forum, gtirus, tots motorsport....to put a few things straight

Was just looking back at forum members from few years back when myself and Stu first started this forum which amazingly was 4yrs and 3 months ago, thats after splitting it from gtirus as it was a sub forum on our website which was running for a few months so 5 years in total

One of the first to sign up back then was Jimmyback who's been around way before I came onto the scene in 2005,  many early members are still on the forum now so guess we've done well considering the volume of sheer lies and rumours that have been spread over the years (mainly about me, my company & forum on fb).
The forum has taken some stick but it's still here and stronger than ever.

There's an old saying that 'any advertising is good advertising' "good or bad"  and how true that statement is.
The forum has come on leaps and bounds over the years as we have good support from members at shows and any event put on by our team of committed organisers who have done a great job for all involved in the gtir community.
The admin on the forum keep on top of things keeping the undesirables out which is paramount for the genuine members and enthusiasts to feel that they can trust in any work or purchases they may make from anyone advertising on the forum.
We don't want this place ending up like the other forum and certain fb pages that are plagued with greedy profiteers looking to nab the newbies that sign up who then inevitably get snared in the trap to get them to a certain tuning company where their pockets are raped, very clever scam I give them that.

Gti-r-us has come a long way from back in 2005 and with the take over of TOTS motorsport the future is very bright we hope to carry on with our development of parts, tuning, engine builds etc as we have been doing over the years, helping in any way possible to keep your cars on the road.
So really this is just to let people know that what you may read on fb and the like (same individuals stirring as usual) is just total fabricated rubbish setup by a handful of conmen to try & put my  new company down just as they've done from day one when they found out we were about to obtain a dyno and expanding into the tuning market. Genuine owners whos cars we have worked on and tuned know what we are about and the results we have obtained speak for themselves, that cant be denied.
Anyone who genuinely has or had an issue with our work please come forward on this thread and explain your concerns as im certainly aware of none, any genuine issues i will always try to resolve (as some will confirm) so dont be shy come forth and explain in front of everyone as i have nothing to hide.

Sick world we live in unfortunately, it ceases to amaze me the lengths some will go to in order to grab as much as they can, just sheer greed by a certain few individuals.

That's about it really but just wanted to say a big thanks to all of you for your support and as always I and my team will do our best to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.
Always going to be haters but hey that's life, with jealousy, greed, resentment their will always be issues and that's why their will always be a divide in the gtir community as there has been over the years with other companies that have bailed out maybe due to the same reasons surrounding my company now.
I have tried to ignore the few concerned & carry on minding my business yet still they keep plugging away bit by bit.
I have now tolerated it long enough, the individuals surrounding the other tuning company are hell bent on trying to put my company out of business so from this point on the gloves are off, i will not be bullied by anyone, especially a bunch of organised cagey thieves who inadvertently steal from the people that are passed onto them by others.

I just find it crazy that people are snakes and we still have snitches. Someone again snitched on here and put it on fb. Please let's not take it back to early post 2000 era. If you don't like it here don't come on here. Just try and add to the community in a positive way. Let what ever business run and get on with your own lives. Really getting tired of this. This side v side gtir battle is getting too much now. 10 years this shite has been going on with different people getting involved. For whoevers is reading this on both side. Please just quit and let bygones be bygones.

you got my support Bob - on and up mate !

^ exactly mate, keep moving forwards and never looking backwards

Keep up the good work Bob, after 2 years out of the scene I came back to a dead and boring community. Came back over here and came down to your RR day and have not looked back since, the club is great and all the events we have gone to have been fantastic. Its a breath of fresh air, keep up the good work!

Great post Bob.
Our little club has come on loads everyone has helped to make it what it is today!
The gtir scene has changed loads over the years and friends have been made and lost with all the bad blood around.
Hopefully one day we can put it all to rest.
Until then tho we will keep on making this club bigger and better

Onwards and upwards is the only way this club is going!

We have been reported by Danny and Dave a few times now for slander etc
What they say are lies and made up shit. Its quite funny to read what they have stated.
Fear for their life. Gangs of men going around their house. Someone going around to their house to set it on fire.

I would love to see the police reports of these claims.

Theres a lot that goes on that most of you dont get to see.

Well said Bob. I'm looking forward to that magical day when I can get the old girl on your rollers. Until then I can only continue to supply the Belgian buns

Facebook is the devil that's why i don't have it, It can ruin a mans years of hard work in the matter of seconds, Keep up the good work Bob you have been around longer than facebook haha.

Bob built my engine 2 years ago and it's been running sweet ever since, I will definatly be using you again Bob for any future engine builds whether there for pulsars or any other Nissan engines

Keep up the good work

Totally agree!

I love seeing how more and more people are ditching social media these days

Many people contribute to this forum to make it what it is and like stu says there is lots that go behind the scenes to make it smooth running and hats off to the events organisers keeping all the meets rolling in ..... as for all the other stuff going on its just silly people need to concentrate on there own lifes instead of jumping in others .... this is exactly why i dont have facebook ....

People need to ask themselves one question........what would I have to gain by lying about anything I have said?

When I bailed out of gtiroc to start this forum it was for a valid reason, I wanted no part of what was going on with a certain few on gtiroc.
New members were and still are being scammed.
Due to my reaction the admin then began to make things difficult for me so I said bollox to the lot of you I'm out of here then started this forum where only trusted people were invited to join around 50-60% left the oc to be on here and a fair few of those had been scammed which was a major reason in them leaving and following us this is when the major divide started as they and their forum was left in tatters.
We wanted none of the scammers on here full stop.
However a few slipped the net and we decided to give them a chance only to find they were causing issues on here so we then decided to out the lot of them, we know they still have access on here and know who they are but pointless kicking them off as they just come back with another duff username and email addy

My company has moved on from GTiR's and the work we get from them is miniscule compared to work we have coming in from the dyno and other brands of cars, yet the idiots concerned still try stirring with anything regards to the gtir........Mmmm! Strange that
maybe because it is because said person / people have such bad feed back on other forums with other marque's of cars that their main source of income is the gtir and that's why this company needs a band of keyboard warriors to protect them because on other forums true stories will be told regarding them and work they have carried out on other vehicles to the point they have to slither away, nowhere to hide and no one to protect them.

Funny thing is its amazing what you can dig up on certain companies and people alike on the net and various forums,  I am in process of fishing at present and I've caught some large ones already so 'yes I know your reading this' you best be prepared for a whole world of shite heading your way by genuine people with genuine grievances there's so much stuff it will blow your mind you know I'm right or are you that thick skinned just like the stupid pawn keyboard warriors that surround you?
And like you said with regards to posts from this forum that your going to put up on silly fb every day well I will return the honour and trust me on this il plaster it all over the net for all to see then let's see how you deal with that.

Last point This Rob Brown who kindly put a pic up on fb cuddling Ed and courteously posted up photos of his engine bay after  work carried out by them.
Well made me pmsl as the reason the turbo blew up was because of a clip holding the boost pipe to outlet of turbo causing it to over spool after blowing off 7 times  and although I knew deep down this was bollox as this all happened after leaving eds I still refunded him money for turbo, he would have left with nothing had it not been for my new partner, I knew all along the whole thing was a big setup and he had been sent down by the other tuning company
Ironicaly looking at pics he has posted up of work he's had done you can clearly see the turbo has shit jubilee clips fitted to the up pipe from and on top of that they have somehow managed to kin the return water feed from turbo lol
And this is supposed to be an advert for good work done by them........ what a hash up lol   kaboom

Il get my coat  

I saw hose clips (googled facebook gtir group) :-S i do better quality/neater fit than that on my garden hose .
silicone hose & high boost need good clips and swaged pipes, many times hose not as tight a fit or grip like oem pipe & rubber hose so good clips are a must . Neat & to size looks far better too .
Tuning business is a right headache, for sure plenty of idiots got a workshop but you also get some right idiots turn up with cars for tuning. Poor previous work & stressed components can then become your problem & idiot owners blame all on you.
You got be real fussy on work you do & anything with doubts needs putting in writing and signed before work commences .
Fusion had plenty of bad reports on tuning sites back in the day from poor mapping, failure run on cold start & blown engine or 2 on SRR dyno .
Most tuners have good years and bad as staff changes, new equipment purchased, knowledge gained, enthusiasm lost .
every tuner going get problems & it how you handle them that counts, free labor on repair or 50/50 on costs goes long way at keeping customers happy when not clear cut on blame, sometimes it can be seen as accepting blame so needs to be done with care & once again get it in writing & signed so can be used on any unfair forum reports or small claim courts .
Good tuning work takes time & passion, put your energy into workshop & few promotional events with customer cars & their opinions . A good tots/gtirus GTiR track/drag car would be good too for bit of publicity & show your potential .
Worth having customer car section on your website & perhaps some on here .
Web is powerful platform & potentially massive free advertisement . Use your energy positively & keep away from the facebook type stupidity lol ... even thai women here do not bitch and snitch on FB as bad as that lol ...

Heres the reply from when I asked about the jubilee clips and kinked water pipe?



Still not answered about the water pipe hmmmm!!!

I got only one question, why everybody is slagging Bob saying how big of a cunt he is etc but you newer see Bob slagging anyone?? Don't worry mate you've got loads of people supporting you and I wouldn't be bothered about some kids on FB... Dodgy Dave fucked you over?? Well judging bu the size of what TOTS grow up to he shot himself in foot and now he's being little bitch making a mess cos probably he can't stand that you've managed to pull it off. And about any one saying that you've fucked up his car or sold dodgy bits, I can only say from my experience that shit happens and most important thing is to deal with it, you might try to solve situation but if "costumer" won't allow it to be solved what the hell can you do?? And people should know that 2dn hand bits are not brand new and you can't warranty how long they going to last....
