I would like to warn MTLRacing members concerning Jean-François Noville's business (Kiwi Customs & Performance).
I gave him the opportunity to make a custom exhaust manifold for my car. When I came back to pick up my car, the manifold was not installed and he was still working on it. He end up finishing close to midnight and said the part would fit. The next day I tried fitting the manifold but it was touching the midshaft and some sections of the chassis.
It did not exit at the correct location as well (I gave a written spec sheet before the work which indicated what was needed, along with my car). I returned the manifold to him for re-modifications and then he became very unresponsive. Took a month to get a reply from him saying that he mailed the manifold back to me, even though I never gave him my home address. :dunno: I asked for a tracking number but he stopped answering.
I am short of $1200 and my exhaust manifold. Now, more than three months later, I am going through legal means to try to get my money back, but my hopes are slim...
