man that sucks, why couldn't they use the dif fan controller? cause it only took me about 30 minutes to install on my rb and they work great. i cant stand half a-s-s shops like that. hopefully your luck gets better.

Why couldn't they figure out how to install the dif controller? Simplest install ever! The instructions are very detailed. Is this guy still in business? If so, you need to take him down for the count.

Thats lawsuit worthy IMO. Sorry to see the problems dude, thats really unfortunate. I wonder what they did to create that fire. I suspect they didn't fuse the line and used an inadequate sized wire for the job. Evan

This didn't have anything to do with you swapping over to the FAL fans?EDIT: Maybe the wiring job was adequate for the cheap 10" fan, but the FALs were too much?

exactly...the FAL fans draw more amps then the universal fan they put on. If it had been fused properly it would have popped the fuse and no harm done....obviously thats not the case.

hahahaha, i was going to say the same thing. A shop here in town did the same thing to a friend of mines RB25, they wired up some FAL's and just hooked it up to a switch and the ACC2 relay. It got so hot it blew the 25 amp ign fuse and melted the main blue power wire for that circuit, that i had to replace. It amazes me how many shops there are out there that dont understand the fcking basic principles of electricity and how electrical circuits are supposed to work. If you dont know what Ohms law is, you should not touch a wire on a car period.

bunch of idiots; can't read a manual for a simple fan controller. on top of that lack understanding of wire gauge to handle a certain amperage.well, start pulling that entire front-end harness and put in a new one; or cut off the fusebox and solder on the new one...either way, you're in for a time of your life moaning and b|tch|ng

you got it...i already have a spare fusebox and harness and im gonna start relocating on next week. the reason i even knew about the low life shop is because the owner of the shop came to me to buy some RB parts...when i spoke with him he came across very knowledgeable. talking about all the customers he's had and the kinda work he does. He sold himself well, but, the work done at his shop was another story....

I'm certain that someone else had major issues with them or was suing them for the money paid for mount kits that never manifested themselves. I remember reading the thread because it was so entertaining. Such a F*** up.

Holy ish what a nightmare... At least it didnt take out a fuel line.... Coulda been a LOT worse. Man, i just wired my dif fans up. The instructions TELL YOU exactly what you have to do, thats why the dif controllers are so nice. No external sensor needed, they splice right into any OEM temp sensor. DIY ftmfw when it comes to that stuff.

I have known Erik Rummel for YEARS and have witnessed first hand how he will say and do whatever he can to do whatever he wants. He manipulates, lies, and flashes a smile, and sadly most people give in to him. I can't urge strongly enough for people to sue him, report him to the BBB, whatever they can to make things right. He will NEVER change his mind and decide to make things right on his own. It's time someone made him grow up and face his responsibilities. Just think... what kind of father, or stepfather, allows their kids to sleep on the floor of a poorly ventilated, poorly heated/cooled automotive shop? This guy cares that little for his own children. What makes you think he's going to care at all about your cars?

Thats bad. I mean.. it is one thing to crash in your 'office' after work, but if you have kids.. no way. You need to step up to the plate.. And FYI, I grew up in a shop. A _good_ shop!

Just in case anyone isn't aware... Erik's name on here is iroc_07. He's making posts to sell and buy parts, and I can't comment on his thread, so I thought I'd let you know so you can avoid his lack of ethics here, as well.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again... This guy can talk his way out of a plastic bag that's tied shut... lessthanthree has got it right, sells himself well, and flashes a smile, and you fall for it. I also know him personally, and will never even as much as talk to the guy again.I encourage people as well to go after him legally, in any way/shape/form possible. He needs to go down... It's pathetic the "work" he does...or lack there of... There really should be some sort of sticky informing people about the good and bad shops, and explaining why the bad shops are bad... Just to help out the people that don't already know...

I will be posting pictures of two cars that were recently pulled from Low Life Kustomz.One is an Rb26dett in a s14. The other Rb in an s13 chasis. Both cars are hazards to be driving on public streets. I will make an in depth post about them and include pictures. The two gentleman that own the cars were in Aw as to how someone can call themselves experts, and build cars to such crappy standards. The two cars were brought to my shop to fix all the errors that were made. I suggest in the meantime, no one goto this place for an Rb swap until they can clear anything up. Nas P.S. Greg I will be contacting you sometime this week. I want to see if you will be going to VIR for GTLive as you have done in the last two years.
