    I confirm that, in the past I asked Matt to buy some parts and he told me I don't need them, instead of saying nothing and sell it to me. Even last week I asked him for some parts and he told me he has them, but I should buy something else that would be even better (that he doesn't sell).

    One thing I like and respect a lot from Matt (like Ray) : he is knowledgeable person (vendor) that know is sh!t and is actually POSTING, ANSWERING, INFORMING, HELPING people! Where do you wanna brings your business to ?? To vendors that don't post any valuable info, who in fact never post except when they have something for sale or to show off ? Sure, they don't expose them-self to the public and they don't take the risk to be flamed... IMO I prefer seeing a vendor defending himself and helping (contribute) the community freely versus a vendor who never post.

    @TT Eric,

    That is the exact reason why I purchase stuff from Matt.

Well sorry I dont play that game, I call a duck a duck... 14yrs later, I'm still here....


    No-one is telling you what you can and can't say. Just keep in mind people will judge you based on what they see/read. You can call a duck a duck but understand that some people might get offened if they get called a duck


    That was not how it happened, me and my product were jumped all over and I merely defended it. Once again something a vender is never allowed to do. O well


    There is a difference between defending your own product and calling the others LMI. I totally understand that you would want to defend your product but not a single bad things was said about your actual product. Infact it was stated many times that it is the best TD04 turbo available. IIRC what was said was only refering to the price and that for those that don't need the best and are happy with up to 550whp then the 19T-HL was a good option for much less money.


    Your talking about Panpena's thread about his fuel rails, That post was a mistake and was not suppose to be in that thread.

    I deleted it and put it in the correct thread.


    Wasn't aware of that. My bad.


    What exactly did I do that was wrong? Defend my self and post the TRUTH when I was attacked by 2 people in this thread, One who new the truth and was flat out lying, and the other that had no idea what was going on and jumped all over me too (Jfast)? What was I suppose to do just let my self be attacked and say nothing? Not post the PM's that proved he clearly got exactly what he ordered? Whats sad is that is exactly what some of people on these forums expect venders to do when attacked with lies and BS, is just cower down and kiss everybody ass because they bleave "your a vender and we OWN you, because customers buy stuff from you". I'm not sure were that comes from, because the silent majority does not feel that way. It's just the small percentage of keyboard warriors that got beat up allot as kids or did not get enough hugs at home or something. And what this small group of people has such a hard time understanding and makes them so mad is that people like me dont want people like that as customers any way, so I dont kiss there asses and that makes them so MAD.


    This could have simply been resolved via PM. I polite msg from either of you guys [he did say he PM'd you] could have solved this. There was an obvious misunderstanding. You explained to him that shimming was an option but that's not what he wanted. He expected the blue springs [without directly asking for them] This was not his fault nore yours. You both had a different idea of what was needed. JFast was trying to support Sin but it made things worse. I think Sin tried to bury the hatchet with you despite the previous fight on the turbo thread and purchased these from you. I think he got a bit worked up when he felt he got the wrong product. Not surprising considering the previous history.

    LOL! That's what I was thinking. Matt, is that too much for you to just comp him springs? For the record, you were much cooler when you were a nobody.

    Thanks^^. Ya like alread said, i was wrong. Should be end of story. And, I got a great offer on my car. Im not sure if i will sell it. the car is perfect and im not sure i can bring myslef to do it. I am done with 3si and might be done with this site based on the reactions of some. I would like to think i contribute to this site with info and or just lightening the mood with cool topics. But, I dont want to start any wars, and thats why i appologized to Matt. I would like to get passed this with him, but thats up to him. I understand the business side of it will severed, but its my fault. Just understand all i wanted to do was get my wastegates to open at 15psi, not 8-9psi. I did the hand pump check and even shimmed they still crack early. Oh, well...too bad, so sad. I get it. Im not an asshole, or a jackass, just a disgruntled owner who over reacted. period. Its cool, this place isnt going to change my life, neither is Matt. I say whats on my mind and sometimes it gets me introuble. But, i dont take shit from anyone and neither does matt so thats y we butt heads often. Either way, sry for the drama. I actually disrespected Alan and all of you for this shit. Im over it, and hopefully we can get back to normal

    LOL.

    We all say f'd up chit. To not give another chance is narrow minded; everyone should have an opportunity for redemption.

    We all practice this to varying degrees...excercise cyber etiquette & definitely have thick skin...these forums can b brutal.

    Keep the car!

    It's done Mike. You said what you needed to say and so did Matt. Everything else in here is just to get under your skin. Talking shit on the internet is easy and everything you read on it is 100% accurate information, right?

    I revisited the ol site the other day on E-Doggs acct and clicked on a two year old thread in chatter. I was patronized, a bunch of complete bullshit rumors and lies were started, and spread and a lot of people were standing tall behind a keybord. Some of the shit going down was actually criminal. Only way to get past it is to hit (Function + F4) and walk away.

    Interestingly, going back several years later, it really bugged the hell out of me to see wtf went down and what kind of shit people were saying. All I can say is boy people stand tall behind a keyboard and they react much differently in person.

    Hey, wouldn't you know it, nearly two years later all the people talking shit don't have running cars or karma has come back on them full circle in some way shape or form. Quite ironic, actually.

    Lay down your sword and Hit Fn+F4 and go back to doing what you enjoy. Come back when you are ready.
