Default *********Warning!!!! SCAMMER ALERT!!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM TurbodCX!!!!!!!!!!**UPDATED****

Does anybody ever read this before they buy? Well, if you do then beware of TurbodCX. He ripped me for $257.50 for a blown, raped, missing bolts, torn geared tranny. It should have been an Si tranny, but it is not. It is missing the oil drain bolt, several bolts that connect the cases together, it has a huge fat bead of RTV silicone around it. He said he took it apart to make sure nothing was wrong with it before he shipped it. Yeah, I bet he made sure for me. Anyways, this guys name is Brian Arbogast and he lives in Winchester Virginia. His email address is Barbogast@wwauto.com. Little does he know I paid with a credit card and will be retracting the charges. It is going to suck to have to deal with the credit card company once again, but this is a nice chunck of money. Thanks for listening.

It was actually a D series Si tranny to replace my bad DX tranny. Now I will have to wait who knows how long to replace it. Thanks TurbodCX. You're a real winner.

Bump for a scammer.

I wonder if he is still sending me the bolts he forgot to send the first time? They are probably bent or something. He could have saved himself some money by just not sending me this giant paperweight. I guess I got a VSS and reverse sensor for my $257.50. Yipppppeeeeeeeee.

Friday after work bump for the low life scammer. Sure wish I had a good Si tranny in my car right now instead of this paperweight sitting in my garage. Thanks TurbodCX, your a real pal. I just worked all week to get a PAYCHECK and I didn't have to rip anybody else off for theres. Ya see, I am a man and don't need to steal like a bitch to afford my lifestyle. You should try being honest sometime and see what it's all about.

I used Paypal with a credit card. I'm in the process of reversing the charges. I hate credit card companies just as much as I hate scammers like TurbodCX. I hope everything works out.

I have no idea what this guy just said, but here's a free bump. Hopefully no one else gets scammed by this guy.
Btw, I have a friend w/a 92 DX tranny that he's looking to get rid of. it came out of my car when I sold him my engine, but he's using an SI tranny instead. I think he only wants like 75 bucks or so for it. No clutch though. Towards the end it grinded a couple times into third, but only when I was power shifting. Let me know if you need it or want it, I'll give you his e-mail.

Hehe, yeah I was planning on doing the same swap to an Si tranny. Since I need a new tranny anyways I might as well upgrade to a closer ratio. Thanks for the offer though. I have had several IM's with offers which makes me feel better about the honest members of this site. It's just a few bad eggs that ruin it for everyone else.

Bump for Brian. BTW when are you going to return my emails and IM's?? I'm still waiting..............

UPDATE: I'm not sure if I pegged the wrong guy now. I found the correct username but it is a different name from what I sent the payment to. It's the same address though. https://honda-tech.com/zero...2543e

TurbodCx is the other name. He is selling other stuff as well.
