How Jim ripped you off - Specifics Options

Short story for me...

"Price for a standard GEN3 with upgraded Heat exchanger and upgraded pump, and plug and play harness
2800 shipped to your door."

I got the GEN3, with no heat exchanger, no pump, and no plug & play harness.

Sourcing an aftermarket exchanger and pump is looking around 300 to 350 not including the attaching bits, harness not complete estimated cost 400 dollars.

If you need further details, I'll edit them into it.

It was over a year ago and I have a bad memory; but it started as...

"Everything you need for an AWD swap", I paid immediately, which was one of the complaints he had about most people. I paid in November 2010. I didnt have any parts until like March 2011. Then he 'forgot' the transmission. I understand 2-3 weeks shipping stuff with freight, but time was very important to me.

In his defense he did eventually get me the transmission, but I was under a big deadline as I made the decision to convert the car to AWD instead of buy a Plate differential and race my car as FWD. I had a race June 2011.... and I really needed the parts. I figured i'd have them all in January, really put me in a tough place as far as getting the car done.

He sent me a driveshaft from a ST185 (i'm assuming), instead of a st205, which didnt fit into the transmission. I end up ordering one from Japan.

Also the front axle he sent me, the threads were completely destroyed. I bought other axles and use his as piece parts.



The thing that really bothered me was he kept stringing me along with time. "Going out tomorrow, for 4 months" I would have rather accepted, hey yeah i dont know when you're getting it if ever.... at least i could have planned for that with my build.

Manny/pressure tried to help out gave me his cell and even talked to him for me which I greatly appreciated, but when you're not dealing with honest people it doesnt make much of a difference.
