I have been doing an extensive build which has exhausted my finances, tested my mental fortitude and stretched the limits of my patience (at times). My accumulation of parts has been a mixture of my forum's classified threads, Major parts distributors and NASIOC Vendors. I've had good experiences, horrific experiences and confusing experiences. But this is a thread promoting a great experience I have had with Flat 4 Motorsport.

Philip Ly is the President/Owner of the company. His company is a mixture of decent deals with phenomenal customer service. In this day and age where there are so many choices I believe it is the personal touch that makes the difference.

I have a tendency to be a little aggravating when selecting parts because I'm very particular. That's probably the first thing I noticed in dealing with Phil is his seemingly endless patience in answering even mundane questions. As well, he has an ability to relate to a customer. Honestly in talking with him it feels less like a business transaction than a general conversation and advice distribution.

Phil will only sell high quality parts. So if you are looking for cheap alternatives then you will be persuaded otherwise. But I think our cars deserve quality. He is also extensively knowledgeable. He builds our cars so what he personally sees as quality he sells.

I have bought a handful of things from Flat 4 Motorsport, but the best experience was my fuel system. He went through many different setups as there are multiple different points to tackle this. We decided on the parts, and then he offered to build it for me. I will say his assembled price with all top quality parts was less than (what I consider inferior) other kits unassembled sold by other companies. When my stuff arrived I could only explain what I saw to him as "automotive porn". It was that gorgeous and well put together.

So my review is that this company is small, but that allows for a personal touch. And in this instance "small" doesn't dictate "less". He can get you what you need. Give him a try and form your own opinion. I highly recommend him.

I attest this is an unsolicited review. Of the last 6 months and 20 different companies, Flat 4 Motorsport is who has stood out to me. Thanks.

Brandon,

Thank you for the kind words. I'm just doing my job, I wish more businesses operated the way I do, in a age of automated, email generated responses it sucks being a consumer sometimes, I feel that being personable, especially in this type of business is what sets you apart from a being good company to being a great company.

I will continue to only offer the best products, and customer service, to my customers.

Thank you for your continued business!

I just received my ID 1000's from Phil@Flat4Motorsports and really fast too. He had great communication and got my package out promptly. Stand up vendor that stood by the price he quoted me and didn't try to bs me like some other vendors do. Would definitely do business with again. Thanks for my injectors Phil i'll let you know how they work out when i get tuned on Friday!


Thanks.

Purchased FPR and the complete re-hose of my AP fuel rails with what Phil laid out for me. Did a great job and the parts look fantastic !! Can't say enough of how easy he made it and shipping was fast. If you are looking for help laying out your fuel distribution than Phil's the man for the job. Thanks Bud,

I'll add on to this thread. I've been on NASIOC a long time and I've bought thousands of dollars worth of parts from various vendors. I have to say that Phil at Flat 4 Motorsport is my first choice before I even think about asking other vendors. It's not that other vendors are not good, we happen to have some great vendors. For me personally, Phil has always given me great advice on parts, the lowest price possible, and also the fastest shipping. He's always on top of things and the communication is impeccable, most times getting responses and quotes minutes after a request is made. You just can't beat that.

I highly recommend anyone looking for any part for our cars to at least give Phil at Flat 4 Motorsports a ring for a quote before buying elsewhere. You will then understand why I speak so highly of him.

Keep up the great work buddy!

Rami,

I really appreciate the repeat business! You know I'm always available if you have a question about an install or if you need some advise on a new part, and If I don't have the answer you're looking for I'll always do my best in helping you find what your looking for.

It doesn't matter to me if you bought a $25 bushing or a $900 fuel rail kit, a sale is a sale and I will always do my best to offer support before and after the sale to make sure you're happy with your purchase.

Thank you!

I've been working with Phil on his core swap/TGV delete service and he was very helpful all the way through. Even when I thought I was going to be buying more parts from him, he was happy to recommend parts and didn't even try to get me to buy more than I needed. He actually told me some parts were unnecessary and saved me some money, WHO DOES THAT: ) !?

All in all I was given a better than expected product for a price cheaper than what I could find anywhere else. To top that off, he's a very easy person to work with, quick to answer any questions, and quite a knowledgeable rep.

A++++++++ standup job son!

Michael,

I'm happy that you're happy!

Even with the snafu on my end I did my best and quickly deleted your TGVs after sending you STi style TGV's.

(He had a '11 WRX and I overlooked the fact the the intake manifold was different and sent him STi TGV deletes and the two center bolts didn't line up)


It was my mix up but he was understanding and I made it right for him!

I refunded him for the shipping so there was no cost on his end at all for shipping and even threw in some extra goodies for being patient.

Thanks again for the business and please don't hesitate to come back when you need parts or if you have any questions!!


-Phil @ F4M

I have gone to many reputable big named shops in the past, but never have I felt so comfortable leaving my car in someone else hands than in Phil's from Flat 4. Always keeping me up to date with the progress, sending me pictures via email or texts, finding better deals for me regarding parts, and so forth.

Not many of you know that I have been completely screwed over by a shop that choose not to tell because just looking at the name of it pisses me off, but Phil saw my post about my 2 year downtime and offered to help me out.

Not only does he do a great job on the project, but he works very well with customers. He had to deal with angry friends and family of mine, but continued to do his job in a professional manner.

"Thanks Phil"

Matthias,

I'm glad the car is on its way to becoming a street monster again!

I can't wait till this thing is tuned and you get to see and feel the full potential of that Full-Race TW setup.

Thanks for your business! It's understandable in the situation that you've gone through for friends and family to be skeptical and worried that you are being taken advantage of, but no need to worry my friend, you're in good hands.

Just need to get this beast tuned and you're good to go!

Just picked up a set of ID 850cc injectors and pnp adapters from Phil. Received an amazing price on them and the shipping was fast too. Best part was the level of communication. He got back to me very promptly and actually followed up on things (unlike some other vendors that I've had to hound just to get a quote).
Thanks again Phil, look forward to doing business with F4M in the future.
