and your "Very unprofessional if you ask me" comment is totally wrong, have you not seen the praises that LIC gets in the bay area forum?
They are one of the most professional shops around.

spiralsmurf,
You got some nerve to come here and bash one of the top 5 most respected vendors of all times. And to question the intelligence of i-Club members?
I am totally speachless. I really got nothing to say.
Here is a word of advice. Take the car to your buddy Chris. Have him do it. i-Speed is NOT on i-Club for a reason.
If you bash LIC, I take it personally.
If I were Adam, I would push that stupid car out of his shop and never touch it again even with a long *** pole. Hell, I might just go there and just push it out myself. LOL

I am not sure where to begin with the direction of information and misinformation displayed on this thread.
So let's keep this simple and too the point.
1. I personally own a car which is at LIC.
2. Per an arrangement between myself and LIC the car was to undergo a conversion.
3. After the work was completed (the conversion being complete...smogged and all) I have opted to sell the car to whomever I choose. Currently the potential buyer is spiralsmurf aka Daniel.
4. The car was indeed slotted to be finished some time ago. But, being a shop owner myself, I understand why schedules change and some things get pushed aside.
5. I have not sold the car or taken money for the potential sale of the car for the very specific reason that the car is not yet completed.
6. Adam and I have spoken over the Holidays, new parts have been given to LIC, and the car has been re-scheduled to go under the knife.
7. LIC has always done good work.This is why I am more than comfortable with them doing the conversion work.
What some people fail to recognize is that some of us are trying to make a living here. Heck, there are ways to get things done in a professional manner. There are also ways which disrupt the business/customer/friend relationship. Maturity may play a large role in these relationships, but what most people need to understand, spiralsmurf and Imprezer included, is that LIC and myself have a different relationship that you just possible may not be privileged to.
In short: While I understand the concern of some interested parties, in plain ol' engrish...it is of NO ONE'S business what LIC, Noah, Adam, or I talk about. My car will be done, when it gets done. I will sell my car when I feel like it and sell it to whom I feel like selling it to.
Regards,
Chris

Since you are such a good businessman, Chris, you should know better than have YOUR customers bash LIC here.
LIC has been contracted by you to do the work. Not by the customer. (smurf) So he has no right coming here and whine. He must take it on with you. And you must deal with Adam. If the car is not done in time, that is YOUR fault in the eyes of the customer. Not LIC's. Especially, since you just gave him the parts as you said above. You have the right to complain about LIC. Not your customer, who has no direct business relationship with LIC.
And, anything that goes on on i-Club, in plain old russian, IS MY BUSINESS. You have failed to realize that since very begining. Plus, maybe there is more to my relationship with Noah and Adam. You just may also not not be privileged to it.
P.S. Oh yeah, Chris, before you get all defensive, hehe, this is not really about you. Smurfy just made a fool out of himself. So it is about him, not you.

So for all we know, the car that is sitting at LIC might not even be Smurfs. Someone else possibly has his car, as neither Chris, nor LIC have the deposit money and smurf gave it to someone.
While you do have 2,500 posts on NASIOC, here is a basic rule that you have forgotten.
Rule #1 of the internet bashing: Get your facts straight, otherwise you will end up looking like an idiot.
So, lol, who did you give the money to? Zoeb, do you have his money? LoLz!

Okay, let's make this all clear...as I've seen/heard it, there has been no money exchanged from either end as far as this deposit down goes.
As far as what Chris says, I would have to agree that this whole situation is more-or-less out of control, none of the details about the agreement for Chris's conversion or Chris/Daniel agreement needs to be on the internet for all to read, it's not professional nor is it the proper place...The respective parties can work out the details together.....bottom line.
But if someone wants to blatently bash/slander our name, you can be assured that I'll have something to say (good or bad)
