he bought it off of ebay from some guy and it was supposed to be "unused". it didn't come directly from MM. probably a reason for that. glad its not mine. but the car has gone mid 1.3 sec 60' with the DS angle all f-ed up. its hilarious.
Has he contacted MM about it? I wouldn't use it if it's so messed up.
i have a buddy with a maximum motorsports k member. its heavy and durable, but that thing is about the worst fitting POS ive ever seen. the engine is so far from center its stupid. when the k member is square the motor is way off. I guess every dog has its day.

Another example why I don't buy used parts off e bayhe bought it off of ebay from some guy and it was supposed to be "unused". it didn't come directly from MM. probably a reason for that. glad its not mine. but the car has gone mid 1.3 sec 60' with the DS angle all f-ed up. its hilarious.
"its pretty funny. which is probably why it got put on ebay where he bought it from"
It IS pretty funny. That someone would buy a "supposedly unused" part, have problems with it, and then NOT consider the part was maybe not in brand-new original condition. Or not installed correctly. I've read the instructions for an MM K-member. No joke. Lots of measurements, plumb bobs, etc.

Even the best products have some failure or DOA rate.
It's more about how a company handles a bad product return than it is about making it screwed up in the first place.
Some companies really want those parts back so they can figure out who and how it got messed up in the first place.
That's impressive. I have no problem with running 2nd hand parts that I can see/check out before hand or are rebuildable. I bought some tfs heads 2nd hand but I got to see them before hand for example. eBay just scares me. Internet pictures often don't give an accurate description and there are a lot of crooks out there.the car is built with used ebay parts and everybody elses garbage. it runs 6.30s@108 on the motor in the 1/8th.
ok. since it was advertized as MM and was delievered with their instructions and looks like MM that is what i assumed it was because in 15 years of seeing tube k members i have never seen another one that looks like the MM. ive never even seen a copy of an MM but i am willing to take other peoples word for it that they exsist. but now i am accused of maliciously dragging MMs name through the mud. are you ****ing kidding me? its called an honest mistake. i guess you have to do a DNA test on the goddam thing to prove who welded it on the jig. jesus christ.
its a k member thread. i thought it was an MM k member. we dont know for a fact who made it but its built like an MM and was advertised that way. you are assuming its not MM. at least i have layed eyes on it. people get on here assuming a bad install when they have never even seen it, even though a guy that builds some of the fastest cars on the planet says otherwise. Wolfe seemed to think it looked enough like an MM to fool him, and he doesnt make k members so its not like he has a dog in the fight. i even said it could have been one that didnt pass QC and found its way out the back door and that anyone can have a bad day. how about relax. goddam. now i remember why i dont ****ing post on this site. **** this. im done.

i have a buddy with a Clements widget. its heavy and durable, but that thing is about the worst fitting POS ive ever seen. the engine is so far from center its stupid. when the widget is square the motor is way off. I guess every dog has its day.
exactly. by the same token when you buy something second hand cheap its not the manufactures problem anymore.
