Financing makes me nervous for FI. It's certainly awesome that FI is working to provide options for people, but if people can't afford the kit in the first place, they shouldn't finance it. Seems to leave FI holding a lot of risk.

Imagine if the motor blows before they finished paying it off???

Through financing FI will get there money from whomever as soon as you sign that dotted line. The person financing is the one taking the risk. Say you purchase something at the price of 10k. If you have no interest at all and set up a 36 month contract your looking at a monthly bill of $277. Personally I plan on putting more than half down and maybe financing the rest. Leave me some leg room for the install and tuning. Then again I might wait till I can pay it off in full and not have to worry about another bill.

I think they should allow payments made towards the FI kit. Less messy. Then once all paid in full, send out the kit.

That is called layaway, which they do offer.
I can imagine the finance might be through F.I. but you might have to meet certain requirements to do so to help cover the company.

financing a TT kit is like getting a loan so you can gamble in vegas.

(not exactly, but close)

I think it should be a minimum of half down to finance that way they recoup the bulk of their investment immediately.

id guess a third party would be handling the loan. so that FI isnt stuck holding the bag when you stop paying the loan.

its like spending 10k on a credit card. they dont come take all the stuff back, your just left with horrible credit. same thing here most likely.

Lol, looks like you haven't been to Vegas much
It's called a "marker" granted you have to be pre approved like a SOB, but there are loans to lose your money in Vegas, lol

no, i dont go often..

I'm messing brother, I actually got a hell of a laugh from your post because it's awesome to me that Vegas gives you money to lose
(Btw, I don't go often either, and god knows I don't have enough money or credit to get a marker from any casino)


Back on topic: Yay for financing? I'm sure this is something Tony is still working out, and if everything works out, it's pretty legit

I am very interested on what the APR is going to be. And who is doing the financing cause I was dumb and young at one point and damn near ruined my credit. 10 years later after 10k and a lawyer and almsot tripling my credit score to almost perfect there are some things I still can't get accepted.

Your correct but if they start losing money "the creditors" or fighting to get their money from a small operation it may be an option that does not last long.

I just hope people are still smart about it, because bad things can happen with FI (forced induction). I do not think F.I has motor rebuilds to finance as well.

Just guessing since it's going to be product that will lose its value rather quickly after being installed, I'm going to say around 14-15%. That's just a guess. I expect it to be high to try to gain back the cost of the devalue of the kit but trying to repo a kit would be near impossible.

Taking a loan to put a turbo kit onto a car most people r still trying to pay off that loses value very quickly and that also doesn't include many other items you will need to make it as safe as possible??

I hope people have their priorities straight!

Everyone, lets please not turn this into a debate on whether it is a smart decision to finance our TT kit. We are doing our best to bring this option to the table not to get people into debt, or extend them beyond their means, instead we are trying to open up the FI doorway to a lot more enthusiasts. We want to make this available to the community to help keep more money in your pocket for unforeseeable circumstances, etc, while letting you live the dream of boosting your Z!

On my way to work I was making blow off valve noises all the way! Lmao

I think you looked past what we were saying. We were more worried for you.....and I was just pointing out to people that its great to have easy access to FI but dont forget about reserve funds in case something goes wrong.

Please do not take it the wrong way. If I was not already FI I would be getting this kit, I love it!

I think its a great thing that FI is looking into financing...and possibly risky for them as well. But, I seriously doubt they'll offer something like this without some serious consideration :)

I suspect there are two types that would likely go down the financing route.
1) The person who decided they want to go FI, and given the time could fairly easily save up for it. Those will be the great customers that have no problem at all. They could likely pursue financing on their own as well.

2) The person who decides they want to go FI and frankly doesn't have the means of really going through with it. One would HOPE most of those would either not have the credit, or heed Tony's advice when they approach him.

I fully expect Tony and his team would be upfront and honest in FULLY advising someone of all the expenses they are getting into. It's in both parties' best interest to go in with "eyes wide open", and I've never had any experience with F.I. that would lead me to believe they would advise anyone differently.

But hey, in the end there's a great new kit on the market; and maybe an easier way to get into it if Tony & team work something out around financing.

Either way, it's win-win for the Z34 crowd. :driving:

Great job Tony, I've always wanted a Twin Turbo Charged system. Very affordable too. This will be on my wish list along with other items. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thank you, Tony

It was great as always talking with you Tony,you answer all my questions and gave me a lot more info on the kit. Again thanks and much respect :tiphat:

I thought there would be way more people signed up for this.... Sure was at the beginning of this thread....

Price was a lot higher than people were expecting. Everyone always expects things to be cheaper, haha.

:wtf2: < Price >

We are currently working with 4-5 people who are seriously interested. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you, Tony

Good luck tony! I hope to see one of these kits in south Florida!

Thank you for your support. Soon enough you will!

Thanks, Tony

:tup:

You get what you pay for. I think the price is definitely fair for a kit with such a nice design and a stand-up shop and owner to back it.

cycy89,

Thank you for the order. It has been a pleasure speaking with you and we are proud to have you on the list with our other two customers.

Tony

People are shifting money around to get this kit.....I'm not saying I'm one of them or anything :rolleyes:.....:driving:

Exactly. I just put my girlfriend on the street corner and told her to get to work.

You kiss her after her shift is over??? :icon14:

I have some questions... My curiosity is just wondering at what point do you start feeling this turbo's power? Is it immediately after take off? at 60mph, 80mph? Any particular gear this turbo system shows off most of it's umph!? Does this turbo increase the cars 0-60 time significantly or mildly? Is there any sudden drop off of power after a certain mph? If so? What mph?

I know the 0-60 doesn't matter considering the amazing quarter mile time. I also want to stress this is not a troll question trying to find negatives. I'm very impressed with this kit and you guys have been one of the most honest vendors in the game. But i'm just curious for the hell of being curious... Thanks. :tiphat:

I can't speak to most of your questions because I don't own the kit, but I can point out that they are going to be difficult to answer based on the way they are posed. Keeping in mind that you can probably be in 4 different gears at the various speeds you mention, the car will likely feel very different in each gear. Check the dynos for an idea of boost/torque/power onset at various RPMs as that will give you an idea of responsiveness and available power at different speeds.
