GTM MHI Kit Group Buy Participants...

COSMO · 03-11-2014, 01:19 PM

Well you guys are going to love this. I just called gtm and told them who I was and the guy on the phone would not even tell me his name but instead try to find someone to help me. After a few minutes on hold the guy who answered the phone came back on and told me no one was there to help. Knowing he knew who I was and after explaining how my exhaust manifolds have cracked he told me he had to go because he could not spend anymore time on the phone. Again to any and all looking to purchase anything from company better be paying close attention to what things will be like after the transaction on done. I now have a TT kit in which I going to have to spend even more money to another company to hopefully fix.

The way that you have interpreted and twisted my past comments to suit your arguement and fit your opinion only adds to my feeling that I am correct and that this situation has been blown out of proportion.

Only time will tell who was correct. In the end I may be the one who was wrong. However, unlike some others, I am willing to wait until the show reaches its conclusion before doing my review. I wont be standing up half way through and telling everyone else that they should leave.

Time was over months ago, wheres the kit?

I assume you were talking to Pablo, how you were treating like this? Pablo is the best out there right now after Mike left. This is not a good sign

There was another member who visited GTM as well, I can't remember his forum handle at the moment however.

Just to clarify, I still am in the group buy, fully paid. I have not asked GTM or anyone there for a refund yet. When I left the facility, I told Matt I would just keep in touch every couple weeks to see how the progress is. Like I said, I am still very much in the market for a TT kit, and my decisions are now based on availability and quality of a kit. And yes, I do agree my information does not get anyone any closer to their kit. It was more of just what my experience and opinions were.

If someone had to ask me if I've been naive throughout this whole process? I think I have been a bit. The logical side of me should have pulled out months ago. I think I enjoy holding onto my faith and hope. Sounds stupid, I know. But I've given myself enough room to do so, as well as financial protection. I still have those daydreams once in a while where my car is finally done, all turbo'd and such. I want GTM to succeed. I want all companies who want to develop parts for any car to succeed.

And no offense taken guys.

Cosmo I'm pretty sure your pissed because they spent an hour talking to Alstann but couldn't talk to you for 5 minutes... Proof is in the pudding I guess.

Alstann · 03-11-2014, 02:47 PM

I know I'm good lookin'...what can I say?

COSMO · 03-11-2014, 06:16 PM

I can just see the black-list sitting next to the new guy answering the phone at gtm labeled: Do Not Answer Numbers From These People and the long list of happy customers keeps growing by the day... lol

Dzel · 03-11-2014, 06:23 PM

The install issues have happened in the past also where no one could get a hold of GTM

man this thread really went from good to **** huh? lol. I really do hope this turns positive for everyone involved, but I'm not sure about it at this point... Im just glad my $6200 check cleared, and I'm out of it. My stress level went from 100 to almost 0 overnight.

09nismo498 · 03-11-2014, 09:07 PM

btw just to clarify for some people... I am almost 100% positive these manifolds are cracking due to heat stress, and NOT the weight of the turbo. I'm also not sure that these "new" manifolds will be any better in the long run... Just throwing that out there

Hi, the cracked manifolds that you have, are they from the original GTM twin turbo kit a while back ? The kit that you have to relocate the steering gear rack and also remove the front crash bar ?

I got the idea. But cracked exhaust manifolds is a very serious issue and it unknown what has been done to the new exhaust manifold design in order to alleviate this issue. Does anyone else run into this cracked manifold problem besides 09nismo ?

It definitely is a very serious issue, amongst many others.. Anyone who would still do business with this company after all this is just insane.. IMO of course.

Glad to hear everything turned out ok for you 09. Peace of mind is very nice. No price on that.
