Wow, after reading this thread, seems there no end to this.

From personal experience. I spoke to Eric a few time. I was, at one point in time, a potential invester. After looking into it further, I decided that it's not something that was worthwhile.

The only thing that I wanted to add, that seems VERY fishy at this present time to me is - When I was speaking to Eric in regards to the investment, I was TOLD that there WAS a shop front and I was provided pictures of the shop. I was sent three different pictures, pictures consided of their forklift, a above ground dyno, and a picture of the front of the shop with a couple of done up WRX and an EVO. According to a couple of threads above and also according to a Darkside staff, they DO NOT have a store front, so where did these pictures that claimed to be their shop come from?

For those that may think I am adding oil to the fire, I have ALL EMAIL communication between Eric and I saved, as well as these pictures that he claimed to be his shop and assets.

i dont post on here becuse like i said i get tired of defending myself against peoples shit talking that have nothing to do with it.
AS FAR AS WORKING NIGHT AND DAY TO FIX THIS, what do you think we do? we both have 2 jobs, one to support ourselves and one to support the business,
as far as store front Ian, the pics you had were from the shop we were using, weve since moved out as you can read a few pages back, and as i told you on the phone, "we need a bigger space"
we dont even have a "shop" open anymore, at the moment i dont see pouring money i dont have into a shop being the best idea when we really dont need it now. we thought it would be neccesary when we recieved the motors.
the equipment we had has since been returned or sold.
SKYLINES we are still selling cars but right now there are no skylines in stock.
im not sure who you are that is wanting a skyline but right now is not a good time, we have a few other cars in stock and available that we are trying to get rid of but no skylines.
we will open another store front when we get all this cleared up and we feel that it is needed,
probably around febuary, but there will be NO MORE GROUP BUYS for motors, if its not in stock go somehwere else. its just not worth all this.

Hello,

I would just like to say that as far as I know, everything Darkstarsucksballs said is correct. Eric Dillon has only failed at business attempts. What's funny is that I don't beleive any of those businesses were even his, but the REAL owners just kind of let him tag along, because they knew he would invest money (provided by grandparents, I was told?) into their shops.
Jordan seems to be the real joke here. This kid hasn't had a real job....ever. He had no business affiliation with Works Yamaguchi, even though he sure loves to act like he does! My friends that frequented the shops regulary told me that he basically sat around, playing video games the whole time. And a drifter? He drove a Grand Am. Never had a car to drift in. Talk about frontin!
Enough of him...back to the point!
"Darkstar Developments" or whatever, is a JOKE! It's sad that you kiddies can't realize this on your own, when you waited what, 9 months for motors/refunds? Did any of you even do any reseach on them? I have an interesting link to post later, something available to the public, that you all should have looked at. There is no shop, never was a shop. They don't work, but rather feed off of other people. Neither Eric or Jordan have held real jobs, unless you consider 'shop owner' a real title. When you don't have a shop. Hmm.
I'll enlighten all of you a little more later.

black95se

ive known eric for 3 years. he is not a crook. just the victim of very bad luck.

and most of these accusations seem like they have stemmed from personal conflicts with other people in indianapolis then business conflicts.

Thanks for your time.

its ok. just seems there are alot of guys out to get them nowadays for some reason.

I understand your apprehension. You have to understand mine as well. Being in Indiana, it is more difficult to find a specialty car seller. I especially do not have time to deal with a company if this is actually not legit. That is why I am watching this thread. I really am not interested in 240s so much as I am the company.

Because I have been doing my research, I went and looked up Darkstar for business license in Indiana. There is a Darkstar Development (no 's') out of Rochester, but not Indianapolis. It was also created in 2000. I honestly cannot find any record of this company. If you do not believe me... try here. https://secure.in.gov/sos/bus_servi...rps/default.asp
I am trying to buy a car, so i am playing my cards conservatively and just waiting for their shop to open. The more i know, the better off i am in the long run.

Good luck to you as well. I hope everything works out in your favor.

LOOK GUYS i just gave my business license on her last page, if you cant find it your not looking in the right place, go to the marion county hall of records and ask them, we recorded the name and all likes of the name to protect it, now i dont really care who you are that thinks they know either jordan or I,
infact i dont really get what your thinking your going to get out of trying to slander us,
the fact is the facts, we have 3-4 people to pay back, this may take all of 2 weeks,
after there paid back what are you going to have to talk shit about that is factual?
and whoever was interested in a car like i was saying, we will have a shop open around valentines day,
we really dont have the money to open a shop the right way right now, getting these motors rebuilt and group buy paid back is our first concern.
after that things will be back on track and hopefully on its way back to the right track, again i appologise for what happened, and if you guys that were originally on the group buy need a motor down the line we will honor the cost of 1300 as originally the deal.
and i appologise for all the bullshit that this thread is being filled with, the ones that are posting this(i wont say any names) for some reason have had a problem with me personally for years, they have done nothing but talked shit since i opened redline back in 01, if it is who i believe it is they had 2 failed shops themselves, if you want to call them shops it was out of there garage.
pot meet kettle.

HA HA...Ok kid, First.

Ive been working since i was 14. Ive had Multiple jobs, When i was at Works Yamaguchi i delivered pizza for Dantos on 116th and Michigan. Call them and ask Cynthia Head. Ive owned 4 S13s since i was 14, i drove a GA yes..It was free...Good job on that one. Ive also owned a Kouki S14 when i lived in Utah.
And a Datsun 280z...

Other jobs-
Papa Johns-14
Marsh-15ish
Gymnastics coach-Dont ask
Mechanic
blockbuster
Cellular Tech
Danatos
Utility Trailor
Pep Boys

Ive had plenty of jobs.

There seems to be alot of people who claim to know me but fail to bring anything other then little items to the table. Stop trying to call me out when you dont know me kid. Since you know who i am and exactly everything ive done in life..Tell me who you are, im curious as to who my shadow is.
Its getting a little old having you guys talk this shit and not have any proof of anything to back up anything you say.

Works Yamaguchi-

I did more then Ryan Stevens or Scott whatever his name was put together, Ryan sat on the computer and watched gay porn all the time, played playstation. Samads S14 sat in the shop waiting on Ryan to touch it for ever. I delt with more customers then Ryan could count in his head. Josh was the smartest one there. We all had our share in fuckin around becuse it was like a big ass hang out instead of a buisness...We couldnt do anything becuse Ryan Stevens failed to pay any bills, fucked people and then bailed.

But im sure you know the exact details becuse you know exactly whats going on becuse your friend who heard it from a friends mother that heard from her friends hairdresser who got it from her gay lover who told there uncles dog told you right....Exactly

Everyone from Indiana who has came on here and spouted more sewage from there mouth then there is in the White River should come clean and tell everyone who they are, how they know what they know and why they should even be belived. Just saying things isnt really gonna do anything...I WANT HARDCORE PROOF...Nuff Said

*INDEED* heh...

This was a VERY entertaning read.

Why use paypal to give refunds if your account had been locked and you'd already had all that trouble? All of everything here just seems far too fishy and coincidental to just be bad luck.

I just don't know what to say...I figured people that would go as far as to get $30,000 worth of shit shipped to them would at least have the sense to check if there were any potential hangups...there are so many illogicalities here on DD's part I don't even know what to say or think. All of the shit they didn't do would be the first things wise people would do when throwing down $30k (or was it $40k? w/e).

LaRusse01

"i delivered pizza for Dantos on 116th and Michigan."

At what point in time did 106th street become 116th, or is numbers and working not your strong suit?

"But who would know..Screen names are masks."
s13drift I see you are early for halloween as well!

LaRusse01

POST UP THE PICTURES!!! Which shop were they trying to pass off as their own? Aren't you glad you did not invest?

HalveBlue

I think anyone that wasn't directly involved in this debacle needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Those who were involved should talk to Darkstar in private.

Obviously most people have already gotten their money back, and I'm sure the three who are still waiting (of which, by the way, I am one) will get soon.

To all the 1 count posters (although I'm pretty sure it's really only 1, maybe 2 people), unless you can get me my money any faster, you're not contributing anything.

If these guys' reputation was so horrible, you should have come in the very beginning of this group buy to warn us. As of right now, all your comments are unecessary and useless. So, again, unless you can get me my money or engine any more quickly please heed my advice from the first sentence.

Thanks.

s13Dr1ft

116th was a simple mistake..

Yes screen names are masks, your still unknown while everyone knows my name.

Yes Mark, these people are a rash..They still have yet to prove anything they talk about, There is no proof. How can someone come on here and say ive never had a job...That makes me laugh. I got a job to make some money up from this container.

This is getting stupid now, im going to have this thread take away. Too many people that were not involved have an opinion. the people that are still in it know how to contact us.

LOOK THE FACT IS THAT NONE OF THIS MATTERS, this is retarded and its just escalalting stupidity, AGAIN WHY MAKEA BIG DEAL OUYT IF THIS NOW? teh ones that ARE owed refunds have my info, and if the contact me i get vack to them asap.
so what the point of coming into a board you are not even a member of to bash someone you dont know.

darkstardrifter

and even though none of your facts were true , what would it matter with anyones past is?
i dont think thats gonna get mark, anthony, or sol there refunds any faster.
your just here to stir shit up that you have no business being apart of. the best part is i have never met any of you, not one of you do i know or would know if i seen you on the street.
AGAIN IF YOU ARE NOT OWED A REFUND YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS POSTING.
SO TAKE YOUR BITCHING BACK TO INDY CARZ!
SO THAT MEANS THERE SHOULD BE 3-4 PEOPLE POSTING

darkstardrifter

I HADNT SEEN THIS TIL NOW,
why use paypal to give refunds well i had money paypal'ed to me that was left to me when my dad died.
so i figured i had already started another paypal accoun and the money was in there what could it hurt.
luckily i had gotten most of the refunds out before it got taken,
hence why theres ony 3 now.
now as far as the 30k well that was my fault, we were already in a hangup becuase we couldnt get any info from the port authority becasue "we were not the shipper"
so when we got the ok i just jumped on it.
we were paying someone else to bring them in, that was our first mistake and it wont happen again.
we have our stuff now, is it in good shape, not really. but if insurance can claim it and we can get reembursed for it we can pay back the loan and call it a day, ony about 15 lost at that point.
and maybe be able to make that up with the stuff inside the container.

like i said this container has been a nightmare, due to lack of planning lack of involvement on our part,this guy made it to easy to trust him to much when he really doesnt care, he made his money and really doesnt care whether or not we make ours. bad planning yes, scamming anyone? no

darkstardrifter

i jsut spoke with kalvin from 8120 performance and he assured me it wasnt he who had posted on here, so for slandering his business and him personally i would like to appologise, i wasnt aware that 8120 performance was still open so i was wrong on that point , any how i just wanted to clear that up, im not trying to be a dick to thewrong people

obsolete

so you did get your shipment?

mrmephistopheles

Closed.
For those of you that have problems, resolve them through the proper official channels if you're not getting satisfaction.
For those of you that are stirring the pot, I'm keeping my eye on you.
