Oh damn, that sucks. I hate that SSautochrome guy. He sucks. I can't believe egay lets him stay with all the negative comments he has. That's so wrong.

Tell me about it. When I originally bought my parts from them, I got an email saying that I had to give positive feedback before I'd get feedback. That ticked me off because I suddenly realized exactly why they have as much positive feedback as they do. It certainly isn't their attitude or customer relations, or even products for that matter. I gave them neutral feedback stating that the parts *looked* good, but that they had a positive feedback requirement and that they hadn't responded to a couple of emails I'd sent. Then I get a bs negative feedback on my account from them. For nothing! I paid within like an hour of the auction! This company totally sucks. If they don't give me my money back, I'm going to see if I can't get a class-action lawsuit going on them. Someone needs to as many people as they rip off. Oh yeah, I complained to egay about the bs negative feedback and they said there was nothing they could do. I'd have to pay about $40 to use square trade to get it removed. Yeah. Ebay probably owns squaretrade just like paypal. They are just as corrupt as ssautochrome if you ask me.

Yeah, ---- them all. I saw that negative feedback on you and I didn't understand it. Now it makes more sense. That is soooo fucked up. I can't believe ebay is ok with that. That can't be right. You got negative because you were giving the negative feedback he deserved. How is that legal? ---- that. I have had people ask me to leave them feedback before and I ignored them because after I leave feedback they have me by the *****. I don't want to take a negative for some rat bastard cheating me. That pisses me off so bad about SSautochrome and I have never even had the pleasure of dealing with him. I'd kick his *** if I ever saw him in person. What a punk bitch.

to find out if its a BB center spin it and spin one you know is not ball bearing center the diff will be obvious. i have seen a gt35r spin with just air from a shop fan blowing thru it. they spin very easily.


i asked that sschrome guy for a phone number so he can deal direct with my friend since he has no web access and never got a reply...prolly thought i was social engineering and he was gonna get an earful. sucks to be him. he will get his before its all over. he is not making any friends i can see.

I say take them to court. A member of the MR2 community recently won $10k because he took his engine to a rebuilder and they were supposed to install nice rods and pistons. After he got the engine back, and installed it in the car, as soon as he gave it some decent boost the engine failed. He then took it apart and found that the parts were all stock... then took them to court.

Give it a shot.. might not get $10k but you should get something. Plus they could lose their right to sell on ebay.
