DAmn, he lives in Statesboro which is about 3 hrs from Atlanta. I spoke to him via phone once about a year ago when he needed help with his Hondata and came up to Atlanta for tuning. If he was a little closer I could have help you.

shipping cost me $47 for standard 7 day UPS .. the kit weighs 28lbs. thats why... so technically i'd be out about $100 just for shippng costs back and forth. SUKS! that foo wants me to send'm money to ship back to me the kit, but what if he runs with the $50 bucks also? thats the thing! dayum bastard eat sh*T and dIE!

i know this guy personally. I used to live like 5 mins from him until I moved. I live about 45 mins away now. I bought a greddy egt guage, and an autometer electric oil pressure guage. He isnt the type of person to scam anyone. I'll call him and ask about it now.

OK people....of course there are 2 sides to every story.

First let me state that I have been a member of honda-tech for 800+ days. I have also done many many transactions with people on the boards. So this is how the story goes...

Alfee IM'd me wanting to trade his complete NOS wet kit for my profec B. So of course I jump on this deal. I tell this guy that I am not going to ship out to him first because he is just a trial member and has not established a reputation on the boards yet. Well I have a very good rep and I do not scam people. I even told him to ask around on the board for vouches. So I worked out this deal with him.
He ship out the kit UPS ground first and provide me a tracking #, then I was going to eat the high shipping cost and ship the profec B to him NEXT DAY AIR.

Well the kit comes in and is missing quite a few parts that he specifically said were included. These missing parts include (SS braided line to run from bottle to front of the car, the push buttons, kill switch, and some minor hardware)

Who is trying to scam who here? Where are my missing parts? I almost went ahead and shipped out the profec b to this guy before the NOS kit arrived. I didnt because he was a new member and I just felt safer to ship it out next day air to be sure everything went smooth. Let me tell you I'm glad I didnt. What the hell am I going to do with a nos kit with half the parts?

So I told the guy send me the rest of the parts or send me some $ to ship back his stuff. Plain and simple. I'm not being unreasonable here. If he had of shipped everything then there wouldnt be this problem.

Alfee you are the scammer. You are a newbie and you come to the boards making posts about me. I really don't appreciate you bashing me with open threads.

This has been a big waste of time. You are now encouraging people to come to my house to pick up this kit???? WTF man? You think someone is going to risk their life for a nitrous bottle and 2 solonoids? Dude grow up. I gave you your options. You brought this on yourself.

No i believe alfee more, if shadow wasnt scamming him, than why would he be ignoring alfee emails and IM's??? and plus i have seen alfee kit, it is a complete kit, why would a person have a nitrous kit without some parts??? alfee is a legit guy, i know him personally. Shadow just send him his stuff back, life will be easier.

why don't you two just split the cost of shipping the naaws back? i mean there has obviously been a misunderstanding between the 2 of you. i don't know who is lying and who is not,but if this is how you guys do business; i wont buy from you or recommend that anyone else deal with you 2 again in the future.
