* My ex-boss is going to trial for stealing over a million dollars from Cintas (uniform company), and I would be out of a job if all my 119 weekly and 189 bi-weekly customers treated me with the "sleeping with the enemy" idea. He is out and I am still here. And so are my customers, all but one. The one that couldn't separate me from the situation. And I am still explaining myself everyday...and it will fade with my determination to do what is right.
My new boss gave me these words which I hope RR as a company and Brice as an individual could also use.
- Would you be ok with your family knowing what you are doing? How would the public and/or yourself feel if it was published in the newspaper? Does it make you feel good?

if you answer no to any of these 3 questions, sleeping at night is not so easy.

Also, all the stuff about Brice knowing about a stolen car and not doing anything about it, I've lived in Detroit for a while and have thrown many "raves" in chop shops in my day, had neibours that stole, and friends that sold stolen parts. If your not involved don't be involved. +No one likes a snitch. --->That is self preservation.

It's a dogeatdog world out there. don't be lunch/ Sorry Brice but your can is open. Time to feed those that are hungry with the truth.

RX8club, you got something to say, say it. Don't just be haterz or apologists. This is serious.

that's neither here nor there. i was out a job because i worked for arthur andersen and when one partner made poor choices out in texas to overlook things for a small company named enron (sarcasm on the small company), all 30,000 of us at andersen were out a job.

so again, neither here nor there. brice is race roots so like your ex-boss, brice needs to pay the piper. i only bought a small item (brake pads) from him but wasn't thrilled by the experience and finally wrote him off when he tried to snake a sale from BHR via PM when i was in BHR's thread asking about pricing on an AEM. things just didn't feel right and i felt i needed a shower for even reading the PM.

Fair enough CTrx8, I was mostly just trying to say "be good"
Good people can do work with the bad folks, it's the end result that matters/I'm a good guy and a salesman, an oxymoron to some.
Good thing I am not out of a job like what happened to you, and many others.

And I'm sure your family is without drama

God I wish mine was ......

I think character is what happens when the **** hits the fan.....

It is then that peoples true selves come out and you get to see glimpses of what they try to hide everyday with the masks they wear to hide from the real world

Well he's already busy locking threads, deleting posts, and perputrating his ongoing fraud. Anyone got a phone # for IB? Perhaps a couple calls from a few inquiring lawyers can persuade them to stop this bullshit.

When you harass someone bluntly it is a different story.

You should hit up Mazmarts forums as well as Rotaryfx for selling OEM Ignition coils, don't forget RX7store too...

Start a thread about the wires that I use that Charles also uses as well used them in his BHR kit.

Let it go...

To the point that we had a cordial conversation via pm the other night and discussed personal matters, long before this nonsense blew up. Race roots stays on their side of the street and bhr stays on ours.

I really prefer we allow brice to make his apologies and deal with the public in whichever manner he chooses. Part of repentence is that we who are repenting allow ourselves the opportunity to be sincere and to hear how what we have done has hurt other people, and we must listen to what people are saying and empathize with their perspectives. Right now, people feel betrayed, mislead, and deceived. I am sure he will be hearing all of this from those who feel he harmed them.

What he does not need is to be lectured by those whom were never the victim of his character defects, whatever those defects may be.

Let's please allow him the opportunity to navigate his way through this ugly and uncomfortable chapter in his life and career without any unnecessary intrusions or simple "mob mentality".

Although i have my own criticisms about many things regarding brice, and his behavior toward me and my company, those are sentiments he and i shall share in private when he is ready to hear them.

I suggest evryone else do the same.

That should make it even easier then for us to get your sorry *** banned then.

Also, the difference coils wise Bice is that mazmart wouldn't package oem coils as an upgrade or go crap in other vendors threads trying to push their misrepresented "upgrades".

ok, so not sure if a lot of you know, i was apart of RR's dyno tune day, and after putting out 280 whatever horsepower an 270 whatever tq i had my concerns of the car an something not being right.. since being fully bolted it should have been making more.

so i took it BACK to scott, RR's supposed tuner guy two weeks later, leave it for two days he says my compression is low in all 4 cyls an what not, whatever. he said he messed with my tune and made it safe to drive till i could do a build and said it wont see higher than 14 psi. i asked if the car will be safe to drive and he ASSURED me it is in NO danger of failure. SO $94 for that and a little pissed i wasted $450 on the initial tune i left.

as far as i know, after the tune i was not the only one with probs, bioevolve or whatever had probs also.

fast forward a month and my motor goes.
Now that is QFT !

We can rehash his restocking fee for a non-executed etune too... Of course he'll just remind us how he's the poor victim in it... How scott took advantage of him too...

Brice's "contrite act" lasted exactly 2 days.

Went from the I am a man, standing up like a man.. right back to pointing fingers at others. Well done sir, well done.

I don't know how other vendors feel when they are engaging in the daily operations of their businesses but I can tell you this; each and every one of BHR's customers are not just people who buy stuff from us. You are all FAMILY. We talk on the phone about our personal lives. Several of you have offered words of encouragement when things were tough and I was struggling with family/personal issues. Some of you have come to stay at my house.

We all share stories and anecdotes. We fight like cats and dogs, sometimes.

But we always support one another when it gets serious.

Episodes like the one we are all engaged in right now are seminal and pivotal in determining how this forum, as a collective, is going to move forward and whether or not we choose to learn something about the society of the RX8Club website, as a result.

This isn't just the examination of Brice's behavior; it is an examination into who we all are, as a group, and the expectations we hold for one another.

Maybe I take this **** too serious for some of you. I have been known to be a Drama Queen (but when you pay me to work for you, the passions come with it). On the other hand, how can I NOT take all of this this serious when the support and encouragement BHR has received from you guys has allowed me to earn a living in a way that only few are fortunate to do?

I consider myself very lucky to have the job I do and it is only because of this community and the guys on my team that I am able to do so and I appreciate these things every day.

But that is just my perspective.
Damn, you'ze is eloquent!

Well said Ray..........well said. But, then again.......I didn't really expect any less.
