Scott Bush & Relentless Autosports: Exposing the Hype, Lies, and Failure
I wanted to see the lulz
Well... I searched a bit with no luck. Honestly, I'm not sure and may have him confused with someone else.
There were so many RA/Scott dick lickers over on g35driver that it's hard to remember or keep track of them, especially since I stopped frequenting that site long ago.

I doubt it's an innocent or unintentional association. Strafe is out of Orange County, very close to Scott's neck of the woods. I'm more inclined to suspect that that he is one of Scott's buddies.
In fact, IIRC Strafe was an RA supporter/nuthugger on g35driver before he became a sponsor here.

1. My name is Lawrence and my co owner is Dustin and our business is Located in Los Angeles County not Orange County. We started Strafe because of a bad experience we had with a certain body kit company. Scott’s business is like 2 hrs away from us. We also have no dealings nor are we friends with Auto Infantry. So are we to be accused of being friends or partners with every business in Southern California? Really?
2. We became a sponsor because we were already on driver and Internet Brands offered us a packaged deal for G35driver and 350z. We liked it and stayed. We are a young company and we make small mistakes but we know what we are doing and where we want to be in a year.
3. As far as this BS with RA and your beef with him, that doesn't concern us. We researched what people and bandwagoneers say and didn't find a customer that stood up and has come to stop this relentless pursuit of an individual. We see more posts like this thread and really wasn't the issue like 3 yrs ago? Like I said we don't know the deal with you and him. I have the akebono brakes on my G35 and have been searching for 2 piece rotors. I was told by a friend to contact Scott and I did just that.
Now here comes the touchy Part I'm going to discuss with INTERNET BRANDS tmrw. I spent my money not yours in trying to bring what I felt was a good thing. These brakes have been long overdue. Now that it is done you want to stop me and my company from reaping a profit? The comments here will also be discussed with Internet Brands as I personally don't have a beef with RA or Scott. We don't hang out. We made a business deal.
I saw the g35 that Scott purchased from a female and he asked me to look at something on the g. I"M a Firefighter and could tell firsthand the fire started electrical not fuel. I didn't have a clue as to whose car I was looking at and to this date DON'T CARE.
Again the assumptions and speculations about me and my partners business is so whacked and far from the truth but I expect now someone to start thinking this stuff is true. I think what you are doing is wrong and the fact you searched out his name everyday and try to stop everything he does with anybody at all cost is ridicules and childish to say the least. Bash me and think what you want I think these brakes are a good thing and the calipers you see are mine from my personal car and the rotors that are being tested are mine also that is what I'm interested in selling, not the BS that has been brought up. So you basically stopped me as a vendor to make a profit because of your game.
I will be showing these posts to Internet Brands as a paying vendor on here and discuss the topic of this very behavior by mods and super mods alike.

OK enough is enough. Let me hit this BS 1 by 1:

I am really not worried if you speak to IB on this matter as I am just doing my job as a mod. I will be in contact with them and will make a thread in the mod section to IB regarding this.

First, it will benefit you to use punctuation. Secondly, IB has banned Scott from all its forums as far as I know. I doubt you will see the result you seek......other than perhaps terminating your sponsorship upon request. You can say what you wish, but his reputation proceeds him. Carrying any of his products is of course up to you, but don't expect a kind reception from this community.
The problem is that not only you, but a company that has been banned from here and other numerous boards will be making a profit on this. That in-lies the problem. A banned sponsor should not directly or indirectly be making a profit from a website that they were booted from.

As a Mod I think you should have certains standards to follow. Not making jokes about the issue. That is the only issue I have with your posts at this time, and don't wish to have any more unless my company messes up. I really don't care about the 3 yr pursuit of Scott Bush on every forum or venue. Like I said I did the research and would really like to see customer complaints. I couldn't find one. I kept seeing same names pursuing him. Really why was he banned? What did he do? I don't know these things. I can't seem to get a solid answer from a customer. Just rumors. I care about these rotors and that is all. They are a really good thing.
Thanks

1- you are not being scrutinized for dealing with any business in socal. Its specific to Ra (ex-vrt), who has been known to be more than just un-ethical on his business dealings, has run an illegal business and now leeches of his dads "digits", has been caught on multiple lies, broken TOU rules, harassed many other vendors, lied about his personality, taken credit for other accomplishments, constantly associated with other known scammers of the site(also banned), part owners of the biggest ripoff vrt. If you think this happened 3 years ago and its a thing of the past then i don't think your research on this matter has been diligent enough.
2-congratulations for the progress of your company
, i have a pretty good idea of what body shop company you are talking about. i think you would agree that to run an A+ business you want to be a dealer of reputable business in the industry. Did mr S already told you about his mma skills or exaggerated and over-fluffed himself with "research' he has done for products, which is really taking credit form other people..
3-About the burned car, i guess its cool you went to help your "non friend/just business/i don't know him really" on such a sensitivity issue, but i don't think we need to know about your "quick visual" inspection considering that we have direct information from the owner and information to the people who performed the formal inspection.
4- the fact that all you say is rumors is typical revisionism from Scott bush. its does get tiring to always look for the information when people act clueless of the situation, its up to the mods to look fro it, but just consider that we have a publicly traded company with no interest in getting into any kind of childish bickering on a forum, no interest in fanboyism, just as much as they try o stay away from anything illegal as a large public company should...yet they choose to ban mrS..it obviously wasn't a light decision, and it was reviewed more than once and decision stands.
You are welcome to sell what ever you want at what ever price you want, as long as its legal, but in this matter i don't think you should be advertising or sale of anything related to RA using the IB forums.

@Strafe
-If you searched as hard as you say.. how could you not know about that particular G35?
.... that was fairly huge, considering its implications...
Just sayin....

Anyone at Strafe are u F***in serious? I know the economy is bad, but you will go in bed with a snake to make a few bucks on a damn brake kit? I understand some shops get hit on minor mistakes on the boards. But holy s**t when as many people come forward as they have do the math, plus the whole VRT bs, what more do people need. And as far as no one stood up and came forward
This is a Z/G community it is small in contrast to just about every other car community out there, you wont find hundreds of people to say their cars were destroyed, lied to, ripped off,etc. But there are plenty considering the size of this community.
O ya, and I guess Shariff lied to when he SHOWED the BS build sheet. I guess next NISMO head studs will be pitched to you to sell, or maybe a RA fuel pump upgrade. Sorry if I ranted, I just can't stand to see a con-man keep on conning, and getting away with it. Who was his vendor sales rep LawChick?

I know We try to run Strafe on a tight 95/5 rule. I wish I could have 100% satisfaction our customers. It"s just impossible to please 100%. We do try though to accomplish that task. We also have personal haters on the nonbusiness side who carry that over too.(fine) We had to take action against a partner on here who had bad customer service. That being said I also understand there is A side,B side and C the truth. That truth can also combine both parties sides. Most of time it is lack of hearing, understanding or commuinication. We all hear and understand things different, and yet we forget to repeat or ask what the other person really said or did.
Concerning Scott BUsh I just googled his name and a blog came up. It seems like there are more people trying to bring this guy down who weren't directly involved in any of his dealings. There are a few posts here that in peoples own words and action seem like the take pleasure on getting this guy banned almost from life itself.
I really don't read hate threads. I just don't have time and don't take pleasure in bringing someone down. Hell I have my own haters,bandwagoneers,hearsay mongers, and people who aren't even around my business to even know what is going on. Personal side I wish I hadn't said or done somethings before I knew I would start this business. Lesson Learned. I don't sit on my high friggin horse either.I hear 1/2 truths or fabrications because some person or company doesn't like the fact we are ok with not trying to gouge people. We are just trying to earn loyalty and good business service.
I understand how you feel in this matter with Scott. We are not here to debate,defend,crusade or publically try to do anything for him.
I met Scott with his then girlfriend(who now I find out owned that IP G35)at a G35 BBQ 2 years ago and we didn't even talk. The last thing I remember about her mod was she added headlights. I didn't know this until after I looked at the car. I'm no expert and really once again this doesn't concern me or Strafe. Who knows what went on with those two as bf and gf. Again A side B side and C the truth. Will we ever know? Do I even care? Nope.
As far as these rotors and brakes go, I was called by a friend who heard this guy was doing brake rotors with 3 other companies. He wanted a investor to help with costs. I didn't even know his phone number. I have had these Akebono's on my G35 and I was first to have them. I really got excited in this 3 company project to bring to us consumers 4 2 piece rotors. This is why I'm involved with this venture, nothing more nothing less.
I apologize on our behalf if it seems we are taking sides. We aren't. We just wanted to get these out and make back our investment. To be honest these pictures are my actual brakes and new rotors. My G35 is being all redone for the show scene/driving for my pleasure and I could not try them on my car. These will be on my car soon as she is done.
I hope we earn your trust and respect in our company and understand we are just trying to bring new stuff to the consumer. I really don't have time to keep responding to this thread. Sorry. I feel we have been upfront and honest to you.
What I didn't and still don't think is right is the posts that were bad or calling to ban Strafe based on no knowledge of our company. That to me personally is whack....Thanks for most of you for giving us a chance to show what we are made of. Regardless of the few people who are going to dislike us for what ever reason, We plan on staying around for a long time.
Thanks
