BEWARE business with FI-R (TurboB15Sentra)

[SR PwrdVA]

DO NOT do business with this guy! He is the most shady person I have ever met. I was promised a full turbo setup three weeks after I paid. We are now going on over 5 monthes. He still will not send me $1500 worth of parts I need to run my car. Excuse after excuse after excuse, I'm sick, i'm outta town, i've been busy, anything to get out of sending me my stuff. You cannot get in touch with this guy to save your life. Does not answer emails and the phone number listed is not in service half of the time. The other half of the time the mailbox does not receive voicemails. The is the worst business I have ever received in my life. The "custom" piping that was supposed to be powdercoated was nothing of the such. Piping was rattle canned and wrapped in seram wrap so when I got them they had lines all in them. To top it off as soon as I touched them the paint chipped off. I will NEVER buy anything from this guy again, and would not send my worst enemy to him. I should have just went with Enjuku or JGY. At least they are reliable and stick to they're word. Now, five monthes after I sent him money in full, I have a car that I cannot run, and half a turbo setup.

I thought this guy had some ties with JGY


btw...where in VA do you live? if this guy is local (in VA) we (as in some people and me) can pay him a visit.

He is in Baton rouge i believe, he also posts on www.sportsnimports.com quite often, so you might wanna check up on there.

[SR PwrdVA]

like aa87 said, he's in LA. Going down there is a last resort seeing as I can never get in touch with him.

[rupertaker1]

He's an hour away from me; PM me, maybe I could help you out.

[SR PwrdVA]

still have not heard anything from this guy...

[sykikchimp]

He posts on FA, and B15sentra.com too.

this seems weird since he has a very good rep on the sentra forums.

He has no ties w/ JGY.
He also posts on the sr20forum. For someone to always be sick or out of town he sure has made some progress on his S13 though.

He has a sketchy rep on all the sentra boards I've seen him on. This isn't the first time I've read about him taking FOREVER and being impossible to get in touch with.

Sorry, SR I wish you could have read all this earlier.

[SlowCoupe]

from what i seen hes a good guy...does good work...i seen most of his customer's rides already and they look damn great...but this is all local though...

First off, let me say that I have posted on sportsnimports.com w/ Travis for the last 2 years almost. He is a good guy and is by no means shady. If you check the progress of his and his costumers cars you will see he NEVER half asses. I will admit that he is proably very hard to get in touch with because he is always doing things for his buisness, but he doesnt do crap. Sorry you seem to have had a "bad" experience, but yours is rare.

Sorry you seem to have had a "bad" experience, but yours is rare.

I don't think its too rare. I searched(he also goes by Travis) on b15sentra.net in the feedback section and this is what I got. He had 5 VERY bad transactions. Go here:

Its so common someone edited a pic of the guy, go here: http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/52/52188/travis.jpg

Also found quite a bit of bad feedback for Travis/Unlucky/FI-R here:
http://www.sr20forum.com/search.php?searchid=436657

I came up with these with very quick searches, I'm sure if I tried I could finder ALOT more.

I'm not bashing the guy, I'm just trying to help inform people before they plunk down the big bucks, thats all.
