Gauging interest in custom sidemount intercoolers w/9.75" x 11.75" x 4.5" Bell Cores

[Greg E]

I'm bitching and surprised because there was an outright bidding war on my old sidemounts between 5 individuals.

That's because you actually had a tangible product in your hands -vs- advertising you're going to build something to sell.

Don't get me wrong. I really seriously do want a QUALITY SMIC kit for my car. I would fork over the $$ right now without any second thought if I had it to spend. My wedding and a few other things have my finances tied up for a bit.

Now, that was absolutely tasteless.














Downright atrocious, really.

A little too far probably and totally unnecessary but it doesn't get forgotten until a person redeems his or herself. There's a difference between wanting people to look up to you because you try so hard to impress them that it backfires and just imparting knowledge from personal experience to help people. Both happen but sometimes one rules out over the other when pride gets in the way. I don't mean offense to anyone and I tend to say it how it is. I've already gone enough OT. I agree if people have a finished sample product already they're more willing to be interested especially with data backing it up. Too many individuals have been burned over false promises so some have a hard time committing to it. I don't think there's a large market but definitely one their. You may have to consider converting DSM smics for a more budget friendly product.

That which he is banned from. 3.1L + 19Ts are the best! Porsche V8 twin turbo copied dyno graph didn't get Mr. Drmbldr too far. Someone else would have to advertise it there and last I checked autoforums throws a fit on 3SI even for group buys without a sponsorship. Sadly enough most of the interest would probably be over there.

Yeah it's true, I blew my top and posted some stupid shit. So what, I apologized. I took a hefty suspension from Alan for it and came back with a different screen name as was suggested to avoid future drama. I cleared the air with everyone including Alan at 3stech and he allowed me to come back. Everything was going to fine as a matter of fact and I was earning positive rep an not acting like a d****** douchebag anymore. If you want to know why J. Fast was booted off of 3si... I was booted because I tried to start a group buy for the carbon fiber doors and I PMed dbest to set up seller: verification for the group buy and she or her husband banned me from classifieds for it... for no reason. I spoke with April over the phone and she said she thought I had some secret profiler or some stupid shit. I clearly explained to her that Alan allowed me back underneath J. Fast screen name as was discussed at 3stech. I chewed her ass for yanking my seller status, because I tried to follow the rules and setup a group buy. sharkbait didn't like how I chewed her ass and came off so he banned me.

I try to do right and do good things, volunteer my time, build cool shit, try my best to redeem myself , be a good example for my kids (now that I have them), people still have their own opinions. Frankly, I'm at peace with my apology and past and what gifts and opportunities god has presented.

I really didn't like what you just said and how you said it. I'll just wait for karma to spin itself around back at ya. You know what's ironic, every single person that's snicker'd and smeared at me has had terrible things happen to them. I wish you the best.

Um yeah you never chewed my ass for anything asshat, and I wasn't even the one who banned you. In fact, I even stood up for you in the beginning. Your story about the CF doors didn't match the story the producer was giving me... that's what stopped that group buy.

My bad, you're right... It was your husband. You apologized, we spoke about it, I'm over it.

And that group buy... Yeah, it was so much internet bullshit... that in reality it happened and $15,000 passed thru my hands. Let's not talk about creating something from nothing tangible results tho.

I realized a long time ago, sometimes if you need to get something done you have to do it yourself. You guys want sidemounts... never mind, you'll figure it out. Do it yourselves.

I'm bitching and surprised because there was an outright bidding war on my old sidemounts between 5 individuals. I actually think two people are not on speaking terms now because of it. I was asked to reproduce them. Two individuals have stepped forward, I'm looking for 3 more.

Have I ever collected any money for a group buy and been entrusted with large sums of money from board members? Yes, I have. I collected over $15,000 for carbon fiber / fiberglass doors. Stas, Andre, Erron , Self.

I've been entrusted with checks totaling over $20,000 dollars prior to work commencement from Erron S, and another $40,000 from J. Elkins.

In the past 3 years I've sold and had direct responsibility of over $100,000 from a total of 8 members on this board alone. There's stuff going on all the time its just nobody talks about it because some believe in privacy and non disclosure.

Good to see you kept their anonymity. Bolded for effect.

If you add the guys I made mention of the total is $175,000. That's from 7/2011 thru now, 30 months. I don't walk with greed. I don't need the car money either. I do it as a hobby. I earn my check as a forensic engineer and reconstruction expert. I understand the engineering and I can build it.

Thread... Timewaster. Sorry Steven I'm out, don't care.

Pics of scoobie parts you've made would've sufficed...

Um yeah it wasn't my husband either. IIRC, I asked for a couple of days to get stuff straightened out, but no you had to go create another screen name. And then you admitted to having 20+ log-in from other people and "dsupraman" started a thread on your behalf that was traced to the very IP address you used just earlier that day. You said that it was not you, but a friend that was at your house on your computer (or something along those lines after the IP address came out)... but then you admitted to having other people's log-in. That is the reason why you were banned and there was nothing I could about it after that.
