Kicking *** !

 

Lots of flaming here. Im not sure why. I think this post was more out of frustration with the car in general. As with any car much less a 700+hp modified monster **** breaks. Considering a make a living fixing these cars I can tell you the unmodified ones break all the time. Most of the people with the kind of money it takes to mod one of these want everything now now now. In the car world this just isnt possible. The best way to avoid this is test, test,test on every car. Most owners dont want people hotrodding around in their pride and joy either. Even then something is always screwing up. Fix one issue just to find that it wasnt the only problem but your atleast one step closer to having it right. It sounds like a low voltage problem from the video. Hell maybe you got the car so damn hot the headers started cooking the starter cable? Maybe a rat chewed on your car while it was sitting. The possibilities are endless. Just be patient if the shop is any good you'll be fixed up.

 

Not starting anything, but if you are going to quote me, at least include everything i said. For a refresher, here it is:

"has anyone noticed that Blown63 is now literally that?
PUN intended.

Nah, but seriously. GL with fixing it.
You have some serious mods. McLovin it."

Thanks

 

I am actually confused as hell. Why start a thread if you do not want to give details? I have no issues with you whatsoever and hope you get everything sorted but your thread is lacking any substance and detail and most of the people commenting on this thread have pretty much said the same thing. There are a lot of helpful people on here, me included but how do you expect anyone to do any serious trouble shooting with no details or description of symptoms?

 

Very interesting...and without anyone saying the name of the shop doing the work I bet I can guess and I only need 1 guess. Funny how dozens of shops worldwide have installed hundreds of Weistec blowers without issue but this shop has problem after problem and not just with Wesitec stuff lol.

My question to OP is why are you not throwing the shop doing the work under the bus too?? Come on bro, we know they are hacks.

Nothing more to see here, mods should just close the thread.

 

No where have I spoken bad about weistec, my first post is about what happen to me and every post after that has zero negativity towards anyone. You are the only one here taking things personal. I told you I am working/speaking with weistec and the way i see it you are the only one taking shots here and playing the blame game. Weistec had my car for 4 months and like i said installed and built everything themselves, I am not sure why you are trying to bring other people in to this other than to use them as a scapegoat. Even when considering weistec sends customers their way for weistec upgrades and installs even when there are other weistec dealers in the area

 

Who did all the modding to this car ? Weistec ? mystery shop ?

I'm confused as to who did what at what time ?

These answers might simplify things

 

"Weistec had my car for 4 months and like i said installed and built everything themselves"

OP said this in the post above BAD430

 

Speedriven did the initial install. But very shortly after that my engine and trans was set to weistec to be fully built which was over a year and a half ago.

 

read below.....maybe you can see where confusion sets in now

So Speedriven did the initial blower install . Shortly after that , you sent the car or just the engine and trans to be built ?

The way i'm reading what you are writing is that Speedriven sent the engine and trans to Weistec to be built and Weistec , after completion , sent the engine and trans back and Speedriven reinstalled the engine and trans .

Am I reading this wrong ?

 

That is correct.

 

Now call me crazy but the whole thread seemed based on the fact that Weistec had your car , did the install and completed the project . Now you are saying that Weistec did build the motor and trans but the actual installation was done by Speedriven . If this is in fact the case , shouldn't Speedriven be responsible since they are basically rebuilding your car ?

Do you see where the confusion lies in the fact that you did not give the whole story and made it seem like Weistec was the only one involved in your project until this problem came up and you towed it to Speedriven . You never mentioned that Speedriven actually did the install

Is it possible that Speedriven actually did something wrong during install ? I know that Weistec is helping you guys out during this matter , because that's the kind of people they are , but the install is where this whole problem might have been created .

I will be interested to see what the final outcome is

 

BAD430BENZ so a year and a half ago speedriven installed my stage 3 blower, shortly after that speedriven removed my engine and trans and set it to weistec. Weistec then built the engine and the trans and sent it back where then speedriven installed then engine. Again all that was about a year and a half ago.

More recently weistec had my entire car for 4 months and upon its arrival this incident occurred. I hope this clears things up.

 

The timeline makes more sense now

 

And that Mr Watson is elementary........this thread is like Sherlock Holmes....far to many smoke and mirrors.....I smell a rat

 

This is a known issue. Happened to me as well, fortunately, it happened while the dealer had it to replace the sunshade that failed, so technically it happened to them. They had to replace the entire steering column.

 

Man, I should have read the entire thread before I made my previous post..

I hate walking into firestorms...

Anyways, people being *******s aside, I want to know what the technical failures were and the fix.. I'm nerdy that way.

 

What had weistec done to your car in that 4 month?

 

I'll never get that 10 minutes back...

 

Me either... *cries*

 

Bingo....We have a winner

 

What was done to the car that they had it for 4 more months ? Sounds like the blower and motor build was already completed for about a year before your most recent problem

 

According to Blown, Weistec had the car most recently for 4 months and upon it's return this incident occurred. That would put the onus on Weistec in my opinion.

I still think there is more to this story though. I'm sure it will get straightened out, Weistec has excellent customer service.

 

Who's going to be the next...

 

Instead of reading what you want to read and spouting off at the mouth, why not read the entire post that the op placed.
Jim, from what I 'understand' of your experience with Weistec, maybe you ought to be more sympathetic with blown63....
Not everyone has the ability or the funds to place their cars on a transport trailer and send it off to Weistec every time they have an issue with their build. Not to mention Jim, if you knew the shop where Weistec authorized the work to be done on op's car, and as one of your previous posts leads us to believe that they are a subpar installer, why the hell wouldn't you open your mouth ahead of time and let op know that?
I am sure this all comes down to different categories of customers had by Weistec.
A. Individuals who basically help fund Weistec with the amount of time their vehicles spend at their shop - This time also allows for R&D time while working on those cars.
B. Customers who have work done at Weistec with no issues whatsoever
C. Customers who have work done at Weistec with some issues, but live nearby and can have all initial work and or follow up work handled by Weistec themselves.
D. Customers who have work done at a Weistec authorized installer location that do not live nearby with no issues whatsoever
E. Customers who have work done at a Weistec authorized installer location that do not live nearby and do have issues. Issues that should ultimately be handled by Weistec as no one has a better handle on their products than they do, but wait... How does Weistec know what a third party installer did when installing the Weistec products?


All of these scenarios present challenges of their own, but none more difficult to address than the last one.


OP and Weistec will get it sorted out I am sure, but when there are issues, I guarantee emotions get involved and that is ok, it happens. But as I said, I am sure they will sort it out.
