I have been contacted by multiple people from this site saying they had a bad experience, and I also have had some people I talked to say they had a good experience. Â I have no doubt that you take care of most of your customers, and I praise you for that. Â I didnt report anything to ebay, and I also didnt leave negative feed back. Â I could have, and I believe I have the right to because my complaint is valid, but because I am not interested in causing people more grief than nesscary, and to be honest, I wouldnt want you to have to deal with ebay on something that happens every once in a while, and because of that I just decided to bite my lip and only post here. Â I only would have left negative feed back if I didnt recieve the part, or it took over a month to recieve. Â I feel that my experience with Lower Shore Performance was worth posting in the feed back forum, because I am 100% sure other people have had issues as well. Â Those people just are worried about the conciquences of what they post. Â When I posted that comment, I didnt know if you were or were not on the site but I quickly learned that you were when I was contacted by multiple people. Â Obviously your on this site, and maybe, just maybe because of that they dont want to rock the boat because on here just like every other site I am part of, if the person that is being talked about is well liked, it becomes a war on 1 person. Â The truth of the matter is that even though other negative comments havent been posted in this thread, unhappy customers do exist (which is true of all businesses including ours). Â I dont have a problem hurting anyones feelings (which is not my intent), and other people do. Â I will gladly post my experience which I did, and I have said my piece. If the experience was good, I would have been the first to post a praise. Like I said. Â This whole situation could have avoided by simply refunding my money.... Â Instead of that, you offered to give me free shipping (or reduced shipping) on an item I purchase later on... thanks for the offer but no thanks... Ill just buy my parts from *DM, or other suppliers. Â Whats even funnier is it seems that people think I am just being a jerk to be a jerk, and I just want to complain about something. I have dealt with multiple people from the board for both selling and buying parts, and the one person I spent more money with than anyone was DAD. I ordered over 200$ worth of parts from him. Â Some of the parts I ordered were backordered. Â I never once got upset with him, never once posted anything negative (infact I posted many positive things about him, and continue to do so), and I even am a repeat customer of his. Â The difference is that I was made aware the next day that the items were on back order. Â Even if I had recieved an email from you stating the situation that they were backordered I probably would have not been upset, and I definately know that I wouldnt have been nearly as upset as I was when I found out that my parts were backordered and i wasnt made aware of it, and I would have never posted anything negative about you on this board. Â The fact is that I had to email you 5 days later and ask for a status. Â I should have never had to ask for a status, you should have given me a status when you realized I paid for a part that you didnt have in stock. Â Regardless if you feel I am wrong or not, my opinion is my opinion, and my opinion of our transaction is not very good. Â Regardless, I have stated my piece, and I am done.... Â Â Oh yea, and on a positive note, The instructions that were included with the TB kit were exceptional. Â I was impressed with the 2nd piece of paper sent with the 2 shaft seals and 1 fuel supply seal. Â The instructions were very easy to follow, gave personall experience with changing the seals, and how to do it correctly, and they even went a little further than I would expect, so for that Brian, I do give you a thumbs up.... -Dwain Â

Yes, my car is a daily driver, and while driving, it was spraying fuel all over, which I found after I started driving the car on a daily basis which was not happening for the first 500 miles i put on the engine (now it has 600).  Fuel dries very quickly, and evaporates very fast inside a hot engine bay.  The only reason I even found it was when we put it on the dyno for the 2nd time.  The first run, I asked my friend Jeremy to watch the engine because I thought I could hear a boost leak, and what I knew was a boost leak was also spraying fuel out.  After installing the engine, I inspected the engine compartment for leaks on a twice a week basis and resolved every leak I found.  Since I found the fuel problem (the same day I ordered the kit) I didnt drive the car while waiting for the parts I ordered.  The car sat for 8 years before I purchased it and put a new engine in the car.  Anyone knows that any car that sits, seals rot, and will start leaking very quickly and randomly, and since this is my first starquest, I do not know all of the areas that leaks can occour, and since this is the first TBI car  have owned, I didnt expect that fuel would be sprayed out of the TB.  If I had known that the TB needed to be rebuilt (which I didn't), I would have done it at the time of the engine rebuild, but it didnt show any signs of leaking, and was not discolored.  Work is so close that the car never even gets warm enough for the temp guage to register it has warmed up, yet I still choose not to drive it.  I was going to pull the Tb and seal it with silicione temporarily so I could drive the car to and from work which is about 3 min away, but because I knew of the fire issues, I got a ride from my roommate which was a major inconvenience because I had to completely rearange my schedule arround someone elses schedule, and I didnt have a car to drive.  That is not your fault, but my car was down much longer than it should have been because I didnt recieve the parts that I purchased.  Why should I have a "professional" attitude towards your company who offers products for sale they dont have in stock.  It is one thing to order a part from my supplier and they do not have it not in stock or the item is back ordered.  You are the first person I have ever dealt with on ebay that sells parts that they dont have on hand, and I understand that you normally do have them on hand, but you didnt have it in stock when I bought it.  This was not a case of me calling you to order a part, and getting upset because you didnt have it in stock.  You offered the item for auction, and didnt have it in stock, and that was my complaint.  My business ethics would not ever allow me to offer a part on ebay that I didnt have on hand.  Maybe thats just me, maybe i hold businesses to a higher standard... the same standards I follow, but regardless, because of my experience I am not interested in doing more business with you which sucks, but thats just how I feel..  I have sent 3 people to *DM instead of you because of the service I recieved.  Now thats not alot of profit loss, and I know that, but those 3 people will more than likely referr more people, and those people will recommend more people, and all of them will go to *DM for the same parts instead of you.  I asked for my money back.  You could have resolved this entire issue simply by refunding my money.  I would have gladly bought them from Kelly, and I would have never said a word to anyone about this transaction because if you refunded my money, I would consider that taking care of the customer.  Sometimes you cant meet your customers needs, and sometimes you build false expectations by selling parts to people for auction that you dont have.  I shouldnt have to email you or call you to ask if you have them in stock.  YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TB KITS LISTED ON EBAY SO ITS IMPLLIED.  We have had things happen where we end up refunding money, or refunding some money because we didnt meet the expectations of our customer.  This is very rare, but it still happens, and in most cases, it was offered by us, not asked for from the customer.  Our shop is so busy that sometimes it takes us a couple weeks to start on a car because we have so much business.  Thats how busy we are.  We are the only import shop in town that has business like we do, and that is because of the quality of work, and customer service.  I do not consider you telling me that eventyally I will recieve the parts after you recieve them good customer service, and again that is my opinion.

I understand people have had good experiences with him as well. I really wish that I had the emails he sent because if people read the emails they would understand. Regardless, I still stand behind my opinion of them, and will continue to state my opinion regarding them and what i feel was not good service. Regardless, waiting for a part to be delivered to him so it can be sent to me is not right. He should not sell parts on ebay he doesnt have in stock. That was a rule on ebay for a long time. Maybe the fact that I work for a shop, and know how we do business makes me biased....

Welll, your lucky... It took me 2 weeks to get the parts... What a joke I will never buy anything from them again. I dont care if they have a rare 83 hood for 1$. Their lack of taking responsibility for their actions and the fact that instead of apologizing for them not having the parts, they insulted me and made it seem like I was bein unreasonable for wanting a part that I purchased from them. The funny part is I have already told 3 starquesters to buy from *DM instead of Brian because of the crappy service I got from them... It might not be alot of money lost, but its still money lost...

The website is really slow to load pages. I have a t1 at work, and a 5mbps connection at home. I literally have to click a link and walk away almost all of the time. Using the search is next to impossible unless I try to use it at 4 am. Using the search feature typically times out because it takes so long, and unless noone is browsing this board, it takes for ever to do anything. It takes me almost 5 min to get into my PM's. Is anyone looking at maybe putting this site on a dedicated server, or more bandwidth?

I didnt have time to work on it this weekend, but I will be starting it on tuesday. I should be able to get it almost completely done within a day. I think you guys are going to be pretty happy with these, and I am hoping to be able and offer them cheap... The materials are not that expensive, and because of the type of glue I use, I should be able to have the whole thing put together in about 20 min after I cut all the pieces. Just for everyones reference The glue I use is the same glue that holds acrylic fish tanks together, and they hold extremly high pressure with no issues. . These will not break or fall apart.... I have pretty extensive experience with acrylic...

No, but I will this weekend. I plan on making one for my car on saturday. They will be available in a stock dark grey color, and a satin black... I can even do colored plexiglass, and carbon fiber look plexi. I will make mine this weekend and take pics....

I am quite good with making acrylic products, and I have the ability to bend acrylic/plexiglas. I have been toying with the idea of making brand new bezels for our cars. Now these items would be near perfect, would mount in the stock location, using the stock mounting screws, and I can make them with/without the pocket. I have been looking at making one, and after cracking my new one yesterday, I think I am going to make them. I am going to make one with no pocket, 1 with no pocket but holes for 3 guages, and 1 with large pocket. I also can make them with other holes and provisions like a boost controller. I know we all have issues with these things, and most of us have one that is broken or cracked. Would you guys be interested in one of these?

I went looking for this yesterday. Â I was not able to get the 3rd plug, but did get a plug that worked for my car. Â Unless you have an aftermarket radio that supports external controls, getting that harness is pointless and is not going to work. Â My clarion supports external controls, and I have only seen a handfull of head units that actually support it. Â You may also need a converter box to convert the signal from the steering wheel to a signal that the radio understands. Â Are you sure you have a radio that supports external controls, cause if not, a regular harness adapter will work for your needs. If your using a stock radio, and the pigtails are cut off of your stock harness, go to Best Buy. Â They sell reverse harnesses (the oem stock harness side that would plug into your stock radio), and may be able to get you the 3rd connector (take the radio with you). Â If you can get the connector, let me know and I will give you the wiring info and where each wire color should be connected Also, I will be going to the junk yard on saturday. Â I will look for the connector from other mitsu cars, and if I can find them, ill grab them for you and send them so you have the right connectors... Normally I would just cut mine off but because this car is so rare, I dont want to cut the stock harness, or i would have just cut it the radio control harness off and just give it to you because I have no use for it and my car has an after market steering wheel now...

Well, 9 days later, and I still dont have the parts... Im am so mad!

So on tuesday, I orderd a throttle body gasket kit from them with new shaft seals (on ebay). Â I ordered it on tuesday evening, and got an email wednesday morning thanking me for my payment and telling me that I would recieve another email with a tracking number. Â I sent an email today and asked the status and Brian told me that they havent received their shipment yet.... wt.... are you doing selling parts on ebay that you do not even have in your posession. Â I understand that mistakes happen, but you still have more listed on ebay as we speak. Â It is one thing to drop ship from the manufacturer for large parts, or highly expensive parts, or parts that require a lot of time and/or money to ship (truck shipment items like body kits), but completely different to sell the parts, and wait for your shipment before you can ship them to me. Â Also Brian, if you are on this site, I would recommend you stop selling parts to people that you do not have in stock. Â I work for a shop, and everything we sell on ebay, we have in stock or on hand. Â Â Your business ethics need some work. Â How can you even expect people to wait 2 to 3 weeks for a parts that I can get through autozone faster (minus the shaft seals). Â The only reason I even ordered this from you was because I didnt know Kelly sold them, and only because i want the shaft seals as well (which kelly also sells) For future reference, if anyone wants to buy one of those rebuild kits, I would recommend KellydaMan from this board. Â He also sells them, I am pretty sure he has them in stock....

I would be interested in white, with blue lettering if possible, with a chrylser logo. I would also like the boost gauge to be in bar, not psi....
