I'm sure a lot of you guys have already heard about the mess I got into with Tom Borrink when I hired him to build me a set of custom BB PV R2 Rocket Pipes for a 10 mil PV Cheetah that I had built, but I wanted to post a thread up on here so everybody knows to stay clear of him and WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T SEND HIM ANY MONEY, TOOLS, PARTS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT HAS ANY MONETARY VALUE!!! (1) I paid him $950 to design and build me one set of bare finish hydroformed pipes that matched my new 535cc Cheetah. (2) Then he started giving me a line of shit about his tug welder burning up on him and not having a set of sheet metal sheers and a bunch of other tooling that was required in order to build my pipes that he no longer had because he lost them when he split with his last ex-wife. ~ I told him to send me the links to sheers and other tooling he needed and I'd order it and have it shipped to him and boxed up my BRAND NEW Lincoln Tig Welder and shipped it to him so he could use it until he got his tig welder fixed or bought a new one. I told him; as far as the new tooling I bought was concerned he could pay me back a little at a time as he got the money. (3) A month or so passed by and I got a call from him saying he had contacted his Brother (Ron Borrink, the guy that actually designed and developed the Original Rocket Pipes "R1's" and R2's back in the day) and the designs and cut outs were finished........ but he was in between jobs and he didn't have the money to purchase the materials, welding gas, etc ($400 worth of shit) he needed to build my pipes but if I'd loan him the money he'd get it back to me in a few weeks. ~ So I sent him $400 to cover the materials and gas. The next thing I know he calls me up and tells me he's moving to Kentucky and he's designed two new versions of Banshee Pipes and a YFZ-450R Exhaust Systems and he's going back into the pipe building business and he wants me to be a 50% partner, but he needs to barrow my Duramax Pick-Up to move the camper he's going to live in temporarily until his new house and shop is built and he needs to use my shop temporarily to build pipes in until his is done. ~ At this point I must have been gluten for punishment because l loaned him my truck and he destroyed the transfer case in it, parked the camper on my property so him along with his in-laws and wife would have a place to live until his pipe business was back in full swing. Anyway to make a long story short he leached off me for three months, then broke in my shop and stole about 10k worth of tools and hooked to his piece of shit camper and headed to Tennessee. Since my incounter with him I've found out he has done this to a bunch of people before and after me and he's addicted to meth and heroin. Stay away from this piece of shit, don't let him take you like he took me.
