Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Ask him if he's finished all the orders he's behind on who've paid him already, specifically that guy from New Zealand who he stole the money from and blew him off.

Re: A new thread!! Firestone Bias Ply Tires

i have a set from Coker and they run pretty well. Get a little vibration from them even when balanced but have heard a few people say I should have them shaved.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

I'm surprised he didn't throw his flat earth conspiracies in the email. I cant belive he isn't in jail for what he's been doing.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Most of the guys I've connected with did their communications via text or email, so I'm sure there is a flood of documentation of his promises and excuses and lack of delivery.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

It's not so much the $ of parts but is the promise of getting it faster which is why it'll cost 10k, then listening to him lying every day about it

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Keep us posted what happens. I cant imagine much will happen in terms of getting any money out of him. He has none.

Get it in parts though.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

He definitely has enough parts you could get your money's worth. That wall alone has enough.

Unfortunately, I think there's a lot of guys who have been waiting well over 2 years paid in full. Unless you're a buddy of his you get nothing but excuses. Only way to get your $ back is to take...

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

To be honest, court won't do anything other than cost you more money. Eric it's so deep in the hole he's scraping for new jobs to pay for old ones. Even if a judge rules in your favor, it'll be...

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

He'll goose you into paying up front by saying he'll pay for shipping or some free polishing or something to get as much of the $ now. He needs it to buy parts for other jobs he's way behind on.

Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Don't send it to him unless you're ok waiting 2-3 years for him to do anything. He won't communicate with you, he won't be honest with you and he'll get pissed at you when you ask him for updates....
