Hmm, do you think that a performance shop anywhere would install them even though they are not street legal?

sure, why wouldn't they. Performance shops install NO2, and that's not street legal. There's no law or guidline that says if our car is strickly for track use, that they cannot work on it.

Will these bolt up to the Stilles SS exhaust? Are the 02 sensors out yet?

Eyal,

While I admit that Burn504 wasn't the model citizen when making certain claims against you, even reading his (and others') claims against you with a large grain of salt produces a bad taste in my mouth. True, we don't know the whole story, but from the looks of it, neither the complaintants NOR you is being very forthright about the situation.

As I stated earlier, the fact that people were complaining about issues with MPH is, for all intents and purposes, a moot point. You were directly involved in MPH (being the president and legally labeled on the business license as the main financial party) as well as your brother, and therefore any issues with MPH during your tenure there need to be resolved. Your obvious refusal to take ANY sort of responsibility with what happened at MPH during your tenure does not speak well about you as a businessman, regardless of you now backing a different company.

Again I will state that only a handful of people know what really happened in each incident, but you're ststements both on this board and others do not seem to jibe.

To whit:
1) "...he just didnt want to wait any longer, he didnt have a car for a few months and needed it back." Fine...did you return his car within a reasonable time period when he asked for it? One moment you are claiming he has asked for the return of his car, yet on the other board he claims months down the road you STILL have not returned his car. You admit to a customer request, yet it seems you have failed to abide by that request.

2) "...i even told him if he wants a refund he will get one, its up to him." From the sound of it, he wanted a refund months ago. For whatever reason he did not receive a refund and therefore had to turn to a judge to award him more than he originally paid (I believe he was awarded $5000 as opposed to roughly $3500 he originally paid you). Months went by and he didn't even receive that. Again, you failed to abide by a simple customer request which pushed you even further into a corner.

3) "Now every company sometime has back ordered or the ship the wrong product." This is true. However, good companies will tell the whole story with nothing added in to save their own skins, providing refunds if necessary. Telling customers they have to wait 2 more weeks because your XERD logo boxes weren't in yet, only to ship them later on without the special boxes (which most likely never existed in the first place) is plain bad business.

4) "NO one ever took XERD or myself to court." You have admitted to at least one lawsuit with Burn504, in particular, even meeting him in the courtroom to try to work things out after missing at least one court date. This is a bold-faced lie on your part and TOTALLY INEXSCUSABLE. To realize how easily you will lie shows me, and others I'm sure, that dealing with you or any business you are a part of is a major risk. This goes beyond saving face, this kind of a statement approaches the criminal.

5) "WE will not charge anyone's credit card until the product is ready to ship." That's an easy statement to make. Even if you WERE to charge the card early and the product never shows up, the consumer has the option of stopping payment using the credit card company. But what about cash customers? Canadian customers? People whose legal rights drop a notch because payment is either harder to deny without a huge CC company to back them up or legal battles are more difficult across country boundaries?

6) "We offer a 3 year warranty on our products." A warranty means bupkis if the company ceases to exist 6 months down the road. What about the warranties offered by MPH? Those aren't worth the piece of paper they're printed on now. If/when XERD should fail, are you, Eyal, as a singular person going to back up those warranties, or will you hide behind the easy escape wall of "I'm no longer with that company!" as you've done so easily with MPH and its customers?

7) "XERD is doing very well, so please make your own decisions about the company which has nothing to do with MPH." I'm not saying its true, but the possibility is there considering the facts we all have at hand...if XERD is basing its increased abilities and products on the money received from shady MPH deals, or even on questionable deals done directly with XERD, then can we REALLY say XERD is doing well? If the main owners of XERD, MPH, and other companies is the same family, how can we NOT base our opinion on how good a company is by how good previously owned companies were ran? As I've said in the past, most here won't associate good business with a company name (unless it's an established name and we're being fooled), we associate it with the person (when we know better).

8) "If everything people are saying is true then how come i [sic] am not hiding..." Again, not saying that it's true, but I can think of one very GOOD reason to do it..."there's a sucker born every minute" (P.T. Barnum). Regardless of how many people may thing you're a crook/theif/what-have-you, there will always be a customer with money willing to trust you, or one who doesn't know the whole story and wants to make a deal. Plenty of us know about the poor email scam where someone writes "If you just send me your bank account # to store $120 million in, I'll let you keep $20 million for your trouble". So why does it keep popping up? Because someone always falls for it.


You may be a stand-up kind of guy, but so far your replies and actions haven't made you look that way in my book. Prove me wrong...settle the court cases by paying people their money, return their property on time, give refunds immediately when asked, ship products as soon as possible with NO made-up excuses as to why they will ship out "next week", and act like a responsible businessman.

I think you'll find quite a few more people on this board with the resources to chase you down should the need arise than you have previously seen on some other boards. Who knows, maybe a bit of paranoia is all it will take to make sure everyone flies straight, but I'm all for honesty by paranoia if it will save someone from getting the shaft.

Greetings all,
I do not own an S2000 nor have I ever bought anything from Ayal or Erin under any of their companies such as MPH Unlimited, XERD, AMSS or Auto Toy Store. I have been following the trail of deciet that they have made for over two years. The pattern that I have observerved is as follows:

1. They start a business with a new name.

2. They offer to make an after market kit such as turbo, headers, downpipe or super charger.

3. They actually do make a couple of the units (headers and down pipes but no FI stuff) that they received payment for and ship them to the buyers.

4. The lucky buyers that receive their stuff sing a song of praise that loops other buyers into paying for product.

5. Orders do not ship out when promised or ship out incomplete.

6. Ayal makes all kinds of excuses and promises that the parts will be delivered all the while taking in payments for more orders.

7. Ayal leaves the club message boards when he gets too many complaints and then changes the name of the company. In the case of MPH, he filed bankruptcy. It is a matter of public record and Ayal is listed as the owner of MPH, XERD and the Auto Toy Store. Complaints against Ayal's companies are registered with the Better Business Bureau.

You can choose not to believe me, however if you check http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html under these company names, they all come back to the same person. You can also see a list of complaints the the BBB has against them at http://search.bbb.org/results.html

Everyone I just wanted to let you all know I spent the $10 to get some info on Xerd. It just so happens that they have Criminal charges going way back to their first company (name could not be given). He has owned more than 9 companies and screwed everyone up to make his cash. Luckily for Pierceman the CC company will take him down so he benefits with nothing in the end. Thanks to all of the people who warned the S2k club and keep spreading the word. Keep it all updated.
