  1. Yes, i'm glad that i had the pic's saved, because that helped for sure. I'm not at all pleased that this occurred, but i hope that he learned from this. Not to do anything like this to any other member from now on. This shouldn't happen.
  2. .Yea, but i didn't think that i had to being that it's not Craigslist or Ebay.
  3. NOT FOR ME! Member EMosley is looking for clean fully functional 87-89 stock radio, with working casette. His contact # is 770 776-9353. Thxs.
  4. Well dgcanales90 lost the case. It's sad that there is always someone trying to get over. This is a car club, a community of poeple that share a common interest. I feel that there should be a required tolerance or some kind of rules. Enforce rules that will keep members from doing the wrong things.To have any dishonest member kick out of the club. I can see having misunderstandings, but when someone actually steals something from another member. That is crossing the line. We are here to help one another, to keep our cars going for as long as we can. Well, just wanted the say my peace. Happy New Year to all!
  5. Yes Sir, I did that right away. How the hell is he going to swap out my td05h parts, and replace it with td05 part and damage compressor part. I'm not blind so i don't know what was he thinking. Thanks
  6. Well, i didn't want to say much more before because the case was being handled with Paypal. Paypal told him to ship the turbo back to me on Dec.9th, and that i must receive the turbo no later than Dec.20th. Long story short, he mailed it out on Dec.16th. The package was playing ping pong all over the place. On Dec. 21th. i see the USPS truck go pass my address, so i go over to the truck. I asked about my package and he tells me " its been hard to find you because the shipping label was incorrect ". He put down the wrong address, this would have gone back to him if i didn't go over to the truck. Well, the box looks like its been through hell. Opened the box to see very little packing material to protect the turbo. Now, i notice that the turbine wheel and compressor wheel are not the same ones the turbo had on. I had a td05h turbine wheel on, it now has a 12a turbine wheel, even the nut is different. The compressor wheel looks like it rubbed on a housing before. The actuator is also different, granted this one is paint free, he kept the banjo bolts and a stub. Without a thought kept the internals too, because there is play. There no need for me to send this turbo back to get tested and checked for a problem that he was claiming it had. You can plainly see what you was up to and is all about. Here are some pic's to compare the turbo that i posted and sold back on Sept.12th. You can clearly see the different number stamped on the back of turbine wheels. I zoom in on the original pic that i posted, and you can see a number 2 there. Where as the turbine wheel that he sent me is stamped 751 and is a 12a wheel. Me, personally will not do business ever again with him. --At your own risk-- Oh, his name is dgcanales90 What he sent me--------------------------------------------------- 751 stamped on his wheel http://imageshack.us/a/img841/3817/pjxu.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img854/9414/mr5m.jpg My original posted pic http://imageshack.us/a/img843/5339/v42r.jpg Zoom in pic of my original, you can see a number 2 -------------------------------- My original compressor pic http://imageshack.us/a/img14/5488/giqj.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img545/9959/iy2z.jpg What he sent me ---------------------------------------------- Actuator he sent me- mine was painted up http://imageshack.us/a/img809/1470/unvb.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img46/3540/5w8e.jpg
  7. Yes, i know that. Crazy to hear that you lost that case because your manager forget to write the problem down.
  8. I know that, that's the first thing i did- click on pic. Does not enlarge
  9. I' m not a shop, this was a personal sale. Well, i'm not here to judge any member based on their grammar. I just want to help the community in my own small way. Help some members that want to do some upgrades to their cars. Yes, i saw that in the beginning he didn't have the money. When he gave me the story about his kid, i just wanted to help him out. How, even why, would you take your car to a shop if you don't even have the money to pay the mechanic- as he stated. If his mechanic saw that the flapper was staying opened and let say that the actuator was bad. Why not just simply use the actuator off of the 12A turbo that the car had. I feel that he just needs to get his hands on some money and this is what he decided to do. Just want to thank the members that have put in their input ( replies ) on this.
  10. As you may or may not know, i have sold more than a few rebuilt 16g, s16g and 14b turbos to members on this forum. The last 14b turbo transaction is the one of topic. Member pm's me with interest on 14b turbo, then a little time goes by. So i contact him to see what up. I get story about his kid ending up in hospital, i said "cool- i will hold the turbo for you". More time goes by, so i contact him again. He now had to wait for the end of the week. The 14b turbo gets sold on 25 October 2013. Mind you i posted the turbo on 12 September 2013. I didn't hear anything until 26 November 2013, that he hears a siren sound coming from the turbo. So i reply to him the same day, that the check and may sure that the v clamp is on straight and tight. If it's on crooked the turbine wheel will rub. I didn't hear from him until 3 December 2013 that the car is not boosting and he wants his money back. Will i try to copy and plaste your pm's from this date. on 03 December 2013 - 06:28 PM, said: Contacting you about the turbo I just pick up my car from the shop. I took it to a licensed mechanic that specializes in these cars. Well he told the turbo is no good dose not boost for nothing. The car runs good but the turbo no Boost. so I don't know what to do this is my daily driver this car getting from here and there helps me get around pick up my son I'm been lucky enough to my moms left out of town for the month and she left me her car that's what I've been using. so please contact me back to see what we can do to see if you can give me my money back and I'll be gladly to return the turbo back to you. so I really need invest in a Turbo I could get into my car ASAP. I never have a lot of time to work on my car so I always take to this guy cause he owns 3 starion and a lot of people down here know him. So please contact when you can My reply to him the same day I'm trying to understand what going on. You buy the turbo, than i don't hear from you for a while. When you do contacted me you only stated that there was a sirne sound coming from the turbo. I quickly replyed back to you, that to check the v clamp to make sure it is not on crooked. Again a little time go by without hearing from you telling me that fix the problem or not. Now you contact me saying turbo doesn't boost. I have sold a handful of turbo here, alway rebuilt the turbos in the same manner. You have had this turbo for over a month. You will be the first to have something wrong. Not saying that it's not possible. I'll tell you what- ship the turbo to me so that i can have the turbo checked. If there is something wrong, it will be fixed and i will pay you back for your shipping plus send it back to you. If there is nothing wrong with it, you pay for both shippings to and from. That's the best i can do, to work with you. I have no idea in what condition that your car is in to just blame the turbo or to know what you did. Let me know. Sent Yesterday, 02:49 PM I took the car to the shop when he installed it I went the car turn but never drove it. The noise was that wastegate flat Stayed open every was put in correctly. I need to pay the guy so I can get my car back had to come up with the money. When I pick it up that's when we drove it to see how it runs. I'm always busy I work 2 jobs and take care of my boy. OK so if there's something wrong with are you going to return my money back like I said I need a Turbo asap it's my only car. importdriver88 today date What do you guys think? Will i know that not having boost is because of the wastegate staying opened. That is not the turbo, that is the turbo actuator problem. Wow over one month ago. Now he open up a dispute case.
