Wow, I just saw this thread. I hope everything works out for Stick. Sounds like he is taking the proper steps. Best of luck.

He was apart of somthing good and a business owners nightmare happened.

Nothing is worse in life then being labeld an outcast or a lepor.

Sorry for everyone who got screwed.

Sorry for Scott because his dream has been crushed and now is labeld in the rotary community, but because of his own mistakes.

I almost feel bad for him....almost. We all go through crap, it's part of life. When that happens you should at least let the customer know there are issues that are delaying the project. Finish it ASAP though.

You do not stop the project, say you're working on it, not deliver and THEN charge money for work that was incomplete/never done.

It's just not right. Much like everything that's going on in the community lately. There is a right way and a wrong way to do thing and most people have been doing it wrong. There is always a choice

Hope he gets his just desserts (Mazport I mean)

I never wished bad things on Scott, it must be tough to go through this but as the old say goes, 'you made your bed, now sleep in it'.

At the end of the day, this comes down to business practices and the consequences for them.
I hope in time, Scott learns from this and that those affected by Mazsport are somehow made whole again. ie; orders fulfilled or money refunded, missing parts returned.

GreatShamanGT · 11-17-2008, 07:58 PM

I meant, that he pays up for all the people he took money from. If you look on the RX-8club posts about them closing down, you see A LOT of people had paid him $500+ for something and no word from Scott.

I hope the owner is in the process of taking legal action

He he I would have driven back to florida and kicked his A**

Im glad I got My engine from Dan Atkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

There is no reason to feel sorry for the bad guy. He did not do what he said he would do and lied about it time and again. In these situations, you never get your money back or get made whole. You do what you can to prevent them from doing it again. I sued a major tuner and won. It cost me a lot and I should have just paid some guys in Brooklyn to break some kneecaps. Would have felt better and cost less...

Any updates on this?

Jedi54 · 04-23-2010, 12:35 AM

update time!
Mazsport is back in business under another name: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=195827

Also, for those of you who have ever heard of Race Roots (formerly Fluid Motorsports), it turns out that our suspicions about here were correct and he's been working with Scott (Mazsport) all along.
what a slap in the face to the rotary community. He saw Scott steal from so many people and yet then hires him to work for his company knowing Scott has no intentions of ever paying anyone back.
Here is Race Roots "coming clean" about the whole thing: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=195840

i think trying to go to small claims court is useless in these matters; there is no compulsory enforcement for him to pay up, only if you defraud the government are you forced to. wonderful democracy there hey ! good luck ! www.kagoshimaenglish.com/rx4.htm my car pics and videos

Shouldn't this be in the good guy/bad guy section?
