So I think someone might be trying to scam me on Nasioc. I bought a JDM STI TMIC last week from this guy and he's giving me the run around and hasn't shipped it yet. I then see that he's selling his FXT advertising that it has a JDM TMIC. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1549612 I'd like someone to request a pic of his engine bay so I can see if it's the same tmic he "sold" me. It will be obvious as the tmic had "STI" resprayed on it - so it doesn't look clean. I don't want to be obvious by me posting and asking for a pic of the intercooler, as I'd like to bust him and have solid evidence. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he hasn't responded to my last couple of pm's. I'd appreciate if anyone can give me a hand.
There is a method to report scammers on NASIOC, and it is taken pretty seriously. Honestly, I would just post your details that he hasn't shipped yet and is ignoring your PM's in the original FS thread.
I would have already, but for some reason I can't see my sent pm's, so I can't prove how many times I've tried to contact him. I figured getting a pic of the same part he's selling on his car that he sold me would be indisputable evidence.
Here's his photobucket album. http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z202/fahrendummkopf/?start=20 You could try going through his pics on there and see if you can find any of the engine bay.
well this the trustworthy guy seems to have 2 intercoolers in his album. and this one so i'm not sure which one you bought. very well is probably the dirty IC...
