Exclamation New Website info

Yep, we know our current website is outdated. So we've been working on a new one. Here is a link to the new site. Feel free to offer any suggestions or comments.

The pages are just in beta form for now. So please disregard pricing, technical content and other inconsequential details View strictly for design purposes. Also, some links aren't directed properly so you may end up running around in circles if you get too curious. The menu items on the left hand side just link to the current website which is boring.

About all that is functional right now is the EVO portion of the website (which includes ECU reflash and stage package upgrade info). So just click on that and ignore the WRX and Porsche section for now. Hope to have the whole thing done, functional and officially online sometime next week. It's also got info about the new Cannonball reflash

Have a good weekend,
shiv

Shiv. . . just a note.

Under the EVO xede section, it says “off-the-self." Im assuming it should say "off-the-shelf."

Punch VERY HARD by reputation.

I used to be a Stage 1, y0.
Now I'm a like an uber top secret v380 disguised as a v360+race gas+test pipe-cat+XEDE-Xflash+XEDEflash+custom tuning.

Shiv,
When are you going to finish days 6, 7 & 8 of the One Lap diary??? I'm sure you have nothing better to do with your time but it has been a great read thus far and I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of the installment.

Also, what fuel pump are you shipping with the new kits, walbro 255's or a denso old school pump?

Site looks good, one thing consumers might like to see would be a more detailed installation write up section (exhausts, cam gears, cams) and maybe even a little animated gif on the proper technique to getting the boost wire out of the factory ECU connector.

Not sure how much bandwidth you have but some MPEG's of customer car's running some 1/4 times (smog, EZ, et al) and some vids of the one-lap shop car (the 4 wheel drift come to mind) might appeal to those "visual" learners...just a thought, I know if you asked for it you could probably get customers to provide most of the above pretty easily.

Keep Brett working the phones (not sure if David is there yet) and make sure you get back to everyone that calls and leaves a message - I'd say customer service would be the one thing hurting your business the most right now. Product support is great with the Xede and Xflashes but it's just really difficult to get ahold of someone. A new or potential customer is easily swayed to give their business to someone else who answers the phone the first time and fills their mind full of garbage (a couple vendors spring to mind).

Hope the input was useful.

Yeah

You probably lose a few customers with the phone thing; however, good things come to those who wait. Most of us know that Brett, Ken et. al. are busting their a$$'s trying to keep up.

Brett - are the test pipes in and sent?

Oh yeah - Shiv, it looks great - what am I missing to escape the v390 blues?

hmm. . . does the 390 already include the race gas and test pipe?


I wonder if its the difference between having both the Xede and the Flash, versus only having the Xede

I would think so.....these names look like they are refering to the max flywheel horse power that can be obtained from each stage..
Just a guess cause #'s seem to tally

Shiv,

Any reason why you are holding out the Xede until the later packages? Was it due to installation difficulties from customers or do you want it to just be your ace in the bag?

My $0.02:
Looks good - I personally prefer the Stage 0 to 2 etc methodology of packages rather than the v330 etc

Also the options don't include the turboback exhaust section, just dumpback.
