Adrian_gt - When are you going to answer

[DALAZ_68]

as some of u might know, iv been in need of a tranny for a while now... i saw Adrian_gt thread on the FS section...

i met up with him on monday to pick up the trany and pay him for it, at the time im thinking great price for tranny my fucken savior...

the next day i take my car and said trany to be installed...

3 hours later... we start the car... only to hear one of the loudest trannies ive ever herd...

it had plenty of new fluid we dropped in...no leaks anywhere...still wondering...thinking it may just need to lube up for asec

so we leave the car on for about 5 mins...

and thats when u hear the worst of it...the trannies first 2 gears sound like there about to snap...just ear killing disgusting sound...

so i decide well i cant use this...

call up adrian...

it went like this

Me: aye Adrian man sup...its steve i picked up the tranny from u the other day
Adrian_gt: ohh yea wuts up man?
me:: aye bro...the tranny its no good...like first and second sound like shit like i cant even feel confident itll get me home
Adrian_gt: really....hmmmwelll i really didnt knoe the condition of the tranny
Me: welll i was wondering if i could take it to u thrusday and get my money back, cuz i just cant use i man
Adrian: aye im a lil busy rite now, let me call u back when i get a chance later tonie
Me: aite man thanks


thats the only he's picked up his phone to my number...ive left a txt and voicemail and about 3 phone call...no responses to either...

i might be over reacting to soon but its kinda annoying....specially when ur broke and need every dollar u have to get ur car running, not even tuned, just running properly, and somehting like this happens...
thats a 100 i couldve used for a new tranny mount that i need badly
though some would argue ''u got a tranny for 100 bucks, dude thats a steal'', thats not the point i need shit to actually work...


im not at the point of being totally pissed, just annoyed a call or txt anything would be better than straight silence...

[FaLKoN240]

Dude, if you picked it up from his house, go over there?

[Jung918]

It is always a gamble buying used parts. However, if he said it was in good condition then you should get your money back. Talk to phlip as I think he is the mod to go to for disputes.

He has been online, I will send him a private message drawing his attention to this thread, I am requesting a red receipt on it, so I will KNOW that he got it..
As has been mentioned, this was an in-person deal, you might wanna try dropping by his demonstration and getting your money back.
If he does not respond to me, or you (but NOT in this thread, that would be against the rules of this section), I'll go carry it from there.
Dalaz, if he contacts you, please update this thread with a new post with the resolution, should you so happen to reach one

[DALAZ_68]

240FaLKoN: i picked it up from his work place...i dont want to cause unnecessary drama though...but i feel i have too :ugh:

Jung918 : yeah he told me it should be fine and seeing where he worked (a shop full of 240's with swaps) i didnt feel a need to think otherwise of it being bad...ive bought things off of memebers here and they were shipped, and they all worked fine, i dont wanna feel negative towards Zilvia.net in anyway since 50% of my swap parts came from this site alone, then again the sayin is ''one rotten apple ruins the bunch''
:werd:

PHLIP: like i said i dont wanna cause drama there since
A. its his work place
B. if i get upset ill be out numbered and might do something ill regret
C. he might actually be in a pickle in which case he cant return my calls and or txt

im the kind on person who tries to look for the good in people...and thats what im tryin to do now...but ill keep tryin...if he doesnt return a call/txt/email by tonite ill have to head over to his work place either tomorrow or saturday, cuz simply enough im broke and i need my money back to pay my friend who did pulled the tranny, hes being kind enough to wait and be patient...

but yes i will up date any responses ( if any that its) that he might send, i sent him a message today aswell, hoping he responds to it...

[DALAZ_68]

i woke up today at 1:30 p.m.( hard night :coolugh:)
and this was sent to me at 10:01 this morning

Adrian_gt : I might have found you a replacement

my reply 1:48: i already got one tranny put it...military friend is heading over seas and not using it so already got it installed

and yes u can tell the difference between the 2 trannies, Adrians has his name rite on the bell housing...

just keeping it updated...nothing else so far since that last contact

[DALAZ_68]

still no replies...

i did send him a txt today letting him know to contact me...im willing to take parts for compensation if he has anythign i can use...im a patient person but its getting ridiculous...

[GSXRJJordan]

Dalaz props to you for being patient and going through proper channels ~ it's refreshing to see something like this, instead of "so I went to trash this guy's garage, then the cops showed up, now I just got home from jail"/etc.

Karma is real. You're doing the right thing. He'll make it right, or he'll get his.

[DALAZ_68]

im not a violent person never have been

last thing i invoke is violence

this is a simple fix of it didnt work...money back...
or this didnt work u dont have cash... gimme somehting of equal value that i can use


worst comes to worst im posting his cell # and the shop[ he works at just so everyone knows where this guy is...because if hes like this in his private life... he might be just as shady in business:-/ and if i can help anyone else avoid this situation im more than glad too


update: gave him a call bout 2 hours ago...once again voicemail... no answer

[DALAZ_68]

got txt just a few seconds ago

he stated i can drop off the tranny tomorrow


hope fully everything gets resolved tomorrow and i leave this situation with a positive note :goyou:

[azndoc]

Good luck.

I hope that your able to get your money back.

[DALAZ_68]

yup me too...aslong as everything is set rite..ill be chill

[Phlip]

I got a PM from him saying that he had gotten in contact with you, what is the resolution?

[DALAZ_68]

ima wait till monday cuz thats when he has the full 100
he told me he only had 60 today

and i asked him if he could give me anything worth 40 parts and i sent him a list of what i needed but i didnt get a response after that


so ima wait tilll monday

[DALAZ_68]

tranny is being sold for equal profit to another member here ( xpertsnowcarver (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=54493) ) for parts...

issue closed as far as i see it...still wouldnt do business with homie here seeing as he did keep me in the dark for a week and still hasnt responded to me since yesterday

effort to make things right were hella weak IMPO


P.S. buyer knows condition of tranny hence using it for parts...and i will ask him to post in here to confirm wut ive said

[xpertsnowcarver]

hey guys. ill for sure be taking the tranny of his hands. ill give him his 100 for the tranny and of course to help him get his dinero back. besides, if i bought a brand spanking new bell housing, it would cost over 3 bills for just the housing... so ill just be parting it out. ill check to see how the synchros, sliders, and wat not are doing later next week. this'll be a good opportunity for me to learn how this tranny is put together, the fsm only shows so much. if i figure out wat was wrong wit it thought ill post, wit pics too.
see u soon steve. and thanks.

[DALAZ_68]

see joo and ur car at formula DEEEEE mañana :bigok:

as far as i see it case closed

[Phlip]

Good to see that things will work out for the best, and thank you for keeping this updated.

[DALAZ_68]

always happy to ablige


please let know original seller the finalee of this stor E :hsdance:

[xpertsnowcarver]

no prob. too bad i wasn't able to meet ya in person. thanks for letting my friend pick it up.

i cracked her open already, but having trouble sliding off the bell housing. its okay thou, i didn't really try cus it started raining... so i gave up on the hope of having the car ready tonight. my friend also ditched me, so i don't have a helper to speed things up... so.. gonna have to hitch a ride >_< but its cool, persuaded my gf to go, she'll take me :)

oh btw, i noticed the middle of the 3 button looking things (where 2 of them look like flathead screws). the middle button was pushed in. its supposed to be flush, last i remember. also, took out a couple sensors and the reverse blah blah spring thing and all i see is a layer of silver oil on everything... (hey steve, i know the wires are chew up good but u don't want to keep the sensors?? )once i get the bell housing off, ill be able to see the two front gears. oh well.... calling it a night. thanks steve. much appreciated.

[DALAZ_68]

nah i still have the sensors on my tranny so its kew

aslong as everything works out...id go help yah out but im driving my grandma around ....:2f2f:

[xpertsnowcarver]

haha, its totally cool man. i am having a bit a trouble puller her apart, but no sweat. will go round 2 on monday.

gonna inquire at the tranny shop i went to about custom fitting the ka bellhousing onto the 6spd i have hear, and leave this 5spd for my sr (since it already has the sr housing and its stronger for it) :) depends how much... the thought of a ka 6spd sounds real cool ^_^

[DALAZ_68]

tripy

man u do that i gots to see it :bigok:

[xpertsnowcarver]

eh... like another member said on a different forum... fabricatiing the housing to fit is a lot of work or too much money. i put them side by side. i already knew that the 6 speed is made in 3 shells (so to speak), and the prior 5 speeds are made in 2 shells. i imagine it wouldn't be too hard, but the more i look at it, the more difficult i figure the fabrication would be.. id say it would be easier if one were to fabricate an entirely new custom housing from scratch. so, ill stick with the 5 speed i have to begin with. now im starting to consider getting the OS Giken 3-speed close gear ratio kit.. 1300 is steep.. searching like crazy to see if i find it cheaper anywhere else.
