    That seller is 'interesting' to say the least. He won my auction for a 308 weather striping piece.

    The first thing he did was complain that it was too expensive. (Apparently someone twisted his arm to buy bid!)

    Then he complained that the shipping was too expensive. Then he insisted on another (cheaper) form of shipping, that took us a while to gather their supplies.

    Then he lodged a complaint that he hadn't received anything. Then he refused the package 3-4X, eventually accepting it.

    Finally he is now complaining that even though the piece isn't new... even though it is new and never used. Quite the character.

    I would like those seats but no way I deal with this guy.

    do a search on scuderia rossa in the general forum. It appears he is not to be trusted.

    Right now I am in a dispute with paypal over this. After he finally received it he moaned (in Italian of course) that the piece is old. I had to translate it for the paypal representitive. I think that they are going to find for me, and give me the money back. This guy was trying to get the item for free. Nice piece of work!

    Well.......Paypal found in my favor. Then he instantly filed another complaint.... that the 25 year old part that he bought (that wasn't used), was not brand new. Bad news. This guy is bad news.

    I am sure that he is trying to sell it, and if he can't, he'll try to return it, or keep it and try to skate on paying.

    same guy told me once I had to buy a part I didn't need to get another that I wanted, so I would agree, is a "character" to say the least. Will try what I have one more time, and if that doesn't work, going the sparco route also if Pengster355 is happy with them.

    I ordered them from a supplier in Singapore, Miki Marketing, whom is ordering directly from RECARO. I did considered OMP seats, SPARCO seats but I think RECARO has the nicest quality within the similar budget range (of course, the Ferrari challenge seat would be a lot better but a lot more costly too). The pair cost me about US$ 3.3K including shipping, railing and installation of the seat. Lets see how it turn out and perhaps you can try to put one in yours

    cheers
