Anil, honestly bro...if I were you I'd tell Rodney to handle it on his own. You've done more than enough. It's his business (literally and figuratively). Your involvement has been so helpful to do many members, but Rodney's evasiveness is unacceptable. He needs to be the one responding, not you. I'm totally turned off by all of this and will be posting about this on vsixp.

Idk how you haven't blown up already; especially considering people get on your case. You volunteered to help, not run the operation. My .02.

Sounds like everything is finally working out!
New product, sh*t like this goes down...can't help it. Seems like almost ALL our vendors could learn a thing or two about communication and keeping the customer informed. Most people don't mind waiting for something if the expectation is set...no communication feels like you got mugged in an alley and are patiently waiting for your wallet to be returned.

And yes, I'm part of the "not buying but chiming in" demographic but definitely don't consider it adding fuel to anything.

Sonnick i completely agree man....and it would be easy to just stop posting and not worry about posting here and just have Rodney send my shit and call it a day....but i guess thats the difference between a member who is on here to help and a member who is on here to add sarcastic comments even thow he has not bought the product or intend to....look couple pages back and you will see a whole lot of people just posting even thow they dont know the story....

anyway i will continue to give updates from my side whenever i get anything from Rodney and if people have a problem with that i bet they will have to learn to live with it....

to be fair, Anil...nobody but the end customer and Rodney truly "know the story". As much as you would like to think you're involved, you know what you're told.

And don't take that as an attack. Our cockfights generally always end up with both of us going home sad.

correction in BOLD, Jer....i dont take things over here personally as am not here to add stress to my life...am here to learn more about my car and ways to make it faster/suit my needs better

second, i do know the story....I have interacted with EVERY member on the GB...whether it was Peter for the refund or Ryan with change of address or Aaron for tuning and install.....as a matter of fact you have come to this conclusion without knowing the story....

again lets not derail this thread with our cockfight which makes you sad....if you have some update or some questions about your purchase, post em up !!!

EDIT: none of my comments are personal attacks to you as well man....just wanted this to be noted....

Mike- no disrespect at all bro. This has nothing to do with you.

Anil/rodney- even the thought of giving it to him is blasphemy. Then to say to complete his order as to impose my ECU isn't ready either??? My ecu knock monitr and harness are all that I'm missingand should all be ready to ship as well to complete my order. Rodney sending JUST the ecu to noober was to quiet him down. I will not sit down and just wait any longer for new harnesses to become available again.

You're such fkin know it all. NO, if you are not the person on one end of the line dealing with the person on the other end of the line then you only know what you're told...oh wait, in this case you are so I stand corrected. But it's your business, right? Oh wait, no?! But you're getting a cut, right?! Oh wait no...so what's in it for you oh great altruistic one?! Nothing? Ironic that you called ME the ass licker?

Since your'e so involved and feel that you can dictate who and what gets posted where without even being a flea on a moderators nuts, why don't you stop placating, telling people how to feel and get these fkn people their product or their money back already.

Apologizing for my piece this last round and saying I was having a rough week at work was a gentleman's approach to keep the peace with you and for my part in it, not an opportunity for you to absolve your assholishness and then throw it in my face repeatedly.

Read your posts...other than with Rodney and Tim, do you EVER admit when you're wrong. Do they have naked pictures of you in compromising positions with goats or something?

See ya!

EDIT: I'm writing this with a smile on my face and laughter in my heart, believe that, my friend. It's all good since we love each other! That's what friends do!

No disrespect taken over here! We're all waiting for our shit to come in the mail. We're all in the same boat, waiting on false promises. He hasn't shut me up by sending me just the ECU unit. I'm on vacation, and still constantly checking in to see when and where the fuck my stuff is coming. So I can inform my friend to go over to my place to wait for the stuff to come. If I could get an instant refund I would have awhile ago.
This is by far the worst service to customers I have ever experienced. As soon as I get my stuff, I'm never doing business with JnR again. /rant.

Alex, you can get your harness first it doesn't matter to me, it was just because I was promised mine the week after my ECU arrived. But then again, promises with this business is short lived.

If that's aimed at me in any way, I apologize to the thread and AZ for not just taking that offline. It was just friendly back and forth with Anil as per usual.

Back on topic.

Update: Like Anil has said a couple times already, Rodney called me this morning to apologize for not getting back to me and not mailing my money when he originally said he would (last Monday 6/11). He also said he mailed my check today and it should arrive about Tuesday. He said he will send me the tracking number as well, which I have yet to receive.

I have still not received my check, still no tracking number from Rodney like he said he would send last Saturday, and he has not answered my calls, returned my calls, or texted me back. And he still has not come on this thread to answer for any of this.

Not to add more fuel to the fire, but, thankfully, I didn't get the ECU quite yet.

LOL...meaning you didn't order it, or you didn't receive it?!

I get the impression that Rodney just needs a lot more time than he anticipated, which he's buying by giving out target dates and responding here and there. A little unorthodox but I really don't think he has the intention of just keeping anyone's money. I'm sure everyone will receive their products eventually. He also didn't anticipate having to return anyone's money.

I didn't mean to get on Anil either, because honestly...he's getting strung along with the information he's being provided too. At least he's trying to keep the vendor in a good light.

He'd be better served just coming on (R, not A) and saying hey all, I ran into trouble...I won't be able to get ALL the ECU's out till January of next year and then at least people will have a real expectation that he can actually meet.

Nah I didn't order it. I was on the original list, but ran into a few problems. Although, I could've ordered it maybe a week after the group buy "ended", I thought to myself that I'm going to use the people in GB as guinea pigs and make sure they work 100%. Granted, they're several turbo guys already using it, but I just want to make sure. Not bashing Swoosh or Rodney, just a precautionary measure is all.

I do find you and Swoosh's arguments very amusing.

^^^ yeah am in the same boat as all over here....am also waiting for my stuff.....i have paid long back and just waiting....if Rodney decides to flee i will be sobbing with everyone else on here (some might be laughing but well)....

i stopped giving out updates on this thread because of what happened in the previous page and earlier on this page...its just not worth it anymore to actually keep calling Rodney and ask about Alex's or Peter's or Mike's update and tell him to ship my ECU to them or whatever...doesnt pay off to be selfless....being selfish is the way to go around here...

So libert69 said it would work, but I really need Rodney to chime in on this, just to confirm and help me move this ecu. I really need the cash to fix my turbo Civic!

where do you think i got my answer from?

edit - i was running an auto oem ecu on my 6spd mt with a mt oem wiring harness at first. just kept the center plug unplugged (5 for plugs for auto, 4 plugs for mt) unplugged and it works
