Something Vexes thee? I looked at your pic's, I am not an engineer but I built commercial buildings for years. I would draft the plans and then had to deal with the city engineers and my MEP engineers. I again am not an expert but I would not have trusted those parts to hold up my pants. I can not blame you for being pissed. I also posted this in the paddock.
is that the right emoticon?
assuming the two records we are dancing to are the Beatle's Helter Skelter and Metallica's ...And Justice for All cuz the guy at Kanna is clearly nutty and I'm having my day in court so to say and I do believe justice has been served.
So are you recommending this vendor or not???
Really, you need to learn to vent. Holding in all this anger just isn't healthy!
In all seriousness, I understand your distress. It is a good lesson learned that many of the parts we are putting in our teeners are either manufactured by small shops (without a real quality assessment process) or really old stock. Just because we pay top dollar for a part doesn't mean we shouldn't really critically review the part when it arrives... Before we install it.
You were lucky that this part's catastrophic failure didn't endanger your life.
Now it's time to let it go and
Thanks for sharing your thread!

Hey Eric - I had let this die 2 yrs ago a month after it happened and moved on. Issue is the rat bastard up and out of the blue sends me a nasty-gram about bad-mouthing his crap, claimed I never called him, which was definitely not the case, and claiming I was slandering his stuff, which again is not true - slander is if I were lying about his components breaking/machining being crappy. Then went public on the forum before I even saw the PM or had the chance to respond.
So, I figure if it's a knife fight he wanted, I'll come with both guns blazing.
Key is I want everyone to see not only the crap workmanship, or maybe more appropriately workmanshit you will get from them, but to see exactly what the customer service is like once they have your $$ and you have their junk.
Best part is by him going public a fellow teener that had also been screwed big time by them was able to get his story out there as well - so I am not the only one to have big issues with them and have to completely rework/deal with their pieces.
And hey, your right, this venting stuff is pretty therapeutic hahahaha
I read Kanna Motorsports response and it seems right away they were degrading and unprofessional. They "assumed" you did something wrong and defended their craftmenshit... not the best example of good customer service. These guys sound like a bunch of jackasses!
right?!
If he had sent me a PM with a bit of sugar v. vinegar, asked me what the issue was, apologized for not somehow catching this 2 yrs ago or responding to my phone messages and emails, asked for pictures or proof, this would have went a LOT differently because he would have known right away that the parts were not up to snuff and, hell, after he saw the pix if had he simply apologized and assured me he was sorry this turned sour I would have totally dropped it. In fact it would have probably not even gone public again and that sleeping dog may have continued to lay.
If they have any honor, they'll do something to right the error in product quality and customer service.
Hell, everybody screws up and sometimes we open our mouths (or write something) before we know what's really going on, but good people come back and say they are sorry and at least give you the product that should have been sent the first time.
Come on boys, the clocks ticking. Show us what your made of.
Does Kanna Motorsports come check out 914 world?
You're an alright guy in my book, you've earned my respect on these here forums. Their response just wasn't right. So, pardon my occasional ran-dumb comment in your thread. wuahahahah. they just keep bumping it back up to the top!
What if they offer to pay you off in ice cream? Did I read that correctly in the paddock?
I see you cross-posted this to the Pelican board. Hahaha! You're really not letting these guys off the hook! Good for you!
But I'm a bit confused... When I enter "http://www.kannamotorsports.com" a message comes up stating that the domain listing has expired?
Are these guys gone, or are they at some other www address?

I just had knee surgery this AM, so eating a few hundred dollars worth of ice cream probably wouldn't make that situation any better when the extra pounds set in hahhahaaha.

I just had my 8th Knee surgery (every type except replacement). Let your leg recover before doing anything.

I've had three and wish I had only one. Get that puppy strong and well rehabbed before you go doing anything crazy.
thanks everyone! yeah, the knee was a hurtin' puppy yesterday (the day after sorta thing) and I was simply on the couch and drugged up pretty well Today it is feeling a bit better - off the pain meds altogether at this point.
I hear you guys about taking it easy - sux as I am having my mom pick up the transaxle from Mendeola today and she will drive it out here for Thanksgiving... I won't be able to do anything with it of course for quite awhile which is the bummer. My friends out here will have to unload it and we can all gawk at it for a month or two hahahahahah. She was looking for an excuse to come out here anyway.
I hope this is the only one I have to have - PITA to deal with this sorta stuff.
To bad your not closer we could have a Tranny Party.
Get Better Soon.
Yeah...Thanks for noticing Jon.
thanks Paul... I think hahahaha. As if I wasn't feeling enough nausea already hahahahaha
Oh man, I just ate lunch!
Is that Chelsea Clinton in the middle of that pic?
I says it is, but don't quote me, I don't want Hillary after me.
The son Bill always wanted.
My daughter looked at that picture and this was her face
Attached image(s)
I dunno if that face is necessary, Chelsea isn't that bad lookin'
err, wait...
