:I was sold an Apollo FMIC by Nick and was told by him it was one of the best I could buy and that it was worth $1100. Now I know this is buyers remorse but I was in a hurry and wasn't able to do all the research and I know I should have. I figured if a new Apollo FMIC retailed at $1100 it would be great. My fault here but I should not have been misled in my opinion. :Now for the problems.. :1. It arrived at my door with the UPS guy holding the bottom so the parts wouldn't fall out of the bottom which was ripped due to a ridiculous packing job. The box was bulging due to him stuffing the parts in a box that was far to small. The box was then molested with packing tape from bottom to top but not the ends which is just stupidity. I opened it up and found that one of the end tanks was damaged. It was dented right where the coupler hooks up. I asked about any damages and he said none. The fins were also bent a lot more in comparison to the pictures that were sent and the condition described by Nick. The BOVS were also mounted on really poor quality thin flanges that are not nearly thick enough IMO to constitute a quality job. :2nd I had to pay 101 dollars COD! We had discussed and outlined in the email that all shipping and PayPal fees were included in the one time PayPal payment. He later asked for me to pay his PayPal fee again. :3rd and the worst of all I have had to spend extra money buying the parts that he did not include. He did not send all the couplers. He has mentioned that absolutely no stock piping was needed for this setup. After messing around trying to figure out why it would not fit on my car for hours I realized that I was definitely missing some pipes. This was a huge waste of my time.. anyhow I sent him a picture of the pipes I needed and he said oh i didn't send those because they are stock pipes and most JDM engines come with those. I had never even mentioned I was doing a JDM engine swap but i guess he assumed. I asked him to ship out those pipes and he wanted me to pay shipping on them and i already know how bad he is at that. I refused this because I do not want any more problems with him than I have already had and I do not believe I should pay shipping because he lied and told me that no stock pipes were needed with his setup. :Since then he has sworn at me and insulted me. :Moral of the story, I would highly recommend avoiding any transactions with Nick :In the interest of being positive I would like to Thank all other members on TT.net who I have bought from for flawless transactions!
