Ok, after being deployed and another assignment I finally got back this month and got my stuff out of storage that my wife has been receiving when I order parts. Needless to say I was RAPED... He did not return the original hubs and the one I got is chipped plus they are two different sizes. I bought two brand new rotors and receive this junk in return is bad and worse a disgraceful member of the Thridgen community. This took six month although the powder good look ok, but everything else is horrific and like high end All Star need another opinion before going forward with the C5 Conversion. Here is the pictures of the latest work done by your truly Chris/TPI383/CE Coating

Modified Spindle work incomplete:

Wow man, he claims yet another...i'm sorry to hear this.

I love the painted wheel studs...that right there is enough for me to be disgusted with the work. Like its just that hard to press in and out studs...even tape them off! Let alone the rest of the errors. Thats just absolutely ridiculous.

Good job Chris! Keep it up!

1st Off. I didn't turn the hubs down. You can look at ANY post of the hub info I use to sell. I had someone turn em all down for me. I'm sorry if they wernt the same rotors. Id drop a few sets of stuff off to have turned down.

How are they different size? From looking at the pic's are you talking about the back side?or the turned down diamiter? Looks like one is a S10 hub which has the ABS reluctor ring area to press on. Nothing else is different about the hubs.

Hey Stevo....

The powder on the studs I do all of em that way then run lugs on em. This way so they dont rust from the zince coating being blasted off. I run nuts down em to chase the threads. Crist if I didnt care about powder on **** I wouldnt have taped the spindle off and coated that too..

DTL...

If you want Different hubs send me those back and I'll get you some elsewhere. I havent been doing brakes for quite awhile since I could never get hubs back in a timley manner. PM me...

DTL504

I took six month to get my items back the last time I sent them to you. How about you send me the hubs and I will return these once I receive the new hubs. I do not have time to chase you down again and send massive amounts of PM to get things right.

Oh my.. I thought I was the only one who didn't research this guy before paying him for services. Let this be a lesson to everyone that reads this, do not conduct any business transactions with Chris Eckard / TPI383 / CE Coatings, you will get burned.

It's the same story of "it wasn't me" excuses and absurd turn around time.

I offered to buy the hubs back or buy him a set from EbMiller or bigbrakeupgrade.com. His choice was for me to buy those hubs back off him.

xpndbl3

so he made a post bashing you without even seeing if you'd fix the problem first....wow.

Remember this started in Feb 2006, when I was to received the parts prior to deploying...Received the parts in June 07. I came home on leave in July 07 and emailed him and he stated it would not hurt with the crack. At that time he did not offer the refund. I just notice the two different hubs this weeks. I am glad to see Chris is refunding my money and would keep everyone posted on the out come.

DTL.. Your right that crack is only on the area where the reluctor ring for the sensor would go as I said. IF you would have asked back them for replacemt , etc It would have happened. anyways.... I'll let you know as soon as the parts get back and will send paypalment.

I guess you dont use grease seals eh?

Payment Details
Amount: $90.00 USD

DTL504

First of all delete my personal email, you could have just stated DTL504

Don't flatter yourself because you finally made a refund like this was a very smooth transaction between us. It took over six months to get my parts, The work was horrible at best and foremost you send me some broke used hubs. I sent you a set of brand new rotors, so before you break your arm patting yourself on the back look at the history of this transaction.

What was suppose to be a two turn around turned into a long civil law suit time frame to get the refund. You promise in Feb 2006 that I would have the parts before I left for Korea in March 2006, well the parts did not arrive until late July 2006 after a whole bunch of lame emails with bits broken and lathe not working, cannot find your friend who you task jobs to.

Lets this just die and realize you are not a honest person and shoot more bull$itt than anyone I know.

PS I had to send the Spindles to EDMiller88 to complete the work on the holes that were not drilled. So this little $90.00 aint **** and just off setting the cost to get your errors corrected. Make sure you informed everyone that I sent you $ 193.00, so If you want to make good sent the rest of my $103.00 and include the money wasted on shipping to you in Ohio and then to Edmiller in SC to complete the work that I paid you to do.

Once again dont keep posting like your business practice has improve!!!! Same old CE Coating/ Chris/ TPI383, Nothing has change.....

Remove my email from the above reply.

Thanks

1st off Mr. Dave Locket / DTL540 your email is public anyways. its your paypal/ebay Id for the last 5ys as you said....

You agreed to the amount of $80 and what ever for the holes not being tapped. $1.50 a hole is what I charge for drillin/tappin holes. so $86 and 3% paypal is still under 90bucks.

again its not my problem you didn't ask me again before making the choice to send them to ed. I have 2sets of done spindles here on the shelf now. along with hubs.

YOUR choice was a 80 refund for me bying the hubs back when I OFFERED to buy some from em or bigbreaks for you.

you got what we agreed apon last week when you posted this. I received the hubs fri. night when I got home. You got your $ back soon as I had it in paypal.

as you said its. dead I'm done. you looked at it all July 4t weekend and never asked for anything back then. be glad I bought em back.

don't bother responding because I prob won't be back in this to bother since I got the hubs back and you got the $ you agreed apon.

DTL504

By what imagination would you think I would want to conduct business with you again? The ones you have on the shelf is probably mine **** anyway (Chris Shady). I was not going to spend my 30 Days leave from oversea trying to resolve this matter. I took leave to be with my family Not to get the run around that you drop it off by Jim, but he has not in the shop for the last two weeks and all the rest of the lies and bull$hit you come up with. You are a horrible business person, hopefully you are a better human away from the business aspect of life.... DO not bother to respond...

So TPI383, you dont pay ANY attention to the stuff your shipping out? You need to go back to Business 101 at whatever community college you came from. Bad business = bad mojo......

gearhead0384

In all honestly this is the way alot of places do it. Your rotors are used as a core and a pre made cut rotor are sent out to you. This is a different sorry if you had requested the new rotors be sent to you.
