Honestly though, I think I'd be pretty ****ed off too if I paid $4000+ for a kit. That's a lot of dough no matter how you look at it.

 

It only gets better from here.........Digital cable aint got nothing on this thread.....

Dixit

 

I want a NEW turbo shipped to me.

ALL of the other problems I will let go.

 

and I am true to my word...

here is the FIRST post about ALL of this.. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ighlight=turbo






no need to read any further than MY very first post.. and hal's first post also look at the edited date....

that should tell the entire story.

 

If Hal tried to delete this and Kev brought this back up, it should tell all the Cali Hal worshippers something !

 

just face it hal,your work , your business is all crap. we all know it, all the scams and sh*tty service u pulled off here.
i have seen custom maximas, and this other kids turbo 10x's better then yours. and only done once.
try that crap in NYC and you wont last.
o yea, talking about that. Kyu's car, man did u eva F-UP his ride.

 

What were the issues on his? Because I talked to him two nights ago and he didnt mention anything to me, but then again we were all wrapped up in my problems.

Dixit

 

Either way, I hope you get the car back together and try getting the exhaust redone so that it doesn't hang underneath the car like before. That's can't be good for everyday driving.

There's really no more reason to go further with Hal. What goes around, comes around.

Plus people need to stop riding his strap because he has a fast car. Groupies!!!!!

 

There are faster ones.......

 

Well I completely rebuilt the kit and finished two days ago and have been driving this joker for the past two days with the big brake kit I installed as well. Drives nice. Feels stronger, boosts quicker than before cause of the ceramic coating keeping the heat in the pipe.

The exhaust will get redone after the 5spd goes in next month. No point in messing with the exhaust now. And since I got the chop saw and all the goodies to do it, Im going to do the exhaust myself.

as far as defending hals turbo kit i can't defend it. proof is there but to some people it gets old hearing about it. its sad that it has come to this and hal either at some point refused to help or no longer wanted to help i don't know. its not the first time i seen work like this and it won't be the last. check my previous post to what the real options are. besides persuing this in court and keeping your **** out of jail.

as far as defending his kit naw. bringing to the point that everyone started jumping on hals back for a simple disclaimer thrown into the video clip. which ended up escalating into another flame hal's turbo kit. it gets old. kind of like the all the 3rd vs 4th gen threads that use to pop up in all the defferent forms that got old as well at a certain point its all been said already. and its time to move on.............


Edit: I edited out the first portion of your post, Frank.

 

Hal has come out and said 'What do you want me to do to help?' Why anyone except Hal, Dixit and Kirk is saying anything is beyond me. Kirk and Dixit said what Hal could do to help and now it is up to Hal to reply. Everyone else needs to shut the f.u.c.k up. Thanks.

 

The Donkey has spoken!

 

Hahaha, You are the weakest link, Buh Bye......

 

I can't believe I am just hearing about all this now....

 

Im surprised that you are, its been around a few times in the past 6months.

Just not with these type of pictures because I didnt rip apart the kit like I did just now and totally rebuild it. Before we took only shots of what we could only see, not what was hidden under splash gaurds.

Dixit

 

Man I am in Athens...I kinda wanna see whats going on firsthand...

 

Dont know how far you are from Canton GA Exit 16 off I-575 but thats where I live and you welcome to come over anytime to see the stuff first hand.

Dixit

 

All this is relevant. Hal needs to reimburse Dixit and Kirk for their time and money spent...


Oh yeah, Donkey can shut it


Edit: I took out Frank's first part in his post.

 

cutlr7 it is relevent cause the original title of the thread was about racing not about how badly desighned a turbo kit is.

if hal does not wanna contribute anymore help then dixit and kirk are up the creek. only option left is through legal action which i think will not be worth it due to the fact that hal may not have much to take and i do not believe you can go after his parents. it is relevent cause work like this does exist out there. and there are very few things that can be done.

i agree hal needs to step to the plate and help out. it seems he is doing pretty good at the time but its his decision if he wants to or not.

 

..........and Hal disappears yet again.

If there was a thread that questioned MY work and ethics (especially on a $4000 transaction), I would not sleep until the situation had been resolved.

 

i was right behind baggy getting my car swapped to 5spd, and gave him a ride to his hotel does that count? really i just wanted to keep up with this thread. very interesting.

 

Well heres the latest. Hal obviously keeps saying that he is still willing to help, but he has no reponse to what he is going to do about those IC pipes that I showed in the pictures. I was talking to a mutual friend and seems like he doesnt give a damn about the situation.

So I didnt want to say this on here, but since Hal obviously doesnt give a damn, Im just going to sue him for what he owes me now. Ive got all the receipts of the repairs, cost of the parts, etc. Hal still doesnt seem to be phased by it, i guess he thinks that he has done nothing wrong. Guess we will leave it in the judge's hand to lay down the law.

Dixit

 

The problem with this thread, even if it originally was about a race and not about Hal's turbo design, is that Hal posts race videos that become part of his sales pitch. I don't know if he is doing it intentionally or unintentionally, but newbies or uninformed org members see Hal beating Camaro's, Firebirds, Cobras and what have you with his turbo'd Maxima and they want what Hal has, not realizing there are some very serious quality issues with what he is actually providing. Dixit and Kirk are doing the Maxima community a service in pointing out these issues. People need a fair warning.

 

That is what I was saying, those defending Hal are his groupies, trying to skirt the quality issues.....

 

Its sad to see a product that looked so promising for us Org members at the beginning end up with quality issue problems. There is just no comparision in the workmanship between the Stillen supercharger piping and the pictures posted of the IC piping.

 

sticky in boost forum on quality issues for hals kit.

everyone asking about his kit refer them to the sticky.

pictures speak louder than words.

done....

bags and dixit go after hal if he does not help. legally or not it does not matter.

good luck with the law suite dixit.

cultr:groupies? hehehehhe thats a good one but no. it merely the facts that no one likes to realize. falls under the sould've would've could've but what are you gonna do now.

 

Hey guys, I just spend my saturday morning reading this post, man oh man, the quality of the work on Dixit's piping is really $hit, I cant believe that someone did such a weld on a 4500$ Turbo kit, this kind of work cant be accepted, if he would have paid 50$ for the job then all I could have said is you got for what you paid for. But in this case it's not a matter of bashing about someone, it is a crappy work that's what it is. I just put myself in Dixit shoes for a second and my blood is boiling and all I hear is my Lousville slugger screaming at me " take me for a ride "

I dont know Hal myself and I'm no hatter, but I would suggest him to take care of this just for the sake of taking care of his own reputation, that kind of work will follow him for a long time, one thing for shure I would not purchase a kit from him after seing that. I have been in business for well over 15 years, and all I can say is there was an evident lack of organisation, maybe someone need to redo his homework. Everyone has the right to make a mistake and deserve a second chance but no one has the right to make others pay for it and deny it afterward.

Recognising our mistakes is a great vertu and is a good start for repairing the damage and restablishing reputation and trust.

Have a good saturday gentleman.

DoubleA

 

to get a lawyer you are going to dish out a grand at least i would think.....

wouldn't that be kinda cost inefective to sue?

 

not if you go for the principal+fees

 

Well with the "possible sale" of your car pending, I thought it would be proper to ASK AGAIN for the NEW turbo.

Considering I still have yet to hear an answer from the LAST time I asked.

Which was over a month ago, so there was enough time lasped.

 

Is it possible to get that video to work again? I guess I got in late on this thread.

 

www.hlh0501.com

 

Now it's a new year, I wonder if it will be the same **** from you hal?

Still waiting on the new turbo. You have not even tried to make ANY offer to me or dixit.

So here we are 3+ MONTHS from when you asked how you could help and we have ZERO help from you. Wish I could say I was shocked.

 

man hh you never stop impressing me. to bad your not in the ny area
because theres a couple of guys over here you can straighten out. right
now im linking up with morpheus on sun.. we gonna try and get it rolling over here and represent. i saw morph's setup and it looks tight i think he just has a few more kinks but ill find out sun. watch out here we come....

 

c max- thanks and sounds good! if morph needs any help feel free to contact me

samman- VID vs SS's
also, here is me beating up another "fully mod'd" LS1 with a "import killer" sticker..VID vs Import Killer

bags533- We have discussed this before. You are well aware I am not sending you an additional turbo. We discussed having yours rebuilt - if you want to do that and don't have their address let me know and I will get it to you. Furthermore, PM and email are more effective means of communication.

 

Man this thread is hella old....but IMO - anyone should hold their word ---- especially in this TYPE of situation.



Hal - 1 question...was bags' or bigdogs' turbo previously used before installed on their car? Or...do you not know?

 

yep its very old.

BijanGXE- Bags I am not sure, I wasn't present when the deal went down there with bags & anthony regarding the turbo. Apparently there was confusion/miscomunication over that specific one and a standard new t3/t4. Dixit's I personally ordered from turbonetics/PT - it was brand new.

I payed for 2 new turbos. One for Bags and one for Dixit. What happened with bags' and the decision on the one in the shop I will never know considering I wasn't there, and there are different stories etc. I do think I can safely speak for both of us now, in wishing the new one had been used according to plan.

 

Damnit, where is Erik?
