My dealing with Xtreme Motorsports...
In March of 2009 I was referred to Xtreme because I was having difficulty getting a 4" Callies Dragonslayer. Chris advised he could get me one. from then on, we started doing business.
In mid April I drove up to meet him and take a look at the shop... I brought everything for a complete shortblock assembly for him also. oil pump, oil pan, timing set, timing cover, rear main cover, ARP main studs, oil pan bolts, timing cover bolts, harmonic balancer and even my camshaft. he told me where to set it all down and that we are looking at an early may completion date. so far, things seemed to be going well. In may, I called him up and asked how its going, He came back with things being very busy at the machine shop and that he will try to hurry them up. no worries. June, still very little communication coming back from him, but he threw out his back or something to that extent and was moving a little slower. No biggy for me, I mean, hell, If I hurt myself pretty bad at work, I know I wouldn't be getting things done in the timetable I was able to prior to the injury. Finally, October comes, and Chris doesn't answer my calls, or voicemails, hardly even texts. this is where I start getting the heeby Jeebies.. I already paid 100% and have no product, plus all the other things I brought up to him, and now I can't seem to get in touch... At this point my friend offered to help me get my stuff. And she did, that same week, I got some pictures of an LS2 block and the pistons. Ok.. I'm starting to feel a little better now. my friend applied a little pressure and asked if we came up on Monday, would it be ready? he advised yes. so I think it was October 26th, we drove up and picked up all my parts and the shortblock. However, Chris or Xtreme, didn't necessarily have to be Chris. but long story short, my Cam walked off. slightly irritating, however the project did change a little bit (Scope Creep) and the cam wasn't going to be needed anyway. Chris advised to just send him the specs for my new cam and he'll get it ground and shipped to me at no cost to me. I tried to get the spec's out of my local shop so Chris could grind it for me. the Local shop was concerned about tossing out numbers. Chris then offered to just pay me $400 for a new cam, I agreed. I get the block home, starting to feel better now. Next weekend, I pull the windage tray of just to double check everything is in good order and torqued right... and wait a sec, the Crank says "Compstar" forged into the last Bob. sigh. Called up Chris and to my amazement he did actually answer. adding to my comfort. figure everyone makes mistakes and considering all the trouble we have been dancing around. a little mix-up is nothing that can't be fixed right... Chris apologized and said He'll get right on it. and then again. another communications blackout. So, in November, I found a link to this forum off of Xtreme's web page. figured I'd read up a little and maybe something happened to Chris or Xtreme and I could get some info off of here. Seemed his wife Keli did a lot of posting and public relations stuff on the board, so I figured, well... lets tell her my story and see if we can work this out. Below is the PM I sent her. Quote:

Now, as I stated before, I don't like bringing the negative out into the light. According to Chris and Keli, Chris suffered a back injury, machine shop slowdowns, his grandfather passing, and possibly many other things. I'm not god, I will not judge. I do hope everything is alright with him and in the future, If I need something, I hope I can look to Xtreme to help me out. |
I should add I live in Coral Springs, FL Approx 502 miles away.. so Driving there is not necessarily a spur of the moment thing.

I'm wondering if this poster has the same IP address as the "other" poster who is upset enough to drag on a simple solution for years..... This poster is quite long winded as well.... Same poster who signed up for a new screen name?........... Rich? Shadow? Can either of you advise?

My story is honest and true, I was just being poked and prodded when i posted on another thread, that I should start my own. so I did.

I missed this post on 5-26 but now that I see it I notice no response from Xtreme since Bubba posted this thread. Maybe Xtreme doesn't don't know about it. This guy also posted his name and city. And his story sounds very familiar.
