    Envy vs MVP

    Ordered an AEM B/C, AEM Uego AFR guage, and a HKS FCD from MVP. Ordered these at about 7 this evening, recieved an email from Dusty with my FedEX tracking number about an hour ago The parts are already enroute!

    hi

    - higher frequency of engine oil + filter changes - the stock wheels are larger making tyres more expensive - traction can be an issue causing premature tyre wear to the heavier footed of drivers - fuel consumption isnt so great - as mentioned, if you have an issue with a turbo, i.e a seal goes etc. Can be expensive to rectify - if the car is still running the stock intercooler, this will more than likely need replacing, did mine recently and the stock cooler pretty much fell apart in my hands! - in general, more to go wrong I just believe that a car with a turbo, is more like to cost more to maintain than an n/a. I guess if you had an n/a, and a TT, both stock cars, both with FSH, it'd be a different story - then again, maybe im talking sh*te

    hi

    Best advice to anyone looking to buy a Supra, would be to do alot of research. As many have been abused and can be upto 17 years old they can have their problems, and will need to have parts replaced. They're not cheap to maintain, tax, fuel or insure which can put alot of people off. I'd suggest making a decision on whether you want a TT or an N/A; in my eyes, the two are worlds apart in repect to performance and maintenance costs Search the forum throughly and make an informed decision, and try not to let your heart take over when you go to see one Happy hunting

    Another for Whifbitz.. I think Paul is also another very helpful guy, and he runs a very efficient business. There are only 3 people I would be happy to hand my hard earned over to: Dusty at MVP, Paul Whiffin, and Steve Manley

    AMENDED: Hi Gaz, I have tried contacting you through every Envy contact available but have had no joy I placed an order on your website on the 4th, since then I have constantly tried to contact you via: Phone, text, email (3 envy addresses), PM on MKIVSUPRA.NET - but I have had no reply. I check the status of my order online everyday, but it just reads "waiting to be processed" which indicates to me that nothing is moving Due to lack of correspondence, despite making effort the help this order on its way; I am assuming that these parts will not be with me anytime soon, if ever at all. Please disregard my order many thanks Andy
  10. This has just started for me, lead and collar methinks!

    Just dropped him a message on facebook; "Hi Gaz, I have tried contacting you through every Envy contact available but have had no joy I placed an order on your website on the 4th, since then I have constantly tried to contact you via: Phone, text, email (3 envy addresses), PM on MKIVSUPRA.NET - but I have had no reply. I check the status of my order online everyday, but it just reads "waiting to be processed" which indicates to me that nothing is moving I believe you are out of the country on business at the moment, but I would really appreciate it if you could drop me a line to let me know what is happening with these parts. If i'm not going to receive them for some reason, please reply simply with a "no", then I can proceed to source them elsewhere The order number is 2499, I look forward to hearing from you Andy"

    Envy vs MVP

    Hmmm, starting to sound like a bit of a loose cannon! I have since been informed that he may be the owner of an online poker website; i'm guessing he doesnt have enough fingers for all these pies

    Maybe he has gone all the way to Vegas to collect my AEM?

    Envy vs MVP

    I guess I have ordered from Gaz then, seeing as I ordered from the Envy website All I can do really is wait patiently, and keep an eye on my bank account; dont really like being kept in the dark, especially when its my own money in question.... I have exhausted every contact available for Envy, no joy Watch this space

    Cannot bar any payments that may be taken from Envy, and I cant find out id their still in business or not - pretty pissed off at the minute Im guessing if I cant get in touch with anyone, that there is noone there! I'm not up for waiting for forever and a day; think I'll get the bits off from Dusty, and claim my money back from Envy if the parts do arrive. If they are still in business, their customer service is f**king shite

    Envy vs MVP

    They have my card details, but no money has been taken...yet Would it be worthwhile barring any money from being taken by them?

    Oh great! Stuck in a situation now. I cant get hold of Envy so I dont know if any progress has been, or will be made I may well just order the parts from MVP, but i'll have to have a good read of Envy's return policy just incase the parts do arrive

    Does anyone know what the score is with Envy?? I ordered a few bit from them on the 4th; AEM B/C, Walbro fuel pump, HKS FCD. Since ordering I have sent them emails, text messages, left voicemails, sent a PM to Gaz, but cannot get hold of anyone. I dont know what the status of my order of, whether I will be waiting for a another week or a month. At the same time I ordered a few bits from MVP; these were ordered on the 4th, and I recieved them on 9th. I also recieved correspondence from them all the way, and was able to contact Dusty (who is the most helpful guy in the world) via email. I expected these to take at least two weeks, seeing as they were coming from Texas Are Envy still operating, has anyone ordered/received any parts from them recently? I wish I had have ordered the lot from MVP

  24. I intend on keeping mine forever; I wanted to change to a vvti 6 speed so I toyed with the idea of seeling last year and did actually advertise... for about 2 days. Cant bring myself to sell my current Supra, the last 2 1/2 years have been turbulent but I have put in too much effort to ever sell I'd like to completely restore my Supra, and retire her in a nice heated workshop
