Anyone try this kit out yet?

http://www.scioned.com/turbos.asp

 

The kit never got released--what a big fat joke if you ask me.

"September 2003"...riiiiiiiiight, it's freakin almost Feb. 2004, still no solid signs of everything.

This was one of the most talked about things back when the Scion was released...I came to the conclusion that the only thing worthwile from Spy eng was their springs--I wouldn't spend a dime on anything else they "make"...or "plan to release".

 

come on Jason, spy has good stuff

 

Almost 6 months later and no turbo kit

 

true, they are laggin but, they make the bombest springs

 

I hear alot of good things about their springs but I'm going with full coilovers.

 

Last time i called them, whoever answered the phone said they aren't releasing it anymore.


But they do have good products.... well i guess springs. and customer service is the $hit as well.

 

SPY is a good company, and they make a lot of great stuff for the scions.

I mean really, how many people would have actually bought the turbo anyway...it's smart of them not to release it.

 

I would have brought one if it was any good. The first forced induction piece that comes out. Whether it's a super charger or turbo will have a home on my xB the day it's available. I have $3500 waiting :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

I would have to agree with Drew

 

I agree that SPY is a great company and their springs rock but to offer a product and then not sell it anymore for the fact that they assume it wouldn't sell is pretty lame.

At least have the common courtesy to take it off their website or never have brought it up in the first place.

Hey let's show everyone the tC and then assume no one's going to buy it and then retract it and leave pictures of it on Scion.com so all can see but not have.

 

Sorry, everyone. It's not Spy's fault, It's mine!!! Please, at least if you are going to bag on someone, make it the right person. I am the one that is making it. The ones that know me, know that I've built some sick stuff. IE; Turbo MRS, 6-Speed (the only one of it's kind), 0-100-0 in 15 seconds. I had a lot of problems last year, lots. Everyone talking smack, I'm just a little guy. If it was the easiest thing to do, then why don't these big companies with lots, and lots of money, and have nothing better to do than to build stuff, have one done yet? It's not that simple. JDMxB, what have you built from scatch lately? Ok, so I was a little optismistic about it, sorry. I had many other problems other than this. Going to Japan in September didn't help either. It will get done, it's just taking a little longer than expected. Sorry, if I have fustrated any of you. If, you hang in there I will get it. We are not in it to defraud people. We like to go fast, just like the rest of you. We have not taken anyone's money, because we don't have anything to sell, unlike some other companies.

For those of you that don't know, I was the first person to Lower a XB, or Scion for that matter. That was Scion #2 sold in CA. I have probably lowered more Scions than anyone else?

Spy, sorry for all the heat you got for this. I will do my best to get it done ASAP. Having to move my shop isn't helping anything.

V, thanks for backing me up.

Peace, everyone. I'm not trying to get into a ____ing match by any means with anyone. Just get a little ____ed off when the ____ talking starts.

any idea when it will be released teddy? i'll be ready to buy it. this car needs something to give it a little boost, i can' t even beat jeeps right now. freakin jeep burned out and took off on me and i was struggling to keep up.

 

How is it possible for this guy to come on the site right now? Right as people start talking ____ about the product he shows up. Did somebody call and say people were making fun of him?

Whatever. If you want a supercharger, go and buy it, they're out already. This is the closest to a turbo kit that a scion has ever gotten here so it doesn't really matter if it is done or not. We know that the guy tried and if he puts something out there that can compete with the big companies (who have a s/c) then it will just give us more choices to boost our rides. When it's done, it's done and hopefully it'll be as crazy as his other stuff

 

Hey look what's going on--everyone against JDMxB day or what?

I said it loud and clear in my first post--they make great springs--why do you think that I'm riding on them?

And teddy--what have I made from scratch lately? Well what I can tell you is, I never made anything that I advertised for sale in the near future. You are the Mr. Big wig that did everything first on Scions--why are you pinning anything on me bro?

Look, bottom line is you guys advertised TWO freakin different kits a long ___ time ago. I really wanted to pick one or the other up like 3 weeks after I bought the car, as V can attest to. Is it my fault that someone didn't put it all together when it was advertised to be done, back in September?

And please "well people wouldn't have bought it anyway"...what kinda arguement is that?! How would you know--they didn't even release the kit that was supposed to be out in Sept, let alone their "Stage 2 kit" in Dec.

Seriously--it's just lame that that thing is still up there, and noone is doing anything about informing us people who inquire about it.

LOOK--it took someone to make a post about the kit in order for someone to come out of the woodwork and explain everything...Why didn't you say it maybe a month after your ETA or so? Oh, let me guess--well if people don't wonder, you don't care, right?

Just goes to show you what it takes sometimes...without this guys post, would you have posted anything about the kit Teddy??? Hmmm...you haven't for the last 4 months--I don't think you would have.

SPY makes great springs...what else do they make?

 

Yes, someone did call. At least I have some friends. Just want the ____ talking to be directed to the right people. I didn't like the fact that everyone is talking ____ about Spy, when it isn't their falult. If that is a bad thing, then sorry.

Sorry, I don't know who you are, "showpaojoe" Don't think I met you at the early on TSW meets? When there were only 10 Scions.

Everyone can pick what they want. If they want to buy my kit whenever it gets done, then so be it.

 

It's just that it should show on the website that it's delayed because it makes SPY look bad that they show that a product should have been released in SEPT. when the can do a pretty simple edit and change it to "DELAYED....Sorry for the Inconvenience."

I think of it as beneficial criticism and if you don't look at it that way then oh well.....guess I'll just be made out to be the a$$hole then.
:?

And seriously it wasn't meant as knock or ____ talk to either SPY or especially to you Teddy.

BTW it's good to see that you are alive.

 

____ Mark--I'll take all the _______ finger pointing for you--you know why?

I'd rather be an _______ then stand around and let all this BS "I scratch your back and you scratch mine ok?" stuff that goes down within the whole scion community...honestly, it's been there from day 1 and I thought it would eventually go away, but obviously it hasn't. And if you don't think I have--I was the one along with Nacy and Eric M to throw the first freakin Scion meet for the people up in Industry. That meet had 3 or 4 heads TOTAL...And I called VP to come down and be a part of it.

I'm so sick of this ____.

There is a group out here that cares nothing but backing each other up and could give a damn about what's 'right' and doing things for others--not just themselves. You need to check yourselves.

 

No, it's not pick on JDMxB day for me. It struck a nerve. And, NO I'm not Mr Big Wig by any means. Anyone that knows me, knows that is the furthest thing from the truth. I'm just the little guy, no one specaial.

I'm pinning something on you because you seem to think it's no big deal to make something from scratch? Just want to see what you have done, that's all. I will have the release date changed, to TBA. No, it's not your fault that I didn't get it done, it's mine. I will talk with Spy and see if we can resolve this. Sorry for all the fustrations that I have caused everyone. Just wanted the finger pointing pointed to the right person since it's all bad, that's all.

No, I had many things far more important to deal with than this. It had to take a back seat. I've been getting ____ for about a month. No, I care. If I didn't care why would I wasteing my time defending inocent people? Yes, I should have had Spy update their site. Yes, it's MY fault!!!

Sooner or later, since a lot of the early TSW guys were bugging me. Well, think what you want. I need to take care of my business. Yes, it's been 4 months since a post. Big deal, I've been very busy.

Mark, as far as who would buy one? There are lots of people. JDMxB, as far as wanting a kit, I believe you. V has been one of the people that bug me the most about it. You should ask him what kind of person I am.

Reality is ____ happens. Spy and Maverik are both good companies. Quit knocking them because something didn't get released when it was suppose to. That's how manufacturing goes.

How come noone has said TRD and Toyota is a bad company because they haven't released their supercharger? What do you hear from them? SOON, COUPLE MONTHS, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Lets take a poll....

Who right now would buy one? or
Are you just looking for a kick down? or
Are you just here to talk smack?

There are S/C's out there, Nitrous, blah blah blah. Go get it if you want it SOOO bad.

So Spy advertises it, maybe it's a typo, maybe it's suppose to say september 2004. :D
