Its not like its ALOT of money! Compared to some of the other mods for our maxes...this is one of the cheapest! And besides...If it falls through...I'm quite sure taz would give us all a refund.

Quit your b!tching, when I bought my 04 Max in Sept of 2003, the only mod available was window tint, this was me waiting for other mods.



Now 6th Gen Mods are fairly plentiful, Taz has always come through and he will this time as well, **** happens...

i think he should do something for those who have been waiting for so long...also we are not saying that he wont come through for us cherm,but since it sounds like a few of us are still waiting he should refund all of thouse that have paid and when its ready to charge us b/c its not like if we have been waiting for a month or two

I dont know taz, nor i have i ever ordered from him. But because of this thread, it makes me think twice about ordering from him.

I understand when shiiit happens. So i hope everything is ok.

he already did. he gave us a discount for the pre-order. if you want to pay twice as much, just wait until it's out..

taz is a good guy. he's good for it.

I didn't say refund. I said discount. the price you paid already was a discounted price because it was pre-production.

I can say **from experience** Taz is a good business man. If everything went the way we all wanted it, there'd be tape deck superchargers for our cars. Obviously stuff happens, taz has recently moved from my understanding and Im sure would honor anyone's decision to drop out from the pre-order. He's not holding any money hostage - so either wait, or get your money back and chill out.

Is there any benefit to having a strut tower brace in daily driving? I used to have one on a previous car that was factory installed, so I'm not sure what it was like without it....

Discount based on what he says the price will be after production. Well, it hasn't been produced yet and the thought of "twice as much" makes me think "twice the wait" ...........

You guys are so forgiving when you wanna be. A company like Stillen or Greddy did something like this and ya'll would be demanding your money back or worse complaining the the BBB.

It's all good though. I say support you fellow .orgers.

That's why i'm forgiving atleast.

I know he's not a "Stillen". If Stillen pulled this, i'd be allll over their ***!

But I mean, it's always good to get an update. No1 has publically demanded a refund, so Im assuming we all are understanding, just anxious.

sorry guys I haven;t even been online much at all in the past 2 weeks cause of the move. Been really busy on the house and internet has been touch and go. Found out today after 3 service calls that the outside lines are all corroaded. But they are fixed now.

Anyways back to what you really want. The sample has shown up, but I have not had a chance to test fit it. between things at home and my test car ( kamilkluczewski) now working rotating shift work with the police, timing had been off a bit, but I'll have it all set up within the next couple days.

Just a reminder to those that either didn't know or forgot: Racingline is only a P/T one man show. Racingline is registered and an official business but at this time I don't have enough to offer and what I do have doesn't sell enough to warrant a f/t leap. So please be patient things are miving forward albiet slower than any of us would like.

todate there have been 4 refunds issued to those wondering. If one is requested just pm or email me. But if you request one and then later decide you want back in you will pay full price. Those that hold out will be compensated somehow. I don't know how so don't ask but probably a discount on FUTURE purchases.

I agree 100%.

for example, I ordered rear sway bar endlinks from taz, but he accidentally sent altima endlinks.. I told him, and he OVERNIGHTED the correct ones.. now keep in mind this is from Canada to US... probably cost more to ship overnight than to purchase the actual product.

he'll take care of us.. don't worry.

One of my bushings went, so he drove 1h to my house to drop off a new one. Hows that for customer service. It cost him more in gas then the darn bushing.

I think those bushings are too thin. Even with a new set, they will
eventually rip apart. Get a set of ES which are beefier.

stillen fusb

I recently purchased a stillen fusb and installed it today on my 05! The only trimming I have done was a little off the plastic (about 1/8 inch with a xacto knife) along the firewall where the bar barely touches about 8-10 inches long from the middle of the bar to the left and right. The ac line needs to be bent slightly and i bent the bracket down a hair. It was a piece of cake besides the 90 degree weather I did it in! Its a big improvement and the ride seem like the suspension is soaking up the small bumps you could feel through the body so easily. I be taking pictures soon and will get all that I described! Thanks Chernmax for all your input! Was worth every penny!

Are you a ? "FREE," there would be no point in him making them since there are so many people on the waiting list for the FSTB. You were probably being sarcastic, but still! .....................

I'm curious what this has to do with the pre-order update from taz... we know stillen has a bar. it sucks. (sorta.) will wait for taz's to come out.
