Do NOT order from kingof1337!!!
 
I am not one to post something like this, but this is getting ridiculous unless Adam is sick in a hospital or something. He has had my $$$ for over a month, AND he sent a PM in NOVEMBER that my MS was 90% wired up.

I have been more than reasonable in waiting as I have spent the past two weeks PMing him, e-mailing him, and calling him several times and leaving a message with NO response. Not even a hey, it's taking me more time than I expected. I have not heard from him for 1 entire month.

Adam, if you read this, I expect to hear from you within one week or I will pursue legal recourse, and yes, that is a threat.

Furthermore, god forbid I actually get my MS and need some support or information.

A BIG :td: for kingof1337 aka Adam Martin.

dang...still no word?

OK, everybody send the parts back to Tom that you got from him. He needs the car back up and running for track days.

Like I said, I can understand if he needs more time, but I have not had a single response to any form of communication despite many attempts. I tried looking him up by address and phone number but no luck. BTW, what is his paypal e-mail ID? Thanks.

Wow. I was going to go through him for my '94 MS, but hell with it if he'll take money and not answer anything for a month. Unless he plans on dying from whatever he has, his behavior is inexcusable.

Atlanta93LE 01-25-2007 10:01 PM

Thanks for the warning. This could change my plans also.

Al Hounos 01-25-2007 10:21 PM

That's sad to hear. He seems to be a really busy guy, but not responding is inexcusable, and not a good way to get his PnP MS side business going.

adbradley 01-25-2007 10:25 PM

Im disapointed because i wanted to get one from him as well..

no...not at all...looks like I'll be bugging you guys more than you wanted now :).

krayzrac3r 01-25-2007 11:14 PM

how about another idea... Who the hell here knows how to do it and will be willing to do it for us??????? Look at how many people need it. Im sure we can get atleast 5-6 people that want it. Not trying to say king is a bad guy or anything but i need this thing QUICK

Ben 01-25-2007 11:35 PM

PNP MS is very popular with the RX7 guys. And costs less too. If you can solder, you could build your own. It doesn't look hard at all, just very very tedious and time consuming.

Also, since the PNP MS is nearly $700, you could throw that towards a used Link ($800-900) or a new Xede ($1000). The Link has more support due to its time in the market, but the Xede is extremely capable.

I have really taken interest in the Xede, but the economics of getting a preowned EMU for half the cost of the Xede won at the end of the day.

Al Hounos 01-25-2007 11:37 PM

hell, just do what i been sayin. get one prebuilt and do the mods yourself. $330 and an hour of soldering later you have a miata ready MS.
i might offer to do it, but my soldering isn't pretty, and it isn't too hard to do it yourself.

jayc72 01-25-2007 11:38 PM

I wondered what was going on. Didn't think he was going to pull this shit, but I really questioned getting any sort of support from him since he was nearly impossible to get a hold of. Even if he comes back and says he'll get it done I'd sever the relationship and ask for my money back.

The last PM I got from him was Decmeber 28th. At the time I was ready to send him my spare ECU and cash, damn I'm glad I didn't and bought the Link instead.

I hope you can get your money back. If you need a spare ECU I've got one I'm willing to donate if you need it.

Jay :(

import tuner mag has a issue with a ms build in it,but the test car is a miata.

jayc72 01-25-2007 11:39 PM

I'd contact the guys at DIY Autotune and let them know the score, I'm pretty sure that's where he was buying his gear from.

IF he could talk ME into doing it this way...guys trust me...lol

I'll update...and call it MS for dummies. :)

cjernigan 01-26-2007 12:06 AM
