Something Fishy going on with fluid Motorsports.

Edit: (Same owner is running multiple, Small home based business. The CAI was on back-order from injen and they were not giving an ETA, Either way response was slow on order inquiry. Even if it was just to say it was back-ordered no ETA at this time. As of this edit, I have just received the order yesterday. )

Has both a computer business and auto parts store?

Now the Google maps location (http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=511+Tree+Shore+Dr.+Orlando+FL+32825&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=42.205828,114.257813&ie=UTF8&ll=28.551119,-81.222712&spn=0.003492,0.006974&t=h&z=18&iwloc=addr), it appears to be all "cookie cutter" houses on that street and surrounding area.

I hope i get a reply asap, I'm quickly getting uneasy with this transaction!

Home business?

Perhaps he's gone on vacation.

In any event, good luck!

I got an email from Brice Douai of Fluid Motorsports, they are waiting on the supplier, injen for the status on their order. Progress at least.

[cali yaris]

Brice has been responsive and professional with me, I have bought a few things from him. No issues so far -- hope your transaction goes well too.

Love how people think forum posts'll solve the world.

^^^ THEY DON'T damn i guess i am done with YW

[Sabretooth]

I havent had dealings with them before and after more then two weeks and no information on my order, what would you do?

Post a thread to get info on them, sounds logical.

[FryGuy]

I have received my order from them yesterday, it just took a while for them to respond back.
It turns out that it was on back-order and injen was not giving them any information either.
They are a small business also. It took just a few days short of a month to get the order, a long and painful wait.

After installing the injen CAI, it was well worth the wait. The deep throaty sound from the car under acceleration is incredible! The rpm response is noticeably quicker.

I can post sound clips in a new thread later.

[makoto]

Just wanted to say that I'm the admin of the site, and run a software development company (Makoto Inc., which is a home based business) that runs the Fluid site.

The registrant information is for me and my company who handles the website and maintenance.

Fluid Motorsports is handled at a different address.

I work with Brice and he's very pleasant to work with and I've heard a lot of great things about him from other customers.

Sometimes it can be slow for Fluid to get parts out since we don't stock everything locally and have to wait for the vendors. We do have a limited number of items on hand, which reduces our costs of having a large warehouse and insuring all the inventory, and we can pass on the savings to the customer.

If you do have any problems, feel free to contact us at sales@fluidmotorsports.com or if you have any problems with the site, feel free to e-mail me at makoto@fluidmotorsports.com

Well, only really have a computer business, I only handle the technical side of the business. The rest of the team specialize in sales.

And yes, I do own a couple other domain names and have some other side projects going on, although not actively pursuing the other projects.

I enjoy shooting video as well and trying to put together a site that has video of events and things to do locally here in Orlando.

The racing clips on the site are clips that I shot myself for fun. I do have several interests and hobbies and hope that doesn't make me less qualified to run a business.

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience and will talk to the rest of the guys about this.
