ATTN: Missing machining... [Archive] - Beyond.ca - Car Forums

About a month ago, I had machined a "GREDDY" coilpack cover for an SR20 - which was taken from Speedtech... A few people were "supposed" to have it - nothing is turning up... I know a few members on Beyond that "know" who has it - No names yet...

Just want to get it back as simply as possible, no hard feelings... If you want it (and you have it), just throw me the $150 for it and call it a day... Hopefully someone can chime in... Just a shitty buzz when you try to hook people with custom fun parts and shit like this goes on... A few potentially wreck it for all...

It is the coilpack cover pictured, may be stripped back to machined finish... its the only one on the planet, as its one off custom, shouldn't be hard to come across...

thanks all in advance

Claims he knew where it was 587-224-0288 - feel free to call and see whats up lol...

Gretz - That is once nice piece of machining!

Ok beyonders - fess up and return the goods or pay for em. Don't make CSI go medieval on yer ass.

Thanks Andy ^^ I don't f*k around lol...

I talked with a few beyonders the other week and they said a lad named "chase" had it (who was supposed to have it initially)... then, it turns out when he was asked, that he doesn't all of the sudden... Its out there, I'd just like it back >

I have never personally talked to/met him... 1992GTsT (a member on here) - was sure a guy named "chase" had it... I offered some custom machining in return for some info but I never heard back...

Kinda bothered by the whole fact that speedtech somehow provided a custom piece and didn't get payment for it...

I pm'd 1992GTsT about the cover... no response in over a week > Someone knows who has it, its just a matter of time before it turns up

gretz

10-19-2010, 10:30 AM

Still no answer from 1992GTsT... Im pretty sure he knows who has it (seemed pretty sure of it before he knew it was mine / stolen)...

I'll machine something of choice (within reason say, $100 value) to the person that leads to its return...

gretz

10-27-2010, 11:32 AM

Well, it doesn't look like it's going to turn up...

-no answer back from the member on here that was sure he knew who had it...
-No-one knows a guy in the car community by the name of "Chase", who was the last person to have it supposedly

This really sucks... it makes it hard to trust people after I have been screwed over, ripped off for parts made and no longer wanted (out money / time / and left with something custom for someone else's application) , parts just plain stolen... WTF?

I try to help people, machine quality custom parts for next to nothing and I just keep getting shit on (so it feels) - ruins it for others in the future

thanks guys for keeping an eye open for me...

11-23-2010, 11:24 AM

Well, it's not looking like I'm getting any co-operation from 1992GTsT on the matter... Hasn't returned any calls, e-mails, or pms... No help there

What do you guys think I should do? I don't want to let it die

FraserB

11-23-2010, 11:31 AM

Post up a stolen thread in General. Someone knows this kid and the weight of Beyond will get him to squeal, it will be even worse since he is a member. No one wants their life ruined over $100 of parts.

Yeah this is horseshit. Always gets my goat when a nice guy gets fucked over like this.

Beyond CSI does have a pretty good track-record though, so here's hoping the douche in question is outed.

FraserB

11-23-2010, 04:02 PM

Change the title to "1992GTsT refuses to name thief", get his real name and post that up too. He is just as guilty if he knows who this is and isn't doing anything about it.

gretz

12-09-2010, 10:04 AM

Well, still nothing... havn't heard back from that user - its going to be funny if it turns up on a car at one of the summer meets lol.

Keep at it Beyond

Start watching forums, it'll likely turn up on a car in fucking Kansas or something now.

Lowlifes.... :thumbsdow

What's the story with 1992GTsT and the sudden, continued silence?

Someone find out who THAT is and elicit a response from them.

Ya, he's not responding to anything... odd as he wanted me to do some custom "stuff" for his skyline

I'll see if I can dig up his # and email...

Thanks all for doing what you are doing, this won't go un-noticed;)

Thanks again everyone

No heat on you lol... figured that it wasn't you, which is why I wanted you to "chime-in"...

12-09-2010, 06:39 PM

Maybe it'll help if you start naming names, as in who you know had it first, who he claimed had it next, and who had it after that, etc...

Up until now, everything's been pretty vague.

gretz

12-09-2010, 06:54 PM

This is what I got...

-A guy named Chase took the cover from Speedtech to try/fit/etc.. he drives a dark blue 240

-Speedtech closed, cover was gone (assumed it was put somewhere during the move)

-A few months later, I sold a BOV to a couple of guys (one of them got in touch with me through beyond... 1992GTsT who hasn't been in touch since, the other was driving a beige 180sx with a black hood and maroon colored painted trim around the shifter...)

-I mentioned one of my covers went missing and the driver of the 180 replied, "Chase has it"... They claimed they would get in touch with him as "its probably a misunderstanding"...

-No luck contacting either of the two guys... No returned pm / e-mails

So you did work FOR speedtech who lost the piece?
So isn't it speedtech's responsibility? Legally?

Zephyr

If the person tries to eBay that piece I'll make sure it gets vero off. My company is good friends with Greddy and we help each other vero crap on eBay.

That's one of mine I did... When I met up with him (he bought some parts off me), he was telling me about this badass coilpack cover he got. I asked him if he's seen a Greddy one like it, to which him and 1992gtst responded "Chase has it or another buddy has it"

I offered a reward / free machining / etc... if they can get me some info, since then I've been avoided
