This reminds me of some dealings with a very well known DSM vendor several years back.

Initial prices were quoted at HKS' MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) but we quickly realized that several other retailers (including one known HKS direct dealer) were quoting and ultimately selling the kits at a lower price.
Didn't you guys break their MAP though? Do they have somewhere that if you break their MAP that you wont be able to sell their products?

Was the AWD motorsports place one of the other retailers quoting below the MAP?

Fuck evoM! They are dumb asses then if they feel that they don't want the truth to be heard about their own vendors that they are supporting. That's the stupidest shit I have ever seen. That just makes EvoM look bad that they would rather have them as a "good" vender instead of people knowing the truth.

Much like DSMTuners deleting countless threads and banning dozens of members for bad-mouthing and spreading the truth about Slowboy Racing. Lots of politics happen on National boards.

MAP is minimum advertised price, at no time did we advertise pricing lower than their MAP guidelines. And no AWD was not, in this scenario, selling lower than MAP price to the best of my knowledge, it was another shop.

They are only allowed to require a minimum displayed price, but cannot legally require a minimum sales price, right? The fact that they would do this to legitimate dealers and customers is disgusting. It shows they they clearly care more about a reputation that can generate high profits than providing quality products and services.

I hope this gets posted on every forum so ALL of the mitsu enthusiasts see how HKS, AWD Motorsports, and slowboy are all alike. Can I copy this and post on other forums?

Had to make some changes after reviewing this with my attorney sir, if you posted this anywhere I would greatly appreciate it if you could update those as well :)

Great..feel free to fill me in on the rest sometime. I thought even bush-nuts was reserved. And the evo not up to par? pft. Yea, I can see where he's coming from, but at the same time, it's a brand new fucking racecar..there will be issues to work out. Jesus.

Mike@awdmotorsports is always making post about how he's going to screw MAP over. Everyday it's something.. The guy never shuts up!
It's like Mike is scared of you Chris so all he does is run his mouth over facebook..

He's not faster, no where close in fact if we're considering the FDSM. However, he does currently have the faster Evo. Anyone that has ever built a purpose built race car can tell you though, it never goes as planned the first time around. Once we get these drivetrain gremlins figured out we will give him a run for his money :)
