well lets see yes id love to turn over 8k, i dont tho, i still have a completly stock ecu/ maf set up, yes top hat mount are ****y! ive bent three of their transmission mounts, and none of them have lined up prop, i had to drill the holes out every time, and no i told mike, i want to rev out to 10k so i can reach the 200mph mark, he still insisted a n1 would be over kill, well now im done doing buisness with him.,

my crank has normal thrust= none, yea the pump slipped off the rfont of the "tophat" aftermarket "snout" so their responsible for that ****, im extremly pissd at that company rite now, mike still hasnt tried to contact me, so please no one send them buisness,and mike if your reading this please call me and send all the money you stole fropm me back! so i can fix my motor from your f up or your machine shops f up!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, Top Hat the shop is closed and we are renting a shop with someone else for R@R purposes so the phone goes to my house answering machine. We are still doing alittle work but want to focas on parts. Leave a message and I will call you back. Please dont do it like Sullivan and call/email 5-times in a freakin hour and then make a stupid *** post same day about no one calling you back. Sometimes it will be next day.Sullivan your info is complete BULL**** and half truths.Tom called me and said he had a problem with the crank. I said send it back and I will make the machine shop fix it. He chose to try and grind the weld himself. He called and said oil pump broke,I asked if it was due to the crank, he said NO and he asked if I could check it and I said no problem but I suggested he send me the whole bottom end for me to check so we could find the problem. He told me he was sending it.He asked if I thought he should get a Greddy oil pump. I said too much money and I know 26s making much more power without them. The problem with his engine needed to be found and throwing money and parts at it wouldnt do it. In other words it sounds like you have no idea whats going on and you just want to blame someone. You just calles and emailed me for bearing prices a few days ago and now this post?? What ever. Its over now. I just think maybe you should tell the whole story.

If anyone has a problem with my pricing don't buy from me. That's easy. If you do want to buy let me know it's too high and I will try to work it out but somethings I sell as a service, not cause I make money off it. I'm a fair guy as most of you know and try to handle problems.

There are still people saying our mounts don't work. Sorry to the 966 people I have sold kits to. 966 and thats not a made up #. To the people reading this post, Top Hat kits are not perfect and do take some work to install so beware to people looking for the self installing engine mount kit.

To the Supporters, Thanks.For the Haters, you guys will always be there.

Oh, and the guy that said I stole CAD drawings and a Girlfriend. Your a dumbass.

well for those of you who remember unstable hybrids the mounts they produced for the short time they were around are almost identical to those tophat sells now...only difference is the isolator used.but that was back almost 5 years ago now when unstable was still around and cameron/nightsyven racing still stalked this forum.this has degraded into a pissing match and will be closed for that reason, if you have beef with a shop/person this should be the last place its posted.If anyone has issues take it up with me.

closed.
