This thread is getting way off-track, so I might as well....

RAIZIN:
I don't usually get myself in the middle of arguments like this, but this time, I feel that I have to.

>Simply because when I called for advice way back when they
>wouldn't give it to me because I wasn't their customer...

First, the questions was "detonation" and not "Why/Why you don't like HRC". I understand that you may have a reason to be pissed off (however trivial it seems to me), but it's quite off topic. You wanna get pissed of at a vendor? Take it up with them.

You want my definition of "bad" vendor? Try first PAYING for parts AND donating your stock parts, and *still* waiting SEVEN months for them to arrive. That's what I would call a crappy vendor. I am not saying the vendor's name, 'coz I don't wish to start another war. I just stated that to show the difference.

Actually, thinkning back, a certain vendor even once told me to "sell my JE Pistons and Crower Rods because they are crap"!!! Then they refused to help me, because I hadn't "bought the parts from them" and they couldn't "guarantee them". Brand new JE & Crower parts no less.. And All I wanted was a ported head FROM THEM! This was their ploy to make me also buy their pitsons and rods!

In my opinion, Bill is doing us a favour by actually even WASTING his time to read this board, let alone reply. Take a look in the main channel and see how many "To BILL/HRC" questions there are.

Also unfortunately we all didn't get "Free stainless tubular manifolds", maybe because we aren't as fortunate as you to be in a popular crew like 935Draggers.

I understand that you may know a cosiderable amount about our cars, so please, make an example and give *constructive* advice!

----

Nobody "sponsors" me. So I hope I can be less biased when I say these things:

I bought my turbo kit from Hahn Racecraft (HRC) for SEVERAL reasons.

One of the reasons was the fact that HRC actually cared enough about our cars to do something about it. And they did it professionally, with an *extremely* informative website, as compared to the "competition".

HRC is also a well-known 4G63 DSM vendor. Practically NO other DSM vendor even considers our cars worth looking at 'coz they are so "single-track" minded. He took a great risk for us. Granted it's a business and he must make some money to survive (just like the rest of us) and he obviously isn't becoming a millionaire from selling 420A turbo kits.

Also, the fact that the 11sec RS even existed, helped ALOT when I was considering a turbo kit - and yes it exists, I have seen it all, in Stage V trim, and even its funny seat covers :-) ) HRC actually RACES our cars, they don't just sit back and produce turbo kits.

Now, just because, Bill actually checks this board and posts to it (which by itself was a huge surprise for me) doesn't mean that you can sit and insult him 'coz you don't like his company. I honestly don't see any other kit designers on this board actually answering *any* technical questions at all.



Oh, and in case any of you are wondering, I did this out of my own free will.
