I am a RnR supporter through and through, Try not to talk about internet issues, i'm sure Ryan doesn't even take that into consideration, with all the work they are doing. if you haven't personally talked to some one or been to their shop, bad opinions can multiply and spread like cancer. Warrtalon you have a lot influence, and personally i think you have sent me several reply pm's that didn't answer much but had plenty of vendor complaints, i understand the Precision Dyno stuff obviously, but RnR can do some stuff well, From 3" piping to full engine builds.

Yeah from what I have heard when they just did dsm's and hadnt gotten into the evo yet they were doing business very poorly. However, lately I have been hearing good things about them. I guess maybe they have turned themselves around once they specified in evos.

But maybe I can use their past history agaiinst them hehe. Meaning discounted prices cause they need the business. hehehee

O btw rob my phone is messed up for some reason. However, if you want to talk to someone about employment here is one of my work numbers 858-558-4721. Ask for jen. She will help you with any questions or concerns regarding the job. We do need a route driver for murrieta at 1pm everyday. the route itself pays 67.50 and 6.30 for every add on thats in close proximity. So 67.50 times 5 thats 300 a week. Which isnt too bad for only 2hrs of work each day.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. So, you PM me asking for all this help, I respond and help you as much as I can, and then you say that I didn't answer much but had plenty of vendor complaints. Don't you think that's a GROSS exaggeration? I answered all of your questions and tried to help you out. I only mentioned another vendor once, and that was RNR. I said the same thing via PM that I've said here and say anywhere else. It's fine if you support RNR fully, but they've been a plague to the Evo Community for a few years now - and you can see they are no longer a registered vendor here anymore. It takes a LOT for that to happen...

I can't believe you said I didn't answer much but had plenty of vendor complaints when I helped you multiple times and only had one "vendor complaint." I was simply trying to help you when you contacted me, and this is how you thank me? Amazing...I guess that's what I get for actually taking the time to answer so many PMs per day, huh.

Only problem I had with them was the bs about when my TBE was going to arrive. There are many threads about the problems people been having with them.

It is a exagerration, i haven't contacted you enough to have a real opinion other wise. i'm not about to join any Warrtalon haters clubs. It would have been easier to have not said anything, i'm not into messing with people i don't know, It just sounded unfair to discourage people from ordering intercoolers or turbo backs, from Rnr who is trying to do a good job at the least. i don't know **** about the people that weren't happy with them, so i really had nothing to add in the first place.
\sorry

Ok here is what I gathered from a few acquaintences of mine herein san diego who have known ryan for over 3yrs.

THIS IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME.

They said when RnR first started out they did mostlY dsm's and at that time he didnt know much about cars so of course he ended up screwing up and he didnt know how to run a business so he screwed up in that respect too. Then they said once he learned correct business ethics and learned more about cars he stopped doing all dsm's and concentrated on just the evo itself. Once he did this is when his busines started turning around.

Now granted they have screwed up aot in thepast and they are not a vendoranymore but I GUESS THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE AMMENCE. However, IMO the should give discounts to everyone they screwed over in the past. I think I HAVE ENOUGH INFO TO KNOW THAT if ryan wants my business he better come at me with some very good prices. If not I will take my money elsewhere.

I would like to thank everyone who has aided me in this info hunt and you al know who you are.

Thanks

O andbtw there are alot of oldbad threads about rnr and there are some good ones.

I had some issues in the past with them, I am not into vendor bashing so I will just leave it at that. I take my buisness elsewhere now.

So RNR is getting all this crap, but Accolate is still a vendor. No justice.
