That's a well known fook up on most forums.
Guys name is "Vlad" and if you read the whole story, the excuses he gives out are totally unbelievable, especially the one about the shipping company damaging the car, then having the whole car re-sprayed before delivery to Yan

I have come to accept the fact that biblically it is not right for one to take another to court (1 Cor 6, Mathew 18:15-17...)
Morality of a child.
If he followed scripture so closely he would know driving an m3 is "biblically ... not right" or passing judgement on Vlad or exposing him was biblically incorrect. (Luke 6.37)
Shame about the shoddy work on the car but he didn't fight for the work to be corrected.
He's the bigger mug and the bible basher line doesn't wash. I doubt this story is as clean cut as it is made out.

Was deleted by a mod for some reason. The Polish plumber spec of it was poor though!
Vlad also built that m3 touring in blue/purple. Didn't the car turn out to be a ringer? Shoddy work too with the m3 arches welded straight on top of the existing ones

Just go to Gunni's thread about the e30 M50 turbo 400+bhp. Last few pages are amusing.ross_jsy wrote:What the guy on here?snakebrain wrote:Where's that thread about the guy having a turbo manifold built?

Had to go back and read it, how is he still posting like nothing has happened! I would be too embarrassed to show my face without full refunds to the parties involved

Definately sounds a bit less clear cut than the thread makes out, the customer is a soldier so he's likley to have a lot of "brothers in arms " so you'd think if it was a clear cut rip off they'd pay Mr Vlad a visit with some baseball "momentos" especially given his gobby replies when questioned.

Oh mate, I agree.ross_jsy wrote:Had to go back and read it, how is he still posting like nothing has happened! I would be too embarrassed to show my face without full refunds to the parties involved
He's posting advice in various threads around the place still. How he has the cajones to give people advice when his service is shown as it is in that thread, I'll never know.

I have to admit his advice is generally very good, can't fault him on anything I have seen but the fact he is posting dyno results etc of his work where the past 2 pages are demanding answers is nothing short of despicable.
He should get a warning below his username like bad sellers get
