Tried being civil...will not issue a full refund. It is now in paypal dispute. Please be very weary when dealing with him.

His name is
martin solivan


Thanks

 

did u try contacting him and figure it out?

sorry man, that really sucks

 

Yikes.

 

Yes I have contacted him.

"never did i say that things were 100% percent i said kit was custom, as with custom kits come custom fabrications, i told ur if u want the boost gauge and filter id send u them, the manifold i had welded, if u want ill send u the money for u to have it welded, as well as the downpipe, but i am not going to issue you a refund. like i said u can try disputing it with paypal but let me warn you, you are not going to win, i sent u everything u bought"

here is his very pathetic response....

 

Damn that sucks man

 

just following threw on my promises...

 

damn man, that's low. That sucker didn't mention anything cuz he knew people wouldn't bite. Worst case scenario, get some money from him and fix the mani or buy a used one. Chris (crush) is getting an equal lenght mani soon, ask him if he's going to sell his. The down pipe might be easier to make a new one. Just use the flange from the one u have and get a bung for the O2 sensor. Heck just call dezod and he might be able to get u a good deal for just the down pipe. That's all u need man.

I know this things can be frustrating, but sometimes u just have to learn from it and deal with the cards u have in ur hands.

 

justin i told u i am more than willing to give u the money to have those welds cleaned up

 

quick question, i know the welds are ugly however, is this a dangerous set-up?

 

of course not, its just like a normal setup hes just complaining because it doesnt look good

 

I am not getting in this with you. Its as simple as that. I tried to be civil, I do not want a partial refund. As you can see, many others are disgusted as well. You should have mentioned these patches and taken pics. You have not had them on your car with the patches, how do you know they won't do damage or fail? You don't. Just refund me and its over....

 

I'm not a person to say much but, u should of said something. That's not right man, I can see ur trying to fix it now but, U could of saved this guy the headache, time and money.

 

how can a weld job do damage if u knew anything about cars u would know those welds woulndt do damage

 

i told him id send 120 to fix the welds

 

still doesn't hide the fact that u cover it up.

 

didnt try to cover it up i never said hey look brand new perfect mani and downpipe...dude bought a kit for 650...and i spent like 1800 on it he got his moneys worth which he claimed to paypal he didnt get his moneys worth

 

still seems like a sneaky move to me. Why wouldn't you mention it in the FS thread? There is no reason other than that you didn't want people to see the nasty welds

 

i paid 90 dollars for those "nasty welds"

 

OP I hope u get this resolved, the proof is in the pics. This kid is in denial and is making excuses to justify his wrong doing.
Good Luck

 

is that a hole in the DP? damn that is pretty shady he didnt post anything like that up on the FS thread, i had a feeling it was very sneaky and shady when he had jus installed the kit and immediatly tried getting rid of it idk
