What a bummer!!!

[97stanger]

So I've had my Mongoose kit sitting in my room for about 3 months now. I dropped the car off saturday morning to get it installed/dyno tuned. I get a call this morning and my installer tells me Vortech sent me a 96-98 COBRA kit...I couldn't believe it. So I call Vortech and they admit that they f'd up by tracing their files. So the good news is they are going to pay the $400 to overnight ship the right kit. The bad news is I was supposed to get the car back tomorrow and the shop won't even get the kit until Thursday sometime...What a bummer!!

at least the company knew they messed up, with my luck it would have been traced back to being my fault and i would have to pay for shipping back, restocking, and probably a bunch of other stuff

 

[97stanger]

yeah i guess thats a bonus...but nothing ever goes as planned!!

 

[bigjohnson4.6gt]

thats expected, but just think of how sweet its going to be when you get that bad boy on there imp:

 

[97blackgt]

yeah it might take a few days longer but who cares...

at least they realized they had made a mistake and overnighted u the correct parts

hopefully everything else goes together smoothly

yeah i guess thats a bonus...but nothing ever goes as planned!!

i feel you on that, it always seems that way... or something never works out or just goes wrong.... god.... i hate it

 

[97stanger]

yeah hopefully everything else goes smoothly...I'll post up the #'s and dyno dvd as soon as i get it back!

 

[quickstang_1994]

That Sucks. I know how you feel. But at least it will be on there soon. see if the shop will do before and after dynos. Dont forget to post results. good luck

Did they send you a complete wrong kit or just the mounting bracket?

 

[Red96GT]

Hey at least it sounds cool when you say "Yeah vortec is shipping my blower rig overnight to me" ;D

 

[19mustang95]

Its nice that they owned up to their mistake and they are trying to fix it.

 

[97stanger]

yeah its the whole entire wrong kit, everything from the bracket to the headunit. I know theyre doing there best with their error and i know it happens. So oh well, tomorrow the official install will start. All he could do is the fuel pressure/boost gauges so far and start to take the cai on stuff off. I'll keep ya guys updated!

Parts mix ups are just a fact of life.
that's nice that they're overnighting the right stuff to you, and that they have it avaliable.

I'd feel bad for you, but my car's been at the tuner for 3 months...

 

[scarface]

I dont even have a car right now....babies...lol j/j

 

[97stanger]

Just heard from the shop, getting the car tomorrow!!! :drunk:
