Angry bad guy-livin the dream

a while back i bought 4 "new" coils from him. he said he shipped the next day, but after some time i contacted him and was told that they were never sent out from the post office. strange. then he said he would overnight them so i could have them for a dyno day, which would have been great. when i finally got the coils i installed them and left my house for a test drive. not even 1/2 a mile later i turned around because my car was misfiring like crazy.

back at my house i tripple checked all connections hoping to fix the issue, everything was good but still misfiring. i put my old coils back in and it ran great. so ok maby they were bad from the factory ive heard of this, so no big deal, except i didnt go to dyno day on old coils.

i contacted livin the dream/chad and told him what happened. he said he was sorry and told me to return the coils and he would refund my$. after getting his coils back he said that i kept 2 of his coils and sent 2 of my old ones back, this is total BS!

end of the story is i got screwed by another member here, i got no new coils, no $ back, and had to pay the return shipping. he will not respond to my pms or texts.
i guess some people just suck.

Yep, sometimes trying to save a buck bites us in the ***. Sorry to hear that but make sure you make a negative trader notification.

Mazda installed new coils during my last rebuild. I have a little over 1,000 miles on the new coils to date. However, when I am ready for new coils I will look no further than BHR.
