OK, we are up to 3:

Name - Destination - Options - Scheduled Delivery Date

1. Canadian2K1si - Texas - Candy red kit, all upgrades - No Idea, Not even a tracking number!

2. Dragoon - Texas - Gold kit, Equal length and upgraded turbo - UPS has shown billing info received for a week!

3. RedDragon333 - Texas - Rally Red, equal length and upgraded turbo only - Possibly Friday.

So what is it about the Texas ones?

You guys should try to get ahold of sfpower or catalyst on spyderchat.com. They post on a regular basis over there. They just came out with the turbo kit for the toyota spyder and have been introducing it to the spyderchat comunity. here's the links:

so they have had time to design a new kit for another car but not to fill their orders. thats probably why are kits took so long. they just keep making new kits and let the orders keep piling up and keep taking the money

Let's all sign up for accounts at spyderchat.com and make sf's business there unwanted business. Let's tell all of those MR2 spyder guys the truth about sf's practices.

just keep trying finaly i think mike picked up today. honistly they are so nice when you actualy can talk to them and actualy tell you whats going on with your kit but its just trying to get ahold of them

on a side note i dont think its cool to spam other boards with this kind of stuff. one person is enuff to warn but a bunch is just not cool.

good, now no one say another word over there about sf again and let them find out first hand what sf is about. and book mark that page that person said it on and 5 months after their group buy, go back and rub that **** in their face.

btw, am i the only one who wonders why both catalyst and sfpower post their promoting to bring in more money but NEVER post here anymore when we are already PAYING customers!?

Now we know what they've been spending their time on. I cannot imagine how it feels to know that they are working on that stuff when your kit is sitting on the floor of their shop. I also feel bad for those spyder guys since they have no idea what they are getting into.

I really wish they would just get your kits out, correct parts, and in good shape. Then we can lay this whole thing to rest and put it behind us.


Again, please try and keep this for updates. Editing the thread got REAL old so if it gets bad, it'll get locked. At this point.....

i love how they can find time to post there but can't post here for some reason or another

What a bunch of *******s, this is starting to **** me off now and they don't owe me anything. Soon they'll get a bunch of people to buy kits on that spyder forum and leave there shortly after and move onto the next....they're like locusts, really ****ing sad

I have been reading this post and plan on getting a turbo at the end of the year at the latest. I am seriously considering going with the turbo discounters one and just replacing the tubing that looks like dryer vent hose. I hope everything works out for you guys.
