what happened to him? i ordered a haltech kit from him and got it in but he said he would give me a basemap for my current setup. does anyone know what going on with him? i tried messaging him here and sending him a email but no dice.

He posted a Twitter update on the RPSport website that said he was dealing with a family emergency. He may just have been distracted. I'm sure he'll get back to you once things on his end settle down.

He should be back by next month if he hasn't returned yet. Don't worry, he will keep tabs with you as soon as he can...

I'm in the same predicament. I ordered a shim tool from him on the beginning of January. Saw that he had an emergency till mid Jan, no problem. He finally emails me around the 28th and tells me that it won't be ready for 4 weeks. So I ask to get my money back so I can go a different route seeing that it's the only thing keeping me from finishing my motor. He gets back and tells me that he will put me in front of the line and ship it to me within 2 days. So I say OK, I've waited 3 weeks, what's a few days. Fast forward 8 days....Naythin! I did get a paypal notification that he started the process but the postal service hasn't received anything. I tried to call him a few times but all I get is a message. I also emailed him a few times with no response. I know he has a pretty good rep with you guys here on Zilvia, but I'm at my wits end here. I get the feeling that I'm being jerked around. If he can't do what he was paid for just refund my ducketts and call it good. No hard feelings. But I can't wait another month. The whole reason I ordered it was to have it fast. I could have had one made by now. sheesh.

Waiting since Nov for the S13 subframe braces--been fully paid for.

I figure they're just pieces of metal, so I don't know what's taking so long, but again, they're just pieces of metal, so I'm not in too much of a rush to get them, but 3 months is a bit much for this. I hope it's not shipping from China.

I've had the worst luck with waiting for shit for my car

That's kinda shady that he told you 4 weeks, but when you asked for a refund, that bumps you up. So everyone who asks for a refund will get bumped up?

johnbureezu

Still no word from the guy. Damn, how unfortunate.

SBCsx

Nevermind. He got it shipped!

Got my subframe braces today. Took way too long to get them, but at least they arrived--just glad to finally have them :P

I'm going threw the samething. I ordered a shim tool over a month ago. He keeps telling me its done and he is going to ship it. But I have yet to recieve any conformation on shipping. It's definitly frustrating.

WISH ONE

sorta frustrated that i payed the $59.99 +shipping and now the final price on the item is $49+shipping.
I may order another set in the future for another car. I hope I get some $ off.

SO I still haven't recieved my shim tool which I ordered March 21. The website closed down and John doesn't not respond. I'm contacting my cc company to try and take back my funds. I can see this is going to be a shit storm, and I probably going to get screwed out of $240.

Beware of this business and [email protected].

gotya beat. ordered in mid February and still havent gotten mine. I contacted him a few times and he said he was working on making a cnc bracket so he didnt have to make them by hand anymore. That email was in mid march, and now I cant contact him at all. Im PISSED!

I submitted a dispute through paypal. He has ten days to send a tracking number or they give me my money back. I thought it was kinda funny, cause his shipping is 4 to 6 weeks. If it takes that long, paypal will not refund your money after 45 days.

I found another place that makes them. Email Pat at Custon Steel. [email protected]

240Zfunahollic

I emailed custom steel and he replied to me today. He said he's had a few people inquiring so he's going to round up the stuff to do another batch. That being said, i'm out of the 45 day paypal coverage. paypal referred me to some independent government places to try to get my money back etc. How would you guys go about this? I have his contact info that I got off a page that was cached on google. IM PISSED THAT THIS GUY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME.

If you paid via credit card on paypal, just dispute with your cc. AFAIK, the braces were always CNC'd, so dunno about that "hand made" comment?

I paid with my debit card. Havent contacted my bank yet to see what they can do. And as far as the hand made part i think hes talking about cutting and such to fab a bracket. Im just going off of what his last email said. I havent heard from him since.

Placed an order in March for 2 brackets and I haven't gotten anything yet either. Last thing I read was that he would have them shipped in April or something. Now it looks like the website is gone too.

Wave_s13

Got the subframe brace couple months ago. Shipping was fairly quick to Canada.

Was gonna order Haltech units from him as well.. but all his FS threads in marketplace are gone? Maybe not paying his bills..?

carps13guy

i ordered my braces july of 09 and did not recieve them until january of 2010. granted he said he'd give me a discount if i ever needed anything else. but still... atleast the braces stacked up to all the hype, im glad i have mine. but i would make my own if i bought another s13. he just took way too long

Zacho

He must have been online the other day, he canceled a haltech invoice he had sent me via paypal about 3 months ago. I was sent out of town and the car has been on backburner. I'll see how this plays out...

Yuda

Been waiting on my subframe braces since February. John please email me or pm me, I don't wanna open a paypal dispute.

240Zfunahollic

Since I am out of my 45 day paypal dispute period I am attempting to get my money back via other methods. Paypal referred me to Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home which is a website dedicated to internet crime. I am also going to contact my back to see if they are able to help me. I would love to have someone else follow me if they got scammed!

Everyone needs to dispute or file a complaint about this. He is a crook and needs to be exposed before he rip's more people off. Pat at custom steel is the man, buy from him.

DreamN

I wouldn't go as far as name calling. John is a stand up guy. At the beginning of the year I know he had an emergency concerning his family. Unfortunately, I feel that may have been what has caused the current situation.

Though, starting disputes and talking to your credit card carriers is definitely recommended. Money is owed and should refunded.
