Big 3 performance's Idea to eff me over

[big3sucksmynuts]

So after 3 years in the making I have enought loot to get the Intercooler pipes done. I was going to take it to the one shop that had said they would do it for the last year but always been "Tooo busy". Turns out he raised his rates quite a bit. So my friend tells me about another shop that is an ESTABLISHED domestic shop, but looking to get in to the import scene. They said they would do it cheapers AND use aluminum piping instead of mild steel which is what the other shop uses.
I take it in and tell them to do the pipes and mount my boost sensor (Its a threaded sensor) so i tell them its a 1/4 NPT tap and I'm on my way. Well I got the car back. And I'm soo happy to be done with it that I didn't have the sense to be skeptical of their work. DOH! I asked " Hey why didn't you mount my boost sensor?" He tells me "Oh it was a funny tap size." I laughed and said gee i didn't think I'd see the day a 1/4 NPT tap was a Weird size. But whatever." Then he tells me, "Yeah its like this intercooler was made for this car, the bracket welded on there almost bolted right up. " I laughed and said " No this is off a my friends talon." He asked me if iI was sure. I laughed and told him yeah i took it off myself. Then I looked and saw that there were 6 or 7 Black rubber (house plumbing looking) hose couplers. I thought to myself "Boy thats funny he told me the was going to cut all the turns in 2 inch sections and weld them all on the inside. So i drive it home and one pipe keeps blowing off. Any ways here's how it turned out.

Here's my site its like the last 3 or 4 pictures:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/443306/3

Well heres whats wrong. As you can see one pipe is too short, and cocked at a funny angle thats why it blows off. Another reason is, he didn't use T-band clamps. Then I looked where he mounted IC and as you can see the bottom of it is mounted with an INCH of it exposed. I mean COME ON! Then I realize he just bought a bunch of pre-made pipes and cut to size. Parts cost 385 dollars. (ASS****ED).

I end up calling them the day after i have it back telling them I'm dis-satisfied. I tell him that i want T-band clamps and that a pipe is too short. He tells me he'll fix the short pipe, but that regular hose clamps hold till 18PSI.
I then told him that i wanted the Intercooler lowered to an acceptable level. He told me that was fine too, and that we could TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN!!!! At this point i was kinda fed up so I laughed at him and told him I expected all of this to be free. Because i just dropped 800 bucks I feel kinda of short changed.

Here's my next dealing with them.

Alright well on top of my battery aparently not charging and me not being able to get my car to the shop, they were indeed gay about fixing their crappy setup.

The conversation went something like this,

"Hey, my car just broke down so i won't be able to make it in today."

"Umm Okay well just bring it in anytime 9-6 and we'll fix that pipe for you."

"Can we talk about the intercooler now or do I have to wait to bring my car into you?"

"We can talk about it."

"Well, I need you to fix my intercooler by lowering it to an acceptable level because where its placed right now is just rediculous."

"I'm not gonna to be able to fix it for free. If you think about the time spent cutting and welding the bracket and the holes for the intercooler, I just can't do that for free."

"By no means should you do that for free you're right. Thats why I paid you 800 dollars."

"I showed you everything and you seemed to think it was ok, and you drove it home, So there's not much i can do about that."

"Say, where did you get those hose couplers from?"

"Our supplier."

"Would your supplier be.......HOME DEPOT by any chance? Because I found the same 2 inch coulpers with the same brand name there."

"I can't tell you that"

"Umm, why the hell not?"

"Its bad business, if I tell you that you can go around us and get it yourself."

"I ALREADY CAN ITS HOME DEPOT! Do you know that when that house plumbing hose **** heats up that it turns soft (thanks to you guys) and won't hold on to the pipe. Thats probably another reason the pipe you made was too short and keeps blowing off. "

"Well, we'll have to talk about this when you bring the car in."

"Ok fine, bye."


I want to strangulate them all........
I know its partially my fault for not wanting to be a dickface at first and telling their **** sucked but he told me that he used some "heavy duty hose couplers, not that silicone ****". So at first I believed taht he wasn't lying.


And at the end of it all they refused to fix their work. On top of that insulted me and tried to play me off as some ricer *** that didn't know what he was talking about.
He told me when he fixed the pipe, that they kept blowing off because my car was popping. I said well yeah its either A) POPPING because the pipe is falling off, or B) The turbos are heating up the intake charge so much from the **** mount of the intercooler that its detonating.

Then tries to tell me my BOV's don't work. Which was odd to me because they were working fine the day before.

They also melted part of my wire harness AND installed my bumper incorectly.

So this year I will be entering EVERY car show as it is to show off their QUALITY work, so just look for the BIG 3 stickers fellas.

I just bought the same couplers from Home Depot for my new sump pump in my basement, funny though, I used T-Band clamps.......

Haha thanks.......My official goal in life at this point is to ruin their business, not through slander, but just straight proof.

[Irish]

the guy that you dealt with,what did he look like?

[big3sucksmynuts]

Name was Forest. He was shorter, had short brown hair, skinny, sucked a lot, and was down with trying to **** me over.

[Irish]

i have met that guy before at Oscar's. He introduced himself to me and started going off at the mouth about what he is capable of building. 5 min. later two of my friends, who opinions I trust (i'm not from around here), asked me if I knew him, I said no I just met him. They informed me of Big3 and the BS they try to pull. Next time that tool walks up to me I am going to have to tell him what I think of his craftsmanship! Oh yeah when I was at the Dyno at power tour when Mark(smokdu) dynoed he walked up to me and tried to bullsh*t me about this 600+ hp vette that he built???? Whatever. The guy is a total :loser

[Lash]

Bwahahahahahaha! This is awesome!


:thumbsup


Sorry to hear that you got screwed. This isn't the first time Big3 has been brought up.

[theavenger333]

you going to file complaints? if so, BBB, and the state commerce, BBB won't do too much, but the commerce will

I think the most damaging is what he is doing, ie.. going around showing/telling everyone what they did. Word-of-mouth is most damaging.

[SLOWC5]

god knows my garage is more capable of becoming a performance shopp than, their hole in the wall. They built the slowest grandprix out there... Forest never have met but a Fing moron from the stories I here. I here he works on cars for 20 hours at a time at night. I bet ne ever gets tired and messing anything up :thumbsup :rolf

I remember him asking me if I knew anybody with a maronish GTP. He said the owner didn't bring it in....but the guy "building" it did.....right away it clicked! :D

Thats all I'm gonna say. :banana

[97z2801ss]

Met him seems like a nice dood, hes building Pauls (transams) motor... guess we'll see his craftsmanship there..Brian and Ken n them have met him too... hes up at oscars alot.... I dont kno the work he does maybe he just not good with them import things... cooper u ever getchure battery?

[Teufelhunden]

Sounds like you got Ferncoed www.fernco.com Yeah those won't hold at all. 18 psi my ass. You paid with cash?

Who sent you there again? WOW, $800 for aluminium IC pipes. :wooo

And Pauls gonna trust these guys with his TA :confused :confused

[sidewayzbimmer]

Ok now why is everyone so quickly to jump on this guys side? I talk to Forest often and he told me about this story last night. He said the customer brought his car in for piping on the intercooler and he asked the customer if it was the correct spot for him when he showed it to him and the customer said yes so he went forth and did it. As far as parts thats another story that i dont know of. He did build a 600 some hp vette for another customer and gave that customer a 2 year warranty also. If you can warranty a a motor like that i would trust the guy totally! There are two sides to every story so i would suggest that everyone listen to both sides before jumping on the bandwagon. :flipoff2:

what year Vette? where can i find it?(shows/cruises/racing)

[theavenger333]

that and many others have had bad experiences with Big3. myself included, and the WOW show was a joke.

[Flight_740]

Wonder how it will really turn out if and when the vette decides to blow up. :rolleyes:

[sidewayzbimmer]

I can get more info on the vette i called him and he is at work and didnt answer so i am assuming he will be calling me back. we'll see what happens when all is done.

[WilliamZ]

Ok now why is everyone so quickly to jump on this guys side?


Uh many reasons.. I haven't met this guy myself but from what he is going around telling people I know he's a ******* tool.. Those pipes on the RX-7 better be made of Titanium for $800.. Garden hose clamps and Home Depot couplers?!? Bwhahahahaha

[BAD LS1]

There is no jumping to conclusions... the pictures are proof positive of what the owner is describing of the problems, they are very obvious to my self even, a non turbo car owner.

So we have both sides of the story... the car tells whos telling the truth, End of story.

[BAD LS1]

Wonder how it will really turn out if and when the vette decides to blow up. :rolleyes:

Its a tail light warranty, as soon as you dont see the tailights anymore, warranty has expired.

Not like the guy is a huge corporation that has a written warranty policy approved by lawyers, so the two year warranty thing is about as good as how far the owner of the vette can throw the kid.

[Junky Giorgio]

should've just bought a pre-made "STAINLESS" intercooler piping kit from a reputable company...betcha you wouldn't have paid more than $600 tops for nice piping! :thumbsup
sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident...

[big3sucksmynuts]

? I talk to Forest often and he told me about this story last night. He said the customer brought his car in for piping on the intercooler and he asked the customer if it was the correct spot for him when he showed it to him and the customer said yes so he went forth and did it.
Bryan

I admitted that in my story. I did say I was Ok for fear of being an effing **** bag because i'm generally a nice guy and it was late they wanted me to get the car out of their shop.
I called him at 12 the next day explaining that I was unhappy.

- What he explained what he was going to do, it sounded great. The finished product, not so great. I sent him pictures of how i wanted the pipes to look. By my poor judgement, I ASSUMED he knew what he was doing. Turns out he has no clue about rotaries, and tries to BS his way out of stuff. Aparently he has no clue that rotaries run in the range of 400 degrees hotter than piston engines.


ALSO REGARDLESS of IF or IF NOT I said this job was ok at first, Do you find the products used acceptable for your car? I didn't think so.

Bimmer, I think I've been pretty fair in presenting all the info.

As they say, A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS :thumbsup

Yeah still would have been $800. Atleast i wouldn't have been this pissed off though you're right.

I can poop in a vette and make 600 horse. If I told you I was going to pay you 10,000 dollars because i thought you were cool, would you trust me?


BAD--- I agree, its definately a tail light warranty. I wasn't offered a warranty, apparently once my car left the shop, I couldn't argue anything.

PS apparently its my engies fault for blowing intercooler pipes off....


......HOME DEPOT..... :banana

[Lash]

Should have went this route....only a little cheaper :thumbsup


It probably would have turned out better if you did it yourself...

HA they dont call it home cheapo speed shop for nothing :goof

Yeah sounds like the guy is good at the trade of "baffling you with bullsh!t", you know the ones that have some far out answer for any question you throw at them so they make u think they have a clue.

Im sorry about your mishap man, im kinda in the trade of helping people with modding cars, i dont do it professionally or offer a warranty, but if something goes wrong i make sure i make time to look at it again for them and not charge them anything for my time if it was something that i overlooked or messed up, **** happens and people usually are understanding.

Just using that as an example of how it should have been handled for you, not treated like it wasnt their problem.

JEFF I met you up at oscars once, talked to ya for a couple minutes and thought to myself pretty cool guy and a bad ass car you have also. If I never had met ya and heard stories about you would I think your a moron? Of course not. So why all the name calling when you dont even know the guy. Im not trying to start any s##t with ya, But there is two sides to every story and I heard em both. I saw pics of the car and heard other options that Big 3 sugested to this guy. As far as their shop goes I was there today and was very impressed, Its definitly not a hole in the wall shop.One other thing why dont you turn your garage into a performance shop and see if you can do better? If you can :thumbsup to ya Peace

Brian he's a tool trust me buddy. If you want to hang with him that's cool it's a free country. I don't know everything about cars...... I know enough to get me by especially when it comes to oil pumps.... :rolf . However, I do know when someone is bullsh*ting me......90% of the time. How about everyone involved meet up at Oscars and talk about it around people that actually know what they are doing......unlike Gump!

[big3sucksmynuts]

What are you talking about, they just built an integra, and from what i saw most of them drive moded imports.
Just for the record, what they did to my car had absolutely nothing to do with where my car was made. They were just IC pipes.

[big3sucksmynuts]

I saw pics of the car and heard other options that Big 3 sugested to this guy. As far as their shop goes I was there today and was very impressed, Its definitly not a hole in the wall shop.

I would LOVE to hear what they told you my options were. please do tell.

The ones I heard were,
1) Yes we'll fix the pipe that blows off. We'll put a straight piece in instead of a bend so that your HOME DEPOT plumbing connector is bent at an angle it shouldn't.
- Which IS what they did.

2) We'll get you T- band clamps, but only after you argue with us, then bring the car in and we realize that you were right. No matter how hard you tighten down your regular hose clamps they wont work. In fact, we'll try tightening them soo much that we'll end up bending the aluminum.
_ They offered to do this is well

3) We'll leave the HOME DEPOT couplers on because we got them from our "SUPPLIER" to whom we can not disclose any information about because its HOME DEPOT and they'd get mad at us.

4) Oh of course we'll lower your intercooler! After......you pay us more money for the T bracket that we made. But berfore we'll do this you need to buy a new bumper because it "doesn't fit". Funny, thats not what you said the first time pal.




Did i ever mention that they put my bumper skin on wrong too? and didn't connet my turn signals?(Well maybe that was just because he melted one of my connectors.)

One of the guys there drives a1976 Datsun 280Z soon to be an LS1 swap,Forest drives a pos stripped neon with a cam and slicks,another guy drives a Cadilac STS, The other guy drives a 2003 Silverado.

Jake is good ****, he's helped me out a couple of times before. He wanted $800 with stainless steel.
I wanted to go with aluminum for its heat transfer capabilities. Since my engine runs hot enough as is. He told me it would be more expensive then 800. That didn't make me happy in the pants. It was only until I went back to him After this gay situation that he told me why he doesn't like using aluminum.

Also I've had scheduling/money conflicts with Top street for the past year and a half. Either I have the money and he's busy, or I don't have the money and he's not busy.

Top Street really is the only local quality turbo shop in the milwaukee area that will stand behind their work as far as I've seen. :headbang

[big3sucksmynuts]

what about beeyond?
I thought they were pretty honda oriented, I have no experiences with them so I can't say anything about them.

[STKMACH]

I would LOVE to hear what they told you my options were. please do tell.

The ones I heard were,
1) Yes we'll fix the pipe that blows off. We'll put a straight piece in instead of a bend so that your HOME DEPOT plumbing connector is bent at an angle it shouldn't.
- Which IS what they did.

2) We'll get you T- band clamps, but only after you argue with us, then bring the car in and we realize that you were right. No matter how hard you tighten down your regular hose clamps they wont work. In fact, we'll try tightening them soo much that we'll end up bending the aluminum.
_ They offered to do this is well

3) We'll leave the HOME DEPOT couplers on because we got them from our "SUPPLIER" to whom we can not disclose any information about because its HOME DEPOT and they'd get mad at us.

4) Oh of course we'll lower your intercooler! After......you pay us more money for the T bracket that we made. But berfore we'll do this you need to buy a new bumper because it "doesn't fit". Funny, thats not what you said the first time pal.




Did i ever mention that they put my bumper skin on wrong too? and didn't connet my turn signals?(Well maybe that was just because he melted one of my connectors.) I talked to Forest today I asked him about the couplers he said thats what came with the kit and said he offered you T Band clamps to replace the worm clamps, As far as the bumper they had to remove the bumper support so ths I/C would fit so I was told by the shop and that voids warranty. And IMHO the bumper cover would not fit properly w/o it. Maybe im wrong. As far as the I/C location diddent they move it around to see where ya wanted it mounted and if you were unhappy w/ the location why did you drive it away unsatisfied. Also a nice air dam under the car would give you better air flow or maybe you have one ?? Good luck I would call them Hell I will even meet you out there im sure something can be worked out it would be nice to hear both sides of the situation in person.

Not sure if you saying another shop screwed up my car, but if you are. No shop has touched my car.
..................Besides the one on the title.




Thats what I said. Ok, and I was not implying that any other shop screwed up your car.

[STKMACH]

STK MACH = DR. PHIL :rolf :goofLMAO Hope to see ya out this weekend Peace

[big3sucksmynuts]

What kit? Home Depot Racing kit?

(sorry just had to say).


he offered you T Band clamps to replace the worm clamps

Yes I said that, only after I argued with him and brought the car in and he saw it himself.


As far as the bumper they had to remove the bumper support so ths I/C would fit so I was told by the shop and that voids warranty.

What warranty?


And IMHO the bumper cover would not fit properly w/o it. Maybe im wrong. As far as the I/C location diddent they move it around to see where ya wanted it mounted and if you were unhappy w/ the location why did you drive it away unsatisfied. Also a nice air dam under the car would give you better air flow or maybe you have one ??

The bumper fit properly when I first brought the car there. Yes the bumper was on then, loosely and I did not have the styrofoam pieces in so the would not affect fitament. I drove away because they stayed late to have me get my car off their property because i live in sheboygan so it takes a while to drive down. I was also misinformed about the product and because I didn't know what to say at that point. I did call them the next day explaining my situation.

I have a nice air damn on the bottom of my car. If I don't, it overheats even in stock form.


Good luck I would call them Hell I will even meet you out there im sure something can be worked out it would be nice to hear both sides of the situation in person.

I have called on numerous occasions with the same answers.

If you don't mind me asking what are you to them?

[Poncho]

have you guys (@ least you w-body guys) forgotten about all the crap we've been hearing about them directly from wicgp/clubgp members?

alot of wrongs, and apparantlly Tim's car is a freak right? From what I've heard from everyone, alot of BS and they're W-bodies don't live up to all the hype.

This is the email/ website i sent them on how and where to mount the IC

This site shows how some guy installed a front mount with no bumper.
The engine isn't the same as what i have, but i figured the shots of
the front would help you route it easier. Picture P1010023 shows the
finished mount. It looks like he pulled out the brake ducting. I would
prefer to have it in, but if need be, you can pull that out. The site
is:

I'd gladly put my name and experience on the line against any big3 LS1 car. I'm sure Tom and other LS1 guys wouldn't might watching.... :thumbsup

Their Grand prix was autobodied by another excellent place( so they cant take the credit for that)

The performance stuff done to that car is completely wrong.

I guess when this "performance shop" can beat the time of my old 02 GTP, or even Tim's GTP ( which I've spent quite a bit of time working on and helping him tune) then I'll care. But it sounds like forest is the only guy at this place working on the cars. the WOW show where they had their "built" grand prix at was a joke to all the people that saw it. Whoever was there was spoutting out unseem remarks about idiotic things done to the car.


STKMACH,

Your intitled to your opinion. I've had quite a few cars in my garage as it is. at least a dozen, Maybe I will start a performance shop where the right work gets done on the right cars... Anyone interested in starting a domestic performance shop?? Pm me

There you have it. You are biased by your friendship with this tool. If you are so confident in this guy's automotive abilities, then by all means, have him do work on your car. Then you can come and regale us all with tales of your racing exploits and the local cars you've embarrassed. Until then, you are just a shill for a bunch of hacks that easily impressed you with some shiny stuff laying around their shop. :loser

Since I know Forrest, I dont even know the guy who had the work done and I was willing to mediate and as I said before hear both sides of the story in person plain and simple and not be biased by any means. I dont want to see Forrests rep to be bashed and see a unhappy customer thats it and thats all.

Name was Forest. He was shorter, had short brown hair, skinny, sucked a lot, and was down with trying to **** me over.

No ******* way your kidding me right ?

Forest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that little ****er, he's a prick and knows **** about cars. My buddy hung around with him for a month till he couldnt stand him and didnt talk to him again.

Forest was at a party I was at and he was getting lippy and **** cuz of some dumb ****, dudes a complete moron.

He was trying to tell us ( like 10 neon freaks ) that he built a neon that he pushed 48 psi of boost with :loser :loser :loser :loser :loser :loser

I mean wtf why would you BS that much, 48 psi or maybe it was more I gotta ask my buddys again about the number but it was somthing retarted about it.

1st off man you read my other post on hirevwi.com so you know my thoughts on you spending $800 for someone just to put it on :chair: :goof

Thinking about it. I tried calling yesterday but their answering service was up. GAY! but if they don't want to be cooperative this time, You guys will see me this weekend on highway passing out flyers with pictures of all my **** and the price of it. Advertising the **** work these guys do. Like I said, I'm fed up with all the bull ****. If i don't get something in return for this I'm going Ape ****. I will run that business into the ground. I will TOW my mother effing car to every car show this year so an ever bigger audience can see it. I hope that they don't think that because its $800 I'll give up. I will spend DOUBLE or even TRIPLE that to advertise against them. I'm not playing ******* games anymore.

see i wanted to call everyone out, but i guess not i'm being called out already, i wont be able to run slicks or drags on my car. sadly my rear end would probably go if i did. i just got a 10 bolt :( so dont expect anything of its potential. Once i get enough money i'll be puttin in a new one but like i said anyone is free to look at it, and maybe if i trust u enough drive it

[big3sucksmynuts]

Well as it sits now, I finally got to talk to Tony at BIG 3. He told me that he knew nothing of this whole situation. That it was my fault that I didn't contact him. I feel that since both other employees were involved with this that I did a sufficient job of contacting his company. He said that he is willing to meet with me next wednesday. We'll see how it flies from there. He said he was willing to get me T-bolt clamps and Silicon couplers, but won't lower the intercooler.

I'm still upset over the melted turn signal connector, the 7 or 8 couplers they used instead of welding, and how far I've had to take this in order to get a response.

I've also been accused of slander aswell. Not to happy about that. I don't see how this thread is slander seeing as how I only provided the facts.

One thing I love about the internet...... Its not admisable as evidence. No proof that Cooper(my supposed self) is writing this. I've delt with this kind of **** before.

I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm getting a response is that I involved all these forums.
To make a correction I ONLY paid 725 dollars, still close enough to too much for me.

[awsomeears]

So I had the meeting with Big 3 and its employees today and after two hours we came to an understanding and agreement that satisfies both parties. There were several misunderstandings between myself and the employees of Big 3 which led to the problems that I had. They have agreed to refund my money for the couplers that they used and also to repair my harness and lower my intercooler all to a level that I am satisfied with. After speaking with Tony and the president of the company, they were willing to help me with my problems graciously inorder to make both parties happy. I appologize for the previous comments that I have stated in these posts.
