No can do. Sorry.
I even contacted ebay myself about an auction he had posted that was clearly a scam. They told me they couldn't do anything about it because there was not enough evidence to prove that it was a scam.
Suxors. If there's something we can do please let us know.
Thanks Aaron

Hmmm, now I'm kinda worried. I met him at a car show up in Green Bay and we talked for a while. He seemed like a nice guy and ended up selling me a Hallman MBC...I wonder if it works...

If it's not already installed, bring it with you to the UMG and some of the guys can take a look at it for you. If it's installed, do you have an aftermarket boost gauge? SJ

It's not installed yet. Hopefully I'll have it in before the UMG. I do have an Autometer boost gauge that's going in with it.

Thanks Aaron Nah, the post was more of a joke anyway. I was going to post the same on 3si, but sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.

OK I'm glad it's just a joke because he seemed like a really nice guy. He even offered to install the boost controller for me in the parking lot after the car show, but I didn't have a boost gauge and it was a Sunday so we couldn't go get one.

I've talked to him at the track a few times.
Sure he seems like a really nice guy when you meet him in person, but when he's behind the shield of a computer screen things change quickly.

The joke was we want to send him back to the 3/S community because the Supra community is tired of his shit.
That does seem to be Brandon's deal... behind the screen he becomes Brandon the Car GOD! He scams, flames, boasts and talks smack without regard and then wonders why people don't like him. If you're an ass to me online and we meet in person... what do you think my opinion of you is going to be? That's the part he doesn get. However, he knows if he pulled that stuff in person someone would knock him the hell out. That's why people who meet him first (and haven't had any business dealings with him) seem to think he's okay.

Guy definately deserves a punch in the face.
Ah where's Adam. The memories of him at the Green Bay gathering are priceless.

It's not because I think he sells people broken sh*t, or scams them... It's because I KNOW he sells people broken sh*t or scams them. I would honestly be worried about that boost controller, which is saying something seeing as a manual boost controller is just a spring and a ball. I would never Never NEVER NEVER let Brandon near my car to talk about fixing something, let alone let him actually install a boost controller. This is the kid that couldn't change his own oil without help. I also met him in person, where he seemed slow, but nice... and then online, where he seemed slow, and... well... I'm going to my happy place now because my blood pressure is up again. You guys remember the pics of the NA supra he tried to sell? "Never seen snow" - as the car sits in a snow bank in front of a gas station... I honestly thank my God, Allah, the devil, the moon, a few stars, and anyone else that will listen every night that Bradon 'moved up' into a supra. -_- *sigh*

You heard he got his own stickied "Do not buy from" thread on Supraforums right? That takes some work. The mods don't sticky your name at the top of the Buyer/Seller Ratings forum unless you've earned it. 20+ bans, and lord knows how many deals-gone-wrong... and he has finally gotten what he wanted... his name up in lights... right next to the infamous Manny Alves. That seems to have dissuaded him from coming around anymore. That or he's just run out of BS accounts and hasn't had time or been able to generate a bunch more.
Word has it he's selling off his AEM, DLI and stuff to get a ProEFI. Though we're not sure where he's getting it from or who he's going to have tune it... since you have to be an authorized dealer to tune it. I doubt SP would touch his car again after the shit he pulled. My guess is he's going to AMS, but who knows.
