Message:
The guy that was selling the timming advance kits was suspended by ebay. I bid and cancelled on almost all his items for sale. Leaving behind my reason of: This is a scam, 50-cent part from radio shack, doesn't work.

ebay sent this to me:

Please be advised that the following auction:

1824158535 - TIMING ADVANCE KIT 20HP GAIN
was ended early by eBay. The auction was ended due to the account suspension of
the seller.
All results for this auction are null and void.


Teach that butthole to find a real job.

Dude, what was the scam? What was he trying to sell to people? I also saw that but I figured the timing thing making 20-hp was crap. Plus I saw it on Dak, Mustang, and chrysler concorde searches. Glad you beat the sucker though. Have a nice weekend all.

speedtweaks.net even had a right up on this scam. I can't believe the guy tried it again, it must have cost him a small fortune to list 500 items.

The guy just keeps doing it over and over... I think this was the 6th account he started with a new yahoo e-mail account and then spammed 500-2000 $.50 ripoff items. His first account actually sold quite a few of the items, I'm sure he made a pretty decent cash pile before they pulled the plug.

Bernd-

Why don't you sell some stuff on ebay? Seems like a person with your reputation could make a ton of money selling the real IAT to all those people that want one.

He had one for every brand of car made in the past few years. Some people were paying $30-40 for the 50-cent part. He also had EGR block off 1-5HP gain, and coolant bypass valve 1-3hp gain.

Private auction - bidders email addresses were not shown

He had no history of transactions

yet there must of have been 50 people bidding on this stuff.

"Hey, you a$$hole, I was really looking forward to getting some more HP, but you just have to go and ruin it for everyone!"

Those people are just going to go buy some other POS from some other fly-by-night bastard.

I'm sorry!

Please send me $45 and I'll get you that special resistor, and throw in a few coolant bypass valves. That should lower your 1/4 times 1.6 seconds.
