I got banned 3 times because my work is getting nailed and I try defending the place and my co workers! To top it off, he is getting a $6000 Stg II 347 Boost Motor for peanuts which he came to us in the first place and we gladly helped!
Warning, be carefull about sponsoring there, ELMER does NOT take care of you. Trust me. Actually lost a TON of money! Personally I have taken a VERY BIG hit because of this, more then you could guess.

Dude, you need to provide Cliff Notes in context. Not everyone knows the history (I do not, for example)

Someone from Agostino Racing Engines is complaining about losing money, now that is a precious statement.

What goes around....

Oh and before you go off on a rant accusing me of anything, don't forget the last time you tried that. I saved EVERYTHING and don't forget, Nick still owes Ahmad a grand.

Guys - this really sounds like something that would be better off in PM's. No context whatsoever. This is just a *lame* thread.

Short story.

ARE ripped alot of people off. My car, although it ran, was put together with some of the worst craftmanship around.

This was all long ago and forgotten. However a good friend gave Nick/
ARE a $1,000 deposit on a Incon TT kit, which was refundable. Incon did not provide the kit, Nick kept his money.

All the ARE crap went down and POOF Nick and the gang was gone. Wade was still around but I know most of this was Nick.

Then Nick and Dave pop back up under a new name and I hear Nick is trying to work out his old customers he screwed. We emailed him, no response. Dave was spouting off on Ls1Tech when someone mentioned getting screwed by ARE.

I put in again the comments about Ahmad's 1K and Dave jumped all over me accusing me of never paying them, even though I have complete records, not just on my side but postings for years on LS1.com and the like.

Bottom line is, ARE screwed alot of people and took a grand, which granted is not a huge amount of money, but took it from one of the most honest and nicest people anyone will ever meet.

Now Dave is on here crying about losing some money to LS2 and I find it F'in hilarious.

Thats the short version.

I don't need to hear the long version - I know enough right now to stay away from these guys.

Appreciate you telling your story
