RE: used parts?

RE: used parts?

RE: used parts?
reminds me of this kid i want to school with had an 84 camaro with a 88 iroc motor and trans and a non posi rear he thought it was fast as **** always saying it was gonna twin turbo it with 15psi on the stock internals and i was just like yea and the trans was ****ed up and it shift so hard and he always tried to tell me it was a performance trans hah
my favorite defining moment was i was riding with him from votech to school and he almost crashed cuz that ****ty 305 with tpi setup had to much power for him and he turns to me and goes if it was a posi i could handle it better

RE: used parts?
Oh ok well i guess im an assclown because i had a close friend who works at a machine shop look at the cam adder sold me and told me he wouldnt put that in any car because the whole end was grounded down and has a bunch of hand engraved numbers in it. And i called steeda and said they stamp all there cams. So sorry for taking a companys word and close friend over a randomguy on the internet whos already known to be a jerk.How about also adding that i dont believe for a second he didnt get it back which im sure he did and is just screwing me i sent it right back where it came from and then tells me it should of went to another address weeks later.SoKeith enjoy my money i should of known better than to buy a part from a guy like yourself so your right i am an assclown for that. Good luck to anyone else who decides to buy anything from him.
Originally i was not going to say anything, because it was just a matter between me and you, but if your going to just call me names like a lil kid to everyone on here and not say anything directly too methen i can give you the chance if youd like, because i will be in the boston area next month.

second. I bought the cam directly from steeda, never used it, never machined it, never did anything to it. I literally pulled it out of the box, greased it up, and slid it into my 302... where it sat for months.
third. had your friend at the machine shop done what I had said, you would have seen that the cam was exactly what I told you it was. All you had to do was use a degree wheel, and a dial indicator, and you would have seen that the specs on the cam are spot on. hell, you could have even measured the end of it versus another cam and seen it wasnt machined down at all.
fourth. ofcourse the end of the cam WOULD look machined.... how in the hell do you think the cam maker smoothes down the end of the cam, assuring it will fit into the engine.
last. its not MY fault that you didnt return the cam to MY address, and now i cant find the cam. All you had to do was use the shipping address off my paypal account and everything would have been fine.
