ClimberDHexMods Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'll be doing this for a while. Eventually Hex Mods needs to turn some sort of profit. Between R&D and the F1 that USPS #%$@%& LOST, it's a bit of an uphill battle. 1/4 of every dollar I bring in ends up going out on some sort of shipping expense. Lots and lots of shipping.

ClimberDHexMods Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 so is there no longer a core option for the F1? Where were 3 cores. Now there are 2. I'm going to buy another one from a local, so that spect of HexMods will be fine.

doccrowley Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 let me know what a core gets for cash. I have an '06 tranny just sitting around and not much need for the spare VB that sits within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 The domestic demand for cores is one person: Me. They hardly ever wear out, so there's no real need for them otherwise. My Overnight USPS showed up at my customer's door today, so I'm back to 3 plus a fourth coming in soon. I simply do not have the cash or need for a 5th. The core program has been slow to take off. Reputation takes a long time to get out. It would help if I had a website and made an effort with SEO, ebay, amazon, etc. But I'm too busy with my current company that actually pays the bills to turn HexMods into anything more than a service for you guys right now.

quick4dr Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 BUMP for David, ClimberD great customer service, and amazing product. Got the new valve body in today, warmed her up and kept topping off fluid with easy drives up and around my shop. Opened her up getting onto Route 17 so. DAMN shifts are sweet!!! still has lots of learning to do but incredible out of the box difference! Any 5eat owners truelly looking to make a mod of epic change to your car, regardless of stage level. Even stock would benefit tremendously. This valve body will truelly change the dynamics of driving this car. still have lots of driving to do any learning, but limited with my driving time today got stuff to do, and going to see Alice Cooper tonight at Bergen PAC. More updates to come!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let it get you down. When I first started I had my main job, 2 kids that played sports and I was the head coach, my wife had just started her job after being laid off for 8 months and I Had dumped all this money into developing my FMIC. Stress was high and I was going to pull the plug after my first shippment because I was doing all this by myself. I took a Vacation just to relax. Then, I looked at my operation and found ways to streamline my business. I talked with my local UPS store and worked a discount on all my supplies and they even store some kits and all I hve to do is send a address, they ship the same day and charge my account. Doing that saves so much time and energy it became more manageable. It's always hard in the beginning. but, I gets better. Now, I'm at almost 200 kits sold and I ship all over the world. Now it freed up time for me to make my 5g '10+ LGT TMIC to be followed by a FMIC. People say you have a great product so, stick with it. You can help alot of people and put a little money in your pocket. I just got a new kit in from the coater and I'm going to try to put it on Monday with my JDM front clip. So, I can get my old one to you to fix your heatsoak problem and you can make more power.

Hard to find the drive to work through all the tough hurdles, most of which are with my primary job. HexMods has a real future. I can feel it. Your FMIC is going to be a real blessing. My car is flipping horrible with heat soak. It's not even fun to drive anymore, since I know I'll never get a straight shot that covers both requirements to go WOT: 1) having been driving fast enough for long enough to cool down the eBay custom TMIC, and 2) have no one in front of me immediately following #1. FMIC will solve #1, which means I can drive my car again! [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

ClimberDHexMods Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Occasionally in Drive if Drive flipped to background temporary Sport mode. Sport itself can be a little rough if you briefly hit the gas and make it think you're going to go quick, but then pull off the gas.

Sport itself can be a little rough if you briefly hit the gas and make it think you're going to go quick, but then pull off the gas. I'm pretty sure I get that with a stock 08+ VB. If the TCU/ECM thinks you are trying to accelerate and it thinks it needs to down shift or if you were on the gas hard and then pull out, then it sometimes shifts a little hard. Not the only vehicle I have driven that acts that way. I just make sure that if a I commit to mashing the gas I also have the room to let it finally shift under power whenever fully possible. IMO, it happens to me more in Sport # (Sharp) due to the quicker downshift and longer hold point before up shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 CO2 is pretty cheap in liquid form...the dry ice bag is only $50! how big of a bag ? you can get bricks at wal mart for like 6$ one would probably last what 30 min of drag racing ? with like 35 deg f intake temps ?

quick4dr Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Only keeps getting better and better! about 150 miles in and low rpm shifts are stock like smooth upper rpms is still learning but so wicked quick its amazing the driveability difference from having a sprite transmission!

After a bit more research, the home dry ice production kits I used to see on sale only make dry ice snow...which would probably disappear a little too fast to be of use for racing. It's basically the same process on a larger manufacturing scale but they use a press to form the bricks you can then buy in the store...
