Hey everybody, been a long time since I have logged onto 6GC! A few friends of mine have called me informing me of some less than flattering comments being made about me on this site, regarding past customers. I want to start out by saying I have not been accepting orders from 6gc members for the past 2 months now, and will not be accepting orders from this point on. I am not a vendor, nor did I ever claim to be. I an just a car enthusaist like everyone else here...and had a great connection to JDM imports. I pasted this connection onto the community, and yes made a few bucks at it. But this was/is NOT my lively hood. I have a full time job, very busy personal life, and personal projects going on just like everyone else...then factor in the JDM importing stuff, and you can see how quickly I could fall behind on the LARGE volume of sales that have come my way over the past year.

When I first started, I was only selling about 15 motors a year....then after the first year, I sold almost 50. There is sometimes problems with shipping, wrong parts, broken parts, missing parts, etc...so when dealing with a volume of 50 motors a year...I had trouble keeping up with everyones questions, problems, installs, tech help, etc. I dont have the time, or the patience for that matter, to deal with engine sales anymore.

As for past customers, you all have my phone number and I am not running from anyone. I have never ran in the past, and I am not running now...so please dont spread rumors. I am dealing with JAPAN, and I can only relay the information I get from them, to YOU. If I am given wrong information, then you are given wrong information. If I am sent wrong parts, then I cant send you the right parts. This is the nature of the beast...and lately there has been an ABUNDANCE of miss communication among my suppliers, customs, suppliers, etc. Bear with me and EVERYONE will get exactly what they paid for.

As for me, I look forward to putting this behind and becoming more active in the community like I used to. No more pushing parts, ordering parts, importing parts, tearing apart half cuts, stripping engines, etc....LOL unless I need it for my cars of course I look forward to pushing the envelope again, putting the cars on the rollers and posting numbners, turning doubters into believers about what can and cant be done on these engines. I look forward to just truely enjoying my cars and working on them like I used to, before it becae a "JOB" I wont be back on this site for a while, so for those that want to get in touch with me, you all have my number. I havent even looked up the "I hate Jim threads" yet, as I feel everything was covered in this post. For my many friends/followers on this site, please direct anyone "bad mouthing" me to this post and have them call me.

Thank you 6GC, and I look forward to posting numbers of both my alltrac and my Blue Celica. Everyone stay tunned!!!

luckily I have never gotten screwed by anybody on here, but there is something that I would like to add. I have never done business with Jim and I don't know him, but one thing I do know is that when somebody takes the time to offer a service that they charge money for, and the customer is left waiting after paying with no product, that is called fraud. Plain and simple. If you can't fullfill the orders because you took too much on your plate, that is not the customer's fault, problem, or responsibility. There are far too many excuses (I've read the threads, and it's bullsh!t). Too many customers have been lenient and they are getting walked all over. Sellers, if you can't hold up your end of the deal and produce the paid for service or item, then you refund ALL of the money that was paid to you, clear and simple. That's how it goes. What happens when a seller takes the money and a customer gets no item/service that they paid for? It becomes a legal matter! Now I'm not trying to "stir the pot" or anything, but seriously this Jim has made thousands (or at least was paid thousands by members here) and it seems that many of you are left with NOTHING. You know what I would do? Pay that $25 filing fee for small claims court and let the judge take over. Re-read Jim's post and he says that he'll keep getting imported parts for HIS cars, but what about YOUR money that is owed?? Jim, you know what you need to do? And it's a bit ridiculous that somebody has to tell you this, but you need to put YOUR cars aside, REFUND everyone that you took money from, and MAKE IT RIGHT. Small claims only has a $3,000 cap but it sounds like more than that is due to your customers, so it could get ugly for you pretty quick unless several small claims court cases start getting filed by different customers.... that's gonna be a lot of court fees that you'll have to pay. You'll probably have to sell your cars to try and cover it, did you think about that Jim? Probably not. It is a really crappy situation and you have nobody to blame but yourself, yeah times are tough for EVERYONE and people trusted you to deliver, and you haven't, so how does that NOT make you a scammer and guilty of fraud?

Makes me think twice about buying from anyone on here, seems like more people are getting desperate for money and so good people are getting taken advantage of. Online transactions are still transactions, and are 100% valid in court. Hope everyone that has money owed will file that $25 fee, call it an attention getter!!
