Code3 is having a huge sale for Memorial Day Weekend. The sale lasts through Tuesday, and almost everything is 10-20% off. Everything that is on sale is in stock ready to ship.

Just passing this on!

 

OK, so I went to order the C3 pulley ($519 seems very fair) and when I clicked "Place Order" it took me back to my "Shopping Cart." Is this normal? I don't know if my order went through. I checked my 'order history,' but nothing, and no confirmation e-mail. The fact that I clicked "Place Order" is really bothering me. Any suggestions? Perhaps a phone number I can reach them at. I hate having to e-mail back and forth.

 

If it went through you should get a confirmation tomorrow. I placed my order on a saturday and the confirmation arrived monday. I don't have a phone number I can give. And dang it all, I always pay to much with my impatience.

With the track record C3 has, I personally I would never attempt to order directly with that company (regardless of how much % off). I wanted the SC pulley so I asked the forum first and actually found someone on here (woody aka waldig) that sold it to me. I really didn't want to order off the site in fear I wouldn't get my product. I am not saying you won't get yours, you probably will, I personally just won't deal with them (like some other vendors here). Is it me, or is it harder and harder to find responsible, respectable vendors for our little community?!?! WTF!

 

The price on the supercharger pulley was too good to pass up. I ordered today and got an email confirmation from Brandon already. He's already boxed and shipped it out, and upgraded the shipping as well.

 

Recently Brandon had to evacuate his house due to a wildfire, and relocate temporarily...even so he shipped out my pulley and belt wrap very quickly. I can only speak from personal experience but have so far have received great communication and parts quickly. I consider this great service from a vendor who does this part time from his day job.

 

I read a lot on these forums....... It's like an addiction! lol. I still won't deal with C3 personally. That is great to read your situation! I hope C3 can continue this service and regain some respect. Honestly, I am a bit weary of whom I deal with nowadays as I have had some horrible experiences with well known (apparently well respected) vendors that frequent this forum daily. It's actually quite amazing and not the "good" kind of amazing.......

 

I don't blame you for feeling the way you do towards Code 3. My aluminum pulley arrived and had issues with the clearance not being equal all the way around to the clutch. But I also read if it wasn't too far off it would wear in so to speak. I need to take measurements now that its been on for a while and see if it has. But it's not slipping, rattling and it's boosting as expected. After changing it once it really is a 15 minute job swapping back to stock. My stock pulley had 45 mm of clearance to the clutch and the Code 3 has a bit more. The instructions say it should be around 20 mm. I don't know where that number came from. Also the tensioner is not a T11. Its a T10. So ignore the instructions. And for Pete's sake, get the proper tool to hold the pulley to get the bolt loose. I have a feeling that some have cranked so hard on the snout of the supercharger following the removal instructions that they've damaged it. The pulley works, the quality control is suspect and the instructions are dangerous. IMO. (bonafide Code 3 first hand owner and user)

Les, have you contacted Brandon directly about your issue?

BTW it looks like the sale has been extended until the end of May (i believe thats Sun the 31st).

 

No, I haven't spoken to Brandon or talked to anyone at Code 3. The pulley seems to be working fine now that it's installed. I measured everything I could think of to measure before deciding to put it on and found some unequal clearances but hopefully concluded they wouldn't affect the operation and so far it's fine. My only concern is longevity. If something goes wrong in a few months I'll contact him. His suppliers need a good wake up call on quality control if they haven't already gotten one. In conclusion, like the pulley, concerned about unequal clearances.

I still have not recieved an e-mail confirmation, so I must have done something wrong during the transaction process, and may try again. I will still watch my bank statements very closely.


Edit: everything is squared away, Brandon e-mailed me back with some haste. My pulley is on the way!

 

Wow, Code3 really has some of you guys fooled. First off, he wasn't evacuated. He was in an evacuation warning area. Secondly, from what I have come to believe, this is his job. He doesn't have a "day job".
