.......is mostly over R & P, and Calmini gets them from Richmond, has anyone stoped to think maybe Calmini is waiting on and getting false dates from them? ......


According to Richmond, Calmini haven't placed any purchase orders them for the gears.

Well, is proof really necessary? Yea it is needed How about some general observations, she's seenassumptions.  And maybe others have experiencedmaybe stated it perfectly.

Little/few  new/extreme Calmini products for the newer Suzuki stuff such as XL7s/GVs etc. Few are building them like people are the Nissans, so yea nissans stuff will be produced first (The SAS kit got shelved, at the same time the Nissans got one, remember...)Yea I remember, do you remember damn near everyone on the Zuki BBS's bitching because it cost to much, why go to the next level and produce something when all you hear is it's to expensive from the tight wad Zuk owners (when the entire kit was estimated to be released fir LESS THAN a Dynatrack D-44

I think that She see's that the existing Suzuki stuff isn't being produced with any level of priority.  This can be see by all of the angry posters about late/missed shipments for products across their entire Suzuki line.  

She sees that the Nissan boards are reporting that they gettig great delivery times on their stuff.  

These are all things which all makes sense and points to lesser comitment from Calmini on Suzuki products

None of the above gives any one the right to either start OR continue the rumor she stated on pirate

And to top off the most recent event with the 5.83 gears, all I can really say is when he (Steve) rolls out with a new supply of 5.83 gears, the proof will be in the puddin as they say.That is something that started out as RICHMOND not Calmini but all the btching turned it into Calmini and yea mark this thread because the proof will be there

So maybe there is to some truth behind what she has observed, said and wrote.  I and many others don't blame her for it.  (maybe she's the one who should be praised for saying things nobody else has had the guts to say)Praised for stiring up shit in a thread where her comments were made to do just that, stir up more shit, THEN on top of that bring her pirate bashing bullshit here, there is NOTHING TO BE PRAISED ABOUT THERE, leave it at pirate where they like bullshit like that

 

How can you say she's not a customer.  She has calmini products in her truck, she plans on buying more, she even wears his Calmini sticker on her truck, like a badge on her shoulder.I said appeared to be an X- customer from her statement, and how could/would she have plans if they were bailing on the Zuk market like she stated?


"if you look back at last years of postings, you'll are getting arrogant with your posts"
This almost sounds like name calling itself.
Maybe what you are reading is confidence, not necessarily arrogance.  Maybe "I've been there, done that" and have little time to 'nicely' explain things as I see them.  What ever the reason, this type of comment certainly makes me more aware of my 'tone' which I think I've kept in pretty good check all considering.
No name calling intended there, where is there confidence in bashing one of our (Zuk owners) best longest standing suppliers of aftermarket parts, NOWHERE. that is the arrogance I was speaking of

I know what I'm getting into when I order products from Calmini.  If I need something at a given time, I either know its going to happen or not.  I'm not bitching about their lack of responsiveness.  I'm bitching about how they are treating their former/current/potential customers.
We can agree or disagree on weather what Heather said was right or wrong.  I really don't think thats an issue for me.  What bothers me is what Steve said in return.
I agree that the reply should of ben handled differently, but I also stated that if that comment was directed towards my company and work, coming form a "loyal customer" I would of been pissed off too. I would of been even more pisssed off when it was maed in a thread that she had no part of, blurted out assumptions that could of been for nothing but trying to bash/hurt their business, then bring the BS over here

Have you seen the warning thread in the Garage Sale?  The one about idaholwb.  Isn't that all about rumors too?  Maybe rumors, maybe truth, all we can do is really, assume.  ~Nate



Nate, DONT EVEN GO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is my direct post to protect the Z-World Members AFTER AND ONLY AFTER talking to the people that made the claims, IDAHOLWB and even spole to people that live in the same area, had delt with them before and was unhappy with their results. I even had one of his close 'friends' and neighbors contact me asking me to get al fellow Z-World member NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH HIM after their bad experiance.  MUCH RESEARCH AND FACT GATHERING WAS DONE BEFORE I MADE THAT POST!!!!!!!!! IDAHOLWB personally contacted me to make sure I was not one of the people he failed to felive promised goods too (after cashing their checks)

This would be a perfect place for me to insert a comment like directed towards Heather, but place it towards you BUT I'm not gonna do it. You know GOD DAMN WELL there is nothing slanderous or rumorous about my post and dealing with him.

That was a low blow and insulting as hell!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Brian,
My comment wasn't meant to be insulting towards you or to anybody.  I appologize if you took offense to it.  I'm being honest about that.   As a matter of fact I forgot that you put it together until after I re-read it, and the associated links.

But I was trying to make a point that I was agreeing with you in stating that posts CAN be damaging to business.  

I know much about IdahoLWB and have spoken with lots of people on this board and to people in my own town about him too.  (Especialy since he lives in my community)
 
I also understand the intent of the post about IdahoLWB, but it could almost be construed as a post to the general public with intent to damage, further the reputation of a small outfit.  As there are those on and off this board who have had good experiences with dealing with IdahoLWB too.

I guess this brings up the question as to who's place is it to say anything about him except for the people who've had those experiences.

You might think this is a stretch, but it sounds relatively similiar to the situation we are all going through here about Calmini.  Some people have good experiences and some bad and all of those people have the right to speak their mind and NOT be rediculed about it.

Fortunately, we all have the opportunity to believe as we wish, and we are to respect the opinions of others, even if we don't agree.  
To me, to get nasty about other peoples opinions is where it crosses the line and I apologize to you and to anybody else whom I may have offended by my words.

I guess we should all really try to follow Erics advice on posting
"Ok, ready to post. Please remember a few guidelines when posting. Never, I mean always, be courteous and kind when posting. There are several Forums on the net that already have a pile of wise acres. Funny is good; rude is bad.  "



And if you add that with the rest of my statement;

"Not saying I know what happened, but I too have my own opinion about Idaholwb, and if you want it, I too might give it to you in private. "

We can talk about this further via PM if you wish and get this off of the public board.

Brian,
I do respect you, I enjoyed wheeling with you and wish we could come to some sort of resolution about this.  

Maybe about all we can do is agree to disagree about this, as earlier suggested and go on about our lives.

~Nate

If you don't want to fabricate a lift there is this company in California called Calmini, in case none of you have heard about it, that sells ........
