Good lookin' out man!

You think he knows about it and just wants to rip someone off? Or do you think he is just misinformed?

I think he is just misinformed but the fact that he did not write me back raises an eyebrow for sure. Either way someone is going to be angry.

I emailed him about this a couple days ago asking if it was from a soarer or mkIII and haven't received a reply either.

Good looking out xspsi6

I have a W58- and that shifter looks a lot different than mine. :uh:

xspsi6 Oct 2, 2007 05:07 PM

It is definitely a w58 but from what I don't know it uses a push type clutch and the bellhousing is of the 2jzge flavor so it looks like it is from an sc or supra.

haha, i was looking at that tranny and trying to figure out what the hell it was. i also emailed him, twice, and finally got a reply. he told me it was from a soarer...... ive seen a bunch of pictures of both supra and soarer R154 and it definatley looked funny.

good lookin out. :thumbup:

xspsi6 Oct 4, 2007 05:13 PM

update.... He replied to me and said that it is a soarer trans but he loaded in the wrong pics sooo I dunno what to think.

Bean Oct 4, 2007 07:59 PM

lol tell him to load the right pics

thats definitely no R154. The pull-style R154 has inspection covers on the bottom of the bellhousing on either side, just like the V160

greyBLITZ Oct 4, 2007 08:06 PM

Ladies and gentlemen...that is a scam. I'm using reasonable judgment and in my opinion anyway. For some obvious reasons: Takes forever to reply, and says "wrong pics", thats an easy excuse! The pics have not been changed either. Maybe you can ask him to put up the right pics and that'll tell us exactly if he's a scammer or not.

Also, check out the people who have bidded on that tranny, their names are all asteriks'ed out.

From the sounds of it, he was pretty quick to say it was from a soarer and didn't put up much of a fight. Did he explain why it is from a soarer?

And checking the seller's previous feedback, it sounds like they sell clothes, I wouldn't trust that!

Maybe it is just me and I'm overcautious, but I believe you guys, so I certainly wouldn't get that one. Better safe than sorry right?

xspsi6 Oct 4, 2007 08:35 PM

Yeah I sent him a pic of my soarer trans with my name on it and I asked him to send me some pics of the right trans and have yet to get a reply, I am not going to bid on this but I just wanted to warn everyone at club lexus.

Once you log in yourself, the asteriks will go away. You only see asteriks if you are not logged in.

I once found someone trying to sell an SR20det engine out of a bluebird SSS from Japan. The pic he had was of a 1.8 engine. I emailed the guy and he replied immediately acknowledging the mistake. This guy however, doesn't appear to be a full time scammer, he's got 113 feedbacks. He's probably trying to play stupid and rip someone off for this time.

I think someone should sabotage his auction by bidding like 3K on the tranny and then tell him to jack off just because he falsely advertise something.
my .02 cents

Mmmm sabotage!
