Well it is to say I have read the vendor announcements and I would like to just take some time to thank Marti for always being there and supporting our community. Marti you are a good guy. I hope things work out for you :thumb:

He has helped us throughout the years and I would like to wish you luck with future endevors(sp).

This is not a thread bashing any vendors or promoting them since well they aren't in business anymore...

I think that we should all say somthing to Marti for his continual support and help. And a shout out to all our other vendors too.

Beat me to it. Marti, goodluck with everything that is on your plate right now and also all of your future endeavors. Sorry to hear the bad news.
 
What bad news? Last I talked to him they are just not accepting orders as they are moving into a much bigger facility.

Oh but yeah, good guy!
 
word around town is the new shop got broken into or something around that?
 
Well I would also like to say that I cant wait until they goet back on there feet and the vendor annoucment that left me waiting to see what he will say next week. I hope he starts selling items again soon I was looking forward to purchasing a couple of parts from him.
 
i stand corrected LOL i didnt even read the vendor thing martin posted. that sucks big time. hope everything works out for him and TSF
 
I have nothing but AWESOME things to say about Martin and The Speed Factor.

I have had an order out with The Speed Factor for a few weeks now because during the move there was a mistake in the shipment I received. Martin has been more than helpful in resolving all of this and in light of the current situation even offered to replace my order out of his own pocket if it comes to thatOMG . I don't know any other vendor that would offer to do something like that. Maritn is definitely a great businessman and he will be receiving my business from now on wherever he happens to end up.

As for your manifold there is an email in the vendor announcement that you can email Martin directly at to check on the status of a pending order. I'm sure he will do eveything he possibly can to help you out.

It is a shame that something like this has happened to such a great guy in the DSM community but I for one am behind him as I'm sure many of us are.

Good Luck with everything Martin, we support you.

I think Martin has something up his sleeve, judging by his smilie's in that post. It sucks that he got screwed by whoever the "other guy" is, but hopefully good things will come out of this for him.

I'm lost. They aren't out of business are they? I'm still waiting on my manifold.

Read the vendor announcement forum.
 
Hey folks, I wanted to thank everyone for their support. My e-mail has blown up with messages of support and I can't even begin to tell you what they all mean to me.

I have gotten the e-mails from folks who had pending orders and I will have updates for all of you by Monday. If anyone has any questions I am more than happy to talk to any of you. Please e-mail me at [email protected] or you can still contact me on AIM at THESPEEDFACTOR. I still do recommend that anyone that needs help also e-mail [email protected] to see if we can get any help through there. I have NO access to anything e-mailed to the speedfactor domain.

Thank you all again. Your messages of support and appreciation have made this disgusting ordeal manageable.

Martin,

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes, or hell maybe it will turn out to be one of the better things that happened in yoru life after you get over the rough times. I don't know you other than what you post but you seem like a nice guy that is willing to help out when you can. My buddy went through this with a partner of his and I know how extremely hard it can be to get back on your feet. I wish the best of luck to you and whatever you have planned and don't let the scum bags on this earth get the best of you.

couldn't have said it any better. :thumb:
 
It is unfortunate that things happened this way but at the same time, it could be a great opportunity for Martin.

Martin, if there is anything I can do, just hit me up on TT.

I can't say enough about Martin and the support he provided me from the speed factor. I am new to the community, and have been working with him for about 6 months. Martin always gives me the time to answer my "novice" questions, and provides advice with absolutely no pressure to "buy" anything.

I look forward to doing business with you again!!
 
OMG switzer sounds like he is in the EXACT same situation i am in. I will not go down and i will not allow this terrible excuse for a human being to prevent me and the good guys from doing what we do best. I WILL BE BACK VERY SOON! Bigger and Better than ever!

Folks i can't tell you enough how much all your support means to us!
 
Ditto on everything that's been said here. Lowest prices, best customer service, great DSMTuners involvement; we all look foward to having you back, be it with SpeedFactor or your own new company. Good luck, hope this gets worked out soon!

I will personally make sure you get what you paid for bud. Don’t worry :nono: .

Thanks Martin. I can't find one person who has anything bad to say about you or the speed factor, so I'm not worried. I am in fact a supporter too, good luck with everything and I also look forward to doing more business with you in the future. In the meantime, I can wait on the manifold until you have things in order.

Thanks again,
 
I have nothing but great experiences with Martin!! I bought my turbo, and a bunch of other stuff from him. I am still waiting on my stage 3 brake kit, but I have plenty of patience with a guy like him. He seems very trustworthy! He does everything he can to make you happy, I wish there were more businessmen like him!!
