HARD TIMES

[MANDALAY]

The gauge is the best one !
He takes one cluster from a Beams MR2. He then takes out the speedo gauge. Puts in a new gauge . Then offers the old gauge for $170 USD while all the time knowing he bought the new one for only $170 USD not bad But THEN OFFERS the cluster for $1235 . Hell hold on a second BARGAIN those prices have come down also !........... He descibes the cluster as
The 260km Speed Meter is BRAND NEW with 0 miles on it, The rest of the cluster are used but in Super Low miles originally.

!!! Rarest of the Rarest !!!
SUPER RARE, You won't find another one anywhere else.

He is officially SUPER RARE .

PS LAST time i saw Japanese cars had Miles on their gauges, I have that gauge b/c im in Australia and we are kms

But the cake now goes to the MR2 BEAMS clip he has $5499 wow. If you read that doent include the cluster . Obviously he will give you a discount on that NOT !
So this is what your up to
$5499 clip
$1235 gauge
$1500 shipping ( " His special friends mate rates " )
$1500 your side customs . transport etc At least
total
$9734 USD
Then you need to add other parts NEW water pump, oil pump, flywheel machining,clutch
belts. Pulleys will be full of rust. Hey may as well check the tappets ete, etc
**** may as well buy a new engine from Toyota at that price.
Shame Toyota only has short blocks but they are only $2200 USD AND believe me you can still get all the other parts

Well done "SUPER RARE" KEITH THE RAREST OF RAREST
But l hear you say YOU WANT MORE you get a 15 day warranty !!!how generous

for that kinda money I would do it out of carbon fibre, with a layer of kevlar and/or carbon-kevlar weave for some extra flex & durability

OMG The trunk mat has gone down no only $709

[Lion_HUN]

The best is that he sells the red cover for $205 while it's "only" $137.42 from toyota... (according to EPC)

I had a little go around with him on the other board while promoting my beams harness service.

He said that I could only get a beams ecu from Japan for $2500+, and that I couldn't possibly use an AT ecu with a manual tranny and that it would cause all sorts of problems if I tried.

Recently Servin bought a Caldina AT ecu for under $200, and it was proven to run with no check engine light and no issue whatsoever. Guess he didn't like the idea of people potentially doing this swap for less than $2000.

Needless to say, I will never do business with the guy, and recommend people avoid him at all cost.

gayest thing ever, I have done that to so many AT ECU's over here now...5&3SFE ECU's in mr2/camry/celica/RAV4, just hit NSW & PSW to ground and everything *should* be sexy

He makes people believe that ALL the things he sells are SUPER RARE and not available. Which is not the case. Granted he does have/had a few items that were rare but then again he sells second hand parts at rediculous prices with some of them dearer than brand new.
He is preying on the guys who dont have access to STOCK OEM JDM parts.
Personally the more people realise that parts can be swapped or bought cheaper the quicker he starts to sell at reasonable prices.
I for one have a thorn up my backside with him. i hate myself for mot discovering this forum before l was taken for a song. I hate to see anyone be taken. Man im going to follow that MR2 DEAMS clip with a passion and see if it moves,
BTW i had a mate offer him $4299 and he wouldnt budge.

You don't even have to do that. I plugged the AT ecu to my MT harness as-is. Ran like normal and I didn't have to do a thing.

I'm a believer that you should be able to charge whatever you want to for goods and services. I wouldn't otherwise say anything about the guy, but he seems to take exception with what I do, so I'm going to take exception with what he does. Especially the spreading of misinformation for the sole purpose of maintaining his super high markup on these clips. I know he doesn't pay $1500 for these things.

Just an update
WOW the mat has come down to $659 what a steal, but then again put the conversion $ into the figure and its gone up.
I think "SUPER RARE KEITH" has outdone himself.
His new price for the TRD steering wheel has jumped to $2,999 !!!!!!!!!
Think i should have bought it when he first advertised it at $800 bargain.
Hold on , yes my mate offered the money he was asking but alas it was sold ? Was it ? Who knows ?
Just for your info thats $5,500 Aussie to my house, taxes , delivery included

[miracleman89]

Let me know when the mat reaches $25! LMAO

[Don't Worry, It's Just Me]

^
I think you got like 25 years before that happens.

[MixMaster]

I don't know this guy but I just checked out that steering wheel and someone offered him $850 back in November '08 and he declined it.
I've never seen that steering wheel and would love it for the All-Trac but seriously WTF...is this guy ya'lls buddy or something?

[MANDALAY]

^ I wonder who that was ?

[MR2 Drifter]
