i saw josh last week when i got my new crank pulley sensor...dh-racing is moving out to vegas this week from what he told me...and that's probably the reason why he hasn't posted...he will get back to this eventually and try to explain everything...

the single groove doesn't need a spacer. and it can still do AC. just not power steering. i think i'm gonna get a swap, so i might as well sell mine. $100 shipped?

Okay, that explains it if DH racing is moving. Be used to be on here every day answering posts. I think it should work out eventually. Stuff like this you just have to be patient.

I have read all of these posts and have not seen anyone say I want a refund. So I am saying it now I want a refund plain and simple. I will be more than happy to ship it back if I got a refund. I am really tired of hearing new problems developing over a part that was supposed to be engineered to work perfect then work perfect with a spacer.Well that doesn't sound perfect to me.

I've had no problems and I'm quite happy with the pulley. Little squeaking of the belts when I first run the car, but after it warms up it stops. If that's a problem, lemme know so I can be concerned, seriously. Other than that, I've had no problems. Just don't bring up the install, because well.. that's another story and about $30 worth of broken extensions, lol.

As far as the guy saying that DH-racing is crap, you are completely wrong.

From talking to Josh and other members on the site, Josh doesn't have a 7thgencivic.com to test his products on before they go out I am guessing.

He has done a lot of releases before everything was fixed, but then again some of those business such as AEM and other stuff go thru a lot of testing to make everything fit right.

Things such as the pulley rubbing the sensor and the install not going right on the intakemani/tb combo are unfortunate, but no doubt, he works his machinest to the bone to get everything fixed.

Don't bash on Dh-racing just because a few things went wrong, I bet if there was a AEM complaint book, it would be thousands of times greater then these guys, this is just all centralized in one area.

refund

I think i might want a refund cause of financial things....

My car needs to be fixed instead of fixed up. And cause i dont want to wait anymore.

Oh and im going to Europe in May so i need plenty of $$$ while im there.

I need breaks bad, need to take my car in to get abs fixed, need to pay off credit card for a ton of purchases like new tires.

Well i think i might call them tomorow.

Yeah, I doubt they'll just give you a refund. I don't understand how easily some of you give up. There is no such thing as a perfect mod. Everything requires testing and doesn't always fit right. It's all part of the game.

Some of you guys are still early in the modding phase. Getting tail lights, intakes, etc and probably going to a shop to get work done. I've been there, too. But if you really like modding your car, there is a next level after that. Nothing will work perfectly all the time. That's life. So is waiting...

You guys are quick to go to the BBB. Imagine if that happened to SF--I'm sure they'd be out of business long ago because customers can't be patient.

agree! If you guys want to sell it, sell it. stop complaining. Letz give the spacer a chance first before making more complains.

I don't know what's going on with the spacer, and at this point I'm not caring all that much. My ported head came in today, so I'm happy for now. Hopefully they send it soon.

Josh has informed me that the spacers are shipped and should be arriving to everyone soon. Probably in the next few days or next week. Now we can get these things put on and see what they can do!

The pulley probably won't do much of anything , but make faster revs...Which is cool, but it won't produce any power like you think it will....I hope that Dh proves me wrong though for the sake of everyone who has put up with this headache

Faster revs = more power sooner = higher speed sooner = faster
