Thanks Chris. I know it always seems this way but it really sounds like youre getting this finally straightened out. We know that you have brought some good things to us with the haloz, rd1 evo hoods and the bumpers. you had the cf hatches made for the gk guys which is awesome. you have the ability to get all kinds of new things made and make a good amoutn of money on them. we knew money was holding you back from the start. i think if you would have been able to get a loan in the first place this would have all went a lot more smoothly. people here believe in you or wouldnt have invested in the first place. the thing is though, when you have large amounts of money of theirs they start to wonder where it is, or parts. keep us updated and get this stuff off the ground man.

 

I know man, thats why even when it looks bad, I know you guys care. I pray about it everyday for strength the keep going when it seems everyone would rather see me in jail than make the products I'd love to see on the street one day on some random Tiburon passing by. Its rough, but I'll get through it. If I'd have had a good 10,000 to start with, I'd have stocked up 10 products in a full line of parts, and been making a profit off the bat. My costs do not present a big problem, its just the hole I dug myself into thinking I could make up for misplaced funds "later". When i do get my loan, it'll all turn around, and in the mean time I have to work off the big debt little by little without getting put out on the street for not paying my personal bills.

 

Holy 4,081 word essay batman!

Chris, I'm glad you posted. I know you better than that. Hiding and ignoring your problems will NEVER make them go away. I know how hard it is to get out of debt, as I've been there. The important thing now is to FIX stuff. If we thought you'd never be back or try to fix it, I'd have filed a complaint and banned you too.

One note my friend, we are trying to help you. Please, no more HUGE posts about everything. We know or have good ideas on your life and what's going on, and honestly, it's not important to us at all. You are a friend, and sure, your well being is important, but I'm sure maybe 2 or 3 folks read your posts. I don't even read them, I take a quick gander to see if there's anything that I can take out of it, and skip the rest.

We've tried to help you in the past, so just do this.

1. Make a list up of ALL your projects (SOCKS can help if he wants) in this thread.
2. Quote it and bring it with you on every post you make, with a update next to each item.

Like this.

1. RD2 Cadamuro Hood Project - Donor Scoop and Hood in hand - Talking to IT tomorrow again.
2. RD2 Evo hoods - mold paid for - Clearing $2000 debt with IT, $500 remaining, paying $200 tomorrow.

ECT.

I'm serious. I do care, but it's been so long on some of these projects that our friendship has to be put aside and folks need to get their parts or refunds. This is pretty much your last chance to turn stuff around and make it out of it, but you can do it. You do it, and I will still support you. Members here want you to succeed and we've shown it. We've handed out your cards at car shows and industry events, we've done a part to get you more business. Get this stuff fixed and we can again.

It's gone far enough to have us remove your site info from the RDTiburon.com banner that we take to the car shows, along with Real Engineering, and a few others.

That's the problem my man, you run a business, and so do they, call their asses up and MAKE them send you the goddamn parts. Stop putting hours in driving around to pick stuff up and get them to do their jobs. Stop pussyfooting around and put your foot down, get some written contracts or statements done with these companies, and save yourself time and money. Put the rest of that wasted energy into getting this fixed.

Keep the updates coming Chris.

chris.. thank you ALOT for posting.. i read pretty much all of it, and now i have a lazy eye.. thanks..

no but for real, i will call you today or tomm. and we need to chat a bit..

i can help you organize some other things on here as far as current projects and stuff. we will make a NEW thread for ya.. i know we have like 4, but just to keep things organized..

and really bro, if you could update us like two times a week, even if its to just pop in with a small update, that would help alot..

 

Thanks for the help bro, I appreciate it. I'll get my new sales at least posted today, and I'm updating the whole front page of Flyryde to make it easy to buy the products I need to push really heavily right now. The product lines include:

Vertical Doors Inc.
Import Trenz
Sun Automobile
Haloz Lighting
APE Motors
RotorWorks
and A-Spec Products

I'm just getting as much done as I can, and I'm trying to get that payment sent off to Import Trenz in the next hour or so. Also, I'm selling off my 65 Fairlane 500 to a buddy for 1500. He said if I help him hook it up, he'll give me a third of the selling price. That beats the hell out of 3000 dollars anyday, and this friend of mine always has cash for this type of stuff. So I'll take that 1500, and instead of use it to buy my wife a new car like I've been waiting to when I sell her 97 Tib, I'll get at least the first few Evo Hoods made up, and pump out a bumper or two for the Second Gen.

One huge thing I need help on if anyone can lend some direction. I need an OEM RD2 bumper. Thanks guys.

UPDATE: not a good one, but I called my friend, and he's about to move at the moment, so its looking like he wont be able to buy the Fairlane for about a month or two. Maybe it'll still work out, but I need cash NOW. I'll update you guys again when I pay I.T.

 

dont think you have to stick around updating every couple hours now. go make more angel eyes. wink1.gif

 

^^ Good Idea. I could use angel eyes, but flyride is a bit expensive for them. Have a sale, and I'll gaurantee you one purchase.

 

hell im still waiting for the ape bushing set that ordered from you on dec 22 06. Its for steven in Ontario canada

 

Hey Steve, thanks for waiting on those. I have Gary a bit tired of waiting as well on the traction bars, and I've never had APE ship a thing for me. I had everything here, in stock, and a month or so before he moved shops, we brough in all the parts to do inventory. Then I never heard back what I owe, or what has been sold. I know he's just been busy, but I'll call again tomorrow to see if I cant get at least 3 or 4 sets of bushings shipped, as well as Gary's traction bar. Hey Steve, do you have any pics you'd be ok with me using of your car for the Angel Eyes?

I have sales posted on Ebay right now with a Best Offer option for anyone who is looking to pay a bit less on my kits. My stuff is expensive, and worth every penny wink1.gif
