Car came back running like a$$ the 1st time 9.8s air fuel and leaking oil all over ... Sent it back had it warrantied ... Now they returned it it runs a lot better just minor things but it still leaks oil front crank seal just confirmed it.. Other shop never touched the tune just a leak down compression and looked it over

The billet mount was manufactured by Tial and designed by a Rennlister. Broadfoot just sells them.

I bought a used tec3 here in rennlist (one of his kits) about a year and a half ago. I bought a few missin pieces and paid a little bit for support, then put it all on the shelf. Fast forward to 3 days ago Friday. I called him, ready to fire up my 3.3l motor with the tec3 installed. Chris had a tune in my hands sun night. Car fired up tonight with minimal tweeking. Very happy

Really hmm maybe I'll do that !!

3.3L? how big can these motors get?

+1 For years Broadfoot has been known as a place not to do business with. I'm really surprised your son chose them! When you put in "Broadfoot Racing" in google the first thing that pops up is "buyer beware" followed by a few more down below.

Ok so front crank seal is missing the Teflon washer and is leaking pretty good .... Talk about professionals

I've heard of a 3.5l

For some reason the folks on the Facebook 951 page are still mostly backing Broadfoot blindly due to their presence on there. It reminds me why I left that group...not sure why I rejoined.

Yes I too have had my disappointments with timely delivery. However I got products of unique design and quality. While expressing my frustration in person with another long term customer I came around to his more reasoned and effective outlook. He said it is a matter of setting your own expectations of the cost not only in money but also in time for the quality of the product eventually received. For example, if you want a new motor you don't wait until your current motor is blown, you order a spare a year in advance. As a result I have multiple spares of custom pieces and thus don't expect instant turn around from this high quality, high demand, limited capability source. This reduces both my stress and his. It also means that he might rather work on my items rather than some others. This is mere supposition on my part...

In my experience it is always better to value and expect performance from someone for what they are good at if you can manage around the frustrations by setting appropriate expectations. In some cases that is simply not possible. It's a judgement call. We are each our own judge.

Due to the format of FB itself, the FB 951 page cannot and does not pretend to be as much a "thorough" source of information as a forum like here, and throughout the years it has turned out that folks seem to be using it mostly as some kind of 951 chit-chat page with/for relatively immediate/spontaneous exchanges, hence wider variations in the quality of its content, which necessarily results from a wider range of characters.
What goes behind the scene though should remain a problem between said characters and anyone is welcome to not buy into anything that is posted... which is probably why you rejoined

Crank seal is not suppose to have Teflon washer.

JBrown

Looking at the brake down there is a washer that was missing some one told me it was Teflon .. I ordered one along with seal forget that part number .. Maybe it's like Teflon ... But it's missing lol
