Basically i bought a manifold from him last month for $50.
He only disclosed one crack on the square where the turbo connects to it. When recieved nd upon close inspection my brother discovered 1" crack on the underside of one of the runners. In addition when email about it SoFlo never responded, i was not even asking for return or anything like that i was just letting him know to be more honest next time with more important stuff.

$50 is not a big deal, for me its a principle of honesty, i can fix that manifold but what if i had to pay someone to do it ? that means i would have spent more money then originally anticipated. Again, going back to the honesty thing.

thants my experience and i decided to share it with you guys so if you are dealing with him, MAKE SURE to ask ALOT of questions and pics of everything you want.

people need to be honest when selling items. hope things work out

I bought an HKS SSQV off him a while ago and it was a horrible experience. He was slow to respond to email or PM and the part took forever to get to me. When it did arrive it was beat to hell and missing the c-clip, seal and insert. He finally sent the insert but I had to buy the seal and c-clip separately and repaint the entire thing. ...which ended up costing me total just as much as buying the same bov new on ebay would have.

you should call his mom and tell her she raised a liar! call paul at dezod, he might still have it.

Wasn't going to say anything but I got some engine parts from him and it took several months to receive anything... Then when I got the parts I found they were damaged. Not a huge deal since I was planning on taking everything to a machine shop anyways but it ended up being touch and go there for a while since the machine shop said they were most likely unusable. Ended up not being smashed but the machine shop still has to test them a bit more before they give me a final verdict.

yeah i had some trouble getting the gauges i bought off of him. Had to wait a whole week for an install because i didnt get some of the parts, and the boost gauge is cracked but still functional.

WOW i'm honestly shocked that there is actually several people being upset with this guy..

Lets not have this " i wasn't going to say anything " mentality, as in my opinion you guys and i paid him in real money not 50% of them ripped or 50% of them in canadian dollars so everyone should get 100% of what they are paying for!

it woulda been alot easier if my car wasnt 3 hours away. eminem it took u a week to recieve gauges... big ____ing deal.. normal ups is 3-4 days stop crying. and i gave u EVERYTHING my car had to make these work. my head was in the machine shop i told you that and it had the oil unit on it and u said ok. and i never send u a boost gauge so lol? i sent u a boost controller and oil pressure. you people got your items and u got them cheap as ____. my ____ing 6 grand motor blew up stfu, u got ur items. Wow there was a hairline crack i didnt see on the mani? im sorry i dont have perfect eyesight on a BLACK COATED manifold. IT WAS 50 ____ING DOLLARS. and Hix i sent you the items i was TOLD they were in good condition and usable. hell they are usable rods are in perfect condition wow there scratched? lol o noes. k thx.

yea i ordered some male sex mag's from soflo took a week to get here! and all the page's stuck together WTH!!

hahahaha lmfaoooo!

:rofl: Chad, it's pretty pointless defending yourself here. No one cares if your "6 grand" motor blew.

The fact of the matter is you sold parts and didn't describe them accurately. If you had sold them on eBay, your PayPal account balance would be negative from all the complaints and chargebacks. Luckily, for you, items sold outside of eBay can't have claims filed against them for not being as described. Take some responsibility, it would be different if you gave the items away for free but you didn't, so the amount you sold them for as it equates to their functionality is irrelevant.

I'm sure Yev wouldn't have bought the mani if you told him it was cracked, it costs more to fix than you sold it to him for. Hix, wouldn't have bought your engine parts had he known 50% of them were unusable. The other guy wouldn't have bought your BOV had you told him all the parts that come with it would be missing.

It isn't like they bought parts from you and they weren't compatible with their setup, that would be the buyers fault, but clearly you didn't describe the problems in enough detail to your buyers. I'm glad you don't run a shop, you would be out of business.

You post, cursing like a sailor, as if anyone cares, there's a content filter, no one cares. Yev, clearly isn't the outlier here.

but honestly if no one care's then why make a thread ?.. someone has to care or this thread would have never came to be u kno?

Who said no one cares? I certainly didn't say that. I said no one cares if his motor blew and if he curses like a sailor, that isn't doing anything to anyone here. Obviously people care about receiving items they paid for in the condition that they were described which didn't happen here. So i'm not sure where your post is coming from.

My point was that it was over a week. I accurately reviewed the sale, it was not satisfactory enough for me to buy from u again. End of story.

hey chad would you like to repete exactly what you told kyle about what happend to your 6g engine when you sold him those rods?

i think something happened to his piston not his ron i think im not 100%

umm crush my motor blew because of bad head clearances lol.. no damage to the rods or cylinderwalls whatsoever.

and ecko he bought the mani knowing it was cracked so get ur info straight... what i didnt tell him was there was another hairline crack which i was unaware of. all me and him were aware of was the main crack on the flange.

cool nobody cares if u wanna buy from me again lol.. i didnt have the car in my possession. People will continue to buy from me cause i sell crackhead deals. end of thread. peace.

all the parts i sold hix are reusable. crush is just a baby and whines over everything.. wow u had to take the parts to a machine shop... WHICH YOU SHOULDA DONE EITHER WAY big deal lol.. i woulda thrown those rods right back in my car and pushed 450+ on them no problem.

I feel kinda bad about giving Mike the third degree about it but still I thought even he would have said something. Its just not cool to sell used engine parts from a damaged engine and act as if nothing was wrong with the engine (directed to chad). Most will walk away from any internal components that they know came from a damaged engine regardless of what happend to the engine or component condition.

now weezy when i offered that block to ya didnt i tell you everything i possibly could about it? give you pics? If i remember correctly didnt i offer to have it checked over by a machine shop for cracks? just saying i couldnt live with my self hiding the truth about stuff like that, all yall are my brethren and you just dont lie like that to a brotha.

umm crush my motor blew because of bad head clearances lol.. no damage to the rods or cylinderwalls whatsoever.

not what i was told by mike....hmmm:ponder:

and yes there was damage to the one of the rods, I can prolly have kyle post pics of it if you want....

can we get the ban hammer in here? he has done it before and sounds like he is willing to do it again....or atleast limit his ppc ability?

well i was never told there was "damage" to any of the rods.

lol yes limit my ppc ability. wow 3 bad sales because my car was 3 hours away from me and going through a crisis. I have sold over 30+ items on this website easy.

I told each buyer everything about the item i was TOLD. Eminem i gave u everything u needed ya sure it took a week and a half to get there. Sorry about that, my car was at a shop, a busy shop. A week and a half... really bro? for the deal you got you should have patience.

Funny part is people like Todd can have people still backing him after not sending out items for over half a year.. lol.. man gotta love it. Sorry i didnt see the other crack on the black coated manifold i looked at it and didnt see anything, my mistake.

can we get the ban hammer in here? he has done it before and sounds like he is willing to do it again....or atleast limit his ppc ability?


lol :rofl:

well i was never told there was "damage" to any of the rods.

so your either ignorant or lieing...take your pick

lol :rofl:

atleast you got it:clap:

...like sand through an hourglass... this website has turned into a soapopera

lol yes limit my ppc ability. wow 3 bad sales because my car was 3 hours away from me and going through a crisis. I have sold over 30+ items on this website easy.

and thats who's fault??? if you dont tell peeps whats going on (truthfully i might add) you get this kinda stuff.
all you ever had to say was hey man my bad...ill get it out to ya asap...or hey man idk if anything is wrong with the part but if you want it its yours...or hey if anythings wrong with it holla at me and well see what we can do about it...

dont make me call your mom...lmao

All i'm saying is people wouldn't say all these negative things abut you about their items had they been described correctly and adequately. I'm sure had someone does the same to you, regardless of what you paid them, you would feel a bit upset about it. It's all about being honest and truthful, especially here in the F/I section, where we all seem to know each other, maybe not in depth, no homo, but still we know each other. I just consider it to be the right thing to do, IMO.

oh and hey chad, I want you to take a real long look at this part of the forum...Do you see any bad exp. with me and iv sold quit a few things, crap even some of my old customers have posted here too...lol...not one complaint...do you have any idea of why that is? its not like i didnt run into issues or every day was perfect. Point is if i ran into an issue I talked to the peeps buying from me, some of em i gave day to day updates if they wanted (sometimes didnt even ask em they got it like it or not...lol), and i didnt lie about a thing.
only trying to give you some advice, listen or go cry to mommy

i have nothing to do with the things he sold crush i was just makeing a joke on my first post lol...

couldnt have said it better myself!

i have nothing to do with the things he sold crush i was just makeing a joke on my first post lol...


oh i know...just trying to hint to chad how honesty works...

...like sand through an hourglass... this website has turned into a soapopera

it happens once a year...lol...where you been:P

oh noes we have an internet e-thug on board! lawl do u feel cool?

crush i sold rods that i said were good. now didnt your machine shop also they are good for use? so stfu.

Move on.

the point was you lied about what happend...condition of item...and took forever to ship...maybe your the new todd or kenny.....lol

i thought u were good friends with todd crush?

not good friends...he treated me right but some he screwed over. He wasnt forthcomeing with what was really going on till it was too late. I still feel bad about what happend to christian.

btw it was just luck that the rod that looked like it went through a piston is usable, my guys at the machine shop i use were worried it may not be usable so it got quit a bit of attention. it was checked for streightness and is supposed to be magnafluxed to make sure there are not any small cracks that cant be seen. still waiting on magnaflux but so far so good.

well the pistons and rods came out of the block still together.

we wish u a merry christmass!!! and a happy new yearrrrrrrrr

soflo your the one coming off as a _____. I did have patience, I just expect regular updates, like every company I've ever ordered from does. When i ordered from crush, every time i asked he responded within a day. There were times it was days before you got back to me. This is buyer feedback, its how the system works. And if it was
Ebay, i would have my money back.



Point is SoFlo you need to quit crying about a bad review. All you've done is b____ and whine saying that it was so cheap it doesn't matter.

Next time stand up with at least a legitimate excuse.

Four years I've been here, about 4 bad sales. Your one of them.

what did you buy from me again...lol...I forget...heatshield?

Yeah that was it lol

lol sorry i dont live on the forum. ive ordered parts from companies like greddy and they have terrible customer service and look at them! still going.. even if its barely lol. i let you know when the items shipped out and a tracking number. what else you want?

How about accurate descriptions? I guess that's too much to ask for as well.

um ok so i missed a hairline crack on the runner.... the manifold was cracked at the flange badly.. thats what i knew and what i told. Its a dezod mani.. god forbid it has more than 1 crack LOL!

This is what the reviews are for...

lmao this thread is so EPIC

Hey Yev you want a refund? send the mani back...

there you go chad!...

it woulda been alot easier if my car wasnt 3 hours away. eminem it took u a week to recieve gauges... big ____ing deal.. normal ups is 3-4 days stop crying. and i gave u EVERYTHING my car had to make these work. my head was in the machine shop i told you that and it had the oil unit on it and u said ok. and i never send u a boost gauge so lol? i sent u a boost controller and oil pressure. you people got your items and u got them cheap as ____. my ____ing 6 grand motor blew up stfu, u got ur items. Wow there was a hairline crack i didnt see on the mani? im sorry i dont have perfect eyesight on a BLACK COATED manifold. IT WAS 50 ____ING DOLLARS. and Hix i sent you the items i was TOLD they were in good condition and usable. hell they are usable rods are in perfect condition wow there scratched? lol o noes. k thx.

I was a little busy here in Baghdad and missed few days of this thread. Above is just one of the quotes of your where you come off all wrong.

another quote of your was " Yev knew that mani was cracked" Yes i knew only about a crack or more like a hole on the square connecting part to the turbo( whatever its called ).
I did NOT know about a "hairline" as you called it, almost 2 INCH crack.. last time i checked 2 inch crack is not exactly a hairline crack. 5mm would qualify as hairline, 2 inches doesnt.

You also said"
Hey Yev you want a refund? send the mani back... "
No Chad, i dont need a refund as i HAVE MIG and TIG welding in my uncles shop plus i have 3 welders that are certified and experienced. I can have it welded for FREE. The reason of the thread is not to get my refund, but rather wake you up a little and make you aware that your practices are wrong


And this is my summary of this WHOLE thread:
Dear Chad,
You need to calm down there, its not the point of the cost being $50 or $5000 its about being honest. Don't even try to tell me( or anyone else) there is no pattern on how you do business. Ohh and its very hard to notice anything if you don't look, do why don't you try to open your eyes next time and inspect the item properly. One more thing you should do i stop making excuses, just man up, admit and change your behaviour. I sent you PM about it just letting you know i have never requested anything i just made you aware and what do i get NO REPLY. Then i see other people made statements of you not being honest thats when i saw a pattern and opened this thread.
So why don't stop telling people of how they like to complain and actually stop being such a whimp who doesnt admit to anything yourself ! How come i have ZERO complaints on the parts i sold ? Hint for you: because i describe them 10000% as they are, and there is no other good way to do business !


P.S. I really hope you understand the point of this thread and not just think that everyone is just being an a-hole. I personally have pretty much no problems with anyone on this forums and i'm looking to keep it this way.

Slam.

i give chad props for atleast offering and taking a more appropriate step instead of cursing, acting childish, and not taking responsibility.
