Judging from Huml's posts on Toonerz about "sending parts to John," it certainly appears that SBR sponsors John. :nod:

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Can't find the reciept (so I'm sure you'll say something about that), but the part number on the box you sent is SLB390424. With the inline filter it measures almost 30 inches long. Just in case you don't know, the turbo on a DSM sits right next to the oil feed on the head. A 12 inch set-up would have been able to loop out towards the radiator and back to the top of a turbo on these cars. So what would you need a 24 inch line for that totals almost 30 fucking inches with fittings and filter? I know, I could have spiraled it down and made it all pretty and shit, right? :KANE:

I need to read a book? I have taken master's level courses in the aftermarket. My professor's have written books! University of Wisconsin - Madison, Executive Education classes. When is the last time you read a book, Mike? Ever been to college?

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Unfortunately Oli, this wasn't a refund. My card was charged, then they lost the slip it was charged on. My car was down for 2 weeks while I called every day trying to get it fixed. My parts didn't get shipped because they said I didn't pay for them. This was quite a while ago, so I am sure things are much more automated now, but I had still talked to Mike 3 times and numerous times to Craigr. There were probably only 4-5 employees back then.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Wow that was a long 17 pages and everyone on here seems to come to the same conclusion, they hate SBR. I guess, however, I am glad I read this because 1) it was entertaining and 2) I now know to think twice about ordering from SBR when I finally get my DSM in the next few days…



Thankfully there are lots of good shops right around here!



But anyways...continue...

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

So by reading this thread I have learned that either SBR is the biggest DSM vendor or the worst. No matter which board I go on there is a thread for you guys.

Either way Chris did take care of me once. I could never contact anyone but when I got in touch with him I received my part asap. I spoke to Chris on AIM today and asked him about a TIAL BOV and IF they had them in stock and he said always and I said I would call in the morning to order one and he said no I will call you and make it easier. So I would say talk to Chris if you are going to order from them. He seems to be the best for his honesty.

But, it is a nervous buy either way!

Im glad I found another board to whore upon today thanks SBR! lol

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

That's it, we are going mainstream! And to think, this was all a plot to build traffic and intrest in the site to increase the desire for SBR to come aboard! Muhuhuhuhuh, master plans to rule the world.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

This first post is the problem. If you want to know if posting about your site is allowed, read the site rules or PM an Admin prior to posting about it. Not the "slip it in on them" like done here. If you want to sponsor the site, you contact an Admin by PM. If you want to know if there is enough traffic to justify your sponsorship you contact an Admin by PM, or you read the bottom of the main forum page as the statistics are out in the open.

You can stay here and bash on your "prospective customers" all you want, as this is quite entertaining.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Wow. Maybe a Re-introduction is in order. Maybe a bit late to say "hey, started off on the wrong foot..." Worth a shot though. There has got to be a lot of knowledge gained from all the apparent mistakes (and successes) of past. Learning the hard way isn't fun but it is effective when approached from a new point of view. I would like to see what you folks can offer this community in tech and or specials. Your ball.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

I wouldn't. They can go back to spamming Toonerz.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Damn Jakey, I don't know if is it me or what, but I'm starting to feel as if you don't like SBR?!?!?!?!? :nhl_crach: :news:

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

I don't know what you're talking about. :toiletp:

After all, they do only respond to half of the premises people present in their posts and then twist it around to make it sound like we are all presenting invalid arguments.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

I will be the first one and maybe the only one on here to admit that I have bought parts from you in the past and never had any problems.
99% doesn't always cut it though. If 99% was good enough:

As many as 50 babies are dropped in hospitals every day.
There is no electric power for nearly 7 hours every month.
Every hour, at least 20,000 letters are lost in the mail.
Over 200,000 errors are made in medical prescriptions on an annual basis.
Every week, doctors botch up 5,000 surgeries.
Major airports report 2 incorrect landings every day.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Damn, we might hit 20 pages by midnight.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

You fucked yourselves when your first post was...
Prior opinion of SBR aside, that post is nothing but disrespectful to those who run these forums, plain and simple. Questions?

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

You silly people and your little pages. I am only on page 9!! Change it in the user CP so you don't have to flip pages so often.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Hey, I'm not the one trying to make for my shortcomings by having longer pages. :lol:

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

SBR sucks ass. Just admit you're a shitty company.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Yes, I am still on Page 9 as well..

I only deal with Chris, and he seems like a good guy.

Obviously opinions vary quite a bit! Funny read

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

This is awesome, all this thread has done for SBR is to LOSE former and potential customers. SBR GM should start his own shop, he could probably do quite well as a leader as long as he instills the respect he has for customers into his employees.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Your right, go buy from Buschur or FP.

Attn: Mike Huml of Slowboy Racing

I have a customer service issue that was not taken care of. This dates back to 2005 and has not been resolved as of yet. I will give you another opportunity now. I will post up what was said in the e-mails and then go from there. I will edit out my personal information.

Just go ahead and send us back the pipe. Place a note in the box saying what is going on and we will exchange it out for you. Thank you.

Jon,



I don't have a camera but I may be able to round one up. In the meantime I can explain to you very clearly how short the pipe is. The beads on the pipe come flush to where the coupler is on both sides with the beads still being exposed. It kind of looks like this:



coupler pipe coupler

-----------/\_____________/\----------



bead bead



Three inches or even a little longer than the pipe you sent me should work out great. The turbo I have is a hybrid which still retains a stock DSM manifold but has a garret style center-section and a much larger compressor side. The turbo was a 57 trim from Victory Performance which still retained the stock manifold. When I put this turbo on I had to find a shorter air filter because it moved everything over so far near the passenger side that my existing air filter wouldn't even come close to fit. I will try to find a friend who can take a picture so I can e-mail it to you guys. In the meantime, maybe I will just use a piece of exhaust pipe to fill the gap.

If it is possible I would like to see pictures of your setup with the pipe on. This way we can take a look at it and see exactly what is going on before we give you a pipe with just estimation. Also this way you can take a picture with a tape measure so we know exactly how short it is. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you.

I recently ordered your street fmic kit for a 1g dsm. I received it this last Tuesday. I was getting everything all mounted up today when I noticed that the pipe that goes between the turbo and the intercooler is about three inches too short. This is probably because I have a hybrid turbo. Anyway, I need a longer pipe a.s.a.p. I would be more than willing to ship the piece of pipe that is too short back to you. My e-mail address is ... and I ordered the FMIC kit on your website and paid via Paypal where my name is also ... and my address is

Thanks in advance."



I followed the instructions your representative gave to me and the package was sent back twice. The second time around your representative told me he would be looking for the package but it was still rejected.

I will publicly post on this forum whether your company, Slowboy Racing, will perform good customer service and do what you said you would do originally. You stated you have everything in your computer dating back to 2003, well this is from 2005 so I expect you to have it. If you are willing to help me out so I have a complete intercooler kit post up a reply on this forum and I will e-mail you any information you need from me. The pipe is still sitting in the box I mailed it to you in waiting to be shipped.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

I will post in this thread everything that takes place between myself and Slowboy. I sent SBR Joe a pm and an email with my address, phone number, and a little more info regarding the piece of piping I need.

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

I let some others know that SBR is willing to help with issues and gave them this link. Hopefully it will help everyone out!

Hopefully not to big of a flood!

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

well i personally dont have any experiances with SBR, but a good friend of mine is building his car in my garage and has ordered numerous times from them without any issues, even supports SBR on his car (shift knob, sticker).

So after reading all of this my opinion hasnt changed, im still neutral, shit the biss screw in my throttle body is from SBR and it came within a week of ordering it (buddy did it for me). So i guess i just wanted to get my .02 in before the riot insues

Re: Whatsup From Slowboy??!!!
 

Maybe I was just on my second wind trying to make it to page 17 and I was overly optimistic. A lot of constructive advice was given from good people that was completely twisted or overlooked. At some point a buddy or wingman system (or common sense business practice) should have kicked in to put a stop loss on this. Instead they seems to be egging each other on including Mike. High five everyone. Nicely done.

I wonder if today can be a new day. Everyone has bad days (not usually the entire staff at once). I hope the SBR GM can overcome his coworkers ways. There seemed to be some hope there based on his posts.
