If this were about a political race south of the border, I'd say somebody here probably got a pretty hefty La Mordida.

I don't even have the energy or the time to re-hash Vadim's scam of me. Suffice to say, I could post a small novel of e-mails promising a refund that has never arrived. Also scammed for a pair of the worst headers (High Flow Exhaust Manifolds) you could ever imagine. I actually offered Vadim the opportunity to just send me a pair of python Intake Tubes and a CF engine cover which would have been far less money out of his pocket and call it 'even.' He said "Great" and has been giving me the run around ever since. I have written the whole situation off. He is a sorry scammer with no personal integrity. I couldn't sleep at night having ripped anybody off for any amount. Period. For Vadim, its a way of life.

Lets be fair to LET and Eurocharged. As far as I know, That was a merger. Jake started Eurocharged, He was and is good friends With Jerry and other parties in LET.

While LET was focusing on the tuning aspect, Eurocharged was going to make parts. So if I'm right, It just made more scene to get a building together and combine services.... Under the Eurocharged name. Those guys are all friends.. So why not join up together and offer more stuff.

So yeah LET had things to bring to the table and so didnt Jake with his start up, Eurocharged. Plus its a great was to work and spend time with yout friends... and there isnt anything wrong with that.

It sounds to me like most everybody got their money back although a long delay? For those who were not refunded was it due to a R&D joint venture that was cancelled by customers after costs were already incurred (i.e. 63 SC kit)? Why don't we start a list of those who truly did not get a refund after 3 months and the amounts owed/claimed?

Realy, to me it sounds more like MOST of Vadim's customers got screwed... some worse than others.

Rob, why're you smoking Vadim's pipe now? Do you think your new approach is going to change his business ethics?
Boy oh boy, are you in for a nice surprise.

Holy crap man

...those headers look like they've been put together with JB weld!

Barely anyone got their money back, YOU included. Baffling turnaround and while I don't mean to be harsh I have to say what everyone's thinking-- you have no credibility left.

This 180 you have taken has all of us jaw dropped. Its like going back to a girlfriend who cheated on you.

Now you have to answer this question:

Vadim built your motor and then BLOWS IT UP!!!! then sticks you with the tab for the custom pistons, block work and so on... Then only to make you go out and BUY WITH YOUR MONEY a new short block, because he toasted the last one!!!!

If anyone finds that ^^^ wrong chime in.

Did your 55k injectors turn up? There is NO WAY, you and going to get a big power tune with the C55 stock injectors. The duty cycle will be maxed out well before the numbers you want = big time lean.

emoving · 11-03-2009, 08:32 PM

Hooleyboy, every time I read a post of yours I think to myself this guy knows his ****! I am sure the shop you reccomeded him is probally of the same caliber. If I was him, the car would have been towed to your house day one you offered last week!

I was told the same by both Brandon and Cory. At anything over 12psi, I would need bigger injectors regardless of the fuel kit which increases fuel pressure when boost goes up. The Kleemann fuel kit also raises the voltage to the fuel pump to get it to force out more fuel but not enough to match the 14-20psi I hope to achieve.

He's still looking for the injectors and the CM30. I hope to have them by Friday. His storage area is a mess. I got some parts that did not even belong to me like 2 extra thermostats, intake tubes of another model so it's likely he returned to the wrong people by mistake. My patience resevoir won't dry up until Friday evening when I pick up my car.

As for the blown engine (literally and not FI), either the outsourced vendor is responsible or the fire debris caused it. I really don't know but I am fronting the cost of a new engine for now.

I think he needs a secretary to help him stay organized. He shipped out the wrong parts on a few occassions by mistake when dealing with me.

So he swapped your 55k injectors & Johnson pump with 2 old thermostats and some intake piping. That sounds like an honest mistake.

Did he also touch you.... in a way that made you feel imbarassed?

Seriously...If anybody mistakenly got a set of Bosch E55 injectors from Vadim please PM me. I may have your old thermostat that you will need back. As for the Johnson pump consider it a donation to the MB community.

Ohhh man! This is getting pathetic now! It's like a friggin flea market. I cant take it anymore!

This is all too stupid to be real. Or maybe because it is so stupid, that it's actually real

Actually, I think somebody is yanking our collective chains.

AMGSC · 11-03-2009, 10:38 PM

I just read that Havoc's car is out of the shop and running strong with a custom-built 5.7 litre engne built by VRP/FD.

My next step is to have him bore out my old block to 6.1, iron-sleeve it and shoot for ridiculous power with 2 massive ball-bearing turbos now that I know he has successfully done it!!!

Also...if you guys retract your bashes of Vadim, he might even offer you guys his revolutionary top-mount intercoolers. Nobody has done them before and 55K records will be broken once again.

"revolutionary"??? "boosted" or "busted"???....just wondering. how can people fall for the same damn ****? week after week, month after fn month??? " a fool and his money are soon parted" and you god damn deserve it

Seriously, now your a spoksman for the company! WTF is going on here! Seriously...........promise us.......never post a pitty post again if your car blows up and vandim gives you nothing back.....promise us please. This is like a bad Seinfeld episode! Im with 220s,,this is so stupid it is pathetic!

AMGSC · 11-03-2009, 11:21 PM

It's not over until it's over. btw...Why am I so stubborn? Last time I checked VRP/FD cars hold 90% of the MB timeslip records on Dragtimes. Even that Nitrous S600 was Vadim's work I was told.
