2: Vietnamese suspension? Taiwan actually
3: Suspension failed? Working better than ever.

That was 1 sentence only, full of misinformation.

As for being back on topic to the question of the original poster. Theres people here that have had direct dealings with Scott at RA. I personally have a motor built by RA and have consistantly abused it at the track since it's break in. Even under extreme temps and abuse, it has done nothing more to prove to myself and others that it was a good build. I can say I'm personally 100% satisfied with the build. We gave him the wheel to the G incase anything did happen to the motor it would all reflect back to him, and he took the opportunity to prove himself on it.

I've come to the conclusion that Scott is the only person that never dissappeared when VRT was exposed. Two things have come from that, one people take the VRT frustrations out on the person that is in sight and the other take is that it shows he has nothing to hide from. RA has shown to provide customer service. I have yet to see anyone say RA frauded them. If employees of Enron went to work for another corporation would you say that company is fraudalent? This is just my personal experience and opinions.

Aren't you the guy that said you would have Mark Brent working for you soon because RA wasn't going to last?

Scott was not a top guy. He was a salesman with knowledge and experience. There were no top guys at that company. MrA was the owner and manager and he made the decisions. Scott and MrA were not equals at VRT.

I don't think so, but he did try to help the people he could. he says his 'hands were tied' in going totally public against mra so does that mean he would have been held responsible for some of it? that is what I think.

just a note.

You have bashed him quite a bit in the past. Why the change of heart?

OK...top guy maybe pushing it. Put it this way..there is no way in hell Scott did not know what Mr A was doing!! Scott also know that the 800whp that was claimed was bullsh!t.

People at Enron went to jail for knowing what was going on and not telling....so yes...in my opinion Scott is somewhat GUILTY !!!

The last event after the wreck we tried our hardest to put in a lap time with a nissan radiator that was 1/5 the size of the koyo, no fans, intake piping covered with panty hose and the motor still survived. The temp gauge was maxed out! The race would have been good had this not occured. We matched the practice times to phils G and Forged Z. To say we aren't running the car to full potential is absurd. I really don't want to go down this street again, as it seems this is going the same direction of drawing our company into all this drama. I like the fact we settled our differences. We have the right to our own opinions. Mine is as a consumer we had business with RA and it has worked out with no complaints.

Doug didn't make me do anything. Now what he did do was make himself look like a *ss because.. as you and everyone can see.. I'm not Scott.



I know that.. (for anyone that doesn't know this - two of my friends and I installed my TT kit.) we have never worked on this motor before. So as far as that goes.. a fitting was cracked and I replaced it after I got it back from RA because I needed it back within 24 hours so I could go to Hais BBQ meet in Norco.



^^^ is correct.. i brought it to him that way lol.



I already fixed it.. thanks
