Well for that you get your money back right away being you get 5% off everything after you sign up, plus you have the option of getting free parts other ways.

i think from all the applications u guys send equals all the money they spend on sending out the pulleys to everyone. this in a way gives them some sponsorship at no cost to them and thus gives them business by having u bring them business to get a sponsorship. sounds just like a circle going round and round. aren't pulleys not that much anyways?

I didn't catch if there was a due date on those apps. Will the offer still be open if I decide to do this in the future? Like give me a couple more weeks to decide?

No problem everyone. How can anyways say they got nothing. Either you got partial, full, web-site/banner, or Bus Rev which give you a set amount of money to earn in order to recieve a partial, and on top of that you already get 5% off just for signing up which you can use at any time. You really have to work to get the deal, and for full as you can see only one person got it and he has 4-5 pages of mods which shows me how bad he wants to be in this scene. Send your apps whenever you want I will be doing this forever.

Gotti all you have to do is a little work to get the 12% partial, how much is that to ask. As for this being a circle, the whole import industry is one big circle, from forums, to emails, to ebay, to junkyards, everything is passed around. I gave a chance to everyone, $30 how much is that to ask when you get 5% off you basically get your money back right off the bat. I hope this ends up being a good idea, and not a bicker fest.

$30 and you get 5% from the company, and a chance to earn free parts, so you cant lose, no matter what is on your car. This is still going on and we do offer a bit for the K-Series.

I am not going to pay for a sponsership. You are supposed to sponser us. Not us provide you with money. We should be charging you to represent your company.

Are you serious. Most people don't even have enough to be considered for a sponsorship, but we give them 5% for a measly $30 fee. How is that not fair?? Plus I have been giving people very good deals on top of it. If you check probably 30-40 other sites they offer this very same thing. It's a way to boost the industry and help those see they can achieve their goal. You aren't paying us to represent our company. You are paying NOTHING. Even if you don't get accepted you get 5% off. If you order a ported head you would get double that off, so how is that no fair. I don't think you see the big picture, $30 to get good discount, and if you have what it takes you would apply knowing you would get a 15% + discount.

a few Definitions:

Sponsor:

n : One that finances a project or an event carried out by another person or group, especially a business enterprise that pays for radio or television programming in return for advertising time.

sponsorship

n : the act of sponsoring (either officially or financially)


so by definiton, having some one Pay you to "sponsor" them, is not actually a Sponsorship but rather Pre paid discounts.

Personaly I would never pay to get "Sponsored" or to just get a discount.

and no, my car is not a show car.

I dont see why there is an arguement here. If you guys feel so strongly against this deal, THEN DONT DO IT. Here is a company willing to do R&R on the 7th gen civic and you guys are hating on them and probably driving them out. How many times have we been pissed at the fact that no one will give the 7th gen the time of the day. Here is a respectable, quality company ready to help. If anything you guys should feel greatful.

We are just trying to give everyone a shot at their dream. Look at it like this. Most people see a $5000 motor and say "I will never see that in my car" but when we offer this it gives that gleam of hope, chance to achieve it and also a chance to get it at a better price. We can sit here and debate this all night long, if you would like me to edit tie heading and call it "Apply to be a part of our team, and recieve all our benefits" then I can do that. Simply said we offer more for the D17 than any other company in the world, and plan on keeping it that way. On another note, we offer cores, work to SOHC Motors which most people laugh at, and don't understand, and spend time on forums working deals out, and meeting the needs of customers. I love doing this for people on here, and this forum is the best I have dealt with yet, what's the big deal of what we call it. It's a good deal no matter which way you look at it. Show car or no show car, if you have work into your car, and show us that you have the drive, determination to do whatever it takes, then you would be looking at $2500+ off a built motor, ect.. Our work, and communication with customers is what makes our company I think the best in the world, someone wants something I generally do everything I can to fulfill it for them, we have world records for our work, and we are 3 tenths away from having the world fastest all motor street Honda, which should only be a couple weeks before I am posting we took it over. I also am planning to have the most powerful pound for pound SOHC 1.6 Motor In the world by getting 230-240 Hp at the wheels and 180+ ft lbs of torque All Motor. We do all we can to make everyone happy, and I hate feeling like I am preaching to keep everyone feeling good about what we are doing, but I will do everything I can to keep it that way.

Damn that was a book, sorry guys
