SSM - what happened to them?

[GTO Assassin]

They've gone missing over on other car sites too. Tried asking a few members here via the chatbox what had happened but really didn't get anything clear. Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a heads up?

Thanks.

No idea, but I've been following those threads on 3Si, feel sorry for the customers involved.

I'm still in contact with them? sent them a email and got one back about a week ago?

[GTO Assassin]

Yeah. It's shitty because I understand the mods can only do so much, but some of them there (and here) knew about Warren working there yet didn't pass on that info. I tried searching here but couldn't find anything. Would be nice to know what happened and why they aren't sponsors here.

Glad I didnt go with the FMIC from them and decided to wait.

And exactly where do you make the assumption that they "didn't pass on that info". Also, the information the moderators had was from things that members posted publicly on the forums. So everything they "knew" wasn't privileged information. What, they were supposed to jump into every thread SSM started and say hey they employ Warren? Sorry, but it seems to me that people are trying to lay blame in the wrong direction. In fact, I haven't seen SSM lay any blame at Warren's feet. And I haven't heard about SSM turbos blowing up, which was Warren's MO.


Also if I remember correctly, I can go back and find the posts/threads, several members came to the defense of Jesse (the owner of SSM).

warren hasn't worked for SSM for a while--from what jesse has publically stated.

that said, a deadline has been reached for me, with ssm. my order has been in with them since february--so i feel that i've given them sufficient time to deliver.

jesse has about 36 hours left to respond. i will update this thread with additional information--good or bad--as it is provided to me.

for the record, i have REALLY tried to give jesse the benefit of the doubt on this. over a month ago (probably 2) i wrote him a lengthy PM addressing the plummeting impression that SSM was having in the 3/s community. i spoke at length about wanting to be a satisfied customer--and how i would be incredibly vocal on ssm's behalf--if he could provide me that experience. in my own words, he NEEDED me (or someone like me) to help salvage his company's image. as of yet, i haven't heard of one single ssm customer with an installed turbo-kit; let alone one satisfied with the performance thereof.

i will not disparage or comment further until my hand is forced.

Eric signed a package that Patryn sent about a week ago, returning a failed product. That was after he was supposedly fired.

A couple months ago I plugged SSM everywhere I could, because new shops need the exposure. Felt that they had potential to do great things for the platform.

They failed.

I made a nice big thread about it and everything. Everyone decided to ignore it.

Im guessing they tried to do too much at one time.
