Anyone else get scammed by NST? (nonstop tuning)
last time I got scammed by an aftermarket automotive performance company , I was about 21 years old.
16 years of buying car parts and got nicked again (not a bad streak).
anyhow, ordered an UDP from non stop tuning back in January for my 99 lexus and was immediately told there would be a 45 day delay in production.
no problem. I really wanted to add a few ponies under the hood of my daily.
5 months and 4 emails later about how production is not as fast as they'd like it to be, I start doing research on the company and low and behold , other people have been scammed as well.
some people on the Honda forums said they aren't really even in business anymore. kind of late to file a dispute with the bank. was wondering if I'm the only sucker that bought an UDP from them or did anyone else have better luck?

From Wikipedia:

No thanks!

A crankshaft or accessory pulley not machined or balanced properly can cause severe damage leading to thousands of dollars in repairs.....Poorly engineered underdrive pulleys can cause unwanted side effects; this is due to not spinning the alternator, power steering, and/or air conditioning fast enough. This leads to low alternator voltage, weak/no power steering assist, and weak/no air conditioning effectiveness, especially at idle/low RPM. The most commonly seen result is lighting may dim, or the stereo may cut out. Too much underdrive for a race car is not much of a concern due to the high RPMs they run at, but for daily driven vehicles it can lead to a dead battery if too much time is spend at idle or low RPM.
