Default bulding a manifold for the tial SS housing...

The problem is NOBODY stocks these housings, and TIAL can't get their act together and produce them. Nobody can tell me when TIAL will have them ready to go.

Does anyone have one to sell or know of anyone with one?
gt30R housing in .63 ar.

thanks

well then why do the tial distributors tell me they dont have them in stock, put me on hold to call tial, and tell me tial tells them they are on back order with no known date of when they will be ready. I tried this with a few different distributors including http://www.extremepsi.com/
to name one.
Two others told me the same thing.
As a matter of fact, tial told one distributor that they recently let go one of the machinists are are backed up as a result.

Is TIAL rationing who gets parts? WTF is going on over there??

That is funny,
why did a phone call to Pam Wilkins just verify that NOW they are on the shelf, but you have 4 MONTHS worth of back orders to fill before you will sell any to new orders???

don't make it seem like im crazy, and you have them ready to go.....

a simple, "we are trying to fill orders as best we can" or saying nothing at all would have been fine.

As I stated earlier, all i wanted was a lead on who does have them in stock. (IMPLYING ABLE TO SELL AS WELL)

if that is what she said, she was referring to the new internally gated SS housings, not the standard vband housings
we have had .63's on the shelf this entire time .82's are the hot ticket because most of the race series in Europe use them

i know stock better than anyone who would answer the phone, period.

I have ordered and received all sizes of tial housings for 35s and 30s in recent months. your suppliers are almost as dumb as you are making yourself out to look.

That would be my suppliers as well as tial's inside sales people.
What can I be expected to know other than what tial themselves say and not one but three different suppliers have told me personally on the phone?

Since you got your answer right from the source and many others, why not stop arguing with everybody and just order the damn thing since you've been waiting so long for them?

well what is "pam wilkins'" title there at tial?

unfortunatley for her and I, she seems to have been the source of all this

I would just order it, but I already paid the retailer, and he was dealing with tial for MONTHS, yes months, trying to get my damn housing. his contact at tial is the above mentioned, and just last night it appears to have been resolved.
I even verified that my retailer was telling the truth by calling up www.extremepsi.com and they put me on hold while calling tial to see if they can order one. a few moments later they told me the same thing. backordered with no expected time of when available.

i was told i SHOULD have a tracking number today though as ive been showing my retailer this thread, and he has been telling tial about it.....

HEY TIAL! CAN I GET MY DARN TRACKING NUMBER?!?! WTF!?

Seriously, you make it seem like you have these on shelf just waiting around. Your employees have been telling multiple vendors that they are back ordered for MONTHS.

Then your employee changes the tune and says they are in stock, but already spoken for and no new orders for months.

You tell me this is not true, and my vendor is promised a tracking number by 4:30 today.
Well, it is 6:30 and NO TRACKING NUMBER STILL.

I mean come on, either you are lying, or just someone there at TIAL is just stupid.

Tial sponsor aka JAKE. Whose dick has to be sucked over there before you ship my god damn housing? Wtf is going on there??? Can I get a ****ing tracking number? I know you make a quality product but if you treat all customers like this I hope to hell your building burns. Put one of those housings you have on shelves just waiting like you said above and ship it already. OR are you full of **** and don't have them in stock? Wtf?!

Dude chill the **** out! Jezzus.... If you were my customer I would fire you, aka refund you, blacklist you and suggest to the many shops I know in this tight nit industry to tell you to pound sand. You are making yourself out to ne very un-needed.

What part of your public communication do you think makes anyone want to get things done for you?
