The only vendor I care to name is Sheepey Inc. Alex is your best friend until he has your $$$$. Then customer service falls off greatly. Genuinely displeased with the service. Quality parts...just customer service is far from acceptable.

Mine and 3 other friends setups were made incorrectly. Pretty ridiculous. Sent my down pipe back and now waiting on my down pipe to have a PTE T3 flange welded on. Cant imagine the headache Id have if I have a warranty issue. Its clear they're about quantity vs quality.

Other vendors are doing a decent job at resolving everything. Just discouraging that I've been plagued with incorrect and/or damaged parts. More often than not.

1) oil feed should not be taken from the vtec pressure switch correct? Its been proven to be a poor source of oil volume& pressure?

2) I ordered a Tial Q BOV with 11psi spring for my stock long block f20c. Based on the vacuum, the chart Tial supplied and what I read ppl run, 11psi is the spring of choice. I received a 10psi spring. I emailed the company and they just said its the same and they dont make an 11psi spring. Seems like a cop out.

11psi is the spring of choice correct???

an 11psi spring seems kind of high. I would suspect it to be 5 ish psi. My car at idle in full vacuum is only about -10psi

Correct, you should not get feed from the vtec switch. Use the factory oil pressure sensor port.

Thanks I appreciate it! Kinda what I figured. I recall reading about the pressure differences with vtec engagement.

On to the bay....picture of my old fuel feed line lol. Previous owner had cut the line for some reason? Then was rigged back together with some clamps lol wtf.....






Onto what I got done today. Rolled the car out of the garage. She hasn't seen sunlight in 5 months haha. Cleaned, prepped, and painted the bay. Getting paint matched paint in rattle can for simple projects like mine....highly suggested. Very happy with the results. Looks fresh from the factory.





















What you see pictured is primer and Sebring Silver base coat. Letting the base coat cure and will lay a coat of clear down.

Where is this great Sheepey Inc. customer service people speak of??? HA JOKE. Didn't think welding a PTE T3 Vband flange took 4 weeks. A flange I stated that needed to be T3 PTE THREE TIMES when I made the initial order. One would think it would have been done correctly the first time when I patiently waited for and I quote '3 weeks tops'....which turned to 2 months.

I keep getting lied too. Its like dude. Stop yankin my chain. You obviously didnt get to it. Stop dodging me and stop lying. Not stupid. I was on your list to contact? I bet. You 'already shipped it out'...but when I ask for tracking # multiple times over several days, you respond with sorry didn't make it to FedEx I'll ship it in two days. Makes sense. No it's cool I'll wait.

Apparently it was completed a week ago and shipped. Yet Alex keeps dodging me when I ask for tracking info. Hmmmmm.

Gob bless those who need Sheepey Inc warranty work. Oh you have a cracked manifold? Well hope you like your car to be down for 3 months because why take care of current customers when you can just keep reeling in the new ones with money to spend.

Full Race and/or Kings Performance FTW.


RANT/VENT OVER.

Got my down pipe back from Sheepey/Alex. Seems kind of.....off. Took some measurements with my mic but cant post pics as I am currently at work. Everything is V Band. Inside diameter of the flange is def smaller than the exhaust housing which I think would choke down some flow. Also the flange outside diameter is larger than the exhaust housing vband flange. I feel there might be sealing issues once the vband clamp is installed. One would think the flanges should be flush turbo to down pipe?? Simply eyeballing it you can tell things are off but measurements are as follows....

Turbo housing Vband flange:

O.D. 3.108"
I.D. 2.650"

Down pipe Vband flange:

O.D. 3.233
I.D. 2.510

That seems odd. My vband flanges were all pretty close when I still had my precision. Nice job with the paint as well. I want to get an OEM lip and try to rattle can that sebring since I can't get them new anymore
