Anyone else have a contract with Sport Compact Pro? I know Stealth and LonglivetheZ do, but anyone else? I might need your support. I will try to contact you on AIM Stealth.

yeah i have there sponsorship too and so far i am not so impressed. The try i guess. when i checked on prices because you do have to pay a percentage they only took off 10% and it was really over priced in the first place so i can by everyting some where else for much cheaper. Not working out so well for me SCP. Hope i could help.

and also the will accept you if you apply SCP accepts everyone. No joke

So is it a fake? Stealth and LonglivetheZ, can you give me more details on this and I do need to talk to you guys since you do have contacts to them.

I haven't received my paperwork yet, so I don't know.

Alright, let me know how it goes LonglivetheZ :)

all i know is, its seems kinda hard getting in 4 applications a month for them. Other stuff doesnt seem too bad; I saw their sites for parts and some shit and they suck. Oh well, we'll see what happens

Wait this is confusing the shit out of me. 4 apps a month, and they accept everything, where the hell are they getting all this money from?

I'm very curious to get my paperwork. I've heard very mixed things about this so far. No matter what happens, I hope I don't get fucked out of my $80.

I've been told that $79 is refundable...Let's just hope lol. I too have a contract waiting to recieve but I'm in a different situation right now.

This company bought out racerXmotorsports. So im sure they have money from that to spend

I hope it is refundable if I choose not to go through with this. I could REAAAAAAAAAAAALLY use that $80 right now...

Is there any other website that talks about Sport Compact Pro? www.sportcompactpro.com doesn't say much about the company...

I have to call still for more information and ill post all that i ask. I could use the help with parts and everything, I HOPE this works out!

Yo Stealth, can you email me some links that they provide us to buy from?

www.splpart.com (i think that is one)


http://airbornemotorsports.com/


http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/main.asp


http://mmrusa.com/ (i think this is one too)


sorry, i dont remember them all

its www.splparts.com sorry

I got my contract a few days ago. I must say that I am REALLY pleased with it. Pretty good deal when it comes to paying for parts, huge list of parts suppliers (I was REALLY happy when I saw Jim Wolf and Stillen on there...), and opportunities to make CASH with them. Not too bad of a deal....at least I THINK it's not too bad of a deal. Going to call them tomorrow (monday the 2nd) and ask a few questions. I will let you guys know.

i got one. i agree with austin they dont give you much of a discount. so far im not liking it.

I hope it's good as LonglivetheZ think it is. I get my contract around this week. By the way, Is it your Z31 being sponsored LonglivetheZ?

Yea, it's my Z31T that got it.

It doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. You can get over half off parts and labor...doesn't sound like too bad of a deal to me. Everything helps. That would make my new JWT turbo ~$700 as opposed to the regular ~$1,200 or so.

I still have to call them tomorrow with a couple questions I have. If nothing else, it COULD be a lot of fun...I think you can work booths at shows and get paid for it. That would be cool.

yeah in the contract im pretty sure it said that the pay for booth work and apps gets taken out from the co op money and is given to you. kinda rough

Oh...so you do have to pay an amount for your stuff. SCP doesn't pay for the whole thing? Hmm...I'm still broke kinda and I do need a winter car soon lol.

yeah, like i thought i saw posted before, if it was a 2000 dollar thing, they may pay 1000 or 1200 or something like that

Damn...I would still need money of my own. Grr.

I never had a deal like that before, but I have buddy back in Houston who is sponsered by a Saturn Dealership with is Saturn and they give him parts at cost, (for those of you who dont know thats ALOT cheaper, like 50%-75% normal price). But that was his deal.


As for needing a winter car, WHO NEEDS A WINTER CAR! live where it doesnt snow. LOL I havent seen snow in 2 years, been in Houston TX and in Phoenix AZ.

haha yeah in january i was in New mexico and saw light snow. I was like WTF! I came to get away from that

Just thought I would post a little tid bit of info. My whole car club got sponsored (we have a performance shop that pushed us to the top and getting us a better deal). We will get our contracts next week. I am selling the 350z (no flames, just got married and having twins!) and getting a 240sx (backseat) and doing upgrades. At the least this should be fun. Its basically like insurance such as a few other people have said...you basically pay the deductible and they pay the rest...pretty cool idea....

whats the car club?

congrats 03Blue350z.


Twins...... now you need a twin turbo Silvia. 1 for each kid. :)

It's GroundZero of Paducah Kentucky...I like the Silvia idea...I traded my Z in today for a Tiburon and got some $$ back...They look good (are slower though) but it will be interesting...not my favorite car but the 240sx I wanted had an oil leak and exhaust leak..it was about to blow... www.groundzerocc.com is our website...I designed it originally but they had a different template made and copied all my work over to the new one...its not bad but I havent work on it in a while...

03blue350z

Wow...someone else in this hell that is Kenfucky. :p j/k I'm in northern kentucky. I'd love to come see your place and talk to you sometime, man. I'm sending you a PM.

Hey everyone, i was searching for scp's telephone number and came accross this. I was also accepted for the sponsorship, and was told if i didn't agree to the contract my money could be refunded. I received the contract, looked it over and did a price check on a few items. I didn't really want to have to buy from them, and all the dyno/installation time did not apply to any shops near me.

I called them and asked if i could receive my money back. I told them I could not make some of the agreements on the contract. They then said the money was already donated to charity (victims of illegal street racing) and could not be returned to me. They said they would talk it over with their manager and give me a call back. I've heard nothing since. They said they could get me something worth the $79 dollars from their shop which i might have to go for, but i lost the telephone number. Can anyone give it to me?

Never heard of a situation like yours, and sorry, but I can't relate.

I really don't know if/how I can help you, but if I could, I sure would. Sorry, man.

Do you have a phone number where i can reach Chris? I've lost it

Who's Chris?

He's the guy who recruited me for sponsorship, guy with deep voice who should have called you. Any number for scp would be good

Phone: 302.892.3400

Fax: 302.892.3434

I also got sponsored by them and filed a fraud complaint with my bank when it came out that they were a scam.

Those are the numbers.

It's definately not a scam, but now I'm kinda on the fence about doing it or not...

For instance...I want a Greddy Profec B Spec II....if I got it from them, the most they'd help me is 55% off the list price of $420, which leaves a price of $231...and that's best case scenerio. I can get one off eBay for that price...probably a little cheaper. But, on the other hand, they would help with labor and the stuff I can't find on eBay or the net.

I'm still kinda undecided...even though I already put a few of the decals on my car...

Have you signed the contract yet? You're not theirs until you sign that and send it back. If you decide not to go with them, you get a $78 pair of stickers

I haven't sent it back yet. I'm still on the fence a bit. I'm not too worried about the $80 cuz it's tax deductible so I'll get it back eventually. Besides, it went to a charity...or so they say, at least. If I decide I want it back, I could call them and try to get it back (which I doubt would work), and if it didn't, I could file a scam complaint with my bank and get it back that way. I'm not real worried about it, though.

It was posted on 3si that this sponsorship was a scam although a friend of mine read the contract and said it wasn't. Within 5 days of SCP taking the money out of my account, I received a contract with 2 dinky ass decals to put on my car. Btw, try researching the charity that your $79 went to... Victims of Illegal Streetracing. There is nothing on the internet in regards to a charity of that nature at all. It may not be a scam but so far I haven't seen any evidence that proves whether it is or isn't, so I decided to try and get my money back and pay for my mods myself. If anyone else has called SCP or has any other input it would be most appreciated.

I've been with SCP since spring and haven't bought anything from them yet. I don't see the point of buying anything from them when I can get it cheaper from larger retail internet shops. I thought that by having a sponsor, we are supposed to get things cheaper and faster because we are product advertising on wheels. We will stand by the name brands we put on our cars for competitions. That's pretty good for any company when they have actual customers out their pushing their gear. If you ask me, those who put their cars on the sponsorship block should get paid every month for fronting any "Brand Name" gear on their ride. And these drivers that make their car look that good so the Brand Names make money should be given the newset and greatest parts for the competition line. Getting sponsored should be like getting a job. You should work hard to get your car in the best competition quality it can be in. And your sponsorship should be your employer with a paycheck every month and a vehicle budget every year. You should be so lucky as to win a regional competition. But to blow away a ton of wanna-be's in the state with your tricked out, fully sponsored low rider. HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!! Just show me where to sign up, if it were only that way today. But it isn't. It's the way it is. I would love to go to bat for these brand name companies. But for now, I'm caught in this SCP merry-go-round.

Yo, if you wanna get sponsored, look at your local shops. They will gladly sponsor you especially if you have a plan that you can impress them with. Just call the owner for a meeting and see what he/she says. You could get a full sponsorship, or maybe just tires. Just keep on asking more shops, their bound to get you something for your rolling billboard. It's the cheapest form of advertising that any shop could afford. Good luck yo.

so do you think SCP is not worth joining??

A lot of what Ice said, I agree with. I think they should pay for all of it...not part...we are rolling commercials for these people. I too would give my right nut to get a full sponsorship job type thing as he describes.

........buuuuuuuut........

In the mean time, I'm still on the fence about signing the papers. I'll think "ah hell...why not...it's better than nothing..."...then ten minutes later, I'll think "man...I can get most shit just as cheap, if not cheaper off ebay...why bother...". So...I'm still on the fence.

As for the $80, for whatever reason, I don't really care too much. My contract is sitting right here next to me and it's been left up to me...I guess I think that's good enough. I dunno. I also did some pokin around for that charity and came up empty handed. There could be umpteen billion reasons for this, so I don't really hold it against them too much.

i got my sponsorship yesterday....i'm now waitin for the paperwork as well....i know i dont have a Z, but I came across this when I searched for sport compact pro and thought I'd get involved since we all have this in common...so I will keep you guys or girls posted as well and will be watchin the thread to see what happens, but i'm not worried bout the loss...like mentioned be4, just file fraud complaint...but i really hope this goes through...i applied in april and just got the call...my car was even primered @ the time of pictures...but anyways i hope the best for all of us...I spoke 2 harry

In all honesty I wouldn't sign the papers and try to get your money back. It isn't worth it. My parts normally cost out the ass and even with this so-called 'sponsorship' where one can get 55% off of the cost of parts (which they take the highest part cost and deduct it off that)... I can find parts much cheaper on the net.

I agree, ive been reluctant to sign for awhile now and not sure. I really have to talk to them and find out what the whole deal is and everything. Another thing I agree with is that the fact of that charity not showing up online means nothing. Not everything has to have a website.

That's true, not everything has a website. But if this charity truly existed, even locally for SCP there would still be something listed for it. A news article or even a phone number and address from the online phonebooks. Another thing... it seems as though people are wanting more info to make sure this sponsorship deal is legit. Phone calls have been made, parts and orders have been exchanged.... yet on other threads I have been reading NO ONE seems to be getting a final confirmation of information in any respect. Anyone else find that kind of fishy or is it just my overactive paranoia kicking in?

i just have many questions to ask but haven't found the time to call and talk to them. Hopefully soon. I just dont want to be regreting this whole thing in under a year and have penalties....How are you doing with it?

SCP called me up asking me if i wanted to get sponsor. didn't make sence cause i didn't pay the money when i fill out the application. so when they call i gave them my credit card #. i hope this is real but i don't think i'm gonna risk it so i'm gonna give them a call to let them know that i'm not intrested cause once you signed that contract, SCP owneds you.

It isn't that SCP 0wnz joo, but if you do sign the contract then basically you are getting a discount through them on overpriced parts that they are getting for free. If you don't sign the contract then you are out the $79 fee unless you file a fraud complaint with your bank, which I did. But on the flipside, the bank sent me a letter today stating if they find the transaction to be authorized they will then re-take the $79 back and I'll be SOL. Bottom line is either way I'm fucked.

I'm still on the fence about signing it. Not sure if I want to...not in a huge hurry to, either...not like there's a dead line. I called them and talked to some guy there a week or two ago and the questions I asked got the answers I wanted. I asked if we have to pay the whole price for the parts, then get reimbursed later, or if the percentage is taken off from the beginning and he said it's taken off from the begininng. That is good. Another thing I forgot to ask him was, what happens if I need out of the contract...if I need to sell my car or can't do it any more or whatever? What happens to the parts then?

If the charity thing bugs you guys so much, call them and ask for a phone number or website to go to regarding the charity...

thats all the questions i need to ask. all the what if's. Especially about the selling of my car. Oh well we'll see.

Perhaps we should make this a sticky. This is a pretty good reference that most of us will research on later in the future. Keep me up to date guys, I'm kinda staying away from it now, I still couldn't find anything online about Sport Compact Pro. It's as if they were made up yesterday.

i to have to contract sitting in my room trying to decide whether i want to sign it or not. i mean it sounds really good on paper but they way everyone makes it sound the 55% we get off doesnt really work out dince they have th prices so high before u get the discount im not to sure about all of iti dont see how it is a fraud though because it has to much publicity around it to be a scam

What publicity has it gotten? Besides this thread, a website that signs you up for the contract without telling you anything about the company and a full color ad in an imports magazine.



i dont see how it is a fraud though because it has to much publicity around it to be a scam

I think that was referring to this thread.

I know that I'm not a Z series car, But it does have a Z-11A chassis ;-p
(3000GT)
I hope you dont mind me posting in on your thread.

We'll Ive got the contract beside me signed already i was just looking up somethings on it b4 i sent it back and other than the site i signed up on this is all ive been able to find, I've sat through and read all 4 pages this thread has amounted.
Here's what i've gathered on it. My guess is that SCP is more than likely a new parts company, that wants to make an impression on the import scene, and become a name as big as NOPI, or HIN's but if no one knows of your product company how do you go about getting tuners, and their peers to start using your gear.....Give out sponsor ships !!
they use them and as they grow to trust them, so do their friends.

as far as the part about a full sponsorship.... because the only know your plans and the potential in you, and your car they can only give you a partial sponsorship, and see what they do with it. at renewal if youve seen that "hey this , guy/girl has grabbed this and completely taken off !!!" then yea.
my guess is if your looking for a complete sponsorship its going to be at renewal time.

They only want the best for you, when you look good they look good.
as far as the $80 they already have it, I gave it to them to give me a chance. ( and they even gave you a loop hole to get it back at tax time)

Own!?! they dont really OWN you, you just have to do 4 shows in a year and you can knock that out in a Spring Break weekend ( you know that's Hott!!)

I've always wanted to attend these shows, and this is just the Kick in the pants i needed to do it.

-TurpsGT-

I would have probably blown the $80 on something stupid anyway

thats the most logical thing ive heard about this so far, never thought of it in that sense, but one question, what happens if you dont get 4 apps in a month?

When you say 4 apps in a month i assume that you mean 4 people to apply in a month, I dont have that in my contract so i dont know that answer, But my assumption is that you have to get an average of 4 apps a month which means you need 48 app a year, sooo

you can get 0 apps one month, and 8 apps the next and stay averaged out.
I would say save it until you get to the show and everyone sees your tricked out ride and they'll want to sign up. at the one show you should easily top eager apps. seeking the sponsorship you were.

or if you see some on at a store, or hang out , or something checking out your ride, and turn him on to it.
Shouldnt be that difficult ;-p

-TurpsGT-

** at one show you should easily top 30 apps.***

my contract says that i can refer people and if they get sponsor i get $10 per people but i don't think you have to refer anybody.
what you do have to do is attend atleast 4 car shows within the year of your contract if not then your liable for all the money SPC help you with.

well if you dont attend 4 a year you have to call them and let them know your situation, 4 a year isnt unreasonable, if you call and cancel early you face an $150 early termination fee, and are liable to pay back all you were helped with, but if you dont call your contract just wont renew.

just do it and have fun with it.

-TurpsGT-

well i know with the apps if you done get any one month, then 8 the next you are clear, i want to know if there is a penalty for not making the quota for the month. there are only so many kids that you see that you have to depend on to actually send them in. handing out is one thing, getting them to send it in is another. Even if you have them fill it out right there and send it in yourself, how many kids will do that.

My guess is if your at a boothe then they will fill it out if you send it in.

-TurpsGT-

I called the guy and asked them what the requirements are, exactly, cuz someone told me that you actually DON'T have to do the 4 apps/mo thing. Turns out that it's true. I'm going to send my app in eventually...I just have too much shit going on now.

Does anyone know if the contract offer has an expiration date? It's been a while since they sent it to me and I have not made any contact to them so far. I'm thinking about signing and sending it in near the winter time when I have time to work on stuff. Will my offer have an end to it or can I just send it in anytime I want?

ight so here is the deal with SCP...My friend in sponsord by them and he likes it alot..1 thing i read that you think you gonna get 55% off...WRONG...you get UP TO 55% off...so they can tell you ight well were only gonna give you 5..also if they dont have it and gotta order it then your % goes down and you then have to pay shipping...

some FAQ's....
What is i sell my car: they transfer everything over to your new car..aka all the paperwork...(not work you done on your car) then they work with you on that(your new car).

SCP Does make DVD's and Does have a magazine also.

The 4 apps a month is only for the scouting program...if you dont wanna be a scout you dont have that...thats means not having the reliablilty on you shoulders..

any other questions just ask me....ill answer them...

Also how much money did they offer all you?

I still had my old application and I just threw it out a few months ago... there was an expiration but I don't remember how long it gives you. It should say on your app.... mine was stamped in red.

i think they offered most of us up to 12k. also the guy i talked to told me that it is 20-55% off.

So when are you dopes gonna stop being pansies and turn in your app.? I wanna see bad ass parts on your Z's NOW! (Live my hopes and dreams for mine through YOU!)

I've recieved my contract from SCP and it looks promising. The methods for obtaining what gear you need for your car seems a bit troublesome, but beyond that, it looks pretty decent.
Besides, if they like what you've done with your car after twelve months, they give you a bonus to do with as you will.
You also get spots in the yearly DVD if you compete. I'm planning on hitting the NOPI Nats for Scorched Earth and Drag. I've got a bit more info if you'd like.

If you don't turn in your app before the expiration date, do they refund your money?
And what magazine do they own? The closest thing to Sport Compact Pro is Sport Compact Car.

ok, i just got a sponsor with them to, but im still waiting for my paper work and stuff. but the only things i gotta do is go to 4 cars shows with 20 or more cars. yeah also, what do the stickers look like? and what r the links to those sites? i want to see if this is worth it or not.(i knew this was to good to be true, this is just my luck)

hey how much r they paying you guys? they said theyd give me 1200.

hey everyone. I just wanted to pop my head in and ask a few Q's if i may. I'm not a z owner, however z's and supra's are the only cars i have respect for other the Rx-7's.

I am currently in the middle of building a 500rwhp fc3s and i called scp today and they asked me about the car and then the dude on the phone went to talk to the application's lady to see if i was accepted. Now heres what the dude told me today

the aplication fee was something like 30 some bucks ( he stated 30 something 4 times) and said i have to attend 4 shows a year (not hard, i live in fl) and put 2 stickers on the back of my car.

The guy said 55% off parts and labor. If i refer people to them i got something ( i dont remember what he said, my phone was breaking up about then)

I see the last post is 9-12-04, so has anyone done it? What are you experiences.

Ive done some searching and it seems like we are all in the same boat, trying to figure out if we are going to get the royal screwing or not. Has anyone actually bought parts from their company?

I think before i sign anythign i am going to have my lawyer look it over (its good to have family in high places) and make sure its legit.

one last Q. dose anyone know of someone that was turned down? i am thinking about calling them up with a fake pos car ( like a sunfire) and tell them i'm plannin on a bodykit and an exhaust and see what they say. I want to see if they except "everyone" before i sign the contract. If it were this easy every to get sponsored and its such a good deal, why dosent everyone do it?

TurboSmoke

From what I have heard, everyone has been accepted. I still have my app on my table lol. It cost us 89 bucks for the app I believe, or 79. You can get UP to 55% off. The price are overrated from the sites they have gave us and you can find them much cheaper IMO. The only good thing is that if you have a shop near you that they approve you can do free dynos and discounts on labor. It's up to you. I know Stealth has done it but I don't know where he is now. Austin has but he didn't seem that satisfied. You also have to hand out apps as well per month. I don't think it's worth it. I'm sure you can find a better sponsorship if not, it's not worth it anyways.

i also got accepted long time ago but it didnt feel right so i just put it up.

yeah i also, got accepted. he gave me some bull**** line about how he only has a couple more spots to fill in my area. i talked to him a couple of times. every time i talked to him, i shyed farther and farther away. i also heard that the companies they go through jack up the prices so by the time you get done with your percentage off, you didnt end up spending less money. its UP TO 55% off. so im betting that you usually get like 5% off or 10% off. not worth that hassle in my opinion. plus i dont want a show car.

well the dude told me 30 somethign bucks, so if they charged 80 to it i'm gunna have someones ass on my wall.

hello! i filled out the online application but nerver actually submited it, on 9/13/05 kirk from scp called ans said i had applied "bull" i say dont do it they take anybodys money. i have a 97 diamante most companys dont make performance parts for this car. that should tell us something.
