2 weeks

No I caught it when I heard the clicking noise when I was goin in pit area when I popped the hood I saw the mount half way up when I took the mount out I was missing 2 screws and the rest of the screws were bent and stripped. cpe put locktite on the new mount for me. I pick up the plate cover next week

Ok i sent an email off.. before everyone begins shitting all over cp-e, lets see if i can further resolution on this guys.

Should of bought the Minerva Motorwerkz mount.

Hal, i realize we need to chill, and this isn't exactly a common occurence here, but I have had a not so good past with cpe, and even though they try and make shit right, for bein such a successful company they often fall short of comin through with much help for the little guy, but i apologize for wantin to tear someone's dick off, just kinda bs in general. I shall refrain from now on

Doubt very much they're gonna cover the CV/auxilary damage.
I worked as an Assistant Manager at CSK for 3.5 years. Warranties are limited to the part supplied. If you tried to claim auxliary damages, there was a lengthy claims process that 99% of the time was declined. This is because while they control the part, they don't control the install or condition of the vehicle it's installed in. You put a new alternator on a car with 200k miles, a bent bracket and frayed cords, you can bet no court will make the alternator supplier cover aux damages to that vehicle.

Not saying that's how CP-E will operate, but that's the modus operandi for the industry as a whole.

Try Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market for an axle, i found them for about 125. The website searches wrecking yards around the country and a lot of them will ship the part to you. I just picked up a ac compressor for 125 that has a 6 month warranty for my car.

send a PM to 9900, he snapped an axle and sourced one out somewhere.

I've been doing some research into various leads for a new axle. Anyone ever hear of "Raxles"? Apparently they are a remanufacturer of axles, CV joints, etc.

Yeah, down here in Florida. They do a lot in racing.

all aboard the cp-e failboat!




SU MOUNTS FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN!

Well Josh called me and he isnt surprised people are ringing cpe through the mud. They are replacing his mount and sending him the stainless steel plate. At any rate, they wont be replacing the cv boot.

how many times does it need to be said? TRZ ftmfw


lol that cp-e has more fails than minerva...haha

it's a shame. trz would do better if su sold them.

if only i could tuuuuuuuuurn back tiiiiiiiiiiime...

trz already does pretty well...therpmstore was having backorder issues


but they should make a pmm too

whats sad is after the emails from the op/kev, cpe still hasnt even come in here and said anything

and after all this bullshit 2 years of secret testing and all the bullshit suspense they forget to mention loctite??

fuck this shit, ive got their pump, once i have the seals thats all i really need from them

Well fuck me, looks like I'll be redoing the tranny mount this weekend.

Any word if the replacement mounting plate will be free?... I'm sure it won't.


I've always known that CPE was pretty pricey, but I thought that I was paying for quality... guess not.

I think it would have been smart for them to replace everything. I've spoken to a vendor on here who has stated that this sight is 90+ percent of business. And even if they receive a large portion of their business through other channels, this site has to be the largest percentage of their forum based sales.

It seems like although they did not have to replace anything else, it would have helped to dig them out of this hole they've dug recently on msf.

I guess that you could argue that if they did it for this guy, then people would use it against them if their shit broke. But, with the amount of attention this thread has received and maybe a more widespread bulletin, if that were to happen, they could then point to this situation, and say, "hey, we warned you".

I can't wait for the day when every product designed by CPE has a cheaper but equal quality (in this case better) alternative.

Shit, this is going to be bad for my 200 RMM investment I made last month!

I figured those fuckers would be worth at least $350 by next year this time, but who knows now? God damn it Cataract you ruined my scheme!

Cut him some slack, he's working as fast as he can: James Barone Racing

THIS! I was just thinking this in the shower. Weird.

Tapawhat?

Tore down to the mount, pulled it off. Here are some pics of the splatter from the CV boot, as well as the mount.

that is the dumbest fucking design i've ever seen

Hahah yes! My medieval (erm I mean minerva) is holding up awesome. No fail yet.

No but in all seriousness that does suck OP, should be an easy fix though just replace CV axle. Easy to do yourself not sure how much parts are, but shouldn't be too much.

Not too crazy about the 8 little bolts either.

8 tiny screws holding up the engine, eh? are you effin serious? this was a single solid piece when i first tested out the prototype. what a terrible final design.

im pretty sure 9900 had more than 4 months on his Minerva.

Mine is also holding up perfectly fine.

Explain. Pics?


Tapawhat?

hard to see but this was all welded as one

Yeah i've checked it once and everything was tight, no signs of stress damage anywhere. I think I'm about at 3months now. RMM is straight too, some people had their engine shift on them and the bushings deform due to lack of washers. Anyways i'll stop thread jacking.

that is nice, vibes must have been intense with no rubber bushing. Why the fuck didn't they do that.

Muh

ther

FUCKER!

Why the fuck didn't the unwashed masses get that!?!

ugh

fucktards

Like i said, they wanted to show off that they have a cnc machine and can make billet parts. Neato for them eh

cpe is officially DONE.

i feel bad for the OP cause his whole living room set got fucked but atleast this will help bring down CPE faster then they already were sinking. glad to see you take one for the team.

i cant wait to see this worthless company burn in a fiery hell

haha no problem man...it was my pleasure :You_Rock_Emoticon:

lol that was rather harsh...



























still agreed lol.

Yes sir. I should have my 80rmm within a couple of weeks.

as far as im concerned cpe products are about as reliable as PTP at this point.


except atleast john gave refunds when his shit got fucked up, cpe will have the nerve to charge people for the new "backing plate" on their already $350 worthless mounts.

i like anthony's harshness
100% condoned
