I don't have a dog in this fight..I personally have not dealt with Vadim outside of a few calls to ask about some VRP products which I was at one time considering purchasing.

This said for those of you harmed by him, you can file a class action lawsuit to recoup monetary losses that you've suffered. You will need proper documentation and a number of people to join as the 'class' effected by this individual.

I've lost money on car stuff in the past and it hurts, the defiance of trust hurts just as much if not more. I hope that each of you reaches proper resolution with your case.

I read over the last 3 pages, and have seen the most unbelievable BS, crackhead, brainwashed, uninformed posts ever. I don't have anything to do with Vadim or PC but I more of a concern as a member here on MBWorld and someone being ripped off. You had our support at first, but now...WTF?

AMGSC, with these posts of late, you have really said a whole lot and it leaves some questions:

Is this all BS? You are now defending Vadim?
Are we in the Matrix? Please let me out.
WTH are you thinking about? I mean really.
WTH are you smoking? Tell me, so I will never smoke it, hell not even touch it.

I usually don't get into insults or questioning someone's mental capacity, but damn man....let me stop.

I remember when he said that and cautioned him then. but in his defense, if he would have spent that kind of money with a reputable tuner/builder he would have been right...

I'm at wit's end. He said he's not not available to work on my car tomorrow and Friday. Has to take car of personal business.

You guys should stop bothering him with lawsuits and threats until I get my car out of there! j/k

Is this because he is working out or for another shop?

I smell a full 360 coming. This could be a good thing.

Your support in this matter has dwindled to almost nought. I'd quit posting until everything is resolved and you get your head straight.

Please expound on your comment. Now I understand the rumors of Jessie who started with the same software program.

I sure would'nt want to sacrifice another engine for the sake of breaking a record. That's why Kleemann or Renntech is the ONLY way to go for me. They both agreed to custom-tune my car!!! HURRAY!

Havoc, why is your car taking 2 years to complete?
I was following you progression a couple years ago and then you fell off the face of the planet.

Whats going on with your build?

Vadim is taking Havoc's SL55 to SEMA? Does FD have a booth there, or is it a "just-visiting" type of thing?

Ok, I really don't have an interest here, nor do I really care much.

However, AMGSC, I've seen you posting about your various woes with various tuners for YEARS already. Your car WAS sick, but your saga is just insane. In that same time span, your car has now become obsolete, worthless and many others have moved on to better pastures.

Take it to a competent shop (like Hooleyboy's) already (you've spent SOOOOO much time and money, that you might as well fork the extra $700 for transportation) and stop drinking the Kool-Aid that the shops you visit have been giving you. You've endured for far too long. Broken promises and missed deadlines are not acceptable with the amount of money you've paid, cut your losses now!

You're a grown man, but I can't believe how gullible you are.

My appointment has already been made for Nov 16th Monday 8am with Cory@Kleemann.
If I demand too much boost and they don't want the risk then my next stop is Richard@Renntech/DynoComp on the way back from CO for the final drop-off. Vadim is already aware of this.

I am also on the hunt for the another car that is more mod-friendly, German 4-door with 2-3 years of depreciaton.

Yeah, it's kind of hard for me to post from time to time since I'm deployed in the sandbox 10 months out of the year.
Well, Victor sent my 5.7L back to Canada for tear-down to ensure the initial break-in went well since we heard a knock and found particles in the oil. All is well and it just got installed back into my SL55. We are currently doing break-in again with the 5.7L with all stock intake, exhaust, boost, and ECU parts. Once we hit 1K miles we'll start installing all the mods and tune it.

We need to put another 700 miles on my 5.7L for break-in so a trip to Vegas will get that done in one weekend.

Good to hear and best of luck. I hope that you don't change your mind midway though...
