buy an ebay ssac fmic. same thing, less fuss than dealing with criminals.

boostedbogan · 06-08-2009, 08:58 PM

ok cool, is that a whole kit or just the intercooler? also is there any other place to buy it from or just ebay? because i tried looking and didnt see any on there right now.

DaveSTi · 06-08-2009, 09:28 PM

whole kit...it'll pop up here and there on ebay.

The true SSAC FMIC kit is on backorder for at least 30 days according to there sales rep. So whatever is on ebay may be garbage. CSS has had some serious customer service issues. They have no problem selling there product and taking orders, but when it comes to shipping them out they have a serious problem. I have read of people not recieving anything for 6mo. with no explination or refunds. Other people get wrong parts, missing parts, damaged and so on. If you must get a CSS FMIC look into buying it from Import Image, they will only sell if everything is in stock and ready to ship.

if you do get the css order through http://www.importimageracing.com/ ... josh ( the owner of import image) will get you the intercooler in a timely manner or give you a full refund ... ive seen people order through css them selfs and wait 9+ months http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1711133

i got my css tmic from josh in about 2 weeks .. but those 2 weeks included many fake tracking numbers from css...

i do like my css tmic though so if your in no hurry

It took me 3 months to get my intercooler. That was only after some serious nagging on my part. Getting any response from those people is nearly impossible. They still owe me about $30, but its not worth my time to go after it. I just cut my losses.

From what I have heard even Import Image is having a hard time dealing with them.

Do yourself a favor and dont support those scam artists.
