AB A little concerned.

Hey guys, im not trying to slam anyone or cause any drama, but does anyone know where these guys are ? I have been calling them for weeks, emailing them and private messaging them here on the forums. I have a fairly complex kit that sean has been building for me for a couple years, and it seems as though these guys have fallen off the face of the earth. I hope nobody is in harms way and trust all is well, but if anyone has some info on how to reach these guys please let me know.

Beau

I feel i should clear the air here. The build length is in most part my own doing, i started out wantng a 500r, I am now having a much larger gt42 billet setup being made, dual wastegate bla bla bla. I also got a completely different throttle body and intake setup which has thrown a fitment wrench into things regarding the exhaust manifold Sean has to make. Aside from being tough to reach at times they have been completely professional through the whole process and I am sure your kit will not take as long as mine.

You don't have to clear the air cause my comment was a little sarcastic but in all seriousness I'm waiting for a response from A-spec very very very soon as I have explained Sean the situation in pm and I can't wait much longer due to reasons beyond my control.

I spoke with Sean a bit ago, not only are they very busy, but there are some extenuating circumstances at work here that compound everything. No worries guys.

Like Monkman said there has been some extenuating circumstances which I believe made them fall behind schedule with work but they are still there, still working......... You just need monk-like patience that's all (no pun intended)

Sean, please check if there is a problem with your emails. I have sent an email to 3 different addresses of yours and they all bounced back.

I've seen a noticeable ramp-up on A-Spec's responsiveness over the last month or so. Leads me to suspect that Sean is slowly digging out of the hole that life has thrown him into. Be patient and he WILL make good!

+1

I guess I should've posted an update on my situation. My kit has been delivered about a month ago. The reason I got worried (for a moment) was because the communication with A-Spec has been nothing but great and all of a sudden no communication at all but this was because Sean had to concentrate on family health issues and deal with funerals etc. Since I didn't know about this I got worried but once Sean focused back on his work, everything was back to normal.

Having said that I'm sure this delay caused a big pile up of work and he is a one man show. From my experience and from reputable members' experiences in this forum, Sean will deliver.
