not yet, I'm generally unavailable during SF's business hours, so I'm just getting Eddie to request the missing parts from them. the missing parts and miscolored piping and such aren't really an issue with me, but the fact that they kept lying about the shipping date and then it arriving unannounced at my door WITHOUT any signature confirmation (wouldn't you want to have someone sign for a $3000 item?) just pisses me off.

well going through my kit i found a few paint over spray on the pipes. The turbo has a rattling sound inside it. The pipes were the right color but have afew scratches on it and one of the ends of the pipe is dented up. There are a few parts missing. All in all for thw wait and the cash im seriously thinking about a refund and having SF pay to ship this back.

The drama never ends. My kit was significantly better than Zach's (reddragon333), but the ports on my manifold are not very good, and as stated, I'm missing parts. I am giving SF one last chance to fix their mistake, because my kit is better than utter crap.

Wow, that red kit in the pics is horrible. Besides all the dents, the manifold is total crap. Somebody needs to take welding class again. I would not be happy with that quality at all. I understand that this is all fabricated stuff, but this is just stupid.

Man, I just read all the posts on this thread and that some *ucked up ****.
I have been gone for a while from the board, last time I left SF was all high and mighty, everybody was waiting on these kits to go out in production, good word was going around for SF. I return few months later and find this!
Good thing I didn't order one, because I do not have patiance to deal with such BS and if I payed 3 g's for it and didnt get it, or got it fucced up, rest assure I would take 3 days off from work, get on a plane with the kit and go to SF door steps. Man, that some BS taking 3'gs from people and playing around like that.
Thats why you pay 3-4 g's to the Greddy or one of those known name companys but at least you know you're gonna get the FULL kit and wont have to go to AutoZone 20 times to get all the missing parts. And I dont understand the ones that got the kit and then went on to buy missing parts??? Why, you just dumped 3'gs for FULL KIT. Why should you pay for any missing parts ?
SF had all the time to promote their kit, they were available for any phone calls, especially when they were takin peoples money. Now when they have to deliver, oh shiet nobody is around, kits are delayed or if they are shipped, they are shipped half fucced up.
Sorry that ya'll had to go thru such BS man.

btw.........i was missing parts and i called them up and they overnited them, so they were good about that. But i am still waiting on my RFL bov

If I could get through to them, that'd be great. Eddie, Zach and I gave them many "last chances", and so far, they've blown it. I'm most likely sending this back for a refund soon. We'll see.

looks like ill be getting my cash back. I talked to Eddie and he talked to SF, SF sent my kit out KNOWING that it was ****. Mike even told Eddie he knew my kit was ****. Eddie asked why he sent it out and they said because they were in a hurry. He wanted me to make a list of the parts and they would remake them. I told him i was done with SF and im working on a full refund as we speak

SF manifolds are "guarenteed" to never crack. Comes with a 3 year "warantee"

Maybe 1 out of 15 posts are updates on the delivery of kits. It's getting out of hand again. Are there only two people left to get theirs? Either leave it to updates or I'll just close it....
