efinity

I contacted tony and he is being very cooperative. He is having me take my car to a reputable body shop tomorrow and to get a quote. I will keep everyone posted, and I appreciate all your help and support. I will even take pictures of the final result!

See that wasn't hard was it?

Thats all we wanted (and specificly what I said to you in PM when I removed your post) before "us ******** that run s2ki" put your post back. I'd rather have some closure on the matter and let people see what happened instead of people posting speculation and making assumptions without having all the details.

i love the ending of this thread ... happy ending .. ROFL

Congrats!!!

At least your situation turned out to be better then mine.

SRD replaced a blown motor in my car, less then 2 weeks later it spun a bearing. I had them replace the motor & they charged me for a second motor.

They only gave me 1/2 off the motor cost & a nice half *** install.

Have someone else repair your car & them pay for it.

What exactly failed? Did it fail at a weld?

I blame it on that. I've personally seen damage done to toe control rods from lazy or stupid dyno operators. The way that piece failed looks like that is what happened.

Either way, it looks like everything is being resolved.

I asked what exactly failed? All I see is the picture of the shaft posted and I read all 4 pages and I didn't find the answer.

That link looks like it's solid...is it solid or tube?

Did it fail at a weld?

If these links are failing are they binding up ...is that why they are failing?

So again if you can post up the other pice thats probaly still attached to the car it'd be nice to look at.

Everyone is happy he got his deal but no one is curious what is wrong with their link? That link from the pic on the tc site isn't a complicated piece from what I can see so I'm real curious why it would snap like that as I'm pretty sure these guys know enough to make sure it's not binding up.

so you "read" all 4 pages and STILL don't know what's going on, huh? im amazed.. but regardless, ill help you fully understand what happened.

call up Tony Colicchio at 408-956-1526. Tell him you want to order the "TC Toe Link". Oh, and make sure you say that you heard about it in the Honda-Tech S2000 forum. When you get it, install it then just drive it casually in the track or in the street. We'll be expecting you back here with 'results'.

Now giddy up and get that TC Toe Link. I heard there's a group buy going on where you get a free complimentary flux capacitor with your purchase.

(sorry for the sarcastic tone. i just dont understand how someone can read 4 pages of this thread and STILL NOT KNOW WTF is going on)

Buddy I have a feeling you don't know what/why it exactly failed either judging from your response. If you do can you post it in your next response? In that response include one of these words HAZ , Weld , bind.


Oh and if you still don't understand I am asking what failed on the link.

Edit: if someone could respond who doesn't need others to tell him how a shift **** feels it would be nice.

The car was traveling down a straight road and the broken toe-link caused it to suddenly changed direction. The change of toe in the rear from the rear tire splaying out at 45 degrees is indicated but the flat spot on the tire and the 30 yard skidmark. I feel that TC Design is to be held accountable for their negligence. I hope to work out a resolution with TC Design to be indemnified for all damages incurred from this incident.</TD></TR></TABLE>

listen BUDDY, i dont understand how you can't understand that the toe link failed. efinity meant that it snapped. and NO, the toe link didnt fail an exam. it failed by snapping when it should have had snapped. (you still dont get it?)

if you call Tony, you can ask the man yourself. That's his TC toe link. i have no idea how Tony conducted his R&D on that piece. you can throw in the HAZ, weld, and bind terminology that you're talking about. im sure he would know those things.

so do us a favor. call tony. ask him your specific toe link questions. as for the shift ****, you dont need to tell us where you've been sticking your **** in. that's your business, not ours.

and for Tony and efinity for FINALLY getting in contact with each other and resolving this issue. let us know how it turns out.

Ha ha holy **** you don't even know what time it is and you respond. You have to quote the guys description of what happened and it tells me nothing about what exactly broke besides the link. Are you not curious to why **** brakes because obviously TC isn't. So you might want to take 5 minutes and check out why this thing broke because there will be some other company come along in a month or 2 and make up the same piece and everyone is going to take their word that it is a proven piece and the same thing is going to happen.

Please go back to playing with your polished shift *****.

ok, now you're making fun of TC and their products. how can you say that "Are you not curious to why **** brakes because obviously TC isn't" you work for them, don't you? you're not supposed to tell us what happens during your R&D phase. and why are you asking me why it broke? ASK TONY!

and no one said anything about playing with shift *****. other than YOU. this is NOT the BDSM forum, little girl. so take your lame *** 'essex' stage name and lesbian icon outta here. lol

Wow, so you are saying you don't know? Why don't you just say you don't know instead of wasting everyones time and the sites bandwidth? If anything you are the one who sounds like they are in bed with Tony, trying to play this off like it never happend. Good Job

TC DESIGN

Essex, Please do not bring me down to the level of some individuals on this board. The part that broke was the tie-rod adapter that installs in the upright. We care very much about what broke and how it broke. In fact we have been making a redisigned part for over a year now. It is not a bind issue. If you have any further questions you can contact me directly for answers, not the BS that some of the members of this board fling around.

that's good news Tony. we salute your work. we sure hope essex got her questions answered even though you didn't mention "HAZ" and "weld" as essex would have wanted you to.

oh, by the way, any updates on efinity's body shop estimates?

Why not? I understand why you would not want people to know, I assume that in the deal he could not talk to anyone else about this. Thats cool. As long as you guys are helping him out then good luck to both of you.

I am a parts mang at a very large bodyshop in Va. His car was hurt, but could be fixed. We do see a bunch of dumbass s2k drivers that just stab the gas ad hit walls. I get a s2k every month or so, its sad


P.S. I hope we can still be friends
