TRD3000GT Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Dude, Titan sell some parts that really help with wheel hop. You might want to give them a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I would not touch Suprastore (Titan Motorsports) with a 10ft pole! This is personal experience and hundreds of others' opinions that you dont have to search much for on the US Supra forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that they sell parts for drag / race use that helps eliminate wheel hop. I guess warning someone against one of the shittiest US Supra parts stores qualifies me of being "a tosser"? Yea, I loved ordering parts through Titan over the phone. Me> "You guys stock the SAFC-II"? TitanCS> "Yes, they are ready for delivery" *I place order along with a couple Gs worth of other items* Partial Shipment arrives at my Florida address. I phone them up and they tell me they are out of stock on half my order and its on backorder. Over the course of the next month, parts slowly trickle to the doorstep in Florida. Me>"Where is that SAFCII you told me was ready to ship?" TitanCS>"Sorry its on backorder, but we can ship immediately the SAFC-I" Me>"Uh.. gee... no thanks" Nearly 3 MONTHS later, my AFCII shows up on my door in London. There are hundreds of customers with similar and much worse cases. Some people waiting for half a year of delivery of parts that were paid up front, etc. So, call me a tosser but I am looking out for the members of the BBS to pray they dont have to go through what I did. If Titan claims they have it, I can nearly guaruntee Dusty@ MVP will stock it. My 2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I loved ordering parts through Titan over the phone. I was not calling you a tosser. I was merely stating that whenever Some one trys to show someone some parts that are available there are always people who say. Stay away from them etc etc. I have no problems with MVP or Titan really. I know most here dont trust titan or Supra Store But Titan are the only people that supply the parts I just linked in to show you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making sure I had the right person, tell Garret Im going to knock him around the car park next time I see him. I know Paul Kent who is good friends with Garret, and he has done some polishing for me, very good quality as well, although we was trying to get him some work through a certain trader on here...... I have heard loads about this Porsche, and yes his type R is quite nippy, I think on the gas is was making same times as a stock TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren j adams Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I will tell garrett but his hobby is kick boxing,he can stand in front of you and put his foot on shoulder with ease. No worries im sure he will be please people are getting to know him. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
