I bought some parts that I needed to convert my car to the turbo/S2 nose from him. He was a knowledgeable and honest person with very reasonable prices.

Had 4 transactions with him in the past month. Minus an AC resistor that had a stock photo and absolutely filthy in person I would recommend him.

Can't wait to install the M090 sway bars I bought from him

Yea he is a good player. I do most my sales on ebay as he does and we have shared some tricks relating to best shipping methods / where to get our shipping materials cheap and how to ship for less as not to burden the buyers.

A guy selling parts is the bottom line and not ripping anyone off. Maybe some unprotected images were used, petty crap. Parts are parts once pulled and cleaned they look the same.

I live a couple of towns over. Bought four wheels from him because it was cheaper without shipping to pick them up. It is a house and the garage is packed with cars being taken apart or already apart.

A house? According to his previous ebay store he showed a picture of a huge dealer with 20 years of existence, now he claims to have received an award from excellence magazine which is another lie.

Its a house in a residential neighborhood where he obviously lives with his parents. Oddly, I never met the guy as he wasn't home. His father took my money and gave me the wheels.

The irony of responding to this link earlier today is overwhelming.

I was taking off the power steering pump today and broke the bracket. Only thing that makes me feel better is it is time for a timing belt change so only a little more work to do this.

Mike had the bracket for $100. This time I met his mom - he was walking the dog.

Good value for a good part.

I work in NYC. Normally you can get the cheap umbrellas for about $3. When it rains they are $5 - $7. Its my choice to buy or get wet.

Personally, I like having what amounts to a parts store for a 25 year old car only 20 minutes away. Since I don't pay for shipping it works out to a decent price.

Makes a lot of sense I would also pay 30-40 dollars more for a local item 20 minutes away, than 40 dollars less and wait 3 days.
