as i said before. his nuts must be made of crack. :D

but in all seriousness. lets all just lay off of travis. if he wants to continue to do business with kenny, then thats his call. i dont think anyone argues with travis as much as i do (with the exeption of mabey dyltone). after all this bickering with him, i have learned one thing. he will NEVER change his opinions about kenny. so let me be the first to tell travis, i wish you the best of luck in your future indevors with kenny. and i hope that you and your gf eventually get both your cars how you want them. as far as people geting screwed over by kenny/zpi/turbochargers.com, or who ever. the info on these people is right out in front of you. so from here on out if you get taken by these people, then its really your own fault.

theres on old saying...

...screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me.

I gotta agree Travis, your taking this as everyone is taking personal shots at you when thats not the case. People have been getting screwed over by ZPI from the beginning and everytime it came to the surface you and a select few were always there to try and save the reputation.
Going to have to disagree there. When someone came on and had a legitamite complaint (key word is legit), I would help them in getting the situation resolved. Saving reputation or whatever you want to call it, I was just trying to help. "Screwing people over", you are going to have to define that. "Screwing over" in say ScionSpeed sorta way, is not even close to the complaints when it came to ZPI. Complaints for ZPI was always along the lines of "I'm tired of waiting for X".

That may or may not be true, but I am not the only person to have good service. I'm just the most "Out There", with my slew of videos.

But you see, here in lies the problem. Why can they still not get what they recieved? Just because Kenny isn't there anymore? Those with pending orders are the ones that have to figure out "who is running the show". The vocal one (Brad) who was very active till just now (being no post made, and sorta just quit talking), never answered me.

You know this how? Because of what you read on SL. SimplyScion, I know you are smarter than that. This Rabbit Hole Goes......WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY.....deeper than what you are reading from people who are passing along information.

They have sold over 400+ Stage 0's alone. Surely you don't think 400 people have driven to have a Stage 0 installed. Your observation only holds true on SL. As the ones that are vocal on here, just happen to have visited the shop, instead of regular internet purchase.

Its time to start broadening your Scion aftermarket company relationships and start referring them elsewhere as there seems to be no future for "ZPIRacing". I dont think theres much else to say at this point, but may this be a lesson learned for a lot of people

The lesson I have learned is that in order to maintain nueturality, one needs to go custom, so he/she is not scrutinized for having a good experience.


PS....My son just took the biggest DUMP in his diaper... I'll holla back you guys later. Perhaps Monday, maybe some new developments will arise by them.

So where do we stand as of now? There are 8 pages on this topic and i am not sure who needs to be contacted and who owns the darn place. I am so far out $120 - there are people out $5k each so there is some major coin floating around that needs to get fixed.

If theres a thousand people who bash on one company because that company ripped them off or stole their money and one person who had a good experience with them, why in the world would i take a chance and buy from them?

I haven't known Kenny and his crew for very long, but I just got excellent service from them on Friday. They put in my emanage and wideband and then tuned the car. Runs great! From what he told me, Kenny gave Danny plenty of chances to sell the business to him for a large sum of money and he refuses. All of your cash that was not routed to turbochargers.com is in Danny's checking account somewhere so Kenny can't help you. Anyone that was charged by turbochargers.com should get your parts just like I did, but I would bet it'll take a while as Kenny's shop is in shambles.... Not hating on the new digs, Kenny! As for Kenny's personal life and his legal dispute with whoever, I don't care, I made new friends and now have a place to buy car parts and get good work done.

good luck with your choice. if things go bad, please do not come on here whining about kenny, because it will have been your own fault.

...also why would danny want to sell a company that was aparently making money hand over fist?

I'll try to remember that if they screw me over, are all of your posts that hostile(telling me what I can say on this forum)? As for ZPI being profitable, I don't think anything is apparent at this moment in time. Only thing we can do is wait and see what pans out in court.

i dont recall telling you what you can or cant say. i simply asked nicely. and i definetly wasnt hostile about it. i hope your not getting defensive, because im not trying to atack you. all im saying is, dont expect much sympathy from people on this forum should things go south. after everything thats come out the last few days, you should just keep a very close eye on any work you get done there. i wish you nothing bu luck and hope you dont wind up like alot of other people on this forum.

...Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, b1tch, you knew I was a snake."

Thanks for the well wishing. I appreciate it. Not getting defensive, I'm pretty new, or atleast I never really posted much so it's weird to have someone reply in such a manner. So far I haven't had any major problems with the kit or ZPI, besides the usual slow shipping. Kenny should be back in KY by now, so again, good luck to all that have cars, money, and dreams of going fast in a scion at risk.

Thanks

Hell I think they actually had a dealing hand in getting the AEM F/IC even created to what it is today. Thats just to name a few things that you won't find "Walmart" doing. I don't recall ZPI doing that. From what I've read here on the boards, Dezod and Turbo Toyos has had better luck with their kits quality and reliability wise. Again, this is just my opinion of things in my eyes, I could care less if you want to flame by what I said I really like your ride though rhythmn, you know that man

You have an opinion. I respect that. I just have a different view that's all.
ZPI sucks

That's the truth, not opinion, u see that NOW

Your car is slow, u see that NOW

That's the truth, not opinion by the way.
Where do you come off calling ANYONE's car slow... I've gone faster on my bike than you will ever go in a vehicle, I will be able to skip gears in my tC and beat your girlfriends car by bus lengths but I don't call your car SLOW.
