We gotta make Tech Info more visible!! Here's the "recommended" first mods...

http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/techinfo/?article=52

I tried to ask for a Frequently Ask Question Section but its a no go. :roll:

That's what Techinfo is, Steve.

I don't think newbies know that, Bill.























:D

right! i can help make it visible if you all want to if you all are too busy to do it. Relocate and rename techinfo for FAQ and put up with the rest of the topics.


But check out Intense-Racing.com like mentioned aboove and they can help you out very well. Might even want to go turbo...

Hey all! This is my best bud Kevin who just got a Bonne. Yesterday we had planed to gut his airbox and drop in a K&N and look what we found...

tons of sunflower seeds packed into the airbox. So the gains we alittle more then normal :D

Ed

The answer is no still Steve. Please stay on topic. It's a very simple matter to steer new members to Techinfo when they join.

Check out www.ZZPerformance.com they are the leaders in NA power.

wtf how did sunflower seeds get in there? WHO CHANGED THAT FILTER? (sorry about the caps, too lazy to re-type)

wow that is unbelieveable

Must have had rodents living in there with access to sunflower plants..

Before thinkin of mod.. I"d suggest protecting your car first.. no point having a higher powered engine to go boom fizzz..

180 Drilled T-stat..

there was a post a while back bout the plastic intake plenum mod.. but I"m too lazy to look it up.. * wonders hows thats going in long term testing now? *

And external tranny cooler

i think this is the only forum on the web actually RECOMMENDING intense products.... :?

:roll: I dont know if its just me but i think someone has to re-type that "first mods" page...its just plain fucked up, it seem to start telling you one thing that all of a sudden it starts telling you somthing you already read...it was so confusing the first time i read it as a new member that i was thinking " :wtf: :?: is this site worth my time, I mean they dont even proof read there own articalls".... just joking but really that need to be addrest.


also does INTENSE make anything for the series 1 bonne???

Well whats the point of saying one vendors products are crap? You just burn bridges that way.
We're slightly less biased than other forums. Besides, INTENSE actually tries to do a few things geared towards the Bonneville. Go to who puts the butter on the bread! :P

gotcha.

I don't believe this is a true statement. By the way, have you ever dealt with us?

No, however there is a good thread on Series 1 performance parts...

can you direct me to it???

Its the very first thread in the performance section. Can't miss it.

nope, because i research companies before i give them my money

And by research you mean?

Let's get an understanding here......most of the INTENSE bashing is on one particular Forum that is OWNED by INTENSE'S biggest rival. Think about it. The REGIONAL clubs from that parent Forum still use INTENSE parts.

Now you see why we're not sponsored. We have no alliegance to any single vendor more than any other.

Get this back on topic, this isn't a Vendor quality topic. I will continue to recommend INTENSE, because quite frankly, they have the best customer service rating out there, bar none (except maybe PulleyBoys).

Back on topic.

i wont do any bashing, but that ^^^ is not the full truth. if you want to see some company censorship, check out 3800tech, erasing and changing threads to promote a certain company, deleting those things that dont follow the plan.....couldn't be to decive the public though....never

I'm pretty certain I know more about what's going on with the vendors than most people here. Keep that S H I T off the boards. No member here has ever had a single issue with INTENSE that wasn't immediately taken care of. They have the HIGHEST rating on this forum. If you believe all the rot you hear, you're going to be a pawn for life. ANY Vendor on this forum carrying blue stars for rank is in good standing. INTENSE is the model for customer service that we judge other vendors by, and WE'RE not sponsored.

BACK ON TOPIC NOW.

Sorry Bill, I gotta post this .... delete and lock if you like.

Any vendor, and I mean any vendor that will offer advice and reccomend a competitor as well as offer suggestions without steering you to his product starts off with an A rating in my book. I see this all too often in my industry (not automotive), but it carries over to every other industry. That is just customer service plain and simple. I have seen INTENSE as well as other BC recognized vendors provide that type of support on here and it is nothing but appreciated by both registered members and lurkers alike. And I am not even and INTENSE customer ..... yet. The funny thing is, the vendors who provide this type of support usually provide the best product as well as after the sale support.

Admin has already stated to go back on topic, but at the risk of a warning, I feel strongly enough that I have to speak. Please don;t let this be the start of a flaming, we can take it to the lounge, offline, or PM.

Of course the other extreme is also true (I'll leave that to everyone to figure out on their own).

lol, im not the pawn...

:blessing:

Only because it's time someone noticed how often INTENSE reccommends competitor's products if they feel that it's a good choice. That DOES happen here.

Do NOT hesitate to buy from any vendor that we recognize on this forum. ZZP, INTENSE, PFYC, SeriesOnePerformance, etc. If you want opinions on a particular vendor, ask. If you have questions FOR a particular Vendor, post in the Vendor's forum.
