Well, unlike "you know who", it doesn't take dozens of posts and several locked threads for me to admit that I f*cked up.

 

[sarcasm]

but how come you be sure without A VIDEO TAPE PROOF, OR DNA EVIDENCE OF THINGS??? HOW DO YOU KNOW you were wrong????


[/sarcasm]

 

wasnt eagle1's car in a mag this month....i take it VRT is still working just off the my350 scene

 

I see the thread has been made a sticky. Thanks mods!

 

+10000000000000000000 THANK YOU MODS!!!

 

Yeah, his car is in the Sport Compact Car USCC. Last night when the wife and I were at Borders checking out some magazines, two guys were looking at that issue and noted Ed's G35. One guy made a comment about how VRT makes some awesome cars and how they had a yellow Z on Dsport's cover last month. I finally spoke up and said that VRT is now out of business, at least the original owner no longer has it, and now works out of his house. The car they were checking out was not AWD, since the conversion was never done. The VRT suspension and brakes were no longer even available since the owner closed shop and started working out of his house. I'm not sure what the deal is with MrA now, or the name VRT and it's business, but it seems that there will be many new Z and G owners that have no idea what the history of this company is. All they will see is magazine exposure like this, and assume it's a good business. I would really like SCC to make some kind of mention on VRT's past problems and their current status, just to alert potential customers that trust the magazine's discretion to not use unreputable companies. Otherwise, SCC's own project Z is going to come back to them, straight from MrA's front yard, and unknowing customers will percieve another mis-appropriated form of endorsement from a magazine they trust to have better judgement.

I agree that it would be nice if SCC ran an article about about the issues that VRT has been having and the scandels.

 

Not surprising after being exposed, they are still stealing, deceiving and lying as if it's their G*d given right. The cattle is theirs for the taking to be used and abused for their gains. It's just business as usual and the cattle, err customer knows it. Welcome back to 3K BC.

 

I doubt it. He has no mechanical skill, his only skill was as a salesmen. So now that he no longer owns the company I don't think he would take orders from a mechanic that used to work for him. Not to mention, with all the potential lawsuits surfacing, I think if he is smart he will take the money and run. He is probably putting serious distance between him and VRT.

They won't until there is a case and VRT is found guilty or something along those lines. They don't have the proof they need to protect themselves from a Libel lawsuit if the printed something like that...although we would all like to see it.

 

Apparently, Mike has enough time and resources to file a BAR complaint against us from 3 years ago when we built his engine and twin-turboed car.I guess he has a Vendetta against us. LOL.

 

that f-ing moron is tryign to fight back??
can you share us more details? ..also any thing new about the germans car? or has mr A$$ been found yet?

 

3 years to file a complaint? I am sure that is going to hold a lot of weight with the BAR

 

There is a three year limitation so he is within the time frame by 19 days.

 

I am sure they take past history into account

BAR rep: 'VRT, you seem to have numerous complaints and are currently being sued, so basically we could give less a **** what you say. stfu'

 

some of you have seen this already...


those who were waiting to see eagle1 post on this whole mess....

https://my350z.com/forum/g35-g37/302006-vrt-in-uscc-2.html

 

well, glad to get eagle1's response on the whole ordeal. I must say, he was one of the lucky *FEW* who didn't get royally screwed by VRT.

 

Isn't Eagle1 a lawyer ? I don't think Mr *** ho*e would dare to screw a lawyer.

 

I read the response Eagle1 put up. VQturbotech made a post stating that the engine that was put into his car was the sleeved engine that was supposed to be in the 350Z that was shipped here from Germany. Reading back in the post it was stated that the owner of the german Z could not get his car shipped back into Germany without the original block installed (german Customs). This is really confusing, Maybe Turbo Tim can tell us the status of that car, I'm really hoping that everything works out for both of them.

As a side note, When I went to JWT a few weeks ago looking for information I asked them for a recomendation on where I could bring my car now that I have the VRT install but need a DEPENDABLE shop to have work done on it, they gave me Mark Brent's phone number. I may just take it to GTM if I can afford it.

I changed the oil this weekend and found a very slight trace of oil but either a turbo is starting to leak or it's the rear main seal, also I'm pondering upgrading to 700BB's. If I go to the 700's I'm going to have the engine opened up and inspected just to see what's there and it's condition rather than letting it pop and incur more drastic costs.
