I wanted to let you all know what happened to me so you don't do the same.
I bought a header, a cold air intake that was supposed to go straight into the tire well, and a strut bar from a guy on ebay claiming to have all kinds of parts for ST Celicas. Just recently found out that this guy is a member of this site. His member name is celicapres. I recieved the header and the CAI. The Cai was missing parts and if that weren't enough the parts sent were just straight up wrong - according to his own directions. the strut bar never came even though countless emails were sent. i even had a few IM sessions with him on AOLIM. He has since changed his user name or no longer is on line. His "company" was called Celica Performance. I have yet to install the header which i am sure robably goes to a Honda.  ah well ya lose some N8 |

I think he's the same one who took all of the how-to's off the site and sold them on ebay. You may want to try and talk to coomer because I think he has all of his personal information.

if this "celicapres" has posted atleast once here on 6gc.net, then coomer has his IP.
track it and find out where he's located. simple as 1 . 2 . 3 |

That sucks man!
 Sorry to hear that, I remember reading all his posts about selling items for our cars. Ya know, did you pay through paypal? You might be able to claim a loss or something. Since you didn't receive the product? Check into that if you paid through paypal and it's been 30 days since payment or something? |

Yeah man, legal action is where its at now. We can't have people like that on this site and celica.net taking advantage of the honest and few celica lovers out there..

Yup. And hes the same guy that stole pictures off my website to use in his ebay ads. I've talked to him on IM and I know people that know him personally. He goes to school at Kansas State University (I'm sorry to say), where I went. Hes a marketing major. How ironic is that? Anyway, I don't have any more contact info for him than has already been posted. The 'business' is based in arizona from what I've heard. I don't think he really had all that big of a part in it, other than putting out some info. |

Yeah I gave him the benifit of the doubt for 30 days cause i was still in contact w/ him and he kept saying it was coming. After that when I reported him to Paypal, 30 days was too long for them to do anything. Thanks guys for the replies. I know that he has posted as recently as last month and i just emailed him again. I am pretty sure that he is getting them. I am just going to do what I can make sure that this "Marketing Genius" doesn't make it far with his degree. Its bad business he's got. thanks again. N8 |

Why is the "s" on the end of "header" so evil. Just leave it be, is one letter really all that bad? Why does the letter "s" always get a bad rap? I uh.. don't know where I'm going with this... Yeah, not a good situation with celicapres. He was also trying to do a hood group buy that seem extremely sketchy to me. More along the lines of complete bull ****. |
