medieval tubular manifold!!!

[Scatt Nasty]

explain philly ! I hope somewhere it tells where my manifold is at

[phillyb]

nothing to explain to you. all i was going to say to the other people was that he replies pretty quickly. just email him a lot if you're fed up.
i sent a pm to pete and what it said was...i have information these people want, and if i were on the flipside, i'd want to know the information

[Scatt Nasty]

I emailed them twice now and they responded quickly both times. Not sure whats up with the other guys. I thought you had talked to them personally or something, my bad.

My wait continues.

[SneakyP86]

But philly dont you see as long as they have you here answering questions for them and deflecting the questions that they have no need to come and answer. Which means you are helping them to avoid the hard questions that people are asking man. I personally see that as a disservice to your fellow MSF members and a service to the vendor. Which I didnt think I would see from you man..........that hurts my heart man.

[phillyb]

well, that's retarded pete.
and for those of you who don't want to hear me and want to take pete's point of view for something more than it deserves to be...lol...
email medieval at sales@medievalllc.com email him repeatedly cause he gets your emails.

[Erich]

So should I set up a script to send him the same thing every 5 minutes until he responds? That is BS, if he is getting the emails then he should respond to the first one on the subject. Then give an accurate answer instead of the one he thinks we want to hear even though he knows it isn't the truth.

[phillyb]

yeah, but...
think about this...
you've sold a part to me through msf. i've paid you my money, but you haven't sent the item out.
now...are you going to reply to my first private message? if you don't, you might think to yourself, "shit, i haven't sent his part yet, i need to do that asap"
by the second pm, i'm wondering where my stuff is at, and you haven't replied, thinking to yourself, damn...damn..."i need to get this shit in the mail"

this is what i think is happening to medieval. if you don't light the fire by sending him emails and bombarding him, i don't know what else to tell you. i don't have your stuff, i don't even have information at this point. i just have advice on what i would do

[Erich]

What I am getting real close to doing is just charging it back and being done with it. If I sell something, it goes out when I tell the person I sold it to it is going out (which is usually the same day I receive payment.) I expect at least that level of service from somebody who sells shit for a living.

[phillyb]

i agree with you. but not all people are as stand up as you

[Scatt Nasty]

I just want my shit mailed through a service that has updated fucking tracking so I'm not staring at the same message for 2 weeks straight.

[Erich]

If it hasn't gotten there in two weeks, then they probably just generated the shipping order and never actually shipped it.

what is ur tracking # bro? sometimes they'll generate a number and fedex/ups will say something like "Electronically notified by shipper" blah blah, USPS will say something similar.

If it was indeed shipped, Fedex/UPS will have a Delivery date.

[spiker98]

Ok, I tried emailing them through their old site that seems to be still up and running. I got one back 20 minutes later. Apparently they are having some trouble with their spam filter for their emails so some of the emails are not getting through.
As far as my manifold goes he says he is waiting to hear from jet hot this week to let them know what the ETA is.

Here is the link for the contact us page on the old site:

jesus fucking christ scatt...i've had this same conversation with you about 12948712 times, so pay attention. there is a difference between delivery confirmation and tracking. delivery confirmation will only update once you receive the package. the tracking updates probably 3 days late, but it still updates. you my friend, probably has delivery confirmation which costs 65 cents, whereas tracking would be more

[glocK23]

isn't medieval based in the west coast? how is it that i bought some shit near florida that was sent parcel mail, and got it in 6 days, yet this nigga scatt, who is west coast along with medieval, has not?


whuddafuckmanfuckmycatifihadone.

[phillyb]

word. i'm surprised scatt hasn't received his manifold yet. supposedly, it's been shipping for a while

[Scatt Nasty]

You have to pay extra for an actual tracking number with USPS ? Jesus christ, for an 800 dollar manifold I woulda thought that was included.

This is what I was given on May 20th.
USPS - Track & Confirm

I emailed on the 25th and said
"Hey man what's up with the shipping on the manifolds ? I got sent USPS notification on the 20th, but it just says that USPS is expecting the product for shipping. When is it actually shipping ?"

He replied "Usps is slow with updating. You should see it late this week or early next."

So...Today is tuesday, which would be around the "early next week" mark...

[glocK23]

Hate to break it to you man, but that hasn't even gotten to the post office yet.

This is when the package is paid for by the shipper and in the hands of USPS.
"Acceptance, May 26, 2009, 3:06 pm, DURKASTAN, DURKA 13337"

Your tracking information shows:
"Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received"

So it hasn't even been anywhere near the post office, that shipping number they gave you was electronically made, by the free post office software people use to ship shit, lol.

Sorry scatt.

I know USPS is slow, but it isn't slow to update to acceptance of a package. that's for damn sure.

[I<3Groceries]

WTF? Can we hear from Medieval or Darkstar? I've seen Darkstar lurking as well.
Jesus Tap Dancing Christ, I just want to see or hear of some success stories from Medieval themselves, and confirm the 25 shipped mani's bologna.
Seriously, 25?
2.5 maybe...don't forget the fucking decimal.

[Scatt Nasty]

I've sent an email to them at the sales@medieval address and still waiting on a reply. This is turning out to be very disappointing. I was looking forward to installing it today if it had came.

[skeeter149]

bump for a damn answer and resolution!

[Scatt Nasty]

mine should be delivered this week.

[I<3Groceries]

Well where the fuck is mine?
When I get it I'm going to fill it with explosives and make one big ass manifold pipe bomb.

[phillyb]

don't joke about that

[I<3Groceries]

BOMB BOMB BOMB
BOMB BOMB BO BOMB!

[phillyb]

hahahhaha...

[Scatt Nasty]

I <3 Groceries when did you order yours ?

I ordered on April 2nd and was told 5 week build time. Same for you ?

[I<3Groceries]

That's about when I sent money for mine. The very first of April. Originally, I was not given an ETA, because I was told there was one on the shelf, ready to ship. I indicated I wanted that one, so I forwarded funds. Then a week or so later, when I asked when I should be expecting the mani, I was told that the manifold I was waiting on had already sold to somebody else.

I think I've been told my manifold's been to Jet Hot like 3 times.

[madvillain]

hmmmm...

Yes, i have been keeping my eye on this thread. I'm sorry for those who are still waiting for their manifolds from medieval. Those who have ordered from me, I have made sure I stayed in close contact with you, because of the long delays from Medieval on these manifolds. If you didn't order a manifold from me, the best way to get a asnwer is emailing medieval directly like PhillyB has directed.

when sending your email, place a link to this thread in the email.

[I<3Groceries]

Ah, shit. I don't care about the wait. I'll wait for something that actually fits.

I doubt it will fit right, though. If it does, not easily.

[phillyb]

you have a stock turbo too, regardless of it it's reworked or not. i'm pretty sure the only people with fitment issues are those running big turbos

[darkstarmotorsports]

ture.. Only fitment issues I've seen are a few big turbo's and a few MS6's with EWG.

[phillyb]

speaking of which, where is msp6cop from this thread?

Hey what do you know, this thread is going nowhere - Mazda6 / Atenza

[spiker98]

Scatt- use this link to email them. Medieval L.L.C.

He says mine is at Jet hot so I'm assuming that's where the rest of them are too. And here is his response to the EWG problem:

"The ewg on the speed 6 is slightly shorter than the speed 3. It is a very tight fit and you will have to move the line just a bit". (talking about the A/C line)

[phillyb]

here's one installed that hits the heat shield


and here's the thread i took this photo from - Medieval manifold installed pictures - Mazda6 / Atenza

[Jarods7920]

Fitment on the speed 6 is obviously different than on the speed 3.

[djuosnteisn]

speed6 has more room than the 3 also... so... i'd be very very curious to see some installed photos on a 3.

Also, i simply ordered the head/turbo flanges to build my own mani form medieval quite a while ago. I just got the same shipping notice as scatt yesterday. Not actually shipped, but usps has been informed...

Sigh, i thought i'd build my own so i wouldn't have to wait as long as everyone else, hahaha. Who'd a thunk the flanges take 5 weeks to ship too... sigh.

[Scatt Nasty]

Has this manifold been installed on a ms3 yet w/o ewg ?

Are new studs and nuts absolutely necessary with this manifold or can stock be reused ?

[I<3Groceries]

Scatt, did you opt for EWG for you Medival mani?

If not, things will be very interesting when you go to install yours. My hopes are high, since you're bolting to a K04, and especially high if you are not EWG.

I am also wondering about the new bolts.
