I need to up the fuel and get a standalone for my FC.

Getting money Wednesday so I can buy ASAP!

Prefer new injectors or re manned with flow charts

Need plug and play Power FC w/ commander to tune before the end of this month!

Thanks in advance for any help / offers

Hmmm...all of a sudden you have pictures of a nasty motor that you cant guarantee was the one you bought from me. How do i know you aren't taking the good parts from my motor and the one you just bought and returning nothing but junk to me? Im sorry but i sold you a complete motor and you cant provide that anymore so the deal is off. You took a risk in buying an old motor and now you cant give me what is mine
i was there helping mel install that motor that you sold... and it was a bad motor... once we fired it up that motor was smoking like crazy... but still mel gave it a chance becuz you told him it was just sitting in the shop... so we took it for a drive to see if the smoke will go away and got the same result...... i thought it was really fucked up that he got sold a bad motor... then on post from you i saw that you owed LiL Red some money or a replacement motor... i asked him about it and he told me that you sold him a motor that was messed up too... he told me he took it apart and found a penny and a nickle in the motor... so i told mel and he took the motor apart and saw that the housings were fucked up...

I would like to apologize to Lil Red for dragging his name to this thread. I used him as an example to prove a point. So sorry again Lil Red.

Less talk and more action. Stop replying to everyone's posts trying to defend yourself and just pay Mel back his money, you're only going to make yourself look worse. That's the only thing that will change what people think about you, talk is cheap, like you said.

wow:|
mel hasnt sold me anything that didnt work, he actually has given me some **** and said, rebuild it and it will run, and it did, look in my rx4 wagon.
having done business in all forms, you never, and i mean NEVER, vouche for someone. in any sales model. for 250 bucks, give him his money and call it a day. its easy to say here is ur money and save face. but trying to back out last minute is not cool, its actually bad business practice.

put it easy terms, autozone sells brakepads from duralast. they warranty it although they are only the middle man. because they ARE the middle man.
so with that said, u woulda lost 250, gotten flamed, but u woulda saved face and had a comeback that said, i gave him his money back, . the customer service goes alot further than trying to figre **** out and not take responsibility

I can also vouch for Wacko, even if he likes to slurp other people, this fool has helped me in the past, and even when I bugged him about smog checks, when he really doesn't do them.

he helped me when he didn't have to, plus all the **** I have bought from him has not been faulty.

Ok guys. The purpose of this thread is to get Mel's money refunded. There will be no roast flaming party going down here!

Let's keep it Civil and all is well, take it past the civil point with some of the responses I have seen and some of you guys will have to deal with me. :-)

I am sorry Doc,

I just get so emotional because of my previous businesses with him. It took me nearly 1 year to resolve a problem. I don't want the same thing to happen to my friend Ramel.

I really apologize Doc.

I will keep my horses down. and STFU

^ Thank you.

Everyone needs to remember that the purpose here is to "Resolve" the issue. The kind of posting that I have seen is just instigating and throwing the situation out of control, that is what happens in a Riot and there are no winners.

Out of respect to Mel and in the spirit of acting in a mature and respectful manner the only posts that really need to be going in this thread are between Mel and Eddie.....

Thank you,

Doc.

I dont need it. I have other motors that I can put together but I'm not sure which route to go (n/a or turbo). The issue with my son's FB has been taken care of. I stole the motor off one of my RX-3.

thank bro.
