I was informed by a club friend that a member of another board was purchasing something thru the above site. I was told the payment was requested via money order made out to "Steve Stromberg"

The address is close to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

The website looks very similar to type 4 parts dot com owned by (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

If this is true beware not to step in the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

I hearby "RELEASE THE HOUNDS" to to uncover the truth.

That is blocks from his house. this guy Koch may not know about Steve. Or he might. I don't know. I just know someone i trust passed on the information in my original post. If it is :stomberg: i don't want anyone else to get (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

RE: the small block page. Clayton aka twstd1 is friends with John Edwards and i'm having him do some work on my V8 rebuild too. Don't let the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hitfan[1].gif) spray on the innocent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) claimed he had some of my engine work done by John and that proved to be false. He just charged me for the work. John had never seen my motor.

someone in the area should drive by that Superior St addy in Newport Beach and see if it's a p.o. box affair. i glanced at the koch site under 914 and fuel injection. that emerald setup that steve was representing is featured. check your shoes before you get in the car. you never know until it's too late.

that's a business park address in NB. lots of little office parks and stuff. i did a google earth on it and i'm familar with the area. It's close to HOAG Hospital and Triangle Square. a few miles from his last know address.

i'm sure the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) doesn't want any hint of his name associated with the site. But, once you get that skunk smell on something, it's impossible to get it off.

OK,

I have news. the problem is that I haven't verified all of it yet. And I hate posting suppositions. That leads to crazy innaccurate analysis and bad vibes.

So I am going to post what I have heard so far. don't take this info as Gospel. it might take me a couple of days to verify all of this.

I really have to watch what I say here. Good men can be harmed so easily.

It happened to John Edwards. I don't want to see this happen again.

1: I called John Edwards as my first phone call.
I asked him if had heard anything about Stromburg lately. he told me some guy had called him looking for Stromburg. He got burned on some parts that never showed up. And he is local in Costa mesa.
The mans name is David Koch.

2: Apparently David Koch is the either the owner of Kochracingengines or has something to do with it. (absolutely not verified)

3: David Koch used to work at fat. (not verified)

4: Stromburg designed the Koch web site. Hence that is why it looks like Stromburgs old site and has John Edwards posted as the machinist.
The Koch site looks almost exactly like the old Type4 web site that Stromburg used to have. (not verified)

5: The Santa Ana address is Davids home address. (not verified)

6: David told John Edwards that he was approached by stromburg to build him a web site and help him get air some cooled bussiness. (not verified)

7) Started to call my local bros. A couple of the fellas had heard of him. Nothign bad said about him. So far. I will know much more tommorrow about David. I know my friends will know all about him.

8: David may be an unwitting player in this. i will find out for sure. I have a phone call into David now. I am waiting for a return phone call. problem is I have his shop number. I will try to get his home or cell after I write this.

9: There is NO DOUBT in my mind that this is a Stromburg Incident.

10: Jake. you want in? you have my number.

I've tried calling Jake - he must still be at the hospital with his dad.

I pulled the source code for type4parts.com off the internet way back machine archive and the html tags and huge sections of copied text from various websites looks familiar between turd's site and this new site, which would make sense if he had paid turd to do it.

I guess I should be flattered that a section of my web site was in there. Same with Jake's site (and store).

This guy must not know what he has in his store, since there are aluminum nikasil cylinders listed that were a result of my refusing to sell to turd.

Charles,

Jake and I go way back on this subject matter. it's too long of a story to post here. In fact the previous turd incident is how I met Jake.

A couple of my motorcycle friends with interesting patches on their attire are doing some due diligence as i write this.

More will be revealed.

Even my surf buddy's are looking for the Turd now. Cause he thinks he is a surfer of some repute. (not...and thats verified)

I wish i could say what i think here. it's just not prudent from a litigous perspective.

I need to shut up now before I say something stupid.

if ya need me. call me...949*232* 3873
