Long story short. I wanted a genuine M2 pipe. Went through a bullsh*t shipping fiasco w/ Jason and when I finally got the part it wasn't what was advertised on his site. Then a get an email a couple days ago from someone warning me that my unpolished rough pipe might not be one from M2. I emailed M2 directly to see if they have ever shipped a batch of rough pipes to Jason's store and they said no. M2 is very concerned w/ the situation and is looking into this.

Hello Raymond,



We are sorry to here of this situation, though we've feared for some time

that this might be happening. Without question we have not shipped any

downpipes to the Rx7 Store which were not fully mirror polished, nor have we

ever made any statements to Jason regarding not being abled to polish them.

We are also certain that he could not possibly have obtained our pipes

polished or not from any other source. His statements seem to indicate an

intentional misrepresentation to you and we sincerely regret that this has

occured. If this has occured as a result of our referring you to them for

this purchase we will certainly assist in any way possible to rectify the

situation. We take alot of pride in our product and hate to think that a

"rough" copy is being presented as ours. We would be more than happy to

provide you with a geniune part while this mess is being sorted out. Any

additional info you can provide to us regarding the product you received and

a copy of the invoice would be greatly appreciated.



As for your shop needs, we do also operate Mostly Mazda in Concord and do

specialize in complete 3rd Gen RX7 service and performance. I presume you

are talking about cooling hoses? Just want to clarify as we also do many

vaccum hose jobs.



Regards,



Brian Richards

M2 Performance

damn, this is fucked up. i always knew jason was a peice of ****, but this takes the cake. he needs an *** kicking for that ****.



i'm also bothered by the fact that brian said "we've feared for some time

that this might be happening." if M2 had ANY reason to suspect that jason was selling fake ****, why the hell didn't they bring this to thiercustomers attention before, or stop distributing thier stuff through the rx7 store till they straightened everything out?

haha the thread on the other forum is such bullshit!!! i cant believe they havent deleted the thread and banned you (thier usual procedure)



let me tell you from experience, when jason says 'yeah we got it in stock' that means we dont keep ANYTHING in stock, but i think the guy we're gonna buy it from has it in stock, so once we bill you for the item, we will take your $$ and order it from the other guy, since we dont have the capitol to buy in advance



i had a 4 week on a greedy IC that was supposedly 'in stock' when i ordered it. i got fed up with the lies, and jason's inability to produce a tracking #, so i called another place to order the same IC. turns out that the IC's were on nationwide backorder from greedy, and NOBODY had them in stock.



i called jason back and asked when he was expecting greedy to ship him the baxckordered IC's and he said "any day now" i wanted to kick him in his ******* throat!!!! I said what do you mean any day now, you ******* lying peice of ****, you told me 3 weeks ago that you shipped me the IC that you claimed was 'in stock' he fumbled arround a bit and i ended up hanging up. i finally got my IC, and when i started a thread on the forum about my experience he called me a lier, and posted my legal name and home address. we got into an ugly war and he ended up deleting the thread (to hide the evidence of his deception) and banning my account.



I WILL NEVER, and i mean NEVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM THAT ******* GUY EVER AGAIN.



do yourself a favor, discount or not, take your business elsewhere in the future.



dont you find it strange that there was ot one negitave experience about the rx7store by anyone else in your thread? they censor any post that makes them look bad. at least you got a DP, comsider yourself lucky

The word is rotormotorsports was doing the same thing. They are looking into it cuz slava was selling parts as m2 and from what i understand he was direct link dealer and that is the only way you can sell there product so if you boys bought parts from him as m2 they are not...........

i ordered an M2 dp from jason about 2 and ahalf months ago... mine was not polished and i remember seeing something on the other forum about jason saying M2 doesn't have time to polish them anymore. also, there was a circular 'dent' in the downpipe, all the way around the outside of the pipe, almost as if someone or a machine grabbed the pipe to bend it. i don't have any close-up pics of the dp, but it was a very noticeable dent.





that is just bullshit if it's true.

i ordered my m2 dp from jason a few months ago. when i got it, it wasn't polished and he told me the same thing about m2 not having enough time to polish them anymore. there was aslo a kink or a dent as if a person or machine grabbed hold of the pipe to bend it.
