I have seen the contracts and you can pretty much buy the parts for the same price by yourself. Ask them how much for the HKS turbo kit, then check out how much you can buy it for. BIGG time scam. This is on all the boards ie. honda-tech.com is one that comes to mind.

 

yeah sport compact pro can lick my *******, and you can tell their head guy or whoever he was that I talked to on the phone about giving me my 88$ back from a while back, they told me NO! even though i didnt even wait a day to tell them nevermind to refund my CC. They wouldnt do it. Crock of $hit!, they just took my 88$ and sent me some stickers and some paper that I AM NOT filling out. Tell them Ronnie said they can LICK my STINKSTAR!

 

hey they refunded me my money, without a problem too, but i didn't ask for them to charge me, they got my info somehow and charged me for it.

 

Congrats....now you just need them to sponsor 100%

 

yeah well those guys were ****** when i asked them to credit me back the day after they took my 88$, they told me no they couldnt and wouldnt do that, and if I called my CC company that i wouldnt win.

 

what are the normal ways then of getting sponsored?

 

damn dude if i could remember the guys name that i dealt with i would have you call him, he was very helpful, good guy, really nice and didn't hassle me at all. I had already also filed a claim with my bank so that helped, so thats what i suggest you do to is file a claim and you will get your money back easily.

 

So you pay them to sponsor you then buy parts from them hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Someone should sticky this!

 

yuuup big time scam, even if you get that 55% sponsorship, you're still paying retail price so they make money off you. Search every car forum you can, and you'll see similar "sponsorship" scams. Hope you didn't pay the guy.

if i recall or remember correctly, i spoke to the head dude , i wanna say it was Dan or Dave or something, he was a complete asshat about the whole thing so we just argued about me getting my money back, but yeah, I never did.

 

yah now its startin to sound shady...although they told me if they can not beat the price i can get."wholesale" b/c i work at a garage.....they will still pay 55%, now lets see if they are legit about that....i doubt it, but we'll see. I have two friends with the same sponsorship....we all refer to it as the "priceclub" sponsorship. meaning we pay to get in and we save a couple $$ here and there.

 

have fun man...i just took the loss, and am not signing shi7. I just threw the whole package of stickers and stuff in the garbage, I mean who charges 150$ if you end your sponsorship early? WTF? that was even in that contract garbage they sent for me to sign.. YEAH RIGHT.

 

shows, racing, autox, drag.... if you accel/stand out. they want you. you have to make them want you not you want them. Once they see you're good at it, they will have no problem giving you money... eg. ( street glow ) the driver on the solara was a privatere... but once street glow got him, now hes famous, can't remember his name tho...

 

( cant remember his name though)
thanks
