I CALLED SUNCOAST LAST WEEK TO HELP A FRIEND OUT WITH A CONVERTER AND THEY TOLD ME INGLEWOOD TRANSMISSIONS IS NO LONGER A VENDER OF SUNCOAST:confused: WHAT PARTS ARE WE GOING TO GET, IF WE ORDER FROM MIKEL? ARE THEY GOING TO BE ATS PARTS? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Mike absolutely knows what he's doing and what's his affair is his alone. Real no-class of you to be posting what's none of your business.

well then wheres your custom kit?

if he thinks thats all there is then he hasnt really built too many of these i suppose. i hate all this people wanting to be product developers and whatnot. lets check out your custom kit racinmike. im sure it will be a copy of an SC kit that doesnt work as well. and im sure it will use transgo or ats components. you think all of this hasnt been done?? people dont market it because it is COPYING

what happened at suncoast to change things? when my clutch delaminated they were very helpful and for my case had service second to none. between mike l and suncoast i had zero complaints. maybe the popularity got to them? sad to hear but i never recommended anyone to suncoast, always to mike so nothing will change for me. best of luck mike:)

AFAIK when joe died his widow took over and things have steadily gone down hill.

You realize that what Mike does is more than throwing a few parts in the tranny right? Unlessyou have insanely low prices or are one of the most experienced and trusted trans guys like Mike then you probably wont get too much business. People usually stick to the guys they trust and have treated them right and Mike has the respect and loyalty of most of the guys on this site. If you do good then more power to ya but as a business decision it seems a little risky.

I have not cut Suncoast off; way too many close friends there. I am just doing things a little different; my way.

How long is the SC warranty? I dunno id have to look i bought it from you right when the 1058s came out and tested it at the track. I just know some people have been having a bit of a hard time with SC.
