I've already emailed him at both his addresses and left a voice mail as of today expressing that I want out and my money back.
Who here has gotten a refund or will contact him to do the same?
We can use this thread to keep track of who has requested refunds and who has gotten one. So, post with your status and I'll make the list here up top.
JPK - requested refund-still waiting
Tom01SC2- Refunded but with slight complications
goofyguy - Requested Tracking # or refund by Monday 4/11
BTW- here is his contact info to make it easier for those who want a refund.
Requested refund, had some complications. My refund was refunded to Vita, who's name is also Tom. Had to make a few more calls, refund was finally given after a couple of weeks of initial request...
Still waiting on my refund. It's only been one day though. On Monday, I'll be calling and emailing like mad.
Where is everyone else who got sucked into this mess? Chime in and let us know what you're doing. Are you getting a refund? Are you gonna stick it out and wait? Chime in here.
I didnt quite order a header for a Redline.
But I did order one of his supercharger kits for my car had have been getting the run around for the past 6 months.
I asked for a refund 2 and 1/2 weeks ago and havent heard anything from him. He's getting sued on Monday.
He did say that if it was talking to long I could ask for a refund and since I have it seems like he dissapeared.
Ok guys whats up with him. No new Emails, no calls, no answers on his phone, no tracking #s, nothing. This is now Old. I agreed to his Email for the product but all of a sudden I change my mind.
Seems like we are all gonna get fucked on this one.
I just sent him a FIFTH email but this time I am requesting my FULL refund and threatening legal action if I don't recieve it.
This is bullshit and I'm tired of his "time buying" games.
I have flight benefits (I fly for free) and would have no problem showing up in Lancaster, CA to fight this in a small claims court. I sold one of my guitar amps (which I really liked) in order to get this header and now it seems I'm gonna just get fucked out of almost $400.

Yeah really. All ive heard is "oh im just waiting for this to come in then it'll ship" and it seems to be a different part everytime. To bad for me its over the $2500 limit for a small claims court, also lucky at the sametime because he would have to come here to settle it in court.
One way or another im going to get my $3099 back plus Fees and Intrest for the past 6 months. He has untill Midnight on Friday to do something and if nothing happens the papers will get finilized on Monday.
Like I said before I didnt or A Header but the Base Supercharger System from him and im waiting for a refund too.
Hmmm.....I wonder if we could all ban together to take this case to court on him.
If you tally up all the money he got from people on here for this "group buy" it's around $6000 (maybe a little less because as I recall, a couple of people actually DID get refunds).

I began asking for a refund the middle of last week. Then, on Monday, I get his email w/ pics saying if we still want it, he'll ship it to us. I told him to go ahead and ship it to me. Since I had neither heard from him OR got a tracking # by yesterday I'm writing this off as another bullshit story.
This has really got me pissed but I can't imagine how the guys who have sent him $2K+ for his S/C kits and not recieved anything in 6 months feel.
If I don't hear from him by Monday, I will start looking into legal action.
I honestly don't think his intent from the get go was to screw everyone.
But this should serve as a real good example for people of how NOT to run a business. Even giving him the benefit of the doubt, and assuming the production problems were beyond his control, the lack of communication and his constant "I'll ship them tomorrow" promises are going to pretty much ruin this guy's reputation.
I personally really want one of these headers. But even if he does start shipping them, I'll probably just wait for someone else to make one to avoid the headache of dealing with this guy.
I don't think his intitial intent was to screw everyone either but somehow, it seems, that is exactly what has happened.
I paid him in Nov. a total of $373.99 for this header and it is now the middle of April and I have nothing to show for it. There cannot be any excuse that is acceptable as to why these things are not done and on our cars already.
If he was having that much trouble with the manufacturer he chose, he should have done somehting about it long ago. In his email he says,
" Id really like to disclose the name of the company
responsible for the multiple delays and this (what they are calling)
final product, but I'm bound by a confidentially agreement and they
would just deny it anyhow. "
I think if we knew how to get in touch with this "company" he is using we'd find out the fucking story here.
Who goes into a deal like this with a "confidentiallity agreement"??? Why would you even consider or feel that you need one?
I need a shovel quick because the bullshit is about to cut off my oxygen.
Exactly. I never got the sense any of this was malicious, ie he never set out to screw anyone (and probably still doesn't want to screw anyone). He just seems to have absolutely piss-poor business judgement, and seems to be an excuse-maker rather than just fessing up to what's going on. Either way, probably won't be buying from this guy.
This goes WAAAAAAAAYYYYY beyond just "poor business judgement".
He is basicaly ignoring phone calls and emails at this point. He NEVER updated us unless some actually was lucky enough to get a hold of him.
The path around the bush has been beaten to death and I think he is just hiding behind the bush now. I'll be damned if I'm just gonna say, "Oh well, live and learn". I'll be trying everything in my power and at my disposal to get my money back.
