"2003civic" aka Quoc (Tim) nobody trust this guy. i purchased a set of used hayame coilovers from him about 6 months ago that were damaged. the set was 2 good rears, 2 bad fronts. he said the stock rear uppermounts will work with the hayame. so we installed them at a 7thgen meet called "tech-day", and it was horrible. everything was installed correctly and tightened... still problems with the hayames. only solution is to use the actual hayame rear uppermounts, not the stock ones. gave him many calls and pms about it and he said yeah ok. well, its been like 4 months and he never came thru with the rear uppermounts. it was so much bs, then i wanted my refund back or something in return, he just kept comming up with excuses like "i would've been down 200 than cuz i had another buyer at the time.. now he thinks somethings wrong with it.."
he said he was going to be in LA for 2 weeks than vegas afterwards. called him one day, he was in LA and told me hes gonna be in vegas next week. so i call next 2 weeks and his buddy picks up and says their in LA still
so now, no phonecalls,PMs,emails, or IMs from this guy for the past month and weeks. im still calling this guy every other day and PMing him and even IMing him on AIM but seems like he blocked me on this site and aim.
in case he trys to hassle with any other members here, his real name is
Quoc Nguyen. also known as Tim
aim: Yo ITs QuOc
7thgen name: 2003civic (also 02civicsivtec?)
vietnamese
age 20
located in california, san leandro/san lorenzo 510
drives black coupe, velox v-8 rims, exhaust, lowered
cell: 510-828-xxxx (if you recongnize any number like that, beware)
Tim, if your reading this, at least let me know wsup so i wont have to depend on you to get the last pieces of the hayames. if you can get me the rear hayame uppermounts so i can actually ride on them, ill lose the thread and apologize...
*edit* finally PMs me after 4 months and tells me its my fault and will not come thru with suspension pieces.. not trustworthy and poor seller

Rep Power: 333 he gotten into an accident with them and he said the only one that was damaged was the front-right coilover. when i brought it to techday, i noticed a crack around the tie-rod connector on the other front one, it was rideable but i wouldnt risk it cause the tie-rod plays a big role in suspension.. so now its 2 "good" rears.
wel.. most vendors here arent really legit.. im soon to get a rota distro liscence with proper business paperwork Ie tax info, business id card.. so ppl know i dont mess around. . gives the buyer a chance to get me in trouble if i dont help them.. anyways.. expect to see CHEAP CHEAP prices on rota rimz from slipstream to circuit 8's in all sizes and colors..low shipping and LOW LOW price.. probably cheaper than aany other vendor in your town or online..

Rep Power: 0 Sorry to hear that, that sucks, talk to a mod or somebody who can ban. Thats why I dont buy used, too many worries about what Im getting. Even if I was to buy something used that looked perfect, I would stress about it the whole time I was using it. Hope he gets whats comin, and you get get your $$ back. People suck like that.

Rep Power: 0 how much is getting spare upper mounts from hayame? since the 2 front ones are bad, maybe you can order 2 front v2 ones and the upper mounts for the rear?

Rep Power: 333 i tried that but no luck. I called spw (hayame distrubitor) and they cant sell spare pieces like uppermounts, spring, etc unless the product itself was defected. only option they gave me were buying a whole new v2 set for wholesale price $450+ship.

That's a really good price for any coilover, jttegx, but I do understand that you purchased the Hayame's wanting a good deal for good parts.

Rep Power: 333 i bet he created another user name. if possible, can anyone track the ip that was used to create the username "2003civic" and see if any other log in usernames were used with the same ip?

Rep Power: 0 My webhosting site globat.com has a stat list that only I can see and it shows me all ip's that connect with my webpage www.thepcfixerguy.com but the problem is you can buy a new nic card for less than 10.00 dollars! and when you reconnect with your isp you'll get a different ip. Its based on your nic cards 12 digit Id(first 6 manufactor's code/last 6 your cards #) When I used to host a team fortress server, I would ban guys only to have them change there nic.Try to sell what you have on ebay, then take up that company for the new set at wholesale? maybe?

Rep Power: 0 Sorry to hear about all of this mess. I can't stand it when people try to scam others through the internet.
I don't think I'll ever buy something from anyone on this site again, even if they are well known. Take for instance Carbon Fly......I purchased a hood from him and it was damaged through UPS. So he gets the hood back, which was insured and keeps the insurance money plus my money I paid him for the hood. Also the hood was slightly damaged....just the ends bent a little. But UPS gave him the insurance money, he kept my money, and he kept a perfectuly good usable hood.
Can you believe a moderator doing this? Oh and he still hasn't responded to any of my emails or personal messages I sent him. He just ignored me. It's tough to deal with, but what can we do?
