no, it was complete. Sarcastic but complete. If you want me to spell it out for you.
I was commenting in a sarcastic fashion on how your attitude is going to cost you lots of $$$ and your business will probably not do as well as it could have.
Remember, especially in this industry, word of mouth is everything.....
and people aren't saying very good things about you.

Hmm, after reading this thread I really don't know what to think. I cannot comment on your shop or business personally, so I won't. It seems to me though that every post regarding Slowboyracing is a negative one. And in my eye's, you are making it worse with your responses.

It's disappointing to see a vendor keep shooting himself in the foot. I'm not saying you have to kiss as s on here and take the blame for everything, but a little humility goes a long way in customer relations. I'm not telling you how to run your business, just offering some free advice. Like it or not, internet forums now make up a HUGE part of how people choose to spend their money.
I search every vendor's name on here before I buy anything. If I came across this thread in a search, your responses would make me spend my money elsewhere. It's not about the original poster's alleged issues, those issues could have been resolved with some humble responses on your part. Instead, you chose to be antagonistic, and that's not good.
You have to recognize how many competitors you have with the internet being available everywhere. Everyone can buy from anyone these days, you have to work a little harder to convince people to send their money to you.

People say lots of good things about me, just not on car forums - because you know they know it all, and you should believe what they say!

Look under Indiana County.
This would be a good start to getting to know me ~ the real me who would give you anything including the shirt on my back ~ but will not sit here and blow smoke up your *** to make you my friend, or make you want to buy from me. The people who will tell you what you want to here are the people you should worry about, not the guys like me who tell it how it is regardless of how it affects your feelings.

Everyone loves to hate SBR ~ it's kind of like the cool thing to do I guess, while everyone is hating we will remain here for all of our awesome loyal customers and do what we do!
Thank you,

Can you tell what kind of person I am by reading a forum post? The answer is simply no, you cannot, nor can anyone else for that matter!
I am a genteration X guy, we do things a little different than generation "why". I still prefer a conversation on the phone over email, email does very little for me, as do long walks in a forum.
If you want to get to know me ~ fill out the X games giveaway on our website and come hang out with us in LA for a few days on us, cheers!

I am not here to argue with you.
You are so unethical about everything you do. Be a man, step up and run a efficient, quality, reputable shop. Not a hack shack that you do one off kits for employees, then go and sell them to the public only to find that they are garbage.
You almost remind me of another business owner who knows absolutely nothing about the business he runs. Mark Cuban. You even have the same beard.
Good luck with your business by the way. I am sure it will just flourish with business after everyone reads this..
(oh and your salesman must think that buschur parts are from ebay, because after I told him what was on my car, he went on to say.... "I use to work there, the parts are junk and are no better than ours."

Being my garage is located in greensburg PA, and my apartment for school is located in Indiana PA, I found myself short on tools. With this in mind, I decided to see if instead of driving all the way home to do it myself, I could attempt to let a performance shop have a stab at it.
Fortunately the mechanic that was designated to my car was extremely nice.
I wanted to just have a piece cut to extend the J pipe, but instead had some rubber hoses that were over-top more rubber hoses to try and make a tighter seal(which obviously didn't work).
Not being satisfied I figured it was easier not to complain, but to do things the correct way and sell the FMIC and buy one that fits. (which in a matter of 3 days it was gone and i went back to stock)
By the way, it was WELL before I even put that FMIC on my car that sales(men) more than 1 being emphasized, were commenting on the Buschur Racing stickers on the side of my car.
(I just chuckled and said "yea yea yea" not wanting to argue in case he wanted to then over price me on some parts I was about to inquire about.)

Correct, that was I. I purchased the wrong FMIC thinking it would fit my car. I drove it on low boost for about 2 days and had absolutely no issues. After hitting some higher numbers, the lower IC pipe felt the need to relocate itself under the extreme pressure.

As far as the sticker thing, I guarantee if you brought a car with SBR stickers to BR, you would get ribbed there about it as well.
