The first post of this thread advertises the sale of turbo kits from Joey. I've read every single post in the thread over the years. And I did a bulk the days leading up to my purchase.
While I agree the name calling may be uncalled for, people are upset, and they should be. Most of the...
joining the group. I'm sure I'll kicked out about 2 mins after they let me in.
edit: maybe one of the fan boys is read up on the situation and really wants a turbo kit from Joey. My spot is for sale for anyone educated on the matter and still believing in him. I'll even knock off $1000.
piecing out these kits does no one any good. unless Joey has money. If he had money, he would fill the orders, or at least I hope he would. Or he would at least give people their money back (like he said he would 3 years ago). I put together a list of all the parts a couple years ago. I'm...
This is the issue, when the threads became chocked full of praises for Joey and his "engineering," there was never any comment or discussion about moving the thread or posts to the vendor section.
IMO, the mods made their bed when they let all the lavish praises rain down in the tech section...
Reading that wits end thread lcp quoted, it sounds like the ship has sunk.
Should we get some landcruiser stickers that says "Joey owes me $6 grand." I'm not a big sticker guy, but I'd put those on both my 80s.
I honestly think a shunning from the community is biggest sword we can swing...
For me, small claims isn't worth it. I have to go to him. And after all that, there is no money left. All I'd have is a judgement stating he owed me money. That's not in dispute.
I wouldn't spend a lot to visit him in person. I think doing so would have to be a cordial visit. But i can tell you the gist of what he would say...blah, blah, blah ,blah. It's not his fault.
Otherwise, there's no meat left on the bone. He's already spent the money and there's no reason to...
Can I include you as someone who has an unfilled order? Those of us who have orders would like some form of communication as well.
Here the facts:
I purchased mine Aug 2020
Outside of the automated "thank you for your order" email, I have heard once from Joey about the $6500 I have put down...
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self

I'd take the passive aggressive route and just stand outside of his shop with a sign
The scary (and most likely version) is Joey is out of money. He needs the other widgets to make money to fulfill the turbo orders he's already taken the money for. The argument early on was he needed to batch these things to make the economics work. Now he's doing one off's. Why? I...
So far we have...

I believe people's cooperation in putting this together, even if you have received yours, is helpful to the community.
Just respond and I'll add you to the table.
sorry, n00b questions. the adjusting screw, buy a new or chisel old one out? part number for adjusting screw?
edit: to clarify, I did a 105 shaft upgrade
edit2: found the part number...45357-60030. it was out of stock from amamaya order a couple years ago...
Thanks!
It would be nice to know where we stand. I've got $6500 wrapped up in this.
I guess we can figure out where we stand if we all post when we bought our kit and when (or if) we've received it. I'll start

Join the club. I bought mine Aug 2020. The only time I have gotten an email is when some guy pissed Joey off and he wrote a long winded email of excuses.
My spot in line is for sale, in case anyone is interested. Pm me
