Bad Vendor Alert: XV Motorsports

[ajantics]

Hey there MJS73, do you happen to have a link for the Bouchillon tank/pump? I have been looking all over the site and I can't find it I would like to order one

[MJS73]

I can forward Bouchillon's email to you, if you email me at mike@mikes73.com, or call JR at Bouchillon.

Any pictures of the XV tank and also the Bouichillon tank? Love to see either or both at this point.

I've purchased and installed one of their tanks with the internal pump. So far so good. It's only been about 400 miles though. Which connections are going bad? Internally? The connector on the top of the tank was shady and needed modifying to get to fit securely. Damn - a thousand dollars - I better not have a problem!

I ordered one of their box tubing rad supports for an E-Body. It took several months to get it. Look pretty good from what I see but I still haven't installed it yet. The Challenger fab work has been put on the back burner for awhile until I get more money to move forward..

Yes, it's that external connection.  Very loose and wouldn't hold, even with bracing on it.  No pics (wish I'd thoht to take some) but if your pump shuts off while driving it's that connection.

I like the looks of the XV stage 2 rear suspension but due to the modifications needed I'm probably going to go with the RMS Street Lynx rear kit.

They both require welding right?

Yeah, its more or less I'd like to not have to worry about relocating or modifying my gas tank and messing around modifying every single bracket and piece in the XV kit to make it work because my springs have been relocated in 3 inches into the frame rails (MP kit). I know there was a guy on here that modified the kit because he had his springs mounts moved in and it seemed like a really big deal.

The RMS street lynx kit on the other hand would require much less fabrication and modification, the only welding is the top strut mount area and the kit works with the MP spring relocation kit so I dont have to try and figure out all new mounting spots myself.

I did like gkring and moved mine invards 1" with the Dr.Diff spring relocation kit. Panhard-bar clears the gastank when you use an 8-3/4. no problems.

Ah gotcha, it was just the S60 that had the issues with the gas tank then.

I think I'll still stick with the RMS kit just because its a little cheaper and it will be plenty good enough for my handling requirements
