From what i've read/herd it wasn't him that stuffed everyone around, in the end it was him that was stuffed around. If people had done what they'd said they would do none of this would be being said! (I know people are busy with work etc but still). He still has helpers to install etc and a place to do it.

After a 200 post thread ( Rolling Eyes

) about this very thing, Ryley expressed some interest in an MTEU I had. Over a 2 month period of regular PM discussion, $300 was the eventual agreed price. I provided my home number (PMed to him on one, possibly 2, separate occasions). The only things he needed were turbo oil feed and drain hoses. He could of course get them himself (just like anyone else would) yet asked me to source them for him. I suggested I could get prices for him but would want an up front payment for those items (I certainly didn't want to be paying for some oil lines I didn't need) but that it might take time (at least a week from memory) as I was pretty busy. At exactly the same time, he starts talking about a 5MGE. This generally reads as "not interested", "easily distracted" and "no idea what I actually want to do". There is one more PM about being "really interested" in the MTEU and some reference about not "wanting to stuff me around" Rolling Eyes

. I didn't bother replying nor did I bother chasing up the oil line prices - my spare time is precious. I figured he'd changed his mind and moved on. The motor remains in the garage and I make a mental note to not deal with kids again. I forgot about it and moved on. Now I see this rubbish Mad

.

The way I see it is like this: If you want the engine, you come and buy it. You don't come on here bad mouthing me 6 months later suggesting I stuffed people around. I didn't sell it to someone else, I didn't change the price (well I did actually - downwards - to help the guy out) nor did I receive any money for goods which subsequently were not delivered. I would suggest that the only person who got stuffed around was me. After significant electronic discussion about how one might do this and a lost sale to someone else (who subsequently went on to buy an MTEU for $1000 from a wrecker - ie a genuine buyer not some fucking tyre kicker - I told this guy I had sold the motor!) to still have this motor sitting in my garage and somehow suggest that I fucked people around is laughable.

Now you can see why I don't waste my time replying unless people have actually made a start.

Its pretty safe to say that the vic section here is a close group bar the "elitists" that are too good to show up to our meets/events.

The tables could be turned. You all rate yourselves as enthusiasts that enjoy modified cars (hopefully of any flavor). Think about it - modified cars all travelling at genuine high speed. Lots of engineering for you to ogle, plenty of fresh ideas, people happy to talk about their (seriously) modified cars. Yet I don't recall seeing any of you at a sprint despite Glenn or myself advertising each one that we would be at. You guys are still sitting in a carpark pulling your puds over the pod filter on the 22R or discussing the latest defect/drift damage/burnout/taxi block in you cretins did. I'm happy to not be part of that scene.

On this occasion, I am happy to be "1334".
