Hey guys don't know if this is the right place to post this but if not im sorry in advanced. 4 months ago I brought a turbo kit off a member named sik_m8 i was meant to get turbo/manifold, oil and water lines, inlet manifold, stock air-box, crossover, inter-cooler and piping. He said that he had to send the cooler and piping separately because it was to heavy for the bloke to lift, a few days go by i receive the first package with the turbo/manifold, inlet manifold and stock air-box it was missing the turbo water and oil lines and the crossover. So i messaged him and let him know he said he would send them. another few days... Than a few weeks, Mind you i was messaging him asking were it is and he kept making excuses. than he said the cooler and piping got lost in the mail but it was insured so ill deposit $200 back into your account, been 3/4 months now and he wont reply to me, so just warning you guys don't buy anything off this guy ripped me off $200 now im going to proceed to contact the police in relation to this and maybe even go to court. just a future warning guys.

yeah supposedly the max was 30killos and it come to 32... wtf like 2 more killos would kill him. Also makes me think he never had it and was never going to send it. So now ill make him pay that $200 through court or something. ---------- Post added 06-01-14 at 23:49 ---------- I have all the messages proving that he was meant to send it and deposit the money into my account so will be interesting.

Sucks mate but that's what can happen when you buy privately. I live in a remote part of WA and have to get every thing posted even stuff you find at super Shizuoka auto. $200 is not a big loss and you got some stuff at least Police will laugh and say take it up with "small claims". Some things you can do to cover your self are Obtain picture of licence, car parts look in the back ground How do they treat there things? What car is it coming off? A picture can tell you a lot Good luck bud
