Jeez guys give Kyle a break. If he can make something for a 1/4 the price that someone else can good on him. I'll buy from the shop that has excellent service and advice even if they are a tad dearer than the next guy down the road. But if they are 4 times the price then fuck 'em.
Have you guys that are slagging off kyle actually had a look at his adapters? Are they as poor quality as you claim? Or do you just feel better about yourself by calling his stuff shit.

Kylebes, I'm talking about you.
Seriously, you fuckheads are why no company wants to touch this car anymore. Instead of supporting vendors that take the time and money to put out a quality product that actually works and provides customer support, you'll cheap out and support some shithead who rips off the design and puts out a far inferior setup.
"Gee, I'm gonna drop 3-4k on the motor, but I think I'll cheap out on 120 bucks and try and wire the shit up on my own from some free (wrong) instructions I stole off the internet" "Who cares about getting professional support from a reputable shop, I can go ask some seventeen year old waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless that have a hard time changing their oil how to to it, get 5 different answers, and all of them be wrong!"
Man, fuck the e30 community.

you kids don't get it. this isn't an evil national corportation you are trying to undercut and steal profits from. . . it is about the only shop around who cares to still make shit for e30s.
THR luckily have a lot of loyal customers who do not attempt to jew them out like this. They're kind enough to offer group buys to us, instead of telling us to fuck off which may be appropriate with shit like this. jesus.
and nothing is more confidence inspiring than some 18yo saying he would know where to find the answer..... from who? the BS filled community with tons of information. . . . or likely in the end, by calling the company you are attempting to steal profits from???Last edited by rwh11385; 12-18-2005, 08:13 AM.

Seeing pictures of this kid "Kyle"'s cars, they're total hackjobs. I would expect any thing turned out by him to be the same.

So, does everybody here think that THR pioneered the m50 swap?
Is that why these adapters are so spectacular, and everybody is so bent out of shape that people are building adapters for profit?
As I recall, 2 or so years ago, THR didn't have the adapter for sale. The adapter came after their cab bushings, which everybody knew them for.
This wiring process has been around for a long time, and THR are hardly pioneers in making them. They are however pioneers in selling them for a profit.
This thread really goes up there as one of the most (IQ<50) threads I've ever seen in this subforum.
It comes down to this:
If you have the extra money and wiring scares you, buy THRs fucking adapter
If don't have alot of extra money, and wiring slightly intimidates you, buy Kyle's fucking adapter
If you pride yourself in doing your own work, make your own fucking adapter
End of story
Once we start attacking people's religion, and bashing somewhat established members of our community, the thread has gone way too far down hill to return.

fine, i apology for my choice of words, but there was no other word at the time i could think of to describe his choice of actions and "business" decisions. some people try to make an honest buck rather than a shady one: think of a concept yourself instead of profiting from someone else's. . .
this here is like biting the hand that feeds you. And people who would rather cheap out and buy from a jerkoff teenager are morons. r3v is full of people who belong on the short bus.
Here are some better word choices I should have used before instead of the verb I did: nefarious, abominable, detestable, flagrant, shameful, scandalous, and exploiting.
see how many companies now will want to make any cool shit for the e30 knowing as soon as they put in time, effort, and money to design and produce a product, we'll make cheap ghetto ripoffs of it when they come out. . .Last edited by rwh11385; 12-18-2005, 03:01 PM.

I supposed THR pioneered the 5 lug conversion as well? Theres plenty of shops around making/selling stuff for E30. IE, powerflex, GC, whiteline etc. This is not aimed at bashing THR, just the guys ripping into someone for providing the same product for $300 less. Unless someone can prove that kyles adapters are shitty then theres no reason to bite his head off.
addissimo hit the nail on the head.Last edited by Borat; 12-18-2005, 07:58 PM.

Whoa guys i know everyone is gettin bent out of shape but listen this has nothing to do with anybody selling these for cheaper than someone else its the knowledge of and cost supplies of making a part , Kyle make these for cheaper than retail group its not that big of a deal. I mean think about UUC Clutch stop its a bolt with a plate at the top and they ask what $30 it is only like $3 in actuality and there is a guy who sells them for $5 big deal. Its called supply and demand with specializing or cornering a market, if anything it is better for us to have more people make these so that way we get a better price down the road.
As for ripping kyle that is like ripping the european service shop down the road because they charge $75 labor/hr compared to the stealer at $100 labor/hr.
