OK I know you will let us know.. this is starting to bring back old memories..RB

 

Dude, I find that offensive as hell.

If you want your money back, I'll send it via PayPal right now. Do NOT compare me to that azzhole, or even insinuate it.

IanS

 

I was not trying to offend you..I am just trying to make sure everything goes OK. I have COMPLETE trust in you..it is just hard for me to trust people in the ME.. thats all. Sorry man


Jason

 

Oh, I get what you're saying..that's my bad.

After dealing with the guy in the ME on ordering my MEVI and SpeedTrip's, and researching his business and getting references from his customers, I'm sure he's legit.

I'm not concerned at all that he's going to hurt us in any way.

The worst thing that could happen is that the deal falls through and he sends me the first 50% back, and I refund everyone.

But currently nothing appears to be wrong. To him, SOS! may mean "Pay attention to this E-Mail, the VI's have arrived!"

Who knows. I'll give more information when I have it.

IanS

 

Yeah, I live near DC. Catch me on the local board or pm me.

 

well, for the record. you have at least one willing for a second group buy! sucks that this one's done...

 

Make that 2 people willing for another group buy.

 

Allright I will hit you up when this stuff all comes through.
Thanks

 

No problem, looking forward to it.

 

correction, 3 people...

 

and you are wrong as well, add me in

 

Bad news everyone.

My supplier is telling me it will take another month. They got the manifolds, but are waiting on 14005M (manifold cover).

There's not much I can do except wait. If any of you need your 50% back that you just gave me, let me know. If not, I'll just hold onto it for a month.

I'm exceptionally sorry. Because of this I probably won't do another GD, unless people are willing to wait this long again.

IanS

 

damn, another month. Oh well I guess the nitrous will keep me content.

 

Probably gonna be busting knuckles in the cold

 

God, I certainly hope not.

 

Yeah that would suck.. oh well keep us in good faith

 

same price and everything..... i would definitely be in for a VI on the next group deal. would this one possibly be with the rpm switch and all of that crap. thanks ian. also, would i have to perform any other mods before i did this?

 

No, no RPM switch included, but I'm going to try and get some Solenoids. But no promises on that.

You don't need any ohter mods to make this work.

Anything new?
Thanks




PS: BUMP

 

About 3 weeks now......

It's a holiday (Friday is the Sabbath in the ME), so I probably won't tlak to him today. I'll try and get a hold of him tomorrow night.

IanS

 

I really want in, too...

-Josh

 

Like I said, we'll see. More interest is coming along than I thought would.

Let's see how many people actually pay up when it comes time on a new GD.

last time, 25 people said they wanted one, but only 6 came through.

IanS

 

Add me to the next group deal, for the vi. Money is ready when you are.

 

Ian check your pm

 

ian, i haven't heard anything from global-threat. is he still willing to give up his spot in this gd? if so, let me know. if not, let me know as well. thanks a lot

 

Please send me PM's or E-Mail for this sort of matter.

And no, Global is keeping his car and his spot.

IanS

 

OK, I sent my guy an E-Mail asking for an update.

he responded with this:

Anyone able to translate Engrish???

not yet.
expected to come early next month.
u have more order.
beacause,possible to come more parts (for 5 cars)

by for


If it means what I think it means, I'll be able to do a GD of 5 next with only a 3-week shipping time total.

IanS

 

OK thanks for the update!!

Hay thats not fair we had to wait for ever!! I'm just kidding thanks for the update. Yeah those people need to work on their Engrish.

Thanks,

Jason

 

No, seriously, need an Engrish to English translation book.

I'm not sure what the heck he means.

IanS

 

I would like one of the five...I have the cash waiting for you when you're ready...

-Josh

 

You have my number Ian, just call me when you know...

 

Well if he means for sure that you can get it for five more cars. Add me to the list...THANKS

 

I spoke with my supplier this morning.

He is calling his supplier in the morning and will contact me tomorrow with both the status of the 1st GD and exactly how many he can get for the 2nd GD.

(see the 2nd GD thread if interested in that)

So we should have a solid news update hopefully sometime tomorrow. Theoretically, they have been shipped and will be at his place within the next few days.

IanS

 

Thanks for the update IanS. Can't wait

 

So did you talk to him?

 

Just talked to him....

I'm really ****ed off right now. he says he sent an E-Mail to his suppplier 2 weeks ago and hasn't gotten a reply.

I said "Well why don't you call him?"

He said "I'll try, but it may be another 30 days"

I said "Fine, but if it's any later than September 30th that they are on my doorstep, i want my money back, because my customers I know will start wanting their money back."

This freaked him out and he said he would call his supplier today.

Hopefully the parts were sent a month ago, and they will be on his doorstep this week. But there's a possibility they didn't.

That's all i can say. I just don't have any other information, except that they SHOULD be here next week, but it MAY take until the end of September.

I'm trying to be as honest as possible with you guys, and I'm REALLY sorry for the delay.

Hopefully you can all bear with me.

IanS

 

*sigh*

 

I feel ya..............

 

I know man...I am SO pizzed off right now.

I may close the 2nd GD, just because I don't want to deal with this anymore.

I have threatened that either I get the MEVI's quickly, or I get the 50% I sent him back.

Hopefully that will be incentive enough. i know it's not his fault, but it is his responsibility either way, and therefor my responsibility.

It will get worked out. Don't fret.

IanS

 

OK, I talked to my man tonight.

I feel just a little better.

Apparently the problem was that July/August is the holiday of Obon
in Japan, and a large number of the people at his supplier were on vacation, causing problems.

He received 1/2 of the last of the parts today. He is still missing the butterflies,1 Butterfly rod, and one manfifold cover, and that's it.

He's working hard trying to get them air shipped to him so it only takes a week.

So it looks like hopefully it will be 1 week before they are ready to ship to me.

Although I still have to say at the LATEST it will be the end of September.

I'm really sorry about this guys, but it's the best I can offer right now as far as info goes.

IanS
