Default Anyone heard of......

LMP... guy said it was called luxury motorsports performance or something like that. I think its in dallas or grand prairie. Well, I saw a fast 92 on craislist and he wanted $380. I got him down to $350 picked up so I met up with the guy. The tb had no name on it when I saw it and I was worried but Like an idiot I still bought it. He had loaded pics on the craigslist thread but none of the face. It has a black shaft like the big mouth so I figured thats what it was. Either way, like I said I bought it. I tell him I was going forced induction and he tells me he has a kit for $3000. Tells me it has a 70mm turbo, I tell him I want to look at it this coming Monday and he sends me pics today.. well, its a $980 ebay turbo kit. I tried doing a search on the shop but came up short. Maybe it is not a real shop and he was just screwin me over. Well, I checked the ebay turbo kit and it was the exact same pics he sent me. Then i did a search on a fast 92 tb and another one came up exactly like the one I bought from him for $350. LOL! They sell for $220 shipped on ebay. Oh well. Lesson learned. It looked like a fast tb from his pics but it wasn't. Just wanted to give guys a heads up on this guy. Here is his number....469-432-2878. I forgot his name.. I think it was andrew.. Rant over lol!

Not sure if he spoke spanish. He ws in a small suv, redish moroon in color, I believe it was a toyota . He had an ls3 short block with him and he was trying to sell it as well. He sounded like a cool guy but they all do I guess.

I sent him a text and told him it wasn't cool for a SHOP to do business this way. The clutch he has up for sale on craigslist says its a centerforce... it doesn;t look like it to me.
