Looks like more than 600 miles on the manifold/DP.

I wouldn't bid on it just because the person selling the item has a zero feedback rating. just my .02 cents.

What are you guys talking about? The auction has/had NO reserve, and you cannot tell that the manifold/dp has more than 600 miles on it for sure. I just put on a brand new Maxrev manifold, and less than 100 miles later it looked old!!!

when im in doubt,i email the person from a bogus name,tell them i live in the same area and want to know if i can come pick it up instead of them shipping,if they blow me off then i stay away,if they say "yeah,no problem" then i think they are legit.

it has two days left to go. You'll watch the price jump up dramatically near the end of the auction. You don't want to drive the price up now and then it gets too high.

It will end at around $1600-2000 dollars. Most likely

I emailed the guy and he seemed ok so I bid. But then I got this e-mail:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I just wanted to let you know to watch for this person. He just listed this two weeks ago and I won. He wanted me to western union money to Spain. When I said I wasn't comfortable he wouldn't repond to any of my e-mails and now it is back up for auction. He is very shady!!! Thanks!!</TD></TR></TABLE>

So I'm not bidding on it anymore.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 631 Teggy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">sketchy...</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yup, and I just got two emails saying this:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Hello
i am verry serios i have a DRAG Turbo Kit for Acura GS
in a resonable price if you ar
inersted reply me asap.The price is 800$us
REPLY MY ASAP</TD></TR></TABLE>

To which I responded: Where are you located?
He sent this back:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">HELLO SIR
I'M FROM SPAIN
REPLY MY ASAP</TD></TR></TABLE>

Screw that, if I'm gonna get scammed I'd rather get scammed by someone in the US
