hpstim thirdparty

Dear Tim the reason I describe who I was. I wanted you to know whom you were talking to. So there would be known question on whom was right or wrong. Where is the creditability on the dyno chart? Did the TV hit his head to hard for him to run it right? I can understand why you don’t want to waste your time with me. Why did you welcome me in your house. Offer me something to drink and I chatted with your lawyer friend. Then you turn around say you don’t want to waste my time with me. Because everything I’m stating is correct. I’m asking for you to stand up like a man! Another thing all your friends out there never comment on what you wrote on the car. But instead on my race. Funny I thought we were discussing your supercharger system.

Timster the bottom line is you’re a scam trying to get something free at others expense. Oh by the way your friends on line can insult me as much as they want. But you know I’m telling the truth.

I was reading on another forum, hps would post current rear wheel data. What will you say then? It’s made up – I bet hps will have before / after and contact information. Timster your really embarrasses yourself and losing creditability.

PS I don’t work for hps and please check the IP number!

A) Other posters are bringing up race because you made the point of identifying your age and race. What was the point?

B) We're not friends of Timster and don't have any incentive to take his side. Most members of this forum were simply seeking forthright reponses from HPS... which never came.

C) HPS might come out with dynos, but (i) they haven't as of yet, and (ii) they have already ruined their credibility on this forum.

D) Your argument about Tim trying to scam HPS and get something for free (or at a discount) dosen't even make any sense.

E) You might have no affiliation with HPS, however, that just makes your position against Tim sound completely ridiculous and motivated by personal issues.

F) We're not insulting you... we're just telling the truth.

G) If there is anybody who deserves an HPS, it's you.

Thumbs down

After reading about HPS and Timster's problems with his Charger and also reading other forums regarding Superchargers from say Jackson Racing for Hondas, I would come to the conclusion that Timster had a faulty HPS Charger and HPS should stand by its product and try to fix Timster's problem, maybe offer a refund for the system or install a new system to see if in fact he did receive a faulty one.

Just as in buying a $50K car, you would expect MB to stand by their product and fix whatever problems customers have, and MB does try their best to reconcile bad situations. Obviously, this has gone to the ****hole and people have been put on notice that HPS has yet to come forward and try to fix this problem.

Mr Drew, since you do not work or are affiliated with HPS, why were you allowed to drive Timster's car in the first place? Maybe for the thrill of slamming the pedal and having a little fun at the expense of someone elses car? Very wrong on your part and HPS.

These forums are place where people can express their experience with different cars, different performance products, etc. and I appreciate everyone that tells their stories because it does help me and others decide who to trust and who to stay away from. Timster has gotten the backing of many supporters on this forum for the fact that he has the proof in his dyno runs to show he has a defective HPS system.

If I had spent $10K+ on anything and it didn't meet its expectations, I would b1tch and moan about it too, wouldn't any person?

Actually, Timster ended up getting the HPS removed and got his refund so Kudos to HPS for taking care of that. HPS just never showed up on this forum to tell us what happened from their perspective.... instead, mrdrew decided to champion their cause... we all know how that is turning out.

Welcome to last week! That statement is all to true.
I was going to ask a few questions but then I realized that I really don’t care what you have to say.
All you’ve done so far is to try and stir things up.
You’ve called me a liar and a scam artiest, yet you’ve provided no proof.
You don’t know the complete story.
There are only a few people that do and you are not one of them.
I won’t even dignify the race question with an answer because it has nothing to do with anything.
I owe you nothing.
The Super Charger is a dead issue, get on with life.
