has anyone boughten cams from this guy, because that seems pretty cheap for some civic type r cams that are brand new never used, because i am looking to buy some within the next couple months but i dont want to get ripped off so let me know if anyone has any experience with this guy

 

bump

 

well thats the right pic of the cam end, so if they look like that when you get them, then theyre real.

 

I bought a fake set awhile back. Don't rely on the machined rings to tell you they are the real deal. There is no way you will be able to tell by the pics, with out looking at them in person. Mine had rings but they were not made by Honda. Fakes have a much rougher casting finish, different looking coating on them, and none of the sides of the lobes are machined. As in they are all rough on the side of the lobe compared to a oem cam which has some of the side lobes machined down. Also the boxes labels and plastic wrap is slightly different, off color etc.
Not saying those are fake, for all I know ther're OEM, but just be carefull.

ctr cams for sal 500 miles still new

 

yea i dont want to buy some nd end up with fake ones, and that price seems pretty low to be true for brand new cams

 

were the fake ones you bought off of ebay?

 

i dont really trust that guy. He's "josh" from dh-racing, and you all know how "great they are!

Hm, I was just about to reply an email to him about picking up one of those sets of used ITR cams he mentioned in his auction.
Why is DHRacing not to be trusted? Any threads relating to this, or personal experience? Price seems pretty good on those cams..

 

do a search man. The've been reported to the bbb many many times. They shady business ways were starting to catch up with them so they had to move from lancaster,ca to vegas. They make outrages claims of hp gains and just say "dynos coming soon" and they never do. I bought a "fully built d16z6 motor" from them for almost 2000 and all i got was a stock zc block with a 1/2-assed knife-edged crank. Just be careful.

 

How much are you selling the cams for

 

If you get it off of ebay let me know if its real or not

 

if you have to question if its real or not, i wouldnt buy it.

 

huge-threads about these cams year ago probably a year ago, but they got deleted.

Not only the ones on ebay but also a groupbuy was put together for these cams for about 320ish.

Major point to get across is that @cost for these cams 550ish so how can one sell so many for a "too good to be true" price of 350$ or lower.

THen the arguement became well if there fake but give gains then why not?...

 

those pics were straight jacked from katman at ff-squad.com

 

Maybe this is not the correct thread to reply, but it got a lot to do with it anyway.

A while back (before I read all the threads about "fake sellers" and "Fake type R cams" I also bought a set of CTR cams on ebay.

Then the money was paid, and I was waiting for the cams to arrive.
Since I live in The Netherlands, it will take a long while for the cams to arrive, but after more then a month I got worried and I contacted the person. Till now I still don't got the cams (6 months later) and the guys doesn't reply on my mails etc, and also he isn't selling under his name on Ebay anymore.

So I got screwed by 330 euro's that's about $445 at the moment...
So this is also a warning to you!

Also I want to ask if anybody lives in the neighborhood of Providence Pike, Danielson, CT 06239???
His name is Brian Masson...

He is a big crook.

 

I beleive he bought the deal that they had.. and sold them at his price... 100 itr cams for 250 each and 100 ctr for 300.. this was on a website i was looking at a while back.. thats why he has like a hundred for sale


So i beleive they're legit and his buyer's aern't complaining so its probably the right stuff..

 

hmmm im really considering some ctr cams...that price sounds too good to be true

 

When it sounds too good to be true then that's most probably the case.

 

I ordered a set from this guy on dec. 6 and haven't recieved them yet. I have sent 4 e-mails to him, and got 1 reply back so far. I guess I need to go ahead and just file a claim against him on paypal.

 

Don't test it. Just look through the classifieds here and get yourself a set. I've seen them from $375 and up. You know, I bought a Type R IM, Type R TB, RC 270CC's, and CTR cams w/S2 cam gears for $350 off a guy 3 weeks ago. He needed money fast and I had just the right amount. Keep an eye out and you'll find a deal. STAY AWAY FROM EBAY AT ALL COSTS!
