The truth once and for all
The truth once and for all
Now we are at the point of things have gone south. Days had gone by, i went on spring break and come back(though I am not completely sure of the date, either way quite a few days had past since they left) Remember no ill words were said over my spring break. They werent fired as they had once claimed. They were spose to come back and finish. Then I received the BILL Cack has posted here more then once. A- That bill was for a finished swap they had not yet finished B-I had the money to pay every penny C- I had two issues that I asked about...1 was the 20 shift plate, since that was the first time I saw the price, 2 was the tranny at 250. The two of them have already admitted that the extra money on the tranny would cover their expenses. The bill was 200 higher then I had thought on the cheaper tranny. I had a lot more then 200 in cash, it wasnt the money. I had said it was how they tried getting it. Also this is like my 2nd discussion ever with Cack, and he says he is doing the talking for Steph since she is nagging him to do so and getting him fired up. They still werent fired or anything. But Cack starts talking about repossing things he already put on the car, it went to pettyville. Yes I mentioned taking the $30 bit off the bill since I had already said I would never use it you take it. So when the bill was 200 higher, I said well take that off. he was being petty, so I came back with pettiness. Pay attention to the XX's.

RIBZ80: no I am getting #### for not being prepared, when axles were discussed and the right shifter, which wasnt brought
RIBZ80: I dont give a #### that you it didnt go exactly as planned.
RIBZ80: but I dont want #### over axles that wasnt my fault or struts
RIBZ80: and the bearing #### is just not right
RIBZ80: you made a deal, I am keeping my end by paying for ####
RIBZ80: part of the deal was $35 for bearings that yuo PUT on my car then had my throw away mine

RIBZ80: RIBZ80: so 750 for tranny swap and parts, and 125 for brake swap and parts
StephMartinZ26: i need to see about the mounts still
RIBZ80: yeah
StephMartinZ26: but so far yeah
RIBZ80: so that would leave 450 plus 40 for bearings
RIBZ80: and that included the BRAKE LINES

RIBZ80: no
RIBZ80: I said lets wait and take a rest and do it right
RIBZ80: I am sure steph was happier that way

edethloff returned at 4:57:03 PM.
RIBZ80: I am back from class and now have all the info
RIBZ80: sounds like I am just going to have to send your tools back and save you a trip out here
edethloff is idle at 5:20:44 PM.
OK moral of the story. Pages back cack had said he didnt blame me for the struts, look at his text it says it right there. And he talks of all the parts not being there, but once again they were covered in my talks with steph as bringing them as backups just in case. I WOULD NOT HAVE LET THEM COME DOWN IF EVERYSINGLE PART WAS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR FIRST The money he is saying he is owed is to FINISH the swap. They still were not fired. IN reality Steph was talking to Geoff and was refusing to finish, I will post that next, stay tuned

The truth once and for all
Here is Geoff's convo with Steph he sent me. I was still hoping they would come back to finish, THEN they would get the rest of their money. I had plenty left, even with the 200 higher for the tranny "or their costs". But in reality when Cack was talking to me and being petty about reposessing parts, Steph was already saying she was done.
StephMartinZ26: he's got all the "extra money" lying around to buy momo #### and sparco shift pedals and he's nickel and diming us to death
StephMartinZ26: and i'm not going to put up with it i dont have time
BMS Redrocket: yeah
StephMartinZ26: so he needs to decide what he is going to do
StephMartinZ26: he would rather have it looking all pretty then have it done right
StephMartinZ26: but i'm not going to argue with him
StephMartinZ26: its not worth it
StephMartinZ26: that trans costed $65 +35 for the core
BMS Redrocket: wow
StephMartinZ26: plus $10 for the mounts
BMS Redrocket: nice and cheap
BMS Redrocket: driving it around yet?
StephMartinZ26: we are not going to finish ribz's swap
BMS Redrocket: eh?
StephMartinZ26: we lost money going there
StephMartinZ26: he is not making up for our expenses
BMS Redrocket: you can't just start something and not finish it
BMS Redrocket: especially in that scenario
StephMartinZ26: well he's not helping up
StephMartinZ26: us
StephMartinZ26: we could have just stayed home
StephMartinZ26: and not worried about what we had to do
BMS Redrocket: erich said he was doing it because he wanted to help him out
StephMartinZ26: yeah but we lost $2000 by going there
BMS Redrocket: "it isn't about the money" is something I recall him saying
StephMartinZ26: plus the gas and etc
StephMartinZ26: hotel
BMS Redrocket: $2000? honestly...
StephMartinZ26: yes
StephMartinZ26: ebay
StephMartinZ26: we only made $700 that week
BMS Redrocket: perhaps it was poor timing on your part
StephMartinZ26: well we ebay every sunday
StephMartinZ26: i dont see how it was poor timing
BMS Redrocket: knowing that you weren't going to be there to ebay, you could have planned around that
StephMartinZ26: well i dont feel as though its worthwhile for him to nickel and dime us even though we paid for a hotel and gas
StephMartinZ26: its not worth it
StephMartinZ26: he can pay a shop $400 to finish it
BMS Redrocket: he has a strict budget
StephMartinZ26: yeah for his wheels
BMS Redrocket: eh
BMS Redrocket: I can understand the lack of compensation...
BMS Redrocket: but
BMS Redrocket: and this is not intended to piss you or erich off
StephMartinZ26: i'm not pissed
StephMartinZ26: we agreed $250 to be the cost first
StephMartinZ26: for the trans
BMS Redrocket: I feel (my opinion) is that by leaving him stranded, and choosing to not finish, is immoral
StephMartinZ26: that would have covered everything on our part
StephMartinZ26: he agreed towards that
BMS Redrocket: that was a different trans
StephMartinZ26: we never said anything about the cost of that
BMS Redrocket: it's an implied difference
BMS Redrocket: example
BMS Redrocket: if I was going to buy a part that was found to be broken, I would not pay the same price for a part that was it's replacement if the replacement part was cheaper
StephMartinZ26: ?
BMS Redrocket: you guys are charging him $250 for a trans that was found to be bad, and the trans that was used as it's replacement was what, $65?
StephMartinZ26: it wasnt bad
BMS Redrocket: big diifferences among thte trans
StephMartinZ26: just missing parts that i had in another garage
BMS Redrocket: 70K and 190K
StephMartinZ26: i dont understand what your talking about
BMS Redrocket: the trans you guys had in your "inventory"
BMS Redrocket: was a low mileage
StephMartinZ26: it was missing a couple of bolts
BMS Redrocket: that ended up having a broken bell housing? or something like that
StephMartinZ26: well it had one bolt hole tab broken would not affect operation
StephMartinZ26: i could have jb welded it together real quick
BMS Redrocket: if it was negligible, then why wasn't it used?
StephMartinZ26: because we needed mounts
BMS Redrocket: what year trans was it?
StephMartinZ26: 89
BMS Redrocket: mounts are simple enough to get, I told you guys that the parts car the trans was yanked from was complete
StephMartinZ26: erich says it was a 90
BMS Redrocket: 87-91 trans mounts are same
StephMartinZ26: it does not have the intermediate shaft
BMS Redrocket: could have been used from the car in the yard up here
StephMartinZ26: it has the aluminum one that does not bolt to the trans
BMS Redrocket: time for class, i'll be online later
This all came to blow up over the 2nd tranny that was used. Thats when things got ugly. Even Geoff thought they were coming back to finish at this point. I was left with a screwed up car. Geoff was busy and did not want to do this. He had to call me and inform me they were done and it was on him to come through for me.
StephMartinZ26: he's got all the "extra money" lying around to buy momo #### and sparco shift pedals and he's nickel and diming us to death

The truth once and for all
This isnt that relevant but I want it off my PC. It was Geoff and I talking. I had a conscious over this. I wasnt out to shaft anyone. And was tossing and turning to give them more money. Evryone insisted they were screwing me and leaving me to die and I shouldnt give them a penny. But I still was unsure. But today I am glad I didnt and stuck to my guns. Once again I have tried to get a hold of Geoff and let him know I was posting things with him in it. But I was unsucessful so hopefully he isnt mad.
RIBZ80: back
BMS Redrocket: back
RIBZ80: I bet you they forgot a one on 15500 hehe
RIBZ80: I mean thats just too good to be true
BMS Redrocket: yeah
BMS Redrocket: it would be hella nice though
RIBZ80: you could say that
RIBZ80: Kate will be here tmro
RIBZ80: I cleaned the place since I will have company hehe
RIBZ80: they havent tried to contact me since the last convo with Erich you read
BMS Redrocket: cool deal
RIBZ80: they are waiting on me to beg
BMS Redrocket: i'm surprised they didn't IM me since i've been on today
RIBZ80: yeah
BMS Redrocket: I don't know why I don't have them blocked... ugh
RIBZ80: I bet they'll IM you b4 they IM me
RIBZ80: eventually I will probably block them when this is all done
BMS Redrocket: that's how it should be
BMS Redrocket: i think you need to rethink the amount you are going to give them
BMS Redrocket: but that's just my personal opinion
RIBZ80: I havent given em anything more yet
RIBZ80: the more they wait the less it will be
BMS Redrocket: they are trying to #### you over, there is no reason to be generous in their deception
RIBZ80: nope
BMS Redrocket: i think anything over 200 is too much
RIBZ80: yeah
BMS Redrocket: i mean paying for the parts, that's fine
BMS Redrocket: since that is the right thing to do
RIBZ80: I am just afraid they would go as far and try a lawyer or just annoy me to death
RIBZ80: yeah I should pay for parts but not 250 for that tranny hehe
BMS Redrocket: exactly
BMS Redrocket: i don't think they will
RIBZ80: with the tranny costing 125 It would be a total of like 480-510 for parts
RIBZ80: there tally is closer to 650 thanks to 250 for that tranny
RIBZ80: and considering most of it is JY ####
RIBZ80: thats a bit high
RIBZ80: then there is the 400 labor for a job unfinsihed
RIBZ80: they have 425 so far via paypal
RIBZ80: I have another email to foward you
BMS Redrocket: send away
RIBZ80: sent
RIBZ80: this was the price email that sparked it
RIBZ80: I'll IM you my reply to the email after you read it
BMS Redrocket: k
RIBZ80: he is also playing a game of now refusing to give me the part number for the shift plate
RIBZ80: a way of making me keep his pos
RIBZ80: I'll sell this one down the road
BMS Redrocket: do you have the trunk popper button on the shift plate?
RIBZ80: on this one, yes
BMS Redrocket: did you have it on yor auto one?
BMS Redrocket: and are you going to add it

RIBZ80: I mean thats just too good to be true
BMS Redrocket: yeah
BMS Redrocket: it would be hella nice though
RIBZ80: you could say that
RIBZ80: Kate will be here tmro
RIBZ80: I cleaned the place since I will have company hehe
RIBZ80: they havent tried to contact me since the last convo with Erich you read
BMS Redrocket: cool deal
RIBZ80: they are waiting on me to beg
BMS Redrocket: i'm surprised they didn't IM me since i've been on today
RIBZ80: yeah
BMS Redrocket: I don't know why I don't have them blocked... ugh
RIBZ80: I bet they'll IM you b4 they IM me
RIBZ80: eventually I will probably block them when this is all done
BMS Redrocket: that's how it should be
BMS Redrocket: i think you need to rethink the amount you are going to give them
BMS Redrocket: but that's just my personal opinion
RIBZ80: I havent given em anything more yet
RIBZ80: the more they wait the less it will be
BMS Redrocket: they are trying to #### you over, there is no reason to be generous in their deception
RIBZ80: nope
BMS Redrocket: i think anything over 200 is too much
RIBZ80: yeah
BMS Redrocket: i mean paying for the parts, that's fine
BMS Redrocket: since that is the right thing to do
RIBZ80: I am just afraid they would go as far and try a lawyer or just annoy me to death
RIBZ80: yeah I should pay for parts but not 250 for that tranny hehe
BMS Redrocket: exactly
BMS Redrocket: i don't think they will
RIBZ80: with the tranny costing 125 It would be a total of like 480-510 for parts
RIBZ80: there tally is closer to 650 thanks to 250 for that tranny
RIBZ80: and considering most of it is JY ####
RIBZ80: thats a bit high
RIBZ80: then there is the 400 labor for a job unfinsihed
RIBZ80: they have 425 so far via paypal
RIBZ80: I have another email to foward you
BMS Redrocket: send away
RIBZ80: sent

The truth once and for all
And here is the last thing I have.  This was a fight on BNet with Jc and cack.  Jc made a slam to cack about what he did to my car, since he knew the whole story.  For months none of this was mentioned on the board.  This convo is to show why I came out of no where throwing fists as Cack said earlier.  People like JC haved IMed me for months to post it and "slam" them, get them banned, etc etc.  But each time I say one day, not now.  It gets kind of annoying.  Atleast after this I wont get that anymore.  Frankly I think I did pretty good keeping this off the board for as long as I have.  I was not a Bfest where the two of them had an open venue without me there.
REVON25: Jamie, Geoff and I talked today....do a feed back on the web on Erich and Steph.
REVON25 returned at 7:33:32 PM.
RIBZ80: really?
REVON25: yup, I aint't going to stop you, and neither is Geoff
RIBZ80: I would prefer bot to for awhile
RIBZ80: I mean it will just be finger pointing and get ugle
RIBZ80: I would rather finish my car first
REVON25: Cover your ###, just send Jim (lugnutz) an email or pm and let him know that you talked to us, and what Erich did to you!
RIBZ80: whats his email addy
REVON25: Erich isn't going to help you finish it,
RIBZ80: or I can PM him
RIBZ80: no I know
RIBZ80: but when my car is done
RIBZ80: not by them, but done
REVON25: then don't worry about Erich
RIBZ80: I dont care about erich
REVON25: put him in shame
RIBZ80: but he is going to try to trach me on the board and others will think they have the right to jump in
RIBZ80: I have too much #### going on to graduatr right now to waste too much breathe on him
RIBZ80: he is worthless
RIBZ80: I'll open my mouth later

Quote (spacecadetz26 @ Dec. 24 2004,13:14)frankly i just think you are looking for an easy way to pass the blame for your lack of maturity about the situation. but thats just my $.02.  I could care less if you know how to work on cars.  I dont care what it cost you. I just know you were not willing to pay what was agreed. and therefore took out any sort of organization if any that I had. I take pity on your desperation. but keep up the good work.
Lack of maturity? Look at the two of you and everything about yourselves before you dare even mention maturity. And it doesnt get through to you. I was willing to pay, I had 1800 for this and we were far from that figure. I was willing to pay 100 for a tranny and XXX for your expenses, but NOT willing to pay 250 for the tranny with you assuming I didnt know what it was and then crying how it will cover your expenses weeks after the fact. I said all along I didnt want surprises. This wasnt about money, I had more then enough. I felt like you two were trying to sneak something buy me. 250 and 100+150 is the same amount of money, but 250 for a tranny without being up front is no longer about money. You guys just dont get it and will go around in circles.
organization? I tried to make sure we had a back up part for anything that I couldnt get. Look at all the things you forgot from the jackstands, to the right shifter, mounts etc etc before you talk aboutmy organization. I slept at your place, or your parts haven in a sea of random parts strewn about, you guys are the kings of organization(yes that was a flame, but I am long over due)

Quote (ErichZ26 @ Dec. 24 2004,13:38)Just so you know, your mom only sent me $425 not $450
"RIBZ80:  at this point he had $450 of my money, which covered all parts including the tranny at $65 NOT 250"
Where was it said that we were purchasing you a new flywheel and axles?
I used my Mom's paypal account so I could get you money right away as I only had cash and you were 300 miles away. I still had to pay her back in cash so dont try and burn me....I met your mom remember?
Yes you are right it was 425, not 450.
It was never said you were going to purchase me a new axle or flywheel. I would tell steph that I would try and get transportation and get the parts myself. At a certain point you guys were on so many parts runs she MIGHT have said she would try and get them new for me, but I have NO PROOF. So I showed you the convo where I said bring your USED ones as back up. She AGREED.

Quote (ErichZ26 @ Dec. 24 2004,14:35)I was going over the list, we have all reciepts.
brake upgrade  (Rotors/Pads/Calipers/knuckles/knuckle bolts &nuts) $130
Wheel Bearings $40
flywheel bolts  $20 (6)
flywheel $25
Synchromesh Trans Fluid  $22 (3)
5spd Trans $250
Shift plate  $20
Shifter $15

Brake Fluid  $3.30

2 solderless connectors $2.30
Threadlock  $6.00
Antisieze  $6.30
more  ?
This is an approximate
Labor $400
This list was created upon my return it included items that were not on hand and not my responsibility.
You have a figure of $875, where is this figure from?  There were some petty items that were added but not to add to the bill.  FYI if some people are interested, the bolts all GM and new, and some other new items were cost, nothing added for profit.
This project did perhaps go over budget on Jamie's end as he has his own list from brake lines, struts, MOMO. ÂÂÂ
This IS one of the main keys to not returning to Detroit.
Either one of us can sit here and write down that Erich and Stephanie were to complete a job for a set price but when buyer is supplying location, unseen car, and his own parts all is up in air. ÂÂÂ
A tool for example was purchased, a stepping drill which is a general hardware tool, and not specific to this swap was purchased,  Jamie gave me the tool and deducted it from my pay.  This is a grey area, but gives you an idea of the penny pinching going on here.
The figure of 875 was there along with Steph, I already posted it. I was fine with your tally, just questioned the 250 for the shifter and 20 for that beat up plate as it was the first time I saw a price for it. The issue about the tranny was dicussed time and again in my replies.
It didnt go over budget for my "goodies' , they totaled under 200 and I spent nearly 2000. That would have covered everything in the world if you stayed and did the swap the right way. It only went so high fixing many of the things you did wrong or rebuying parts that werent up to snuff from you.
All your prices are for a job completed, we never hit 1000 parts and labor. I had 1800 cash. You can keep posting that parts list all day, you never finished the job. All you had to do was explain the break up of the 250 for the tranny as, say 100 for the tranny and 150 for hotel and gas and much of this would have never happened. You guys went into PMS nutzo girl mode and she bitched at you and refused to finish and got you all riled up. I politely questioned the 250 for the tranny and 20 for the shift knob. Then things hit the fan and she was on with Geoff refusing to finish.
The tool was brought up as a petty thing only after you were being shady. I would never use it, I still have it and will send it to you...get over it.

My God, this thread is going to give "War and Peace" a run for it's money. ÂÂÂ
And to think, this all started because of a pillow, porn, and engagement ring.
Rex, where's that beer, I'm off the wagon.

Well this place has been dead and dying.  I saw some of the people here saying they missed drama and a good fight.  I brought it, rapped up in a bow for Xmas.  Me and my girl are opening a bottle of wine, we are out of beer

This thread is crazy!! Jamie actually wore me out on this one.. holy crap I'm tired --
All we need is people from other forums to come over here and post in this one. They can say where they are from, and who they are siding with..
"Hey, Joe here checking in from the SRT-Forums, I'm with Ribz!!"
"Hello--Mike here from w-body forum, I'm with Erich n Steph"

I never once asked you to pay for my hotel room or gas. Never once... Where is the im about saving all the conversations so there are no suprises? I was not planning on "surprising" you with extra costs thats why.
I never once told you that I would charge you cost on the transmission so i dont understand why paying $250 is ripping you off.
Still the trans costs $135 and you only wanted to pay $65 because thats what Geoff said. You never AGAIN told me to bring usuable axles, but cores because you were to buy *NEW* ones at autozone in Detroit along with your fidanza flywheel. I got axles but from a 5spd 2.4 isuzu grand am for cores. since new ones are $60 a piece when you have cores to help you get the best parts for the money. You wanted brand new wheel bearings, brand new axles, and a new flywheel. I brought all cores "assuming" autozone carried them in stock like they do in Chicago. But #### hit the fan when autozone didnt have anything we needed.
A smart person would think that if the flywheel was not machined, it could have been because it was meant for a core... even though it was in really good shape for a used flywheel.
I openly admitted forgetting the jacks, $30 for a set of jack stands isnt alot of money. borrowing them from a friend is priceless though.
RIBZ80: XX we'll make a run to the detroit auotzone and see what we can get XX
edethloff: ok
RIBZ80: XXX flywheel axles and bearings XXX
edethloff: XXXXX we got all that XXXXX
RIBZ80: XXX yeah, mainly as back ups or cores XXX
edethloff: XXXX but i'd get the flywheel XXX
What parts did Geoff get? I'm trying to recall but I believe Geoff was supposed to "scab" the mounts.
RIBZ80: Geoff can scab parts too
RIBZ80: on the phone with him now
StephMartinZ26: i see
That last convo from Erich is missing a prior conversation.
Remember, I offered to do a brake upgrade, and rebuilt struts, install a transmisson with engine mounts, and install clutch/brake pedals for $400? is that really highway robbery? too much to ask? I drove 330 miles, got a room, paid for and removed a greasly 200k mile transmission, CLEANED IT, worked in a school parking garage with a security guard harassment service 20 ft away and cars driving by every 10 minutes. No power outlets, basically no lighting, no water.. Gimme a break.
Shifter plate - $20
Shifter assembly not just arm - $15
penny items. gimme a break.
Once I realized that you were trying to wheel and deal me on the transmission, I decided to take it upon myself that I didnt want to do business with you anymore, since what i paid for the hotel and gas wouldnt have been included since it was never discussed, remember no surprises.. I was royally pissed.
You can see Erichs total as $892, and your total of $850... $42 difference. You never once offered to buy us lunch while we were working, which we did for 14 hours straight. or even be the least thankful for what we were doing for you. You just kept saying how you could give us/me things, honestly you didnt have anything I wanted. I just wanted the experience and to walk away fair and square. I never called you inept. I never called you names. Grow up.

Oh, the other thing that I thought was funny was when Ribz had mentioned "Erich was bashing you, and his mom even called you a weasel!" LOL I got a kick out of that because Erich's mom has called me a weasel (for reasons unknown) to my face even, as far back as I can remember. They have a strange family. And Erich.. talking $hit behind my back??? Nooooo. Can't be. He calls me up on the phone to ##### at me.. tells me I'm a dumba$$ and it takes me 2 years to do an engine swap. And I trash him right back. It's an odd friendship. Like I said, this is why everyone that meets Erich either tangles with him and decides they hate him, or becomes friends with the guy and gets along with him. You have to be able to take the $hit he dishes out though, and dish some right back.
As I said before, my beef with this whole situation is just hearing the circumstances and imagining myself in that situation. It has nothing to do with Erich and Steph.. substitute another name in there.. its still a bum deal for the people who had to do the work for you.
I'm tired of typing Erich and Steph.. from now on, they shall be known as Stephrich. Its quicker.
