FYI on sound deading removal: I removed my sound deading on the entire car and it wasn’t that bad at all. No dry ice, just a hammer and a chisel. Use a chisel and hit the 15+ year old material in small sections and it will literally break right off. To me it was worth is because I RAAMMated the car again…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

It is so bad that oil was leaking out of my exhaust halfway down the car!!

He refuses to refund me any money since he is claiming the shipping company must have done something to the motor. Yeh right, I'm sure they took the motor apart while it was on the truck and damaged the oil seals.



He sent that message exactly a month ago! This guy is a SCAMMER!!!
dude idk wtf happened to your engine but it must have been an accident. I never met ruben personally but hes helped me out with parts enough for me to know he wouldn't pull any bullshit on purpose.

Sorry that happened to you (just bought a bad engine myself 2 months ago. were **** out of luck) but thats the way the game goes, and truly doubt it was intentional.

As an owner of an imported FC it would be retarded for you to convert to RHD. What gets in peoples heads that this **** is sweet? We get them in Canada because they are dirt cheap, not because we think were super jdm sitting on the wrong side. Driving on 2 lane highway is a death trap. You can't turn left at lights without literally getting out of your seat and doing a full body lean over to the left side. If your right handed it feels odd shifting with the left hand.

The good:

You can parallel park pretty good.

I'm sure since you've never met him personally that you must know him very well.

He sold me a junk motor, told me he would repay me, and has avoided contacting/replying to me since making that promise a month ago.

scammer.
