Hey everybody, been a long time since I have logged onto 6GC! A few friends of mine have called me informing me of some less than flattering comments being made about me on this site, regarding past customers. I want to start out by saying I have not been accepting orders from 6gc members for the past 2 months now, and will not be accepting orders from this point on. I am not a vendor, nor did I ever claim to be. I an just a car enthusaist like everyone else here...and had a great connection to JDM imports. I pasted this connection onto the community, and yes made a few bucks at it. But this was/is NOT my lively hood. I have a full time job, very busy personal life, and personal projects going on just like everyone else...then factor in the JDM importing stuff, and you can see how quickly I could fall behind on the LARGE volume of sales that have come my way over the past year.

When I first started, I was only selling about 15 motors a year....then after the first year, I sold almost 50. There is sometimes problems with shipping, wrong parts, broken parts, missing parts, etc...so when dealing with a volume of 50 motors a year...I had trouble keeping up with everyones questions, problems, installs, tech help, etc. I dont have the time, or the patience for that matter, to deal with engine sales anymore.

As for past customers, you all have my phone number and I am not running from anyone. I have never ran in the past, and I am not running now...so please dont spread rumors. I am dealing with JAPAN, and I can only relay the information I get from them, to YOU. If I am given wrong information, then you are given wrong information. If I am sent wrong parts, then I cant send you the right parts. This is the nature of the beast...and lately there has been an ABUNDANCE of miss communication among my suppliers, customs, suppliers, etc. Bear with me and EVERYONE will get exactly what they paid for.

As for me, I look forward to putting this behind and becoming more active in the community like I used to. No more pushing parts, ordering parts, importing parts, tearing apart half cuts, stripping engines, etc....LOL unless I need it for my cars of course I look forward to pushing the envelope again, putting the cars on the rollers and posting numbners, turning doubters into believers about what can and cant be done on these engines. I look forward to just truely enjoying my cars and working on them like I used to, before it becae a "JOB" I wont be back on this site for a while, so for those that want to get in touch with me, you all have my number. I havent even looked up the "I hate Jim threads" yet, as I feel everything was covered in this post. For my many friends/followers on this site, please direct anyone "bad mouthing" me to this post and have them call me.

Thank you 6GC, and I look forward to posting numbers of both my alltrac and my Blue Celica. Everyone stay tunned!!!

I have contacted the few members who are awaiting completion of there orders. Everyone is satisfied with the outcome and understanding of the situation.

I have NEVER recieved money from a member here and ran, and I never will. These last few customers were MISSING something, or had BROKEN items with there purchase. An easy oversight or more likly shipping damage. I have been in contact with them to ensure they do in fact have everything they paid for. The time constraints come from dealing with parts that are NOT found on US soil. So I have to deal with overseas. I have to wait for a container to come in, have in clear customs, inspect which engines will be parted, then get the customers there items. Shipping alone can take up to 3 months by the time the container is loaded.

As for "making excuses," I have no need to justify what happened anymore then I have...ESPECIALLY to members who have never done business with me. I have spoken with the few members with outstandings orders, and have been doing everything in power to make everything right by them. As far as I am concerned, everyone is happy with the outcome, and glad it is behind us. They may have waited an AWFUL long time (some of them) but that was really out of my control.

Thank you 6GC
