Erik Scott Stahr. AVOID

Will do Chris. But that coilover kit appeals to me... only about $40 more than H&R races anyhow...

I know that I can use the front strut tubes and everything off my car... but then I wont have anything to drive atleast for a weekend while I get them cut, welded and painted... lame

[ck_taft325is]

'eh... depends what you get, honestly. I know a good set of Sports or if you want a stiffer ride Race's from H&R are a fantastic setup. I loved my H&R Race's with E90 drop hats. If you go that route, let me know. I'll make a weekend trip up there to help you install or vice versa. Shouldn't take more than a few hours to install and you'll be happy with the results. The biggest thing will be the shocks price wise.

I have OEM Bilsteins struts from May 2010. I was hoping I can sell those when its all said and done. I dont want to blow them with lowering springs..

Taft what do you think I am looking at price wise for both of the front spring perch assemblies?

[ck_taft325is]

Let me take a look in the stupid garage. I think I still have half sets of lowering springs kicking around. Might be able to get you at least a little further in your search. Although, you plan sounds better than mine.

lol nope. I am buying a deck here on Black Friday and a $65 Infinity 12... then building my own version of Luke's box.

I want the German Engineering coilover conversion kit... and buy some used front strut tubes whatever they are called. Then clean em up and powder coat them so my car would only be out of commission for a day or so.

Bilstein sports with 450/650... woot

[ck_taft325is]

lol so glad I have no part in anything like this on here... ever

However, Taft is a great guy. Well he gave me that impression. Cant say I have met Erik

Thanks, Andrew.

You lower your car yet?

That seems quite typical of Erik to not show up with everything and say he will get it to you later

Bought MHW tails from Avery - showed up with $50 lower than the agreed price, told Avery he would paypal the rest of the money and game him a extra set of tails to show his good will. Never paypaled the money.

Thanks, Tom. I was looking for that one.

[ck_taft325is]

Lol. Dude, you fail to realize that this isn't my life. It doesn't affect me, and it doesn't matter. I'm sure there are mistakes made by both parties, but the way you handle your problems appears to be very ineffective, couple that with the fact that you're always surrounded by drama and I want people to have a heads up of that.

That said, that single PM looks as if things still need to be worked out between the two of you - I don't know all the details and I don't want to solve this issue, that's not my job. What I do want to do is point out the consistent drama that seem to surround you.

PS: Show me where I mentioned greg? PPS: Please show me how I'm being rude when you consistently insult me? I realize I'm not saying great things about you, but I'm only sharing my perspective and trying to avoid hurling insults.

Reference: I am NOT a "boy toy" or, as you implied homosexual. Thanks.

Clayton, apologies. Honestly, I don't mind you coming in and being rude or biased or even against me 100%. But, the facts haven't changed. Which leads me to this...

In all seriousness, ck_taft325is should have started this thread with the details to justify why we should all avoid Erik. The first post seemed more retaliatory than anything but it does seem there’s validity to the story as it is coming out.

Completely correct but, I was on my phone in the lunch room at work after being screwed on my way to work by Erik and having what I thought was a friend be sort of a jack ass to me about it. Reasons, not so much excuses.

These are the facts. The original statement in the thread holds true. I've filed papers as Erik still wont even just man up and contact me about it.

Truth, I mean $50 isn't all the much money. It was more that fact of being served like that. He is scummy.

[HarukoE30]

A noobie with actual smart things to say...wow.
Shouldnt you be asking silly questions like what the difference between early and late model cars are??? Lol

Welcome to the zoo :)

Why thank you :up:

You don't mean to be, you just are rude?

That's rich coming from Greg's boy toy. Say, where is the other side of the story? You keep eluding that there's another side to Greg's story but refuse to divulge any of it and you keep bringing it up.

On topic, did Erik tell you noted and informed him of every issue? Like the remote start for instance. I showed him, told him and have witnesses of me doing both. But, you can't solve stupid with information apparently. The next day I get a text about how he "didn't know" and "remote started it into the side of his work" which I later found out to mean he remote started it into his head because he's careless. That same S50 car with the rattling VANOS and no mechanical or electrical fan? That's the same car your boyfriend Greg put together and "had $1,200-$1,400" into the motor fixing all the "issues" with it.

Maybe you should stop making points now and get off my case.

So you agree to buy a vehicle from a dealer. They say it has no wheels. You still say, "no, no, you don't have to sell it to me. I'm already sold!" (actual quote). Then you sign a legally binding contract with the dealer. Two months later, you realize you didn't get what you wanted! Now you're mad and refuse to pay the dealer! You're so hurt!

Who's at fault here?

By the way, the S50 car drove in and drove out of there with wheels. His wheels. Not mine or Stacey's. I'm not sure what he's crying about? You make a deal, you man up. You seem to lack that understanding, Clayton. You keep making excuses about stories and two sides and yadda yadda, "consider the source" but have zero actual input that means dick.

Thanks.

I sold a 1991 318i to Chris (CKtaft) and the transaction couldn't have gone smoother. He did everything he said he would do, I told and showed him all the issues I had a problem with on the car. He understood what he was getting, as did I. No drama involved.

That being said Chris is not the first local member to have issues with Erik and it is not looking good for him... If the written bill of sale was the same as that PM, he will lose in court.
I need more information, but he is most likely going to be banned from r3v as well, seeing as he got away with ripping off another member on here without any sort of reprimand from us (mods/admins) and went ahead and did it again to someone else. That isn't exactly someone we want to have around selling and trading stuff, we dont need another Erik fucked me over thread in 6 months.
