This is such a shame. I wasn't even aware they had a change in ownership... thank God for the search on this site I decided to search before buying because I read nothing but good things but they were a little old I guess this is where the company has fallen to?

An update on my post from the previous page.

I've tried e-mailing RE-Speed/Sam NUMEROUS times through at least 3 different e-mail addresses I have found. I have also tried to contact them through this website as well as two times on their Facebook page and not a single peep out of them. Unfortunately I cannot claim through Paypal as it has been over 45 days. Great help when it would take 3 months to ship. So far I am out of pocket (incl. shipping) nearly $1060 USD.

My next step is either legal action, debt collector or even the police on internet fraud.

As I am making a claim from Australia, I would appreciate if anyone here can point me in the right direction.

Hi,

I'm another victim from Indonesia. This is what I received last from him on the 8th of March 2012;
Hi David,

Sorry once again, I'm not usually like this at responses. My brother was involved in a car crash and put into critical condition, so I've been helping out his family and been to the hospital as much as possible to visit him. With me being a one man operation, its put a huge set back on my side.

Anyways, I'm just waiting on the threaded sleeves to come in. The first one they shipped me out were mis-labeled. Everything else is here.

So for shipping now, do you still want me to get you a quote through Canada Post?

Hi David,

Here's the pictures of what I have ready along with what I received from Adam. I'm just waiting on the springs right now. I forgot to take pictures of the brake lines though. And also all the bolts and nuts for everything aren't pictured neither.

No the shocks were not in this purchase, and we only have springs for the front currently. I have reattached your invoice to show you.

Dear Sam,

Regarding shipment, there's slight change of plan. If we use express courier such as DHL or TNT, I'll be asked to pay big amount of import duty. This is a new rule. Before we do not have to pay as we're free bonded zone.

So now I'd like you to find out the shipping cost via USPS by AIR please. Do not use express courier service.

Btw how's the status of my order, you still have not reply to me yet.

Hi David,

Sorry for the late replies. These past weeks, its been really busy around here.

I'm not exactly sure on the differential, nor tire size fitment. For the differential, I can help you find the part here, but you will have to tell me exactly which ones you want. Or point me in the direction you saw about the hilux.

Sam,

What do you mean by what's my plan ? I still have no plan yet about this. All I want is is to build a comfortable weekend warrior car. I'm not planning to use it for race track.

Well I read in the net and many people use Hilux diff and they have it shorten. Oh yes, I forget to inform to you that I would like to use very very wide wheels for the back. What specifications of wheels I should use for the rear ?

I want the rear size to be much wider than the front. I want my car to look a little like a drag car, do you get what I mean ? Please help me decide what set up of rims and tyres I should use ?

I hope my explanation is clear. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation. So basically please list out all the parts which you would recommend including the photos and the price for each of them. I want to see them in a simpler form Could you do that ? Please also recommend which brake caliper, disc brake and the brake pad as well so as to save the shipping cost.

So you're saying that all these parts which you recommend to me can be fitted into my 1973 mazda 808 sedan right ? If yes, please re send email to me just listing all the parts ( photos + prices ). Awaiting for your reply. How do you accept payment ?

Subject: Re: Enquiry from ReSpeed

Hi David,

Was nice talking to you over the phone today. Sometimes its just nice to put voices behind names, maybe we'll put a face to the name some day down the road

As mentioned, I'm going to toss a few ideas your way.

Front Cross member:

I know we didn't talk about this over the phone, but this is a weak item in stock form and has the tendency to bend and tweak under heavy braking. We do offer a replacement part for this that is made out of thicker plates where the control arms go into.

http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=457

We currently have a special on these too actually for 175$ as oppose to 225$

Control Arms:

The RX-3/808 Control arm bushing and ball joints are getting harder and harder to find now a days, and we have come up with a solution for this. We are now using mazda miata ball joints and making our own control arms ( the ball joints are the same from 1990-2005 I believe on the Miata and alot easier to get and usually cheaper also). That ball joint doesn't fit into the stock steering arm so we normally get parts shipped up to us to get re tapered with the proper taper unless we can find you a core and drill and ship it out which would probably be cheaper in your case considering your distance.

As you will also notice the arms are longer than stock, this is done for the purpose to give more camber and correct the king pin angle that you will notice if you decided to go with the RX-7 shocks. And if you do go that route, you will need to use the RX7 steering arms so the shock assembly will bolt up properly. Using those steering arms will also give you more ackerman angle which is another bonus. The outer tie rods for your steering will need to be replaced with RX-7 ones also to fit inside the hole of the steering arm. This is a direct bolt on deal that also give your stronger out tie rods from being thicker. I hope all this is making sense, I'm not sure how easily you can get stock replacement parts over there, but I can certainly help you source some here also (for example we can get the outer tie rods brand new for 18$ a piece)

These aren't up on our website yet, its a fairly new product and we've only sold them via email / phone currently. I have attached pictures of the version for the RX2 which is very similar to the RX3 (difference is in the inner bushing). The price on these is 275$

Front Strut / Shock Assembly :

As mentioned over the phone, I would highly recommend going with the RX-7 shock assembly for more shock variety. We can offer 5 way adjustable shocks, or just regular shocks using that. You won't be able to find bolt on 5 way adjustable shocks for the RX3/808 assemblies. One thing to look for though, try to find them from an 84-85 Model RX7. I say this because in those years they came with bigger and stronger spindles. Also if you do with to go with the big brake kit that we offer, the kit will only work with those years.

http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=37

Rear Brakes :

We currently offer a rear drum to disk brake conversion for th RX3/808, that is usually more than sufficient for braking at tracks. The kit will require calipers from any 81-85 calipers (except from a GSL-SE, all other model G,GS,GSL will work fine as they're all the same)

1st gen RX7 Knowledge:

There are 3 major changes through out the 1st generation RX7.

79-80 SA (Series 1) G, GS,
81-83 FB (Series 2) G, GS, GSL
84-85 FB (Series 3) G, GS, GSL
84-85 FB (Series 3) GSL-SE

I would stay away from any parts from the 79-80 RX7 as there was alot of odd things in those years in comparison to the later years.

The main difference between the series 2 and the series 3 (aside from different interior) is the series 3 (all 84-85) vehicles had bigger front spindles, and bigger axles in the rear end.

The 84-85 GSL-SE model is also a little different and a bit more odd. It was the only one that offered 4x114.3mm wheel bolt pattern (all other being 4x110). It also had a Fuel Injected 13B engine in there as oppose to Carburated 12A in all the other models. The brakes are also a bit bigger, but the spindle size is still the same as the other 84-85 RX-7.

G : Base model, manual everything
GS : Included some options depending on customer orders
GSL : Fully loaded and all had limited slip differentials also
GSL-SE: 13B engine, bigger brakes, different bolt pattern and included everything in the GSL as far as options.


I hope all this information helps you out, let me know if there's anything you would like me to explain better.

Regards,

Sam

Yes basically this car is the same as the RX3. Sorry but it's 1am here local time, I need to get some sleep as I need to wake early. How can I get more information for you ? Should I take photos os the current suspension and the brake system ?

To be frank, I'm planning to build a weekend warrior car. I'm not pursuing high power, max only 300rwhp, but I need to have a good suspension and brake system.

Please refer to the photo attachments. Those photos were downloaded from the rx7forum, those who have already done the conversions. Does that help you ?

I don't get it, because the guy has a very active Facebook page, with pics of new parts being made, etc., even "invited" me to "like" it. It's so bad, it almost doesn't make sense.

Bori12A

iTrader: (1)

True, he's got pictures up from a days ago

mymmeryloss

Because i think eventually he gets the parts shipped out. He just is overwhelmed and needs to rethink his business tactics.

Bori12A

iTrader: (1)

That's plausible i guess but 1 of the guys mentioned on an earlier page about getting some help.especially just for answering emails, and phone calls.it looks real bad especially because he's on his Facebook and apparently responds to people only when they are trying to make a new purchase and once their money is sent... Nothing

ptrhahn

iTrader: (9)

That's certainly the truth. Seems like one of those people that is fine if you're local to him, and can drop by the shop for stuff—that's no excuse for not even responding to Paypal on claims/complaints though.

mymmeryloss

iTrader: (13)

I dont understand how paypal hasnt revoked his priveleges...

rx7roller02

I dont understand that either....

Here's a question, why arent you guys flooding his facebook page? Each one of you that sent him money, why not post on his facebook page? The more people posting on there, the more his prospective customers will see it and start to ask questions, or maybe even avoid getting taken themselves. In cases like these, I have found that the best way to try to get results is to affect their current cash flow--he's already written everyone off that he took money from and only cares to speak to new customers now because he just wants the money. Hit him where his $$$ is, and you stand the best chance of getting something done.

Thats just my experience though. Of course, nothing works all the time, but if you all make enough noise, it might just cause him enough unwanted attention that he starts sending out refunds to get everyone off his case.

GoodfellaFD3S

iTrader: (213)

It's funny, I sent him a friend request many weeks ago and he never responded. Coincidence?

mr_rotary

I have tried a couple of times. The comments get removed. I even tried to message him through Facebook.

However I will start hitting hit Facebook continually every day.

misterstyx69

iTrader: (142)

I'd guess you didn't say you would send him any Money..
You are trying to get laid for Free in a Brothel..(cough.)

rx7roller02

I know. but if everyone kept posting, it WOULD be seen by potential customers.

Another option is starting a separate facebook page, something like "RE-Speed scammed us"....and then each of you that lost money would go on there and post. If enough people posted there, believe me the word would get out. Or, if you really want to get his attention, you can look at his page, see who is posting on it, and then send each of those people the link to the "scammed" page and let them read for themselves what this clown has been up to. If they still insist on sending him money, then thats their problem. But believe me, if you all did this it would make an impact. And at this point, an impact is your best chance. Make enough waves, and it would cost him too much NOT to refund you.

Bori12A

iTrader: (1)

^^^ that sounds like it would be effective, that makes sense

rx7roller02

it might end up being the only thing that makes sense. The reason why he is ignoring all of you is because he doesnt need to address your concerns to make money. But what if he had to? What if his dealings were made known in the place where he makes that money? Then he would have to answer for what has happened, or dump FB and try to find some other place to go. And thats it, sooner or later it will become too costly for him to keep blowing you guys off.

misterstyx69

iTrader: (142)

Can you "friend" all his Friends on Facebook?..the guys that "liked him"..then just mass message everyone?..Someone is Bound to get the point.
(I'm not really into Facebook,but that would seem "doable" wouldn't it?)

I LIKE that part about the "RE-SPEED Scammed us Page"..That is a Great idea!

rx7roller02

You can friend his friends--if they accept the invite. otherwise, they can change their settings so that people who are not on their friends list may not be able to send them messages. But its definitely worth a try.

mr_rotary

So good I actioned it:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/RE-Sp...ax_wizard=true

Everyone who has had money stolen from them, please post it into the attached link.
As it's my first ever in Facebook page, any other tips or tricks appreciated.

Looks like I have also been blocked from making any more comments on his page.

rx7roller02

OK, guys, hop on over to that page and list out the details. I have a plan.....but it requires all of you that lost money to join in. When you post over on that FB page, please indicate how long ago you paid, the method of payment, and about when you last heard from RE-Speed.

I also suggest that each of you post something on his FB page. If you get blocked from posting there, make a note of it on this new FB page. We need to be able to show in there what is happening. I cannot stress this enough--before we can go to the next step, I need EVERYONE who lost money to this guy to take part. The reasoning will become clear in the end. When you post over there, post the following:

--what parts you ordered
--how much you paid
--method of payment
--when you paid
--when you last heard from RE-Speed
--what efforts you have made to contact them since

If all of you can get on board with this, we stand a good chance of my plan working. I cannot go into more detail right now, but I have done this before with good results. Fire away guys....

EDIT--mr. rotary, you might want to change the "about" details--it's SHQE Manufacturing, I believe.
