I will never ever ever buy from anyone on facebook sight unseen. I have heard countless horror stories of the folks on there. Especially for such an expensive item with so many pieces, I would have to see it in person. But I understand, sometimes you gotta pull the trigger. I really hope you get your money back. That kit is a disgrace
I have a paypal claim currently open. I put that I was willing to take a partial refund of "$1,675" so basically, I would be paying $1000 for the kit. The blower, while scratched on the outside, still spins well, and the aftercooler looks good as well. There's some other small things like the fuel management unit and mounting brackets that I could still use. I figure those together should be worth over $1,000.
paypal wants me to take the kit to a shop to get an estimate of how much it would cost to fix/replace the stuff. Waste of my time I should have just asked for a full refund and shipped it back, but oh well. I'm also interested to see how much it would cost to fix as well so I'll do it.

You sir, have much more patience than I! lol. I really hope it work out for you. Especially in the states, this is becoming more and more common which is just so, so sad to me. Wish we could be moving forward, but in reality we're just breeding idiots like rabbits and that doesn't seem to alarm anyone to the point where we want to do anything (of significance) about it

That is ridiculous...the kit looks like it just got pulled out from a junkyard. That is false advertisement as well, not even close to what was described in words / pictures.
it's that kind of people that ruin the S2000 community. I wish you luck on the Paypal claim.

good news guys, after 2 grueling months, I have finally received word from PayPal that I have won my claim. I will receive a full refund, but will lose about $50-$100 in shipping it back. at least the nightmare will be over. Time to look for another kit.
