I know this isn't exactly maxima related but LittlePiggie is a well-known 3rd gen guy. I imagine you all know John as he is the .org CAI manufacturer. I last talked to him just on the 2nd, but he still owes me a CAI. I'm not worried about the CAI too much I told him to take his time with sending and whatnot.... I'm just wondering where he dissapeared to? No answers to my PM's and his cell phone number he provided in the CAI thread is not functioning anymore. I think a few people know him personally, could anyone help me out in telling me if he's still allive?

 

jeez, today is only the 9th. Sometimes people have a life outside the internet...

 

mabeys he's just busy? did you get a phone number from him before you paid (if you did)? I doubt he would try to rip you off for what ever it costs because he ruin any chance of selling more (worth more than just one)

 

Woah, not even accusing him of anything. It's just that the last I heard, he was going to send asap. I'd expect atleast a notification or something. Just wondering if anyone knew of if he might have went somewhere so I can stop worrying.

 

I believe he is getting ready to move soon, if he has not started already. He hasn't been online much lately (Once kind of late and only for 3-5mins or so). I'll let him know of this thread next time I talk to him.

 

Yeah, that was just couple of days ago, wasn't it, MrGone?

I think he may also be driving back and forth to Bend, Ore., to pick up bends (no pun intended) for his CAIs. I am not sure about that, but if he is, the weather through the passes hasn't been all that great.

 

I think he just bit a little more than he can chew. I saw he put some of these on ebay, and sold them all. I hope he comes through.

 

Wow, thanks a lot guys. It's nice to know that someone knows where he is because I certainly don't. I'm still in no hurry but I appreciate an update. Thanks.

 

Yeah... John hasn't been online much... I'm waiting in anxiousness to see how the VG30E CAI went for him, because I wanted to purchase one from him too...

 

well i did purchase one from him and i havent gotten the piping yet. I paid in full and i havent gotten it yet and this was A LONG TIME AGO. he hasnt responded to my emails or my pm's. i understand there is a life outside the internet but a product was purchased and a verbal agreement made. it was supposed to be getting painted a while ago and i should have had it by now ? littlepiggie wheres the piping. hey look man if you got in over your head and cant finish for some reason at least refund me the money minus filter and adapter. well get back to us i really need my CAI like i saod it been quite some time now.

 

He's pretty dang happy with his. He even made a version II where it goes infront of the battery instead of around it like the stock intake. When we were driving around that was the intake he had on his car.

Nick- Next time I talk to him I'll ask him about it for you.

 

thanks i appreciate it....

 

yeah i hope to hear from him soon. ordered a MAF adapter from him awhile back.

 

Well, he said i was next in the order of people who payed. Fosgate was before me and he was waiting a tad bit longer. He recieved his, because John had told me that he sent mine to him. My kit is supposedly done and waiting to be boxed up and shipped. I'm not in any real hurry or else i woulda complained a long time ago since i did pay at the end of September. I just wanna know where he went and if he's coming back.

 

Well Jack, as you can see John (LittlePiggie) has quite the ration of friends on here, and we are all here in his support. If he flakes out, there are a bunch of locals (and semi-locals) that will go kick his *** for you. However, we will not because he's just very, very, very busy at this time in his life. Me, Shawn, Keelan, Chris, and all the other people that have nothing better to do but sit in front of this comptuer spamming the intarweb forams, will be sure to remind him of this CAIs that he has yet to send out.

He's probably got them all done, and just needs to get them boxed up and sent out. If they're not all done, they're probably very close to, and they'd just need a bit of attention. He has had some other higher priority things interfere with his regular routine of things. I'm sure we can all relate to that.

 

Yeah... I know I can relate!

 

So go help him out! rather than sitting on your "lazyass"

 

Lol, a roadtrip to oregon is sorta the last thing I need. I may have time to come and check this for about 3 or 4 minutes but I certainly don't have time to drive up there. Even though I've considered it since it's not eons away like some of you.

 

Dave couldn't even make a our '3rd gen meet' in Oregon. He does fetch gas cans quite well though.

 

Jack I guess you don't need the d. side window control panel you asked for. I pm'd you about it 3 weeks ago.

 

well last ime i heard ( a few weeks ago) it was painted and just about ready to go. so where is it ?

 

[QUOTE=Jack.]Well, he said i was next in the order of people who payed. Fosgate was before me and he was waiting a tad bit longer. He recieved his, QUOTE]

i haven't recieved anything yet. i'm sure john is very busy with other agendas besides the org. i'm sure he'll deliver what he promised.

 

look If anyone understands busy its myself between work, the wife, not meeting bills, stress over money, my 14 month old daughter and a 2 grand bill for my max plus christmas comming up and my wife grandmother dying its been a hecktic few weeks. However My point is that he took money pretty fast however i have waited a reasonable amount of time for what i paid for. Im not asking much i just want what i paid for my cars gonna be done in a few days and i want to install the CAI.

 

gowireless, It sounds like you really need a CAI... I made one for you in autocad, Here you go...

 

Jack. PM, you get it? Window control panel. You want it?

 

Oh yes, i still need that. Other priorities hit me at the time. YGPM.

 

Hey guys...I know John personally and I also personally delivered piping to him a few days ago. We had a bit of a hold up on production of the pipes over the Thanksgiving time. I know John and he is an honest man. You all have nothing to worry about I promise you.

 

Other priorities? Nah, there are none other than the internet right?

 

thanks at least i have an idea of whats going on ...thanks jack but unless my printer can print that out and have it work on my car its not gonna work..LOL but thanks for trying. what release sutocad are you using i started out on r13 then went to r14 then autoCAD2000 after that release i never really needed it due to a job change. yes its OT but the whole thread is. well please tell little piggie to at least answer his emails it only take 5 mins out of a day trust me i know i can turn my computer on, check and answer email, and turn it off in 5 mins. its like checking your regular house mail.....

 

I'm running 2002 currently at school and home. I just started learning it, my brother is a god at it.

Other priorities meaning transactions and other products like suspension being purchased... I never said I wanted him glued to the inet, I just want to see that he still exists.

 

hey all.

First off I would like to apologize to everyone for my hiatus. I have been busy moving, driving from here to bend, here to portland, and all around town trying to get my life figured out.

I have 3 kits done, 1 ready to mail, 1 almost ready, and one needs to be painted.

see, I moved away from the house where the welder I was using was at so I don't have unlimited access to it anymore like I used to. I have had about 1 hour total with it in the last two weeks and I used that to finish welding up the kit that needed to be painted.

really the reason I haven't sent people their kits is because of money. I have -$1217 thanks to reasons that will be left alone and I have to pay trhe damn bank $250 a month until it's payed off. on top of 100 car payment and 300 insurance. oh, and my mom's leaving me out in the cold.

sorry if I sound bitter, but I'm pretty ****ed off at myself and life.

alright, enough venting.

spipe is right, I'm very overwhelmed right now and I'm trying to get things back in order.

I'll send everyone who needs to hear from me a PM by tomorrow with some additional info.

thanks
-John-

oh, and if anyone needs to talk to me, my phone might be reconnected by saturday. 541-543-3867

 

Wow I had unfortunately guessed as much. Real sorry to hear about your current situation. I am being payed today and can forward you whatever the amount necessary to get my kit shipped so you don't have to further send yourself into debt. I'll look for your pm later.

 

im curious, what happened to the money i sent you then ? money shouldnt be a problem cause i gave it to you for the kit and the kit only....hummmm

 

Hey John, It's cool I've known you'd been havin some hard times and what not. So whenever you get my kit painted is all good. So just send me a PM and we'll see whats up...aiight bro. Peace
Steve

 

yeah, i'm with steve...try to get your life back on track first, worry about sending my MAF adapter later man. the MAF adapter can wait.

 

well i cant if you couldnt complete the sale then please refund. Its like going to best buy, buying a big screen going outside topick it up and they say sorry i have to order it it may be a few months. ... look im not trying to be a dic im really a cool guy but im a buisness man also and business and friendship never come together.

 

yeah but your not dealing with best buy your dealing with a one man operation, and the one man has had some hard times recently, its true you should get your intake, but **** happens man, cut the guy some slack Im sure he's not getting rich from these, he has other things to take care of and Im sure he will make it up, some things we have no control over.

 

While I feel for John's situation, I gotta side with gowirelessnj here.

We all know *** happens, but when it does and you have business arrangements to take care of, you gotta find a way to find a fix, temporary or not. Of the members who bought the CAIs from John (who priced it very fair), many are fine with waiting until John gets everything straightened out. On the other hand, this is a business arrangement, one man operation or otherwise. While business or professional issues don't take priority over personal problems, some kind of solution could easily have been reached.

Perhaps when everything started occurring, notify all of those who paid what was going on and let them know it would be a few months more before they will be done. Kevin has kept everyone updated as to the status of the pods as is Matt about the RSTBs. From the response on this thread and other similar ones, it seems most members wouldn't mind waiting since they realize one person doing this isn't easy, as long as they are notified. However, at the same time, offer a refund if they don't wish to wait and stipulate that if they choose to do so, that too might take some time though it shouldn't take as long as waiting for the product itself. If you already bought the materials, but just haven't had the time to do what you need with it, include that in your response. Again, sympathy is not lost on this community, which is quite apparent from the responses here.

I don't see myself as a dic or anything and I feel for you, John, I really do. All of us have been through our share of hardships and some of us still are, so some of us know where you're at. But when something happens and then it seems we're a little over our heads, it's better to attempt something than to stay quiet and let the skeptics have their say. I hope you're able to sort through what you're going through as quick as possible, John. Then you can go onto making some more products for us 3rd Genners .

Who knows, maybe between Matt & John, the .org is getting a glimpse of 2 new companies out to dominate 3rd Gen modding

 

/beginrant

Seems we're getting down to the nitty gritty on who your "friends" really are John. Lemme know if you need some $$ to get the impatient's off your ***. It seems there are a few of us left that know what "beyond our control" really means. I've been in the same boat and you can quote all those little bull**** tidbits about business you want but being human trumps business anyday!!! This lack of humanity by a few is disgusting. The brother is in hard times...help the poor guy out and stop being so selfish. It's not like he took your money and ran..obviously. To those that this applies to...get over yourselves.

*insert Fight Club theme here...you are not your ******* khaki's*

If I offended anyone...I wasn't trying to be a dic or anything so it's all good

john, dude, please reply to my email. at least tell me something. anything.
