Just tell your wife I am married and it would be allright.. LOL.

 

Hey can anybody tell me where to find new photos of the build??
I've looked everywhere and been unable to find them. Just old ones from weeks gone by.

 

I'm still waiting just like the rest of you. Email from Corky.

DJ,
A good week. Considerable progress. Again, I am answering w/o pictures.

I’ll try to get a picture album your way soon.

It looks like driving this thing might be within 10/15 days.

Squeeze, crossfingers, pray, all that sort of stuff. The first drive will be the biggest impression……. But surely not the last impression.

All the best,

Corky

 

Well thanks for the update,Titan 1, you are a very patient man. I differ in that I only have a small deposit to say that I would hold up my part of the deal.
If it was my car it would be on it's way home in pieces on a flat deck before I waited this long on a 8 to 10 week promise. 5 to 10 days, if he counts them like 8 to 10 weeks, it's a long ways to go. As far as the pictures, empty promises. I see on the thread, where they have without being asked, said, there would be weekly photos and have mentioned photos numerous times that did not happen. It's no wonder North American economy is suffering with work ethics and empty promises like these. Does not built much faith. This is what takes customers to the Asian market, on time performance, is the term we are looking for here. There you have my rant the way I see it..take your best shot at me I can handle it.
Bart

 

Bart, you have been here for at least 4 years as a member, do you honestly see people liniing up to completely engineer a custom forced induction system on a low production, quirky car with a 10+ year old platform that most companies quit supporting before most of us bought our cars? If so, let me know.

If not, keep your mouth shut and don't **** in everyone's beer. If you want a refund, ask for one, and stop posting. I do not have a deposit in because I am unaware of which way I am going to go with mine (V8, SC, NOS, etc) and I knew the build would take considerably longer than expected, but no need to **** Corky off and **** everyone else that has been waiting for years for someone like him to come along....

Just my $0.02

 

After all this waiting.. I'm kinda torn whether to wait any more or just purchase your setup.. Oh wait.. You don't have anything to offer.. my bad.

 

Well he doesn't but you might wanna check the Asian markets .

 

Did you find something?
$18,000 dollar turbo with a bonus free Honda?

 

Bart, if you want out I'd love to get in. In fact if anybody wants out please let me know. I bet we can work out a deal that would make us both happy.

 

I'd bet since the kits and purchased parts required have not been assembled yet.. an email to Stephanie at BEGi would probably get you slid right in line for one... Just tell here Mrmiata sent you!

I don't recall this being slated a "group buy".. just minimum commitments with deposits to start project.

 

I feel ripped off ..that was only $0.01 worth
You can do better
No I will not be bullied into keeping my mouth shut, this is a forum where you get your opinion and I get mine. Please don't put your beer where I am taking a whiss.
How would Corky even know what's being said by me, last activity from their company was 01/27/2012 unless you know different. A person with so many posts, you appear to have more to say than I ever will. Now I will take my other $0.01 worth

 

Why wait? Anyone here could just as easily end up with FI and no one else has to build it for them. Buy an SRT ECU, have it "virginized", pickup an SRT-6 SC and manifolds,air temp sensor, injectors,map sensor,tranny solenoids for good measure and your own IC design, borrow a Star Das to get it all going and you're done. My setup shows that it isn't much more difficult than that.

Watch e-bay for deals, find a wrecked car or part-out; done.

 

this is turning out to be like the speedriven headers thread

 

...waiting patiently...

Maybe it's just a perspective thing but it's like people have never waited for something before. Check thread, no update, move on, know they are still working on it, news will come when there is some. Feeling ripped off? Read the sideskirt thread, or maybe the faux vented strakes and on and on and on, there are enough threads to keep you busy reading real complaints of people that were actually ripped off while actual work is being done on this project regardless of if you see it or not. This is a real company doing real work which takes time to get right, you have called to talk to them right? Voiced your concerns? Asked for info?

No? So just complained to a bunch of people on a message board not ofiliated with the company in any way? ... *Sigh*

Obviously everyone on the list wants the kit on the car and yea communication isn't abundant but as stated a million times if anyone doesn't like it there are options and people outside the gates waiting to get in.

I put much more than 200 down for vinyl figures sight unseen with nothing but an estimated delivery time 6+ months out. No communication until they are getting ready to ship. The company has a track record for always delivering and they do just that. I expect the same thing from BEGI and will continue to wait for a quality product they are confident in. When it's installed and your foot is mashing the gas petal the last thing your going to give a **** about is the wait.

 

I think I saw that ad in the back of a magazine too.. Wife said it would be after the divorce though..

 

and probably by the time they get the product they promised to the buyers of the turbo most of the people will probably sell there cars or drop out...

 

Not really seeing the logic there... Whats it been so far 6 months? Most NA people have been waiting 4+ years for something like this to be developed, after putting money down and waiting a paltry 6 months were gonna sell the car and say f it? You did see the last update right? They should be test driving by the end of the month. If everything goes well a couple more months seems reasonable to me to finish up the rest and start getting the kits out. When the project started I was thinking it should be ready by Fall Dragon time and that looks to be the case. If I can pull up in the mountains with the turbo this year I will be more than happy.

 

i still have faith but more communication between purchaser and seller is the key here, thats all people are asking for even if there's no progress...i see thread after thread of people complaining about these group buy deals where a deposit is paid and everything is great in the beginning expectations are high and then the more time goes on the less and less communicate is made between both parties and then it spirals into negative comments or extremely patient people attacking unhappy people about keeping there mouth shut about the money that they forked with no communicate about the product there expecting...just my .02 cents

 

BoilerupXFire, you might want to cover your beer.
it's not the wait, it's not about having patience. It's about how we do business, tell me 6+ months then so be it.
Airscape, I found that very educational, I had no idea what part of the Crossfire,Vinyl Figures were. A quick Google search told what they were and what you do in your private life if your business. I happy to see you are happy with your supplier telling you 6+ months. Had he told you 8 to 10 weeks you would still be happily waiting, so for that a big"atta boy" to you.
I would like to implement this strategy in my workplace. First I would have to write a Manual on how to brainwash people that we were the only company that could do the job. We will come up with a catch phrase like "MORE GRUEL PLEASE SIR"
Of course we will take orders , promising them deadlines, with no intentions of meeting them at all. Then we will push forward on the big money accounts, leaving the small account on the back-burner. 8 to 10 weeks ,8 to 10 months, oh well
Heck we are just doing them a favor anyhow. "MORE GRUEL PLEASE SIR"
We will implement this strategy in our workplace too, not just for the customer.
I would have to write the Manual myself, because if I pass it to another Dept. and they read it, and implement these changes there would be no telling when I would get it back.
Take sick time,greatly reduced because the pressure of deadlines would be removed. Unfortunately the savings in sick time would be eaten up with the new people we would need to hire to man the phones and say to the customer"patience"
I'll be up all night writing these manuals to implement tomorrow in my workplace and let you know how it goes.
I know a lot of you say these Crossfire are quirky to work on . Yes I see these Crossfires have morphed into so many different things. Making it hard to work on.
Just the other week or so on the forum I saw one turning into a Honda, it was starting at the front lip spoiler.
Now if we could only get one to morph into a Chinese turbo. we would have something .
It's not a transformer it's a crossfire! Same car they have been looking at for 6 months, how quirky can it be.
Fathers day rant
if I'm getting your $0.02 worth of opinion, please make it the full $0.02

 

What color of skirt do you need to go with your "it ain't right" little cheer and pep rally?
