SOUSA is in no way associated with Erik Rummel other then the fact he was allowed to do business on here. He was only allowed on here because no one knew of him and for his short term he did do some good business but went down hill.
This situation in no way reflects this community or website. I don't think I can stress this enough!
I hope you don't feel that because of one bad apple on this site that you don't need to be here. All of us on here are very upset with Erik and his lack of good business practices. It's a absolute shame that this had to happen on our humble community site.
This community has been online for 1 year and 3 months now and in that time I have only had to ban a handful of people. Out of 1200 members less then 15 were bad apples and have been banned. Again, please don't think of this community like Erik Rummel, everyone else on here has been extraordinary top of the line members. I don't think I've never been on a forum that doesn't have bitching, moaning, griping or complaining not to mention fighting. We're all family on here and that is why it's such a sad thing to see occur with Erik since he is not only a vendor but a R32 owner as well and that means 1 Skyline is out of the community now.

I received this email today from Erik...
Quote:
Hey,
Sorry for all the drama and fuss, I will have you your tracking number for your R33 converted and shipped HKS unit.
I have access to a computer again so please feel free to email me back and let me know if you have any questions, or just to let me know that you got this email.
Thanks,
Erik Rummel
|
I sent him a reply back saying that I received his email and to please send me a tracking number ASAP... I also stated that by getting back to me means hopefully he still cares and might be actually starting to man up for what he has done to people here... Will see...
Steve, just to let you know about me, I'm on this site for the long haul, be it crawling through mud or trippin' in the daisies...

I know this was kinda dumb on my behalf to but the thing was that Erik was "suppose" to help me out with giving me a turbo a few months ago for my turbo that would give me 500HP. If anyone can recall, I had a TD-06 GReddy turbo and top mount exhaust manifold and a DP. The set up did not give me the HP I wanted so Erik said that if I sent him the turbo, manifold and DP, he would give me a bigger turbo, manifold and fix my DP to fit the turbo that would actually give me 500HP. So to make a long story short, this was all suppose to be with in a 2 week period that actually took almost a month and a half (Vandrel if you remember I asked you a few different time if you could help me get in touch with him.) The items that he sent me were ebay shit! A Super T-70 turbo and an XS-Power manifold that looked like shit. The DP was nice, but he faild to send me any of the gaskets for anything....that took another 2 weeks to get. Oh, and the car never got to 500HP. 
Just thought I would through in my 2 cents. I wasnt a happy customer!

Good to hear Tommy,
I believe if Erik was really manning up to this all that he would at least have the common courtesy to get on here and explain himself, instead he's been trolling Zilvia.net and other sites and replying to emails from people wanting to pay him money... like my fake email address I sent him.

I hope he can have the respect for us to come on here and do what he needs to do... I can now only keep my fingers crossed that he is being legitimate this time and he is contacting other members who he has given his word to...
What concerns me is that in the email he sent me, it states that he recently got access to a computer again, and what I am hearing from you guys is that he has been online the whole time..?

Oh yea, he told Matt (thesnake) the same story with more sob details. Funny thing was when sbblowz called the cops and a officer went to Erik's shop damn sure as shit Erik was on the phone talking to sbblowz like it was cool seeing what was up. And like I said man, after I heard Erik was replying to emails I made a fake yahoo account and sent him a email asking him for RB26 parts and told him I had cash in hand, he replied very quickly and was ready to take payment but when I turn around and send him a email from MY account telling him to get his ass on here he didn't reply. Not to mention he's been all over other sites. I have been updating the 1st post I made on here with all of his known activities.

Well said... All of us have been screwed in some way or another, that's just how it is... The positive side is that we appriciate the good business transactions we do have with people like Adam at Feast Japan, and Garage Sticky Rice just to name a few that don't mess around and value your business...
