Anyone else find Flying Tomatoes' JHM bashing odd?

When I think of Rush I think of the movie “I love you man”

I do like a few of their songs though, they are a little before my time.

“JHM’s rotors crack” - actually no. BenSTlie claimed his JHM LWFR cracked at the track. Fact is stock Brembo rotors all show stress cracks in them after a certain age. A rotor cracking isn’t headline news…especially when JHM posted that BenSTlie NEVER BOUGHT JHM ROTORS. Further, the irony is that FlyTom runs JHM rotors on his own car.

“JHM’s pulleys throw belts” - actually, no. Hundreds of customers have the JHMLWCP on their B67 S4s and B7 RS4s. Literally hundreds. We have seen 2 I believe who had problems. That in itself is acceptable as a rub of the green problem rate. Of course he ignores that. When you look deeper, JHM bought back both of those pulleys from TonyRS4 and Daytona. They installled Tony’s pulley on their in house RS4, and had no problems after thousands of miles. They then sold it second hand at a reduced price to a customer who has had it for a year now, and is happy with it. Installer issue as usual. Tony should know better. He installed his stock pulley on his car on his own. He should have done the same with the JHM pulley (he outsourced the job to an independant shop who from the looks of it didn’t follow instructions unfortunately)

but hey, what do I know.

Huh, you’re claiming I was reimbursed for my pulley. When did that happen? Saki, the main problem that a lot of people have with you is that you make things up. My pulley is sitting in a box at my house. Certainly available for sale at a “reduced price” if anyone wants it. PM me if you do! JHM rotors can not be used for track use. This isn’t even up for debate anymore for anyone with sense. Even JHM says you shouldn’t use them for track use.

bump…

oh wait, there is no traffic on this site that needs bumping. same 10 people talking to each other.

whatsapp might be a better alternative.

Sweet, then go use whatsapp and stop posting here :-*

No different to QW, RS246, even the RS4 section in AZ. It’s a small site. Small enough to browse using unread messages only. Different strokes for different folks. Hugely telling that FT has avoided this site though!

And lied about doing so.

honest mistake LG. I thought you had returned it to JHM?

I don’t need to fucking make things up. I’m pretty comfortable with the facts. It’s easy to focus on the facts.

As for their rotors, not even sure why you’re bringing that up.

oh wow…you will enjoy it. Pretty awesome.

after you see it, you will want to find/buy/auction/steal one of the little lyric cards that Neil Peart created back in the day when writing the songs.

would you want to join a site where all the people think you are a liar, make fun of you and have very few things positive to say about your car and mods?

what will he gain by joining here? c’mon guys… you weren’t born yesterday.

Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely check it out. Btw, have you read any of his books? I dug Ghost Rider…both book and song. Pretty heavy stuff considering where it all comes from.

Actually most of us really like his car, it looks great minus the wheel thing…just a little more stanced than I personally prefer. We also have said great things about the APR kit and it makes awesome power.

Most of us that have an issue, it’s because he goes around making things up. If he thought he had a good argument then he would expand on those claims, instead he says bullshit real fast, tucks his tail and runs away. It’s apparent that is his forte, just look at his rs246 post. He claims to care about the community, his reasoning for spreading BS about JHM. But he will stick up for a shit show like PES? and a known scammer? He is clueless about the community truthfully, he just wants attention over his car and modlist…poser enthusiast IMHO. It’s his way of making up for being a loser without his car to talk about.

that’s what’s so funny…what has anyone said that was negative about his car?

I made fun of his silly stancetard fitment wheels (10.5" width, aggressive offset and 275 tires) a few months ago. Best part? He got rid of the stancetarded wheels and replaced them with something more RS4 fitment friendly. Imagine that.

That’s it. Everyone likes his car, his supercharger kit, his MTM exhaust and custom MTM downpipes.

So in reality, he is avoiding the site because of his b.s. That makes sense…a bullshitter doesn’t like to be somewhere they can’t be protected by moderators or a warm coccoon of morons who don’t realise he’s full of shit or campaigning.

He actually claimed that he signed up here and wasn’t approved by the site admin, however the site owner posted that this was 100% not true. A moderator (clochner) confirmed that above and at the time.

Zmon, badblue and daytona. Why don’t you guys focus on facts rather than patting the junior APR sales rep on the back all day. You might learn something. Rs4saloon you’re a lost cause who is absolutely clueless, as you proved a couple months ago whenever you opened your forum mouth. You can focus on your 911 and should sell your RS4 for some sort of BMW to complete the arsehole exactor.

Seriously though at the end of the day, we all own Audis, and many of us own RS4s. Why not work as a group to learn about the cars, grow the knowledge base, and encourage great results? Being negative faggots and making stories up isn’t exactly fun.

Look at APR or TTS…those guys are supported very well on this site. Same goes for GIAC in the B8 section. If you’re doing well, you do well on AR. If you’re doing poorly like PES, and going bankrupt and leaving customers on the hook…you will get raped on AR.

If you’re a guy with a car and have mods other guys don’t have, nobody here gives a shit. If you are a guy who then turns it into a war by telling lies about other companies, you will also get raped on AR. It’s very black and white.

Personally? I think the RS4 guys need to band together and support the platform. It’s small enough as a community…there are like 100 RS4 owners with forum accounts. Push the platform and continue being the absolute best Audi performance car choice for the enthusiast community.

So…what do you say?

And why do you think that is?

If someone is continually caught lying and hurting other companies/businesses and fellow Audi owners, why wouldn’t we rape him verbally or set the record straight? And by caught lying, I mean hard factual evidence of lying, not simply hearsay or unfounded suspicions.

If you don’t think it’s appropriate to highlight someone is lying, you have strange values or you’re biased with your own agenda.

You guys run wild with assumptions, accusations, and personal attacks on this site. Until that changes there are a lot of people who will just choose not to associate with AR. You can just look 1 page back on this thread and see how you all took 24 hours bashing FT based on a convo he wasn’t even involved in. Sure, there’s a lot of technical info here. But the poor childish behavior far exceeds any benefit that comes from being on this forum. Saki, u are the leader of that and ur minions just follow so it’s up to you to make the change. There is never any valid reason for anyone to be posting personal info such as addresses/pictures/employment etc of another member (unless they are involved in stealing money from people.) Once there’s a real effort to actually stick to discussions of cars etc. I think maybe there will be more of a blending of the community. But as long as things exist the way they do now there will always be split camps. And you guys will get to keep AR all to yourselves. If that’s what you actually want, just enjoy it. But don’t expect other opinions/views to want to take part in it.

Dude, you’re so blind it’s absolutely nuts. FT is the one running wild unfounded accusations (and a few others like him). Yeah, we bashed FT thinking he was the one at SOWO (because the guy in question claimed to be the owner of FT’s car). Once it was discovered it wasn’t FT, it was cleared up.
Same with the LWCP. Once it was cleared up that one of the two wasn’t sent back to JHM, it was acknowledged and I can assure you, if it ever comes up again in a subsequent discussion, it won’t be mentioned again. Unlike FT who keeps claiming NY’s motor blew up when he’s been told (by the owner himself) that that never actually occurred. Yet he’s still spewing the same lies over and over again.

Get a fucking life. People like you who constant spew the same lies and shit all over the fucking place disgust me. You reek…bad…

Must be nice living in lala land. People are getting robbed all the time by scammers and crap quality products being passed off as top of the line. Get a clue. We’re talking about real people’s real lives and real wallets being impacted. Maybe you’re just a selfish prick but others prefer to look out for fellow owners.

Gibson, look how easily your influenced by your home site. We can have great discussions here if you don’t just make things up.

Your a classic example of “installer error” of a product, correct? Unfortunately when the wrong people get ahold of an issue like that with a vendetta against a company (like a QW duo) they fabircate a ton of non sense for true enthusiasts to sift through.

How do you like you JHM exhaust fit and finish? If it is anything like my FI S4 exhuast I’m sure it’s pretty damn nice.

I am personally sick of him making his little BS remarks about products he never directly had an issue with. It’s also ridiculous to bring up motor issues of people who put their issues out there like NY. He also posted the guy from Long islands pictures and info he got from Elite when the guy didn’t even want the info on the forum. It’s follish to say the JHM tune did it in that example when the car was Uni tuned for 2 years and tens of thousands of miles. The list goes on, but sometimes I feel like you guys come here to instigate and that is it.

Well said. The bottom line is that you guys have awesome cars and some very good options for adding a crazy amount of power. No one on here bashes a company that has proven, track-tested results. AR will, however, always call out the liars and scammers, and unlike other forums, there is no one on here who will edit/delete posts to put those companies in a more positive light. No one sponsors this forum (God is the owner), so members only have their facts to rely on. No special favors here. That’s something that all Audi enthusiasts should embrace.

Also, just to be clear if people don’t fit in or last here because of their “member rating,” that is their own fault. If you disagree with one or two people, they cannot drive your member rating down in one day, but if the majority think you are a tool, which happens often, then you don’t last long.

This is the best feature I’ve ever seen. You can’t get banned for saying anything, no stupid warnings or infractions. Plenty of us disagree but manage to co-exist but when you lump everyone on AR into the same category you probably won’t start out with many friends.

Maybe I’m just slow, but I don’t see any point to your comment? I say there’s no reason to post personal info about people unless they are scamming someone and you argue that people are getting robbed blah blah blah. What does any of that have to do with a justification of posting personal info about someone who has some sort of disagreement with you?
