Story: I purchased a used Hondata S200 from a member on here(hatchback91joey), which was arranged via PM on 9-12-2009. He found out my interest in said unit via the thread I started below. He never actually posted in the thread; he only communicated with me by PM, then eventually via telephone.

Now, at this point in time, I was building an all-motor EF. I needed the Hondata to have the car tuned on DSM injectors for the high compression pistons I was running(obviously). He(Joey/hatchback91joey) contacted me to tell me that he was located in King George, and worked at a restaurant called Tru Luv's downtown, and was available to meet me anytime. As a result purely of the convenience(I live downtown), something was quickly set up, and I met with him to make the exchange.

I met up with him with relatively little trouble, and all seemed well. I didn't know much(if anything, really) about the s200 unit, other than it was a "plug-in blue box, with resistors and some other stuff", as my friend described it to me. So, I met up with him, and he gave me solely a little blue box: no resistors, no cable, no hardware, no nothing. HE ASSURED ME THAT THIS WOULD BE ALL I NEEDED, AND I TRUSTED HIM. Obviously, my putting any faith in humanity(or at least this individual), was a mistake. I gave him $200.00 He then proceeded to tell me that if I had any problems, to call him and he would be happy to give me my money back, although it was going to be hard if I needed it back in the next week or two, as he and his girlfriend would be travelling to god-knows-where to appear on Jerry Springer(win!).

NOW, THREE MOTHERFUCKING MONTHS, COUNTLESS PHONE CALLS, COUNTLESS TEXTS, AND COUNTLESS EXCUSES LATER, IM FED UP. I WANT MY FUCKING MONEY BACK JOEY.

First Jerry Springer, then you were in the hospital, then a family emergency....I understand that life is full of shit you can't predict, but still, you fucked up and sold me shit. You sheisted me. I even took the car to Brauning Motorsports, where Habid USED HIS OWN PARTS to install the s200 in my ECU, and it STILL didn't work. Your response? "I dunno man, it worked it my buddy's car.' Bullshit. This ain't my first time around the block kid, and I want my fucking money back.

I wouldnt recommend my worst enemy to this kid, to buy shit. Don't do business with him if you can help it. Now I'm out $200.00, and there really isn't shit I can do to recover my losses at this point.

/rant.

 

shut up or nut up.... go beat that mofo's ass. lol.

 

sounds like you should have known what you were looking at when you spent 200 bucks.

 

 

go to his job and get your money back..

 

I lost @ the hand walker.

 

If only I knew where he lived...rumor has it he lost his job, but I'll be finding out for sure tonight.

Yeah, the price of being a Honda n00b. I've learned, however; just at a shitty price.

I will find out tonight for sure if this kid still works there; if they're open.

 

 

lol +rep.

God damn laws and regulations and goverments and law enforcement....they take all the fun out of living.

 

no bawls, no bawls, no bawls. lol.
