If it's brand new, then it has never been installed. Therefore, how do we know if it works well, without blowing up the engine. Assuming this is legit though.

Definite scam possibilities.

I also like how it fits different engines, but the headers don't have the same pattern for the head bolts as our cars (98-02) Accord.

Yeah, even I can tell those pics are photochopped. The lighting on them is different. And my 8 year old bro spells better than that, on the computer.

Holy $hit, i think this is the same @$$h01e that screwed me over for $1700 for some JL subs and amps. I am going to contact Miami PD next week after finals. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could find out this guys name, address, and/or phone number. u notice how he always has a few numbers after his id i notice a pattern. I hate ppl like this that screw others that actually work their ass off to make a dollar

Hey is this guys name supposedly Raul and is his number 786-357-6793. spoke to this guy on the phone bout twin turbo for accord. he is willing to sellit to me for $900 shipped. but get this he is willing to take $400 now ship the product and then he will trust that i will send the rest of the money. I said I could come pick it up he said that it would be fine as long as i pick it up Sat cuz Sun he is leaving for Amsterdam. If he really has this kit I am willing to pay someone $100 to go and confirm that he really has this turbo kit and it is legit. He lives in FL. I will only pay that if he really has the kit.

And take the risk of getting shot and my CL stolen? No way! He's probably going to talk to his drug lord buddies in Amsterdam

His twin turbo kit looks like its "floating in air" in the pics (obvious photoshop). He also can't even specify a year since there are about 3 different Accord V6 engines from 1996-2004. The finishing touch for me is he spells phone with an "F".

Soooooooo obviously a scam. Someone should report this guy before someone actually falls for this crap.

Why would you even consider something like this if you think the guy already ripped you off once already?

Find out where he is located, also his name is diferent but address is only a few houses down (same street)???? Anywayz I filed a claim/complaint with the FBI and since it is over the internet this is a federal felony is what i was told by local officers and miami officers. Dont know how long this will take but the guy that ripped me off is going to be in a lot of trouble.

Raul also posts this was dome at Speeddemon Performance in FL, but there is no business operating by that name. By the way I emailed him asking if he could fil me in on how to do such a crappy photo editing job. Still waiting for a reply

i was buying some rims about a year ago, and for some odd reason the guy couldnt spell either.
he also made a hell of alot of excuses and ended up telling me he was in some foreign country.
then he screwed it up after i took a couple days to respond by telling me a lower price. then he all of a sudden got really stupid by taking my offers and lowering the price on them! i would tell him for example i will pay 750, and he would respond and say something like 500 if you pay now.
no reason to get worked up over this guy, he is just another crappy scammer. the best you can do is mess with him on your free time, thats what i did! just keep telling him you are sending the money, then you sent it, it should be there any day now, i checked the tracking on the envelope, its really close, etc...
BTW, this guy who i was dealing with had over 2000 feedback 99% positive too!
