Fastassturbo2: Forget sellers...possibly one of the WORST members of this forum!!!!
Hi,
Well, it takes a WHOLE lot to **** me off and unfortunately (or fortunately) depending upon how you look at it, Fastassturbo2 has officially become the second member to ever really do so. I'd like to tell the story of Amir aka Fastassturbo2 and how this man went from attempting to be my good rx7 friend to an insulting, bigoting, derogatory member all rather quickly.
Background: I came across Amir when he was interested in purchasing a fuel system I was selling. He contacted me back and forth to discuss details, additional parts, etc. Infact, before we actually even finalized any deal, I would be talking to him multiple times within a day to discuss his car, his set-up, etc. I even tried helping him find contacts and vendors to assist with his engine build. He seemed like a very nice guy so I honestly didn't mind.
Well, when it came time to purchase, Amir essentially had me break-up my fuel system to cater to his needs. I told him initially I didn't want to do this either, but that I'd make an exception. On top of that he didn't want to pay me outright what I was asking...I lowered my price even more. Finally, after all this he insisted on me accepting a trade for some parts he had lying around. I told him that I had NO use for stock parts, but he really wanted me to workout a trade. Eventually the only parts I told him I'd accept were a stock turbo/manifold that were suppossed to be in good condition.
Moving forward: I finally meet up with him in possibly one of the WORST winterstorms of the past few years. I waited on him for nearly 3 1/2 hours and eventually I decided to meet him somewhere closer to where he was. I had asked him the day before to please pay me in cash when we meet since we can avoid the Paypal fees. Well, he told me he didn't have time to go to the bank so he paid me via Paypal resulting in another loss on my end. No big deal...I still thought he was a "good guy". Anyways, we met up, talked for a bit, and exchanged parts. I wasn't able to inspect his turbo on the spot, but he promised me that if there were any issues whatsoever just let him know and he'd take care of it.
Just about caught up: Well, it took me an additional 2 months to finally sell his turbos. I sold them based on his description (my mistake
) and once the other party received them I was immediately notified of their unusable condition...****! I told the other party not to worry and that he would receive a refund in full and simply to return the parts. I apologized for the mistake on my end and for wasting his time.
I contacted Amir since he had himself told me "if there's ever a problem with these turbos..."...well there was! I was absolutely stunned and floored by Amir's responses. Basically approaching it from a different angle at this time and claiming I ripped him off and that I won't get anything from him. Wow...didn't expect that one. Well, I continued to PM him back and forth to try and resolve the situation. He became increasingly more aggressive and insulting. Until at one point he told me he should now take back his word that these turbos were in good working conditon and that he would NOT honor a trade/refund for good condition turbos...that these were sold "as-is". After that, I told him to keep his damn trade/refund and I'd simply let others know what type of scumbag he really is...
Below I'll post the exact dialogue Amir and I had so everyone can see for themselves what type of individual we are subjected to dealing with within this community. PATHETIC...that's what I think of him. I have absolutely nothing to hide and I already know what Amir's defense will be:
Amir's Defense: He claims ignorance on his own parts conditions and he claims that I actually ripped him off by over-charging him in the first place for my parts. What he fails to understand though is that I DIDN'T want his garbage stock parts in the first place! He came to me...not the other way around. He used me...not the other way around. He insulted me and made very very derogatory comments towards me...not the other way around! He "claims" he was a new member so didn't know how much things go for...SUREEEE...this is coming from the same person who was asking me to price-match on every part he inquired about. He mentioned part prices himself to me and told me how much he could get things elsewhere. In the end, if you're buying parts online or in any online market...you are ONLINE shopping and just about every single person I know that's online and purchases online KNOWS how to shop around. He is NOT that innocent so don't let his simply "I didn't know the market prices" excuse play anyone for a fool. I already got burned by this guy...I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
Thanks,
Rizwan

I paid you 350 in cash for your parts and a turbo. the injectors go for 60 bucks for the pair, the rail goes for 100 bucks and the resistors who knows 20? and the fuel pressure regulator brand new is 120 so this is used it would be around 80. If I do my math correctly 60+100+20+80 = 260. Now I gave you not only my turbos that i was told were working, but 350 in cash. Now you tell me if that adds up? I don't think so. I stand my ground. If you want to make a fool out of me feel free. I have my math and I am sticking to it. Now in regards to the turbo, I should get that back period, and I should of never gaveit to you, but you took me for a fool as far as prices, now I can guarntee that majority will agree that I got jipped off. You knew i was new to the forum at the time and said "oh this is the ongoing prices" I got screwed on the fuel system, you never gave me the primary rail or injectors or braided lines, this "semi-incomplete" kit was a pile. But I said forget it I am not going to deal with you again. Do what you want. But I am not forking more money to you, this is just obsured!!! and I WILLL NEVER do business with you again! and I will post this since you are starting to really **** me off!!!!
good bye
good bye

The conversations posted below begin after we have conducted our initial trade/offer. This is the first time I've contacted him since I found out that the turbos were junk. This is my first contact, followed by his initial response:

I'm going to give you an opportunity to make this right. I need a resolution ASAP so let me know what you can come up with. I'm pretty dissappointed myself by what's transpired here.

BUt looking back at the payment of 350 + the turbos for the injectors, rail and fuel pressure regulator.....people are selling that combo for 300 in itself. I think in this situation I got jipped...becasue the twins go for 200 to 250 in working order...I gave you alot more then you deserve.
This being said I was a rookie at the time I got back on this forum and didn't know the ongoing prices for items...I would like to atleast get money back from what I gave you and I will also provide you a set of healthy turbos are are in excellent condition.
The money I would like back is 200, and I will also provide you a good set of turbos. I think that is fair and justifies the ongoing prices for the parts i recieved from you. instead of getting ripped off with your high prices...You let me know...otherwise I will give you your fuel parts back and I would like my money returned and my orginal set of turbos and essentially canceling the transaction....
You let me know what you want to do.

You could have just as easily sold your turbos yourself and paid me what I was asking. I didn't come to you at the end of the day, you wanted something from me. I always tell people when they make trades with me for parts that *I do not need* I will only take them if it's worth it for me. Otherwise, why would I put my own effort in to sell these things and not get anything in return. I'd prefer cash for my own parts if that's the case.
Anyways, I'm going to return your junk turbo and manifold. Even if you think my prices are a "rip-off" atleast I didn't sell you unusable parts. At the end of the day I sold you working items and you sold me physically and internally junk parts. Please get my stuff ready to return, I'll refund your money and the turbos for everything I gave you with the fuel kit. I'm going to have to get the turbo returned to me first so it'll be about a week before I have everything ready to return.
I'm very susprised by how all of this turned out. Oh well...I've been burned in the past too. Using the "muslim" card to play me though, now that was low.
Thanks,
Rizwan

I havent even tested your parts to know if there even useable...and by the way..the turbos were in a running car, hence I got the car with a blown motor...I was told from the previous owner the turbos were fine, hence why I sold them. I do not have a reputation of selling junk items. I told you I have 2 sets that are in perfect condition and that would work. I also mentioned I can ship those to you at no charge to fix your issue, as I was unaware that the previous ones were at fault. I can stand behind that.
But as far as your parts...I will return those...But as stated I am not getting jewed, so whatever you sold the turbos for that can return to me in my pocket as cash. I will return your parts and I would like the refund...otherwise 200 back would be good. You cant make tons of money off of me now..im not that virgin that didn;t know prices...
I have never had issues before up and until now. As stated I honestly didnt know these were bad...they spun fine when I gave them to you. That is why I didnt question it. i am not out to get anyone nor rip anyone off...hence why my prices are very low on parts unlike yours...
And pulling the muslim card wasnt meant to do anything but say were brothers and hook it up...but in reality you fucked me real good by your prices! You know dam well you made alot of money off of me if those turbos were fine you made 600 bucks or so off of me.....including the 350 i had given you...for a partial fuel system that was only work 300 tops at most...so don't **** with me if you want to man up then I understand...but If i have to poll people to see what they think I will...and I can guarntee your parts are only worth 300 tops! +/-25 bucks if I am off....
So get your head on straight and be a mature adult and fess up that you did rip me off on your prices....again I dont mind sending you a set of healthy turbos to fix the problem...as I am not one to cheat or screw anyone over! Now if I didnt agree with you and wouldnt offer to send you a set of turbos and told you to deal with it..then you have every right to talk **** or state what you stated...but I am loyal and will stand behind my parts....if there bad I will replace them no questions asked....catch my drift pal?
So all in all you have quite a few options here that I have no problem fulfilling since I am not an ******* who is out to screw people over!

I will return your parts, you return mine. I'll give you your $350 back and we're back to square one. That's as far as I'd like to go with this. I can source my own damn turbos and please don't get smart with me about pricing etc. Weren't you the one who just told me you got a longblock for $700 or so and you're selling parts off of it to make money? So, please don't pretend like you're not here for something yourself. On top of that, I spent quite a bit of time explaining basic **** to you because I thought you were a good guy. Whatever man, I'm done with this and don't need it. You can think whatever you want of me, but at the end of the day I know who I am and what I'm about. I don't go around to other muslims and pretend to be their friends so I can get a "hook-up". I actually pay muslims the same or more to look out for my fellow brothers.
I'll let you know when I get the turbos back. I'm out $100 on shipping alone and I'm not even complaining about that.
Good day,
Rizwan
P.S. Stop calling me "Riz". I reserve that for friends and you're definitely not one. I respect you by atleast addressing you by your proper name so if you can't do that, don't address me at all.

You just couldn't let it go and had to keep trying to insult me, etc. Well that's fine. I hope you got your enjoyment out of it. I will post our PM's "word-for-word".

I also stated I wasn't well aware of this. I also mentioned becasue of this I can provide you another set to satsify your customer, since I am one about providing excellent customer service and stand behind my parts.
You choose not to work with me. I realized I was taken for the amount of money you made, essentially I gave you those turbos for free. Since I provided you $350 in cash for a half part of a fuel system, which is more then fair for a used set of 1600cc injectors, rail and regulator. I am sure everyone on here will agree with me.
So after being on the forum much longer now and knowing the ongoing prices of parts, how is it fair for you to screw me over on this deal?
I would think everyone on here would agree with me. Yet here I am stating I can give you another set of turbos to replace the damaged ones that were stated. I have no issues doing this and will say it again. But after relaizing the amount of money I have lost from this transaction. I would feel much more comfortable if you can refund me 200 becasue you sold me a fuel set that is only worth 300 bucks not 600+....
If you want to place a thread on here to ruin my reputation go ahead. But I have plenty of people that have boughten from me and are very satisfied with there items. I have stated before I was unaware of this as the engine was blown and the car was a rolling chassis. So I find myself a credible source and haven't said otherwise but what the seller told me when I recieved the car.
I am unsure why your animosity towards me is so high...I didnt do anything to screw you over...

Still more...I'll continue in the next post...
Just remeber, I told you I have two other sets of turbos, that I was willing to give to you in leau of the previous turbos that were given to me when I bought the car. The previous owner stated the turbo's were fine. I am no where near here to screw people as I have had psotive feedback. But of anything I feel that I was completely RIPPED off. Either way I am biting the bullet and not going to deal with you ever again.

He PM'd me again, followed by my response and then his again:
FINALLY, after all this, I let myself cool down for a little bit and recently proposed a plan to Amir to find a resolution outside of this avenue. Our PM's follow...funny thing is this guy is so thoughtless he copy/pasted the same response to me that he listed above

Let me know as I want to fix the situation.

People have had issues with me in the past, but I always and I do mean always end up working things out. There are those few instances though where I'm pushed so far that I no longer care to find an amicable resolution. This happens to be one of those cases...
Like I've told you I'm eating the loss. I've learned who you are and I intend on letting others know what I've discovered.
Also, don't worry about my customer. He's not being screwed...I am. I never let people hang for my mistakes so my customer should be of no concern to you. He actually no longer wants turbos either because of this whole mess so taking yours for the second time would do nothing for me.
So, no need to feel bad for anyone. The only person who feels bad in this instance is me. I feel bad for trusting you so wholeheartedly and getting all of this in exchange. Oh well, I'll chalk it up to another learning experience...

So please understand me this time and realize that only hating and burning bridges is not who i am as an indivdual, I proclaim peace and truth.

FINALLY, after all this, I let myself cool down for a little bit and recently proposed a plan to Amir to find a resolution outside of this avenue. Our PM's follow...funny thing is this guy is so thoughtless he copy/pasted the same response to me that he listed above

Just remeber, I told you I have two other sets of turbos, that I was willing to give to you in leau of the previous turbos that were given to me when I bought the car. The previous owner stated the turbo's were fine. I am no where near here to screw people as I have had psotive feedback. But of anything I feel that I was completely RIPPED off. Either way I am biting the bullet and not going to deal with you ever again.
PLEASE...I can't believe you even have the dignity to say something like that. "You bite the bullet"...hahaha...please I'm the one who got burned in this instance. You lost nothing! You received a perfectly good fuel system that you wanted me to breakdown to cater to your needs. I accepted a trade I didn't want to, offered you less than what I was asking and you never even included the price of the fittings or lines in that well thought out breakdown of parts you listed above.
I'me done with YOU! Trust me, I will never look back and don't forget my words. I don't need people like you in my life and I'm hard-pressed to believe anyone can fathom knowing a person as shameless as yourself

Oh and please stop saying "CASH"...you didn't pay me in cash. That's what I asked you to do, you paid me via Paypal and there is a difference. Thank you.

Hmmm...I wonder why'd you'd ever type a response like the one listed below if that was truly the case?!?
Name-calling again, huh Amir? I envy your intelligence.

actually there is a difference in cash and paypal/check.
cash is upfront and instant, paypal has fees, as well as doesnt put the money immediately in the persons hand. Same with a check.
When i bought my rx7 a couple weeks ago, guy wanted 2k. I told him 13 cash next day, and we agreed on 1500 cash in hand. Not a check, not paypal, CASH.
were these fuel system parts OEM or aftermarket?
also, the racial and stereotype jokes are extremely unprofessional and reflect poorly (ex: you "jewed" me out of my money)

your right it is unprofessional...but when your irate, you don't think about being nice or lovely, you tend to speak out of anger. I apologized about my verbage, but this in fact upsets me. I can't say or do anymore, but to say I will not deal with him ever again, god knows if his stuff works, as it is still sitting around...
And to think I was going to get stock rails and injectors from you...
Your initial actions are what screwed you Amir, and your making yourself look more pathetic in this thread.

Yeah I sold the rails and injectors no problem. I have postive feedback except for this one bad apple.
Well, this is one very bad apple because Riz is a very reputable and respected person on the boards.
How did you come to the price of the fuel system having a value of only $260? If you look online for a set it'd be at least $750 for the system. It just seems like you're pulling this stuff out of your ***. When you give someone bad items in a trade you don't offer to give them something else if they pay you $100, that's just ridiculous.
Riz, you really need to check the stuff you get, hahaha.

just how old is this sale anyways? Talking about Amir being a new member, and yet he joined this forum eight years ago.....
first off, Amir, the comments you are posting are not appropriate here. We dont need people cursing each other out and the like in this section, please. It's really funny--you have previously commented to other people that foul language isnt permitted in the classified sections, and saying that the person should be reported.....wouldnt the same rules apply to yourself as well?
Second, its no secret that you have been dealing in parts on this forum since at least 2002, and from your posts, it is quite clear that you know what youre talking about. So, unless this deal happened in the first 9 months that you were a member here, I am sorry to say I cannot believe that you didnt know if the price he sold these parts to you for was fair or not. You have also spent a bit of time dealing in parts on other car forums as well, such as Nopistons, MX6.com, and NewCelica.
Finally, this deal had to have taken place after August 2006, since that was when the seller became a member here. It would be a little difficult for him to get PM's here from a buyer before he joined this forum. Shoot, you were affiliated with the Milwaukee chapter of SCCA as far back as August, 2005...so again, I have a hard time thinking that you wouldnt know enough about shopping prices for car parts after August 2006.

This sale was conducted sometime in Winter 2008. I didn't do as much background research as you Roller, but I do appreciate the help. I ***knew*** all along Amir was LYING! When we first got in contact he knew the pricing of everything he was interested in purchasing and was literally convincing me to lower my prices on everything I sold him...the sad part is that I considered him a good guy so I did.
From everything I've been subjected to, seen and heard, Amir seems to be an outright two-face, dishonest, liar that's willing to say or do whatever it takes to pretend to be something or someone he's not. I'm fully confident that had I not saved my PM's, his side of the story would've been much different.
It appears the self proclaimed "Virgin" had his cherry-popped a long time before he met me

Thanks! I was completely floored by both his valuations of my items as well as his "attempt" to get money out of me for the junk he sold me in the first place
I know lol. If it wasn't for his explicit promise to swap the turbos if they were bad for no charge, I would've never even taken them. The bigger problem was that I made the mistake of trusting this man and I paid for it.
There's a LOT of good people on this forum that I put my trust in, Amir just doesn't happen to be one of them!

For starters, it was only an LIM. Not much can really go wrong there. In the future, you might want to deal with people like Fritz, Japan2LA or even myself or others for these types of items.
More important, this thread is not about the fact that Amir **may** have had some positive transactions up till this point. It's an illustration of Amir's character and how he reacts and deals with situations when things go bad.
I can't believe this guy is STILL allowed to sell on this or any forum!!
YOU REMEMBER ME???
I've had a REALLY bad experience with this guy a few years ago and so does A LOT of people all over the forum including Teamfc3s.
Because of this guy, I am really careful who I buy from.
I don't care if he has had SOME positive feedbacks but once a crook , always a crook.
If this guy is from Wisconsin area, it's him. ...unless he recently moved.
I don't why moderators tolerate this sort of behavior. It's not like he pays fees to sell here.
Google his screen name. He's famous.

I'd like to hear more! I'll also do my own research, but what happened with you?
