[_Jim_]

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!!!

I do have to defend Jim on this one. A little over a year ago, I bought an engine from him. With a couple of days of buying the engine, before he even had a chance to ship it out, things went bad on my end. I contacted Jim and let him know what was up and he went well above and beyond what could reasonably be expected of him as a seller. He always stayed in excellent contact. I never had more than a few hours go by without a returned email/pm. Manny and several other members on here know him personally, and all of them have excellent things to say about him. We know that Manny doesn't put up with any crap so if Jim was out to screw us, he wouldn't be able to do it on this site.

To those that are currently out of money and waiting on parts/motors, I can also say I understand your side. It's pretty crappy to spend that kind of money and wait this long for your stuff to arrive. I don't believe that Jim is out to screw anybody over. However, this isn't the first "I'm waiting on parts from Jim" thread. All of those threads ended with parts received or money refunded.
