Never buy anything from fasterthanurs, he lied to me on multiple accounts when he sold me an apr chip a while and never owed up to it in any way after being given ample time nor would he agree to even give me a small portion of my money back.

1)said the apr chip was easy to install
2)carriers available to install the chip
3)I would not have to send it anywhere

i paid 300 plus shipping for it, plus 100 to get it across the border and would not even refund 100

1) It's a pretty straight forward process to r/r the ecu. Instructions on how to do it are available from most chip tuning sites/here.
2) It's up to you to find the closest chip dealer to install. If somoene told you soldering is an easy DIY, that is misleading.
3) Explain....
4) There is no member "fasterthanurs"

You paid a fair price. You should have been prepared and aware of border crossing fee's, etc. for shipping.

Based on your signature alone, you seem to be the type of person who to have unreasonable complaints. The details you provided us about the transaction are few, so it's hard to take you seriously. It sounds like you didn't do all the necessary research about compatibility, and shipping. When it comes to a private sale, the seller's only responsibility is to have a clear product description, and makes sure it gets shipped. You are the one who is should research about compatability, fitment, and to find out if you are responsible to pay for border crossing fees.

This is a joke.

I would say everything you are complaining about is your fault for not asking more questions or failing to understand how it works. It is a very easy install if you know what basic tools are and it should be up to you to find local dealers especially if you thought you might have trouble. I'm not familiar with shipping to Canada but an extra $100 seems kind of steep and that is probably set by the company not the seller. Why should he refund it? If you want to buy from a different country you should pay to get it there.

I can't tell if you got it or not from reading your post since it is written poorly, if you send money and didn't get the ecu then I would take legal actions.

Once more, I'm gonna stand up for FasterthanursA4. Sure, and only because he has fewer convictions than my cousin in Manalapan.
But why are you buying overseas dude? You deserve the rape and Faster's lawyer deserves your $.
