Fucker must of seen my post about what dnscoop.com says its domain name is worth.

Scott-EP 03-10-2009 09:16 PM

sounds good to me, i believe everything i read on the internet.

BTW, i made 600whp on stock z6 pistons and dsm 450's with a 14b yesterday. 30psi on a D will turn you out!!!!

HiProfile 03-11-2009 01:52 AM

I think it was an awsome purchase, great for sponsors & scammers too. The innocent n00bs will taken by shady deals, have no idea what to purchase for their cars & therefor buy overpriced wares. However with all the old scammers effectively un-ipbanned, it may be an issue. That n00b cash will be funneled to a source he can't tap into.

Tacos 03-13-2009 12:09 AM

I don't buy forum parts, so my cash is safe!

AMkrew 03-13-2009 11:30 AM

***edit***

There's nothing wrong with parts purchased on the forum. Unfortunately, now, it'll be difficult to figure out who's scamming, and who's honest.

Tacos 03-13-2009 05:49 PM

I agree, you can get great deals on forums! But you can also become a vicitim real ------- fast. eBay is surely to have it at, and more times then not its discounted cheaper then what the shops here are asking, and that is with shipping.

Friends
Local Forums
Ebay
Shops

Scott-EP 03-13-2009 06:42 PM

for car stuff ebay is a great place for junk, sellers that dont communicate and the occasional good used part.

i do buy lots of other things there though

::EDIT::

thanks for supporting your forum sponsors, without us, you wouldn't have a forum to hand out on.

Tacos 03-13-2009 06:57 PM

I may be just taking your edit the wrong way, but I support forum sponsors; they are in that "shops" category. If/when I order from your shop, you wouldn't know it anyways:p

you are saying that ebay sells stuff cheaper than we do. it sure doesnt sound like you support forum sponsors.

am i the one misreading?

TurboGuy 03-13-2009 09:53 PM

Should have done his homework purchasing the site

Boostd DAteg 03-13-2009 10:58 PM

Wow Rick....
 
play in traffic

JonDouglas 03-13-2009 10:58 PM

Jesus ------- Christ! I can't even get to the members' build threads. The site is full of ------- fail now.

Goddamn! I really have no reason to come back over here anymore.

JonDouglas 03-13-2009 11:03 PM

Awesome job of screwing the pooch.

I'm out.

Yes you have.

If I can find the same part for a little less expensive somewhere else, or if I can fabricate it myself, I'm going to do so. Look at it as me not supporting you, but when it's my dollar I'm going to stretch that bitch as much as I can.

So if I can buy it cheaper or make it myself, then that is what I'll be doing. Look at it as you want, but I have to make my money build these toys of mine on top of providing for my family.

What your getting from Evans is customer service and support your not going to get from ------- ebay.

If your ---- is fucked up from ming kong, I hope you speak Vietnamese so that you can effectively communicate with their customer service representative.


Besides. He financially contributes to the fund that pays for this playground in which until recently was reserved only for those in that 5% of the boosting or wannabe boosting population with a collective car I.Q over 60.

respect your elders son.

There is more respect then you know, but i'm not going to spend more for the same part I can get for less $$. Me saving my $$ isn't being disrespectful to any vendor. And if it is, oh well.
As for the ---- i'll buy on eBay it is limited and has all came left the sellers place... state side and haven't had any problems with any of it within the 2 years this engine has been going.

Hope that cleared some air son.

Scott-EP 03-14-2009 06:55 AM

im all about saving money too, but with my parts, i have done the foot work to make sure everything i sell will do what its supposed to do and last. most of those assholes on ebay dont even know what the parts do, much less know if its any good or not.

i rarely buy something one of our forum sponsors sells from somewhere else. HMT used to be like the dysfunctional white trash family down the street with engines, bicycles, and broken toilets in their yard but, we were still a family and watched out for each other. i guess the change around here has messed that up too

browserman 03-14-2009 10:05 AM

Yeah this site no longer works on my iphone. What the goddamn ----! I also cant get into my 03 account. can't get to my pm's. ------- ---- bullshit. Just think rick, if you didn't change everything, this would still be a great site. now its fucked. Good job busting in and ------- it up!

turbo211 04-13-2009 06:16 PM

Wow seems like everyone really dont like this site anymore

turbo211 04-13-2009 06:16 PM

Ill give it a chance though, seems ok so far

89ef8 04-13-2009 08:16 PM
