Unhappy Message for Dano at Guru Racing

Hi Dano, I am wondering if the parts I ordered and paid $450aud almost 2 months ago are ever going to arrive or have I been ripped off?
You don't seem to reply to e-mails so I will try this approach...

Chances are pretty good that you've been ripped off and Danno paid his rent with your money. Try and contact John D. for help but Danno's a thief and very few actually get their money back. Hey Danno, I'm still waiting for that refund LOL.....

Cool, another red 951 from Brisbane!

If I remember right Danno announced he was not going to be doing business any more on here a couple of months ago, at the same time that Guru stopped being Rennlist sponsors and Vitesse became sponsors. And I don't recall seeing him post on here since - so based on that I don't like your chances... :-/

Hope you paid with a credit card. If so, start chargeback proceedings. Your parts will either show up very quickly, or you'll get refunded by the credit card company. If you used Paypal, start a dispute with them, and you'll probably get similar results. When I bought chips from him, I used Paypal and waited around a month and half with no delivery. He quit responding to emails and PMs, so I started a Paypal dispute and the chips magically appeared a few days later.

I really wouldn't bother. I could tell no difference performance wise between the Guru chips I bought back in the spring and the Vitesse chips I replaced them with. However, the Vitesse chips did idle a little better and seem to perform better at part throttle. Plus with John, you know you'll get your parts very quickly.

ANYONE WHO EVEN THINKS ABOUT DOING BUSINESS WITH GURU needs to do a thorough search on this board FIRST!

If you still want to do business then...

heh, i saw this post when it had zero replies... made a bet with myself that it would turn into a flame fest in under 180 minutes.....

Elliott - I decided to make your bleeder the centerpiece on my table. It looks really nice. I don't think I want to give it back now.

HOLY ROLO FROM OT!
I don't think business and Danno can be used in the same sentence.

Eric, I happen to know that you are engaged...to a woman this time, so I am certain my bleeder will not remain at the center of her...err your table.

Let's do lunch this week. Same time, same joint.



Sorry for the hijack, but our hijack will certainly be more plaeasant than the rest of the responses you'll get concerning Danno.

Let me say a few words in behalf of my friend Danno. 1st.) No, you have not been ripped off, that's the wrong term. You have been robbed. 2nd.) Danno is not a just a crook but a professional thief 3rd) I really hope you were a innocent victim, but not someone who had seen the warnings about danno on this board and ignored them, if that is the case you got what you deserved.

I can’t believe danno still has his website running, someone ought to report that to the authorities, it’s unfair to people who live in foreign countries.

Business aside the technical information on his website is still of good use and the programming in his chips for the base kit is not a vague copy of the turbo Cup chipset.
