You are the man, Chino.

I'm still running my stock pully even though you-know-who gave me a free one. Ebayed it weeks ago (I'm not a gambling person)... Lost money/time and got NOTHING.

They bought their way onto Scionlife and I'll be damned if they do the same here! If they want my respect, they can earn it. NST already has. Have yet to see one person buy an NST product and not be satisfied.

Was this an attack against me or something? If so I wasent saying what I typed sarcasticly, I lurk these forums a bit and have read nothing but good about them.

And I have no idea what your getting to in your 2nd paragraph.

I have a Yaris on order - can you elaborate or point me to a relivant thread about "you-know-who" so I can understand what company and products you are refering too??

thanks!

Chino...
how can you comment on a vender's performance? you are forgetting a few simple facts:

1) you made an attempt to manufacture an intake...
2) you made time-lines (promises?) your time-line was continually "adjusted"
3) you made promises of a dyno sheet...

instead of slamming zpi, focus your energy fulfilling your promises...

btw... your attempt at making an intake was an honorable one... and no one made the claim that you "spit in the face" of YW members...if they did, they were wrong...

dispite failures, zpi has not spit in anyone's face ... get off your high horse...

I don't think comparing any board member to a company that has been around for several years is correct. But since you did it, be it directly or indirectly, I will do a comparison of my own.

1) Last time I checked Charles did not take any member's money to build this intake. He tried it on his own dime.

2) ZPI is a company that "builds" products and was paid by members here who ordered a product that should have been tested extensively prior to being released. What did these members get? Products that did not fit, despite returns and adjustments.

3) ZPI does not have any dynos for their products either. And they have no solid record of doing anything productive for YW. Last we heard was that they were ignoring customer e-mails.

ChinoCharles has many posts and threads in which he has done 100X more for this community by spreading knowlege, giving others ideas and assistance. More than almost any company that has come to these forums.

CC has put up a DIY for the crank pulley, he has had at least some sort of hand in getting NST to build new pulleys. He even helped get the ball rolling on a new SSK.

Meanwhile, ZPI has been hiding away because of their bad reputation.

ZPI CRACKS FTL

No thanks, I won't be coming down my horse anytime soon.

Here you go fanboys, here is what you have to look forward to. Apparently you get what you pay for.

Try to find that happening to an NST pulley. I dare you.

And I found another one! This is a cheap ass OBX pulley for the 1NZ Scion xB.
Cheap junk pulleys FTL

I have never seen anything like this ever happening to any NST product. This stuff only further explains the old saying, "you get what you pay for."

NST FTW

Galavoxx · 05-22-2007, 12:05 PM

I'm an NST man all the way but you also have to wonder how much of that is installer error. Maybe the belts were way too tight or the pulley bolt was over torqued. That just looks nasty.

Someone is doing their homework. This community is still young, and doesn't know half of the story.

NST has GREAT Customer Service and Quality. We would not deal them unless this was the case.

bolt-on?

ChinoCharles · 05-18-2007, 02:14 PM

If you're asking if a crank pulley is a bolt-on piece, it is.

Doc Zaius · 05-18-2007, 03:40 PM

You know, something mentioned on the ScionLife thread that I never thought about: how do aluminum pulleys stand up to extreme temperature variations? Up here in Ottawa, we have anything from -30C to +35C in a typical year (-22F to 95F). I know that cast iron is used for piano frames b/c they don't expand/contract much with temperature. If aluminum expands or contracts a lot, how will that affect the pulley performance, and will it put a lot of stress on the pulley itself...?

ChinoCharles · 05-19-2007, 10:17 AM

Shijima, it surely wasn't an attack on you, and if it seemed like it was I'm truly sorry. If you'd like me to explain further, feel free to PM me.

Shijima · 05-19-2007, 12:45 PM

No worries, my mistake.
