What should I say about this guy?? He's a son of a....

Just kidding! I wanted to take a minute and give a long overdue shout out to this guy. I had some major problems with my 8 after a botched clutch replacement job by some local guys. When shopping for clutches, I chose to go with THMotorsports over BHR for a few dollars savings....big mistake.

To make a long story short, after replacing my clutch and when my problems began, I called THMotorsports. Their 'instant' advice was to drive my car until the noises disappeared. Thankfully, I kept looking for answers. This is where CRH stepped in and from helping me on my posts along with PM's with helpful tips, he went all the way and met me in person - in California. The problem was most unusual and he promptly arranged for me to bring in my car to a friend's garage - Project Import - in Anaheim, CA where they fixed the problem. It ended up being a completely botched re-installation of my PPF along with shoddy reassembly of some of the peripherals.

He did this all for free and without expectation. He did this knowing I had gone with another useless company for my clutch kit.

Just wanted to say Thank You.

 

Can you be more specific about your install issues? I'm curious about how one can "improperly" install a PPF. After all it is a simple bracket (albeit heavy and large). It is held on by a total of 9 large nuts/bolts...and bottom line it is either installed or not, I can't see much room for error with that as long as all fasteners are installed to proper tightness.

Just like it is kind of hard to install a wheel improperly on this car...again it is either bolted on securely, or not, but there's really no way to misalign it.

But yes, give us more details about your specific problems and what you think cured those problems, and which parts were found to be improperly installed and in what way. This may help others in the future, and it will serve to satisfy my own curiosity.

After all, clutch jobs aren't that hard on this car. In fact this is one of the simpler cars to do a clutch job on.

 

agreed, charles is awesome. i got a used zex kit about a year ago with no instrctions. i got my bhr tb spacer from them but not the kit. i had a lot of questions and he paintently walked me through.
thanks again jesse

 

Surprised they didn't tell you to start double clutching and stop Granny shifting....

Charles is a cool guy always willing to help, he just talks to damn much.

In all seriousness glad you got it figured out.

 

CHR is the man. Drove to cail to help with my car when no one else would. Made it to the Vegas meet cuz of him and easyE. Thanks again guys!

 

Yea! Charles is a Pri .... er...pretty cool guy.

 

Yep, he is a cool **** that can take a spanking from a 100lb hottie very well.

 

sarcasm?

 

Charles R.... who?
never heard of the guy. You must have the wrong forum.

 

HA HA ..I thought you miss-spelled "ahold" (a dash and an e....) JK

Charles is a good guy..he spends time helping people on here and in real life....


Misguided maybe But he will go the extra mile to help out...

 

I'm just going to comment cause I've dealt with both these entities:

CRH: no doubt, goes way out of his way to provide knowledgable and personal advice. Buy stuff from him, and he goes out of his way to support it. Awesome.

TH Motorsports - they fall into the broad category of "great if there aren't any problems and they actually have the part in stock". Never mind that "ships in 5-7 days" is code for "a long time ago we agreed to have a supplier for this and can probably get it for you, but we might not have it at all. I had an issue where there was essentially not a single one of the part I needed anywhere in the country, backordered from the factory. (listed as "ships in 5-7 days" mind you). What they SHOULD have done is said, we're sorry we dont have it, let me refund your credit card. But instead there was just promises and actual deception about when it would ship. I don't trust them after that. Price was amazing but the whole episode means I don't advise using them.

 

Hi Patrick.

Bye Patrick.

 

I got nothing but good things to say about Ray.

I've had several unsolicited phone calls from Ray to help me with problems I was trying to resolve via forum posts.
None of those problems had anything to do with stuff I had purchased or he had installed.

Nuff said if you ask me

Edit:
Mmmmmmm Steak

 

Ah, I get it now.

 

me thinks anyone who cares, or will ever get any of this, understood as soon as RR pointed out what should have been obvious

 

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

UMM HOW i word this... ok u take 20 lbs no lifting for 30lb if guy, so divide 2 u dont sit, u get 10 but for guy it no 30, so 20 would be for guy if u werent a girl ?

 

 

For the lot of good it'll do them.

 

What a read SMH....

I agree with the OP btw.

Whats up patrick...

 

Hey guess what- we dont want you posting here Patrick/ "getreddy2greddy" bye.

sorry OP for the out of context posts.

 

This thread is a bit strange with the deleted posts

 

Now you know what's it like when a Vendor was deleteing posts.

Know one could give an honest opinion.

BTW,

Charles R Hill is honest and has integrity.

Something you don't find much now a days especially in the corporate world when money is all that counts.

 

CHR is a Vendor and he was the one that deleted his own posts. He does that from time to time.

 

A subtle and covert attempt to reduce your post count to zero....
