Hi Brad

Not sure who dragged your name into this, but your company is definately one of the best out there in the industry.

I would like to know, what has me selling my headers got to do with Powerchip?
Nothing.... I don't agree with what they tried to do to you at all. Sorry you had to go through that awful experience.

I'm not arguing that fact at all.... and I didn't mean for my post to be about Evosport's quality of products. In fact, the reason I posted was to warn Evosport (a reputable company on this site) that it's affiliation with a growingly-hated company on this site (Powerchip) may have a negative impact on their name/image in the marketplace.

I will stand by powerchip and buy their tune again on my next car.

I wish to advise that no staff member or Director at Powerchip has ever edited the wikipedia entry for Powerchip prior to this post being made, and that the statements made that have been attributed to either Wayne Besanko or Powerchip were made by persons unknown to us.

I don't think so, there is more pulling power throughout the range. It was exactly what I was looking for. And I was also given the opportunity to get my OEM tune back free of charge (except shipping) within 30 days no questions asked.

For those of us coming late to this thread but who read all 3 pages and are still left in the dark, would someone please enlighten us all as to the substance of the relevant legal issues allegedly being pursued?

Hypothetically, why does Powerchip have standing to sue?

What imminent and concrete injury has Powerchip allegedly suffered as a result of TS's attempted sale of possibly authentic "Cargraphic" headers? And hypothetically what would be Powerchips redress? Is their one (i.e., is this alleged issue justiciable?)

Inquiring minds want to know.

Sonny i have no idea why powerchip is so involved.

I too would like to know WHY IS POWERCHIP SO UPSET ABOUT ME SELLING MY 2ND HAND HEADERS?

A few Q's if Wayne would like to answer
a) What is the relationship between Powerchip and Car Graphic?
b) Is Powerchip a CarGraphic authorised dealer?

Wayne, its past 8 am AEST in QLD, im still waiting for your letter from your lawyers. I should also post your other email, too bad people wont see it here, but soon on google.com they will.

Regards
h.

There is no reason for me to get banned. I have not done anything to require. I havent said anything bad about Powerchip, all i have done is bring to light there actions towards me. Why Powerchip wishes to purse me is unbelievable. First it was in regards to false advertisement, now Wayne is telling me he is sending me court papers in regards to slandering, when i havent said anything bad about Powerchip.

I wish to advise that police have contacted (or are in the process of contacting) the original poster in relation to events involving intimidation and harassment at Powerchips office today by two persons who attended the premises and took photographs and posted them on a web site , the actions were initiated and requested by the original poster who lives interstate who offered to pay a fee for carrying out the threatening behavior.

This is a very disappointing situation where our staff are now aprehensive to come to the office in the morning, and they have been advised not to attend the office tommorow until the court can make an order to stop the threatening and intimidating behavior.

And by the way, the police have not contacted me. You will be wasting there time and money and resources all on YOUR LIES. Seriously, i dont know why you are continuing. Please forget about it, give up. You are only doing more harm to yourself and your image.
