NS Another Canadian

Hey guys. I am from Nova Scotia, don't have an RX but am a big fan of them. I guess I do have a mini...lol....as some may see by my screen name, I have an Mazda MX-3 that I modified. Alot of people think that my car shares some of its lines with a 7, but I don't see it.

Looking forward to talking to some of you.

Well, I like rx7's and I do want to get a FD hopefully soon. I am also looking for some parts to help finish my mx3 project that I am almost finished off. I just need a set of 4 of the 550cc injectors, the 195500-2020's. So if anyone has a set that they want to get rid off, please let me know asap.

I bought a set of the 1350's of a guy on another forum and he sent me 3 low impedance and 1 high impedance injectors, which are really no good to me. I also don't think they will work on my car without some machining. Now he won't refund me my money so I am out more money due to getting ripped off.

Well, I bought a set of injectors from another forum and when they got here they were 195500-1350 injectors. I thought well, at least I got something to run in my car. Checked the resistance in them just before I dropped them in and.........surprise, surprise.......they were different. I now have 3 low impedance and 1 high impedance injectors.

I emailed him and he said to send them back to him for a refund, but I feel that I should get the refund first and then send them back. He did not agree and since then refused my refund saying that they were fine when he had them and maybe they got damaged in shipping. I laughed to myself and tried to figure out how an injector can change their resistance during shipping. LOL!!! So I tried to expain to him that it wasn't broken, it was a different injector, so he said that he measured the resistance before sending them out and they were all the same. Again, I told hime that it was impossible that he measured them unless he got them mixed up with another set, which he replied that he didn't and it was my problem now.

I then made a claim through paypal and they refused my refund only 2 minutes after I made the claim. I have no idea how you can review a case and make a decision after only 2 minutes, but they did.

I bought a set of injectors from a company during the time I was trying to get a refund and they should be here next week or so. I am now stuck with these injectors, so I am wondering what I should do with them. Would they sell on here, especially the single high imp injector, where it is only one? Or should I sell them all on ebay as singles?

Thanks. I hate getting ripped off over the damn internet. I also lost a set of headlights to an idiot that said he would mold in projectors. That was about 3 years ago.......never did see my headlights again. He was a great magician!! LOL
