Sorry if I'm coming to the party late here...

You can't call out somebody like Brandon, regardless of your level of patience. He is probably one of the most well-respected members that the .org is fortunate to have both in his level of character and in his willingness to help anybody and everybody. Members like him are what makes this site great - we have lost too many good members to situations like this.

Nobody is disputing that $450 is a lot of money, or downplaying your need for communication or your parts. All we ask is that you bear in mind that he is one of the BEST we have and you need to think rationally before you do something like you did. The .org is a small tight-knit group and to be honest an apology would go a long way. We all make mistakes and we're all human, it happens.

No need for any more name calling or flying off the handle, it honestly only hurts you in the end. Where would you be if somebody like Brandon said "no" to selling you such incredible parts because of your lack of character and bad attitude? What if you need help or advice down the road if your build has issues and nobody wants to help you?

I'm not saying it will come to that, it's just something to consider. It isn't what we do or accomplish in this community that defines us, it is how we interact with the other people and help those who are in need.

The parts look great - I wouldn't expect anything less from Brandon - and your build is coming along nicely. Good luck with it!

See no lie that was the best comment ive recieved. I know i should of never posted anything up but i did it anyways and i wish i would of never said it. Ive told brandon sorry for over reacting but thats it. He wont sell me anymore parts due to what i said. Just means ill have to make them myself i guess. I know im human and some days i do fly off the handle and i shouldnt have the way i did. I know i was wrong for doing it that way and i should of just made a post asking if everything was going ok for him.

For what here bro. Im not apologizing to anyone of you on here. Your another dbag. My incosiderate self? Says how well you know me. Was it your money? Um no. Im supposed to send the money i work for and trust everyone on here? Nope i dont think. Do you think i care about ANYONES opinion that i dont know on here? Nope i sure dont. Tell me how all that works out for you. Please leave me the best comment you can but dont give yourself a headache thinking to hard on it k their bud. Lets keep it coming all you fuks.


Yep, didn't care and it was a pretty funny comeback. I will give you credit there bud. As far as your build is coming, it is getting to a respectable level. I see your not cutting corners with the important things, and that is all that matters. Good job and cant wait to see it put back together.

AND FOR THE RECORD, if everyone on here decides to want to turn there back on you for any reason at all, then I will still be willing to help. Not trying to be a smart ass to you, just trying to not be you. Your decision if you accept my help or not. I don't care either way. Just keep your misspelled curse words and over the top attitude someplace other than the forums and get the car done already, lol.

Excellent decision. In the process of finishing up and installing mine as we speak, let me know if you need any help once you're at that point.

Wow, I did the undercoated engine bay years ago and now it seems like everybody is copying!!! LOL, but in all seriousness it is a really good way to hide scratches, small dents and other flaws.

My only other thing I got is THIS:


I would highly suggest getting the paint off of the inside of the compressor housing. The clearances are so tight anyways, you don't wanna risk paint coming off and causing any damage in there.

^^^I definitely agree with that especially in an area that will see stuff being slid across it. Once it starts chipping it will eventually get into the turbo.

Otherwise, looks badass and keep up the good work.

Everything looks pretty good so far. I would reweld this though. The roll bar isnt correct.

The roll bar isnt correct because its not welded directly to the rear strut towers. Where you welded it doenst offer any support.
