I'm getting screwed!!!!!!
My car is beyond ****ed!! I have the HP Racing header with custom downpipe, hi flo cat, withe the 02 sensors relocated to the bottom of the car, 1 before the cat, 1 after. The mechanic where i did the install had to extend the 02 sensor wires in order to reach the new location at the bottom of the car. The wires he used are not good enough i guess. I took my car to the dealership to get it looked at because it wasn't running well. They said i need new wires to extend. THey ordered special wires from DC Sports. THey said that would be all i needed.
The wires for my 02 sensor came in today. They are only 2 feet long!! I need 10 feet!! Now they have to order 4 more wire kits at 120 each!!!!!!!! Oh man, i told them where to go and where their mom's were last night (sucking me off). I am so pissed. The Service Manager who i am supposedly friends with came on the phone and they are now giving me the wires at 95 each. So 380 plus taxes plus who know's how much on labour. And i'm lucky if the wires come in this week. God dammit. I'm gonna kill somebody. And they have no loaner for me to drive. What the hell is that all about. Ford sucks, but when i had all my problems with my Contour, they gave me a car. A Tempo, but at least i had transportation. I'm going to Westgate from now on for service.
I called the mechanic that did my header install and told him what's going on. He says he's never had a problem with anything like that before and that he doesn't think it's the wires that he extended. But it is. He basically gave me the cold shoulder and didn't say sorry or anything or offer to help. Ahole!!!!!! I'm not going to him anymore. What kind of service is that? I've gone to him for years and this is what i get. Soneone pass me a gun.!!!!!!!! I'm gonna go postal!!
So in conclusion, London Honda can kiss my ***, and RPP Motorsports can kiss my ***!!!!!!!!!! **** those *******!!!!!!!! In the *** with a big *****. I'll put it in so far, that i'll get poo nail from it!!

Rep Power: 0 I want this resolved ASAP!! Oh, and the dealership said that they could make the bill cheaper if i just put my header and cat back to stock!! Yeah, just chuck the custom work into the garbage and make my car run 17s again. I don't think so.

Rep Power: 0 THe mechanic that did the work is licensed. In fact, he is the only guy in the area licensed to work on Porsches. He did my exhaust and the work itself is fantastic. 14 gauge stainless steel, mandrel bent. But he went cheap on the wire extensions i guess. He just gave me the cold shoulder. I knew he would be too damn busy to look at the car in the next week anyways. The car will run fine for a bit, then will choke out. I will give it gas and nothing will happen. I hope the dealer gets the wires by tommorow.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks a lot for the hookup PunkingCivic. I'm waiting to hear from the dealership. They are gonna call me back. I'm gonna ask them why they don't just order the ex wires. I know mine is aftermarket stuff, but still, it should reach. The ex's have the 02 sensors on the bottom of the car don't they? One before, and one after the cat?

Rep Power: 0 Wow, I never would have imagined that bad 02 sensor wires could cause such a problem. It makes me scared because I was planning on installing my header, high flow cat and catback exhaust myself. I'm gonna make sure the extensions are good quality.

Rep Power: 359 Make sure they have a shipping receipe from DC sports.
I have never heard of wires from them.
But, I have also never seen a cataloge from them either.
I hate when a company sells stuff an doesn't put it on their web site.

Rep Power: 0 I got my car back, finally!! But it isn't totally fixed yet. One of the wires is fixed, but the other wire hasn't come in yet. So they unpugged one of the sensors and sent a loop code to the ecu so it won't stall. The check engine light is on though. I'll drive it till the other wire comes in and then they will fix the rest.
