someone to go to David's house and take a picture of the 8 completed kits
no offense Paul but I don't think anyone in this GB gives a crap about seeing pics anymore.....they just want their kit and I don't blame 'em for a second...... after this is all over (whenever that may be) I don't think David will have a good chance in running a GB again in the future after this episode, and to not fully co-operate and update members is a load of BS. I feel sorry for the members involved in this GB and hopefully you all get your kits soon and all this crap comes to a good and happy conclusion. Good Luck with it all guys.
Thanks for your input; i chose to make my NO. 1 priority making this happen and after the fact go through all the bullshit that occurred and clear my name. I don’t care that people slander my name, im working for those involved and thats all and once they get their kits all the facts will be laid out and people can pass judgement once fully informed. There is a reason why i have sent out 100+ set of floor mats in the past and no one complained about my work ethic and every person received what they paid for. I have a reputation for delivering and been honest, that’s why impart i think Peter let me do this groupbuy know my background of honestly, morals and ethics.

Not true, Scott Gates knows where i work and live (plus at least 3 others in this thread and more on this forum plus countless on nissansilvia.com and supraforums). The idea behind not informing too many 'RANDOM' people about my address is that im holding onto the kits as the place making them has room for 2 full kits and one in the mould. Again i go above and beyond to do what has to be done, you think its pleasant having your living room, spare bedroom (that i could be renting out), kitchen and garage full of kits. Let me tell you the smell of polyurethane isnt something i want to ever live with full time. But like a said it needed to be done, its only for a number of weeks and then will never have to be repeated. Its called sacrificing for the greater good, the greater good been the people who have waited patiently. Those than have dreamed for this kit going on years now.
Sidney Tran wrote on Sunday, November 28, 2010 - 05:15 pm:I would be thinking, if there are 8 completed kits, why not send them out, rather than leave them all in once place.
Has been stated before, i take no pleasure in hanging on to these, from the toxic smell, from having to borrow tow cars and transport kits to my house with a trailer then returning the trailer and the tow car and doing this 5 times which took 5 full days all up. The reason as state before is that two freight quotes were so high that they would have been deal breakers which is bullshit for those people having to wait so long and find out that freight is so much and thus they cant go ahead with the kit. Believe me it would have been a •••• load easier if once i got the freight quote each kit was sent off individually thus no need for storage at my house, no need for ••••••• around with transporting to my house, and no need for me to spend entire days doing this. However the only solution to the large freight quotes was to combine freight and drive a truck thus splitting the cost and saving people money and allowing for them to go ahead with the kit. The added benefit for everyone else is that the kits have been stored properly by me and have had time to rest. Not only that but the way im packaging them in the rental truck is a •••••••• better than any freight company. NO piece will be in contact with any other piece, nor will any piece be stacked on top of one another. This is the proper and safest way to transport the kits, freight via Northline and E-go could have ended in insurance claims if stuff was stacked on top of the ktis etc thus longer wait until insurance company pays out. There are reasons for every action, im a immunologist by trade and because of this i dont make emotional decisions i make rational decisions. The rational decision was to split the costs of truck rental, diesel, excess kms. Ill be travelling for 3 days to pull this off, i dont make a dollar in fact i have to pay for my own lunch. Ps. if anyone wants to donate a sandwich when i deliver your kit next weekend im all for that :-) haha
Paul Knox wrote on Sunday, November 28, 2010 - 05:13 pm:Wow still feel so sorry for the guys involved , yet I still get a bad feeling about all of this.
I mentioned before that it should be real easy for someone to go to David's house and take a picture of the 8 completed kits , just to ease everyones nerves , yet no-one has ?
Narvey Stuck up for him , yet he conveniently is parting out his car or wrote it off or something.??
Someone just needs to Grow some Balls and go to his house and take a few pictures or confront him or something , the fact he can't find 5 mins to post something is alarming at least !!!
Narvey hardly even knows me, he just saw how much bullshit i was dealing with to make this happen, so many •••••••• that things were not ever done the first time around but i had to keep going back again and again. These people were ones we needed to rely on so i had to put up with it. He pretty much saw how much bullshit i was going through and basically couldn’t pass it on via soarercentral.com That will all change once these kits are out and i have priority 1 crossed off, then i will outlines all the bullshit i had to deal with to make to happen and then people can freely judge me. Pretty much Narvey observed how hard I was working yet I was getting bagged.
I dont know why people would have gotten too much of a bad feeling, after all 4 groupbuy of floor mats no dramas, floormats on other forums no dramas, pics of actual kit from US provided, pics of mould completed provided, pics of Scott picking his kit up, pics of a kit fitted and painted. That tells me the product exists and people are receiving them after paying money. I dont know but the argument is irrational in regards to your first comment.
Not time to post comes from 15-20hours a week doing kit related sutff + 24 hours at work + 38 or more at uni in the labs. With a schedule like that only time i could have posted was whilst at work or if i didnt have to do physical stuff with the kits. The physical stuff HAD to be done so that left posting at work, i got a large data plan for this very reason and signed a 2 year contract. Optus been •••••• useless was never part of the equation and totally out of my control, if you could see the frustration of knowing the •••• storm that was going on here but not been able to post well then you have a accurate picture of what i have looked like for the last 3 months. If needed I can provide when I signed the contract because that will be roughly the same time I stopped posting reasonably frequently online. My 3 prepaid mobile broadband expired, my phone was getting on with age so I thought I new phone + 1gb data pack and the ability to tether to my laptop at work would make my life easier. I can tell you with with a hysterical chuckle that signing that contract was the worst thing that happened this year hands down. For anything relating to this groupbuy rather than making a 2 minute call to the place making the kit I had to drive sometimes 30-45mins just to keep on top of stuff. Now you get an idea of no inefficient having no phone is and why I wasn’t able to post regular updates.
Sidney Tran wrote on Sunday, November 28, 2010 - 01:29 am:SO did the grilles get picked up, whats happening with the kits?
Apparently tomorrow i will be able to pick up the grilles. Scott if you see this please provide me with info for whom the grilles are meant for.

I just feel for the people involved in this . Specially as by the time people get to fit these kits ( and if they do ) , the kits will be worth more than the cars they are being fitted too !!!
I hope when i finish reading all unread posts that i come across something productive that you have contributed to this groupbuy in one way or another. Whilst i was working my arse off to make this happen and deliver on achieving the goals set out; thats the best you have to contribute then that is pathetic. People have been dreaming about this kit for years but financially couldnt afford it, i get it done at a reasonable price aswell as taking the time to do it properly and that is all you have to say and contribute. How come you didnt use your time to suss out a way of getting us foggies for cheap or door mould or grilles etc?
One more thing Daniel, people want info and updates, when i was doing them then people like yourself called them excuses and 'should've' There is no way i can please you, if i post an update and explain the situation i get shot down, when i dont because im making this work on a shoe string budget and working/dealing with incompetent people you criticize me about not posting. Wait for my outline of all the bullshit and ill wait for your take of things once you have all the facts. Sound fair?
