| you have my # right??? ![]() | OK... Its been over year and half since i dropped my car at RHD DESIGN As today i do not hear anything from him nor i do not have have any information about whereabouts with my car. back in 2007 january i dropped my car at RHD DESIGN and i paid him for SR20DET swap and RHD conversion. i used live in arizona back then i could not go to his shop to check out my car often. about a month after i dropped my car off i called him to ask whats going on with my car and he said he is working on it. and i went to his shop to see my car about a month after i called him. engine was taken out ..... and.. that was it. i asked him why my car is sitting at parking lot and nothing is done ? he told me he had to pay rent for his shop and he has bills to pay... so he was working on everybody else's cars cool... i have known steven since 2005 i think.. i thought i was friend with him when i visit LA i vistied his shop sometimes we had dinner and just hung out together. i asked him since steven hasnt bought any parts i order such as engine and hks cams , intake manafold and etc... if i could cancel some of parts because i need get around and my car was at his shop for 2~3 month already so i needed some money to buy a car. he gave me my money back for cams and manafold. i came back to arizona and i called him back 2~3 weeks after he said he is having hardtime with installing A/C unit. i thought he was working on my car... good !.. and i aksed him if it is too hard to make A/C work i am fine without A/C, because i wanted car back i went to his shop in july.. my car is sitting just like before no engine no work on the car. i asked him why my car is sitting like junk car in the parking lot he told me he has so many cars to work on and he has to pay rent for his shop and bills... and since i was changing my mind a lot about car he said he can not work on the car. YES i changed my mind because thought i could get the car back sooner if i give him a less work for the car. even today he is keep saying he could not finish my car because i changed my mind too much.. so in november 2007 i went to his shop to see my car again but wtf ? nothing is there... so i posted thread for whereabouts of RHD DESIGN and i told little story about it. he calls me a couple days after and cussing at me saying "you motherf**ker your car is ganna park n the street and i dont give a sh*t it if it get towed away" someting like that... i was 300 miles away from his shop was and i kept called him back to calm him down and explain why i post thread on zilvia about asking where the shop is. i was worried that steven ran away with my car and money or... i was frustrated. i told him i am sorry for posting on ziliva and telling people abot my story. so he told me he is ganna put the car back. middle of november i went to his new shop on irwindale ave i saw my car as same condition as before. he said he is going to work on my car real soon after he finishes work on few more cars. and i decided to sell the car after finishes and i asked steven if he can sell it for me and i told him give me like..$3500 and keep whatever you are making after, i already had new car and i was not hurry even the car was at his shop for almost a year but i have ride so... i went back to arizona again. in december i was really upset because he never returns my phone calls and i did not know what the heck was goin on with my car so saturday i went to his shop see if i could just get my car out of that shop and have the work someplace else i went to his shop with luisgonz because i was ganna have him do the work. nobody at the shop i did not see my car in the parking lot. guess because it was saturday. i kept called him and called him and called him finally april 14th of 2008 he called me and told me car is ready for paint job i txt him back saying i dont think paint job is need it. http://zilvia.net/f/2201160-post54.html july 24th of 2008 PHLIP told steven to get these prblems solved he did call me on 25th and asked me what i want... i told him just give me $2k and keep the car. he said he will see when he can pay that money and he could make a payments for that $2k i told him no problem. he told me he will call me next day to let me know when he can make a first payment. he did not call me back. i told PHLIP because he told me to pm him if he does not call me back. and i was instructed to have this review of steven's shop and steven him self. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The information, as is being fed back to me, is that, and I quote: Quote: Now with peter kim. Its a big ordeal with peter changing his mind while the work is in progress and almost complete time to time. I will have steven contact peter You wouldn't happen to be telling me half of the story or anything, would you? It is one thing that Steven has had a whole asshole full of poor dealings, but the information being fed back to me is that this is a 2-way street. -------------------------------------------------------------------- that is pm sent to phlip from Steven's girl friend on july 25th as you can see he is still giving excuse hi self about i changing my mind. its been over one and half year..... i dont think that excuse is good enough... i know some of you had good service from him i am not saying he does bad work or anything -------------------------------------------------------------- 11-11-2007, 07:32 PM #17 (permalink) tiresmokes13 Smoke for Days!! ![]() Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Socal Posts: 461 Rep Power: 65 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() i am only going to say one thing.

Off 60/605 Posts: 6,488 Rep Power: 911 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm speaking generally, as I know nothing about RHD Design or Steven. This is not a comment about RHD/Steven, just speaking my mind. I'm tired of seeing these kind of threads about businesses. I'm tired of people getting scammed (which is also the customer's responsibility, but that's a whole other post). I think as a business you should try to stay as reachable as possible. I find it very shocking when I read or hear businesses try to make excuses why they couldn't be reached (for an extended period of time). Phone, aim, email, etc, so many methods in this day and age, so excuses really don't make sense. If you're swapping someone's motor and its taking longer than expected or if there are issues, you should be the one contacting the customer, rather than the customer trying to play phone tag. I think a lot of businesses forget that they were/are customers as well. I'm not perfect either, but I try as much as possible to constantly put myself in the customer's shoes, cause otherwise I feel guilty stringing out a customer, etc. It's unfortunate that out of all industries, the automotive industry has the worst stigma attached to it. Hopefully, someday this will change. --------------------------------------------------------------- i apoloigize for using your comments without your permission. STEVEN IF YOU SEE THIS LETS GET THIS SHIT END. GIVE ME $2K AND YOU KEEP THE CAR I DONT CARE YOU CALL ME OR NOT SEND CHECK OR MONEY ORDER TO MY ADDRESS AND WE DONT HAVE TO TALK AGAIN. I AM TIRED TO CALL YOU AND WAIT FOR YOUR NONSENSE. my address is 1050 S WESTMORELAND AVE #109 LOS ANGELES CA 90006 MY # IS 213-598-7536 I HOPE I GET SOMETHING SOON

| Hi ![]() | F' that....sorry to hear about your ordeal man. Really sucks when people can't come through like that. I had a similar situation like that when i was younger but i ended up getting my car back paying only $2600 out of the original $5000 worth of work. dude didnt know how to run a business so he kept my car for 9 months and didnt do jack shiznitz to my car until the end to i didnt pay the full amount. |

Trader Rating: (3) | I made Steven and his girlfriend aware via PM that they would need to sort out their issues, instead I was given stories shifting the blame to people who have VERY PUBLICLY stated that they have had issue with them and their shop. "She" even asked me to not link her with him, saying that she has been operating separately of him, and that SHE has been selling goods. The issue, here, is that he has made no secret of the fact that he has posted from her screen name when he was banned before, not to mention the fact that they STILL share an IP address and his screen name has conveniently not been on since the 18th, yet hers is on every day. Their shared presence is a stain on our marketplace, and complaints of bad business have been constant about him and his shop. As I promised, I am banning them both from the marketplace indefinitely until I receive word that issues presented to me have been resolved.

PS- Steven if you read this, man I called to just see how your damn shop is coming along f***er... -=o) |

| Zilvia Addict ![]() | I agree with this guy, I got screwed 2k because a guy by the name of Matt (drove a grey Z32 TT) told me he was gonna sell me a 91 hatch after 4 months of excuses, suddenly I have NO idea where he is, all I know is that his girl drives a silver 04ish civic coupe and supposedly he's in jail for fraud, I found out later through his other customers that he had been f**king pple over for years and that he's in jail for fraud over 75k. I hope this doesn't happen to you man, my advice to you is ALWAYS know where he lives, his licence plate #, and address, that way he doesn't pull a houdini on you. |

Trader Rating: (3) | Double check that... RHD Japan has a rotating banner and they are in good standing... RHD Design is a wart on Zilvia's ass... I am not exactly sure I want Steven or his woman back in the marketplace.
