GTM MHI Kit Group Buy Participants...

Yeah I dunno that I'd trust an unproven in-house manufactured BPV or SC. I'm very happy that they used Turbosmart and Rotrex for my kit. Folks, as much as people

Folks, as much as people are unhappy with this situation, please don't dogpile for the hell of it. GTM's customer service is absolutely horrid and they may or may not be in financial trouble but that doesn't mean that everyone should jump on the "GTM PUTS OUT A SHITTY PRODUCT" bandwagon ...because they haven't and don't. Forums tend to demonize/dogpile very quickly - just look at the guy who accused Sam of doing the same thing on the 350z.com forums *in this very thread* and it ruined his business..

Sure, there have been a few failures here and there but I'm sure you could find just as many component failures with Stillen or Greddy if you wanted to.

I think that GTM's products isn't exactly shitty. I think it is the fact that GTM takes forever to fix defects or problems with the kits. This is the only thing that makes it shitty.

When I bought my BP kit, one of the pipes were welded the wrong angle and Sasha sent a new one within a week. I didn't even have to send the old pipe back.

Ok and when I got a poorly machined bracket from GTM, they sent me a new one within a week (although Sam did try to blame the shop).

Like I said, their customer relations are awful but everyone has component issues. Don't crap on the product just because the owner acts like a jerk.

End result is the same.

*Edit: I'm not defending their attitude or the fact that they've taken people's money with no real delivery schedule in sight. I'm only saying that what they've produced has been good stuff (at least in my experience).

You sound like your actually defending GTM and their shenanigans...Very interesting.. As far as the owner acting like a jerk, that owner is the entire company and if he is a jerk or a con artist the entire company is worthless. Do you have any understanding of the games Sam has played with people over the past 10 years? You're one of the persons who got his product for whatever reason and is happy with it, that's great. But that does nothing for the others who have been taken advantage of and lied to by Sam.
