Damn, didn't know they were that expensive. It's highway robbery. Arp bolts for other makes with the exact same material can be had for a fraction of that.

Don't think ARP offers head bolts for 996 but their head studs are $1k+ MSRP LoL

Basically chump change around here.

If anyone's interested in escrow, I'll hold the cash for as long as I deem necessary. Let's make it $10K and I'll keep a marginal 'good faith' fee. How's 10% sound?

I'm easy to find to collect. I trust that you're good not to welch on a $100 bet. It might be a couple of years before we know the outcome. And just to be clear, the bet is that OP never collects 10 cents or more from his proceedings against KK regarding this incident. Let me know if that works for you.
i'm in - you have my word that whenever we find out the outcome, i'd bet $100 that the buyer doesn't recover a dime from court proceedings. you have my word and i'm fairly easy to track down.

any chance we can get banned for internet gambling?

I'd be willing to bet that a "nice dinner" is gonna run you more than $100

I bet you $100 the KK will not show his face up on Rennlist ever again. If he does, it will be under an different alias.

I'm tempted to take that bet. I'm shocked we haven't heard from him since this blew up in his face, but the guy is like a cockroach with almost no shame when it comes to his trolling.

Wouldn't surprise me if he not already back in the Rennlist trenches watchin' our every move. Laughin' his butt off.

I have noticed the last time he was active on RL was 4/29/16. You can still get on here though and be invisible. Also noticed his avatar is gone....the one that said "UNFAIR" with TX plates. Anybody know how to look up people by their plates? I for one would love to give him a call outta the blue.

Easy to find out, just have our Moderator Marc look up any duplicate IP's based on his original username and see if any other usernames match it.

He has verified a couple suspicious characters for me in the past.

I'd be stunned to see him here again (unless disguised under an alias). I was always OK with his trolling. Lots of times he did it for sport, and many took the bait. Their fault, not his.
