My god you are a douchebag. I cant say im suprised about all this considering you pulled this **** on the GTO owners already. I figured the fbody and vette guys were your bread and butter that you would hold on to, but it seems like you pissed in their cheerios as well.

But I am a believer in karma, and you sir have ALOT of bad karma coming your way. Feel lucky your australian *** doesnt live here in the good ole US of A, otherwise im sure you would have dozens of pissed off customers coming to give you a good CHEERS!

What was the basis for that decision??? I'm just curious at this point because APS had made a pretty good name for themselves when this all started out.

Nobody suggested you were being an *******, we made statements. Bit of a difference there.

I'm glad APS is out of the business, especially if everyone else there has your attitude. Even if it was the BEST kit made and the LOWEST price out there I still wouldnt buy it. Although, neither of those are true from what I have seen.

Keep your Australian POS attitude over there and with the imports, we will do just fine with KYTP, ATI, TTi, etc etc etc...

THANKS and cheers mate...

I think this is about the 20th time this has been asked. Its quite obvious he is side stepping the question.

Oh boy you're my hero. You delivered a product a customer paid you for. Only problem is it didn't contain the quality parts you advertised and now as the product falls apart you decide to bail out.

I'll tell you what, if your Aussie *** was over here you would lose more than a few customers. You're a real big man hiding on the other side of the world ripping people off. If you were over here you would get a beat down of the worst kind. I wish you would come over here and visit me.

Someone earlier said 'what comes around, goes around'. I can't wait until you get yours, thief!

Although I don't work for APS, and I do not have any insider knowledge; I can say this with 100% confidence: companies do not sell products that are not profitable. And I would venture to guess the GM products are not profitable as the domestic market is smaller than the import market. With Honda and Toyota outselling US companies by a 2 to 1 ratio, it would be an easy decision to focus the larger import market. Look at their website in the "media reviews" section, it seems they are focusing on the import market as there are only 3 Holden articles and all others are Nissan, Toyota or Subaru. Also, given the product quality issues I have seen posted on this and other websites, it would seem warranty claims are eating into their margins and the product is no longer viable or profitable.

As for warranty, their website states "3 months conditional warranty", if you are outside of this time period I would imagine you are on your own.

Ok how about you be honest and post the facts concerning the WARRANTY for existing customers? If you no longer are selling GM based products and appear to not have any customer service, why are you still a sponsor?

The warranty question has been posted several times in this thread and you have ignored it each and every time it has been posted. Two moderators and the prior owner have each asked this question. Please respond Peter....
