Guys, I've once bought a AE101 block from a fellow Toyota forummer just to find out later that it is letting out white smoke. It's been nearing half a year since that forummer agreed to take back the block and refund me.
That's a con. Let me stop short of naming that person. He's not EFN.
I would like to avoid from making assumptions but bare facts reveal that there are some (or many?) people in the car modding scene who have barely enough money to pay their monthly installments yet still eager to splash out on new accessories. This is a type of addiction which is growing with the never-before-so-popular car modding scene.
These addicts then let themselves resort to con. Sikit-sikit tipu.
I kindly urge you guys from throwing yourself into defence of somebody before knowing the fact because it will undermine the real victim. I understand that it is always an easy and convenient thing to do when you're not the one who got conned.
While friendship can never be based on earthly possessions (like cars), I always take care of friendships. But when a friend did wrong, then he did wrong.
