This is definately encouraging, this should settle some of the complaints people have had recently. Good to see your business growing, especially in this slowing economy.

Hello board members!

Thank you for the posts! I was browsing the forum, noticed the replies to Brandon's post, and figured I would check in.

I'm very excited to come aboard and I know that - with some help - Code Three Performance has a lot of potential. Brandon has unfortunately been overwhelmed these past months as it's very hard to balance all aspects of a business, especially when trying to focus on cutting-edge, functional product development. Luckily, I'm here to fix that.

I have been very involved in the automotive world for many years and it's truly my passion. I have established a successful advertising/design firm but have stepped aside from that because I know where my true interests are. Brandon and I have known each other for over 5 years and he's a very honest, smart person and I'd love to see his company succeed, which is why I'm giving him a hand.

Please always feel free to email or PM me with any questions you may have - I'm here to help. I look forward to a fun relationship on the board. After all, isn't that what it's all about?

Sincerely,

Aaron

1. The idler right before the supercharger. Brandon promised a new one months ago and stated it increased boost and helped with belt wrap??? . Is it true and is it available. I want one NOW!!!

2. Front brake rotors, available yet? If not, when????

3. New HE, when available (with the new core???)

I too want to know the answer to these questions!! I think a lot of people (or maybe just me) have different questions about Code3 products and I think it would help both us and Code3 if you gave a little more info and detail about each product

spearco core HE's are in production I believe for the C32's and E55... I have a test unit on my E55..

I can only provide info on the HE's for now.

The design has improved and added more rows.

Tuning !! at today's slow economy prices.

I rather pay $400 bucks for a Tuning for 30RWHP than $1000 for 45RWHP.

Can we have tuning available without sending the ECU to a programmer!

How possible??? There's no way, short of wireless, to do this or plugging into the OBD port, which takes longer and can be more difficult??? Everyone and their mother is offering tuning for MBs and other cars now. The trick is getting it done right. Mine from LET is about as near perfect as you can get (for MY C32 anyway). It allowed me to really open up the performance in conjunction with the Code III pulley and intake.

Still, short of doing it through the OBD port, how are you going to retune an ECU???

Thank you for the posts everyone!

We'll be releasing a few new products soon but unfortunately I have to keep my mouth shut as to what exactly will be released. I will be sure to update everyone when the time comes.

If you have questions the best thing to do is email me directly at Aaron@code3performance.com and I'll take care of you. Sometimes keeping track of threads and PM's is overwhelming and email is much easier.

Thanks!

-Aaron

Aaron, the products I asked about were NOT new and Brandon and I spoke on the phone about them. Please give all of us an idea as to the idler pulley (availability and cost) as well as the new HE and the rotors. Thats all I am asking for??? Remember, repeat customers (i.e. ME!!) are your best customers!!!

I'm speaking to Brandon right now about the products.

The middle/idler pulley is in production and I will have a release date with pricing soon. Regarding the HE, we're awaiting our custom-made Spearco cores and will have units available in around 2 weeks. Also, pertaining to the rotors, Brandon said we'll have an update soon. I will be sure to keep everyone posted.

Regards,

Aaron

Thank you for posting! I'm sure I will be busy but it's truly something I enjoy

On a side note, I was in your neck of the woods about 2 years ago and loved it! We have some family friends there who showed us around. I can't wait to return

Problem, its hard to do on newer cars with "immobilizer." Yes, its is done, just not as good as doing it through the ECU direct, like I had done with LET. Ask Jerry, he can tell you why its not preferable through the OBD port.
