northguy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 John, since I PM'd you on the tenth and haven't heard back, and since you told me your cell # has changed, I don't know how else to contact you. I'm interested in getting my bumpers and was wondering what the status is. In July, they were waiting to be powdercoated.If that is still the hold up, send them raw. I'll get them powdercoated here and back charge you the cost. Please stay in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I can tell you not to buy a bumper from him -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm at the point where if I can't have my bumpers, I want my money back. Let's look at this from a different angle - let's say I got the bumpers from you, John, on December 11th of last year and you were waiting on the money. I could come up with every conceivable excuse as to why you didn't have the money yet, but that wouldn't do anything in the way of settling what would be owed you. How would you feel? I at least would expect some communication, and maybe a firm delivery or reimbursement date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I was worried about posting in this thread, because i didn't want to start a lynch mob, but i do want my adapter plate. It looks like there may be an employment opportunity in Seattle, but i can't go out there until i get the 88 running :-\ so, pretty please with sugar on top....

TheSubaruJunkie Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 He has gained employment with the dealer, but that doesnt excuse him from his prior engagements. EXPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE PAID HIM IN FULL ALREADY! Wait... capslock off. PAID IN FULL OVER 2 YEARS AGO!!! Oh wait... caps lock off again. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 When I spoke with John at the show, he told me his cell phone # was given to another party. I see he posted recently on the 13th, so he is still active on the board. I believe I have a vialble phone # for him and will try calling him after I get back from moose hunting next week. Right now I have the need to kill something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 I'll be moose hunting for the next 5 days or so, but I would expect to see some king of response from John by then. If not, that says volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Have you called to leave him a message? I think his number is listed on a new thread in the marketplace. I remember seeing him posting a '84 wagon for sale. Has his Phone# and contact instructions. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Wow, I've read alot of threads like this kinda making me think twice about ordering a trannie with an LSD installed. At least not cash up front anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Wow, I've read alot of threads like this kinda making me think twice about ordering a trannie with an LSD installed. At least not cash up front anyways. agreed...but I need a 'new' tranny, EJ adapter plate, and front LSD would be really nice to go along with it....I hope this works out.

ezapar Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I did a whois on oregonoffroadsubaruclub.org. I got another street address and phone number, if this means anything to anyone.... Be pissed, do what you have to do to reclaim your $. But do NOT publish his private info. He has children, several of them, and they did nothing to you.

MorganM Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah Ive decided to pass on business with Mr Mudrat. I'll start working on a more reliable source (myself) for the EJ/EA adapter and get back with you once I have that squared away. Excellent idea; all the info can be had here on the forums. I think you can do it yourself and have great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Be pissed, do what you have to do to reclaim your $. But do NOT publish his private info. He has children, several of them, and they did nothing to you. That information is published to the internet by Internic. He was mearly relaying it. Anyone can go do a whois lookup and find out this infromation. http://www.internic.com/whois.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Then they can go to the link you provided and find it themselves. I do not like the idea of publishing peoples private info. I would edit it it if your info was posted Morgan just as I have Mudrat's. If someone wishes to find that info then that is their option. To publish it here or else where(IMO, as some have pointed out doesn't matter much) is not any better than not completing the deals or not communicating about them.

I agree; it could have been handled better. I simply didnt want to see the messanger get shot Internic is the one publishing everyone's information to the internet. Maybe someone should tell John that his info is posted for all the world to see in Internic's database of registerd domain names. He might not be aware that this is even happening.

NoahDL88 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have no doubt that i'll get what i payed for, its just that now with possible employment opportunites i'm in dire straits on getting the 88 running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have now called his house and left a messagewith my home phone number. I expect an answer; either here, or my home # or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 I started this post on the 18th. I have called his house and left a message on the recorder. I have sent a PM. I have sent an e-mail. I see John has been on the board several times since the start of this posting. Why is he not communicating with people he owes money or products?

Zefy Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 He has helped me on a number of occations... all of which i walked away happy...i bought my car from him and he has been backing his sale (by giving me constant help) and i don't think i could have dealt with a much better person... the fact that he has gone the extra mile for me and for others on multiple occations shows that he is good guy... if you want to get some results outa him phone him! although he has a different cell #... i feel sorry for the poor guy who got his old #... I have been able to talk to him around once every 2 months (depending on how much stuff brakes on my car)... so maybe you should give him a call... he will get the job done... and besides some places in australia i don't think your going to find another place to make an ej/ea adaptor kit... thats my take...
