well, i pushed my car out of martins, put the new parts into the car and then by martins instructions struggled to strip the engine down piece by piece, im now exceptionally sore and still have two more pistons to take out :/

so i found that when i added a ppp ECU to my classic it didnt run right, it had more boost and felt faster however, my air filter was different to what was mapped , my pistons where different and i ran on shell where he did bp, as such get it but tbh it ended up costing the same in the end once i had it remapped.

Nick you coming down tomorrow ?

I think gambit is a bot personally, i have seen no proof of existence, what do you reckon stanton ?

if anyone is coming down tomorrow ill be there as im stripping the engine down so it can be sent off :)

i did refund him simply bexause i couldnt be bothered to waste any more time over £25 and tbh ive just sold it for double so meh.

its the second monday of every month :) check in the regional part.

come down to the sheffield meet, and i know the leeds lads are planning a few as well

its actually the Skyline mate, driving along and its dropped to mani studs :( so had to rent a right angle drill and pleaded for them to get me in, i do however have my intercooler, boost solenoid and fuel pump to take to him, maybe the scooby fairies will put it back together for me :)

get a pink STI badge on the front and its there :) good looking car dude, cant wait to see it at the next meet.

I wouldnt mind but at end of day i tried to do him a favor doing it him alot cheaper than i really wanted to sell it, i do however believe in Karma and as such hope he goes to start his car tomorrow and the engines packed in :) due to £25 of bad fuel

Im waiting for some alcanatara STI seats for my however i dread to think how hard they will be to keep clean, yours look in good nick for the leather ones.

overpriced tbh, let me have em for a £10er :)im sure for that you will get em gone tbh :) or ring a scooby breakers up and haggle and get the Alcantara seats :)

more for skylines and silvias looking at them.

may see me depending how tomorrow goes :)

exactly mate :)

Im sure Martin could point you in the right direction of a garage ;)

40 post limit mate, already tried :/ and its worse than scooby net for being clicky.

tbh for the sake of it if it would have been more fair enough but ive just give him the smug smile and handed him the cash in a crumpled ball. He may have think him the victor but tbh i get to resell the exhaust again and im going to pass the feedback onto fleabay. Matt tbh i think thats what would happen in this case however due to an recent job application in i have alot more than my pride at stake, however i would have loved to take that to court tbh.

Bump, price drop £3700

The thing is hes a middle aged bloke, but it did give me a good chuckle when he said that about small claims court, especially when he said he had done it before. The biggest problem is Ebay full stop, they create the issue by deciding rather than have an advisor to referee it just to let it be a free for all.

I would say it would depend on the DV, there are many replicas out there, my mate has a replica TIAL on his EVO 6 and i warned him of the danger, he gets loss of boost pressure at 25 psi should be boost to 26. As for the exhaust, YAY and NAY, its rare tbh that you would get many issues, probably just run a little rich, if you got the decat then fair enough, however ive ran both my bug eye and Skyline on decats before getting mapped and they where alright tbh, Glad you had a great experience should get yourself to the next meet.

tbh hes obtained my details from somewhere, which is obviously broken DPA (data protection act) along the lines, for the sake of £25 ill happily give it him back,but when ive got a face to face visit it with him ill tell him that if i got anymore messages then ill take it further. In my 8 years on ebay i would say this is an extreme case tbh, ive had a few people whinge and leave negative feedback etc but this is really another level lol. small claims court is more than £25 and i really dont know what he would achieve. Im more annoyed that Ebay just let it happen.

So while having a clear out i found some old car parts. The item in question is a Stainless Ashley Exhaust off my old corsa C. i wanted a quick sale and so put it up for £45 incl postage. One Ebayer in particular kept offering me offers, 10,12,15,25. I decided £25 + postage to which he replied he would come to pick it up from Nottingham to save on paying the £15 postage. He comes and checks the exhaust and says it will fit his car, the money is exchanged and he is on his way. 4 hrs later i get a phone call and i am accused of selling a Corsa B exhaust, to which i reply i have never owned one EVER, and clearly pointed out that the exhaust was checked by him before the money was exchanged and he was happy with it. several days pass. I get bombarded by text messages now saying when will i do the exchange and give him the £25 back, i asked if he has took it to a garage to have it looked at to which he replied why should he. At this point his threat level also gets worse, I also contacted ebay prior to this and explained that he wont leave it (true ebay fashion you need to sort it by yourself) I now get a message with my full name and my parents names saying who would I like to go the small claims court so that he can retrieve his money that is owed, that he has done it before and is happy to do it again, He also states he knows where I Live :o (creeeepy) Now im not stupid and at no way did i threaten him however i explained politely if £25 meant that much he can come and get it from me personally and if i get another message things would go further, im going to contact ebay as well and explain that basically he is trying to cause alarm distress or harassment. If it wasnt for my job i would happily tell him to take it to a small claims court as i know i would win on the grounds that he inspected the items personally before sale, i just think he now doesnt want the exhaust as his mate etc has probably offered him one. Sorry for the rant but has anyone had any similar experience ?

So the idiotic driving basically means no handbraking etc in the yard, as lets not forget it is his place of business after all. however if you want to turn up with anti lag etc by all means do but just dont go crazy :)
