I have to say that you are brave....very brave to buy a supercharger over the internet without even seeing any pics or understanding the history it. One thing that really puzzles me.....if you can spend 5500 on a supercharger, then why can't you afford another 1000$ to ask Larry to fly to Florida for the installation. I know Larry fly to Atlanta, Georgia often to do SC installations and inspections. You would rather take the risk and ask someone who is not knowledgable about NSX and CTSC in general to do the installation. Had the supercharger locked up while Larry performed the installtion at your place, I am pretty sure he would take full responsibility at the spot.....

I am sorry, Jackmac. But you just touched on a very interesting topic. See, I have one of the cars that Larry flew to Georgia to do a install on. SC/Headers/Exhaust and maybe trans.(That story changed a couple of times)
What leads you to believe that the outcome would have been different if Larry had done the install in Florida? Does he have to give him the $1000 on top of everything else to make sure that he gets what he was supposed to get anyway? (Meaning if I am where you are I will make sure the job is correct) Give me a break. The people that are getting what they pat for,based purely on those that have said this in this post, are the people that live in the area that can actually see what is going on with their parts and cars.
People thousands of miles away don't have that luxury. It has been stated over and over that there is no doubt that Larry knows about the cars. It has also been shown that his business practices are not condusive to customer satisfaction, unless you live in So Cal. Understand this He DOES NOT return phone calls, He does not pay attention to your time frame, He tells you that he will do something putting you on the hook to the point of very little alternatives than he does not deliver. (basing this purely on First hand knowledge) He may be a brilliant mechanic/NSX tech, but that does not mean a damn thing when you or your car is in limbo and he won't answer calls and has your damn parts. (Maybe he doesn't and is waiting to get them from you guys that he takes care of so quickly when you just drive up). His business practices are a joke. It is a shame that he has even let it spill out onto the forum. Jeff did get his attention, I just don't hope he has to wait 3 months to get something done LIKE I DID. I would post my story, But to be quite obvious Jeff's is so much like mine, with the exception of mine being a different part(s) it would be redundant. Hell I gave up on one part. Jeff I don't think my story would do anything but hurt you in this thread, Plus I have already had to spend Thousands to fix mine. I got tired of waiting months on end. I don't want to do anything but support your thread. I know you aren't lying, because I can hear the words all over again. I just hope he takes care of you. To be fair Larry did finally send me my parts. 3 months and 3thousand dollars to late. I would sell it to someone , but I am truely scared that the unit came from someone else's car. So it is now just a reminder.
I am not trying to Fry Larry, don't know him.
I am just telling the truth as well as voicing what looks like a valid opinion. If I am wrong I will apologize, Not worried about that one because I was already screwed by him. So those that are out there in So Cal that are trumpeting all of this great service, tell him to give it to everyone.
