Hey Greg it was twenty years ago.....
On September 7, 1999 we were at Button Willow driving the ex-Rahal Reynard. Time flies.
I brought a picture to Laguna last weekend in case you showed up. I was crewing Horn and Peter Nosler came by.

I have had no issues with Greg
I bought a few items from Greg, delivered as promised, no problems
Don't do it , don't do it, do not do business with this assh
My nightmare starts in December of 2019 when I thought that maybe I could get some uprights that I had for my VanDiemen fitted with his parts(big mistake).
He asked me to trade in my original uprights and he would sell them for me. I refused knowing that I could go back them if things don't work out. I knew that I wasn't in a hurry to get them so it could take a long time and that would be OK.
After they were sent, I thought that I would get an Email stating that everything was received in good order but I did not. Knowing that He most likely did not have these parts on the shelf, I was going to wait for these parts to be machined. Occasionally I would send an Email to him asking for some kind of update to know that all was going well and parts were being made. FOUR, FIVE, SIX MONTHS went buy and nothing. No word Nothing.
At this time you picture him sitting on a beach in Mexico drinking an umbrella drink and saying what a sucker I was. Then Finally I get a shipping notice after EIGHT months. Being in the middle of the pandemic and no racing, I start to remove my original uprights and install the new ones.
First problem: The brake caliper on the rears do not go on. The brake disk does not line up. I find out that I need to remove the brake disk and reverse it.
Next Problem: The wheel nut does not thread on the rear sub axles. I tried a rethreading die to clean it up. That goes two threads and stops. In the subsequent phone call I am told that probably my wheel nut is bad. The wheel nuts at the rear go on the fronts with no problem so I doubt that it is my wheel nuts.
Third Problem: I try to put a front wheel on and have to tighten the wheel nut to seat the wheel on the hub. Now to remove the wheel, I have beat it with a rubber mallet several times to get the wheel off! At first I think that the drive pins are too big for my wheels and they need to be smaller. I take pictures of everything and finally send the two stub axles and all of the drive pins back to him.
And nothing for another six months and out of the blue I get a phone call. He has figured out the problem: The hubs have the wrong bolt circle diameter for the pin drives. I don't want to send them to him but I am informed that if I tried to change them myself then I will just mess everything up. Also if they are sent to him, he would do a quick (less than 4 years) turn around. So I sent them back on my dime even though I should have. And then I wait one, two three, four and five weeks and nothing.
Finally six weeks and two Emails later I get an unexpected package on my door step. Now I see that there are the two stub axles in the rears but not drive pins. Also the stub axle retainer and bolts for the left front are missing.
Another week goes by and finally get a package with the pin drives and the stub axle retainer but no bolts. OK I can get bolts, nuts and washers for the retainer. All along I have thought that he has tried to make it right and fixed everything. I get the uprights installed and go to put the wheel nut on a rear. It goes three three threads and stops. CRAP! I had purchase others from Primus and change them out.
So now only thing left is to put wheels on. So I get a front and put it up and thread on the nut. I feel that the nut is driving the wheel on the hub. Once the nut is loosened I have to beat the wheel off.
So I am back to square one. This guy has no QC program along with no feelings to make things right to his customers. If there was a lawyer that would start a law suit against him then I would gladly join in. There should be plenty of P.O.'d customers that could make a case against him. Here on Apex he should get the same treatment as Jon Lewis and be banned from Apex, have all of his threads removed and any advertising removed.
