That is no MR2... the Gen3 ECU had 4 plugs on it.

No, only the gen3 NA 3sge ecu has 4 plugs. The gen3 3sgte turbo ecu still only has 3 plugs.

Cuts, I can understand your frustration, but best I can do for you is help sell your unit and help source you another one.
 
1. You did not purchase the item from us. You have no contract with us. We have no liability to you.
2. As your story goes, I sold a unit to someone. This person then sold a unit to someone else (flypig). Flypig asked me if I had sold a unit to the first member, to which I said yes. There's no guarantees that this first member even sent flypig the exact same unit as I sold to him in the first place.
3. Even if this happens to be the same unit, the unit was originally sold well over 24 months ago, we cannot vouch it was not tampered with after it left our hands.

These things happen, Cuts. You win some and you lose some. I have bought parts that I think are a steal and I feel guilty for getting them so cheap. On the flip side, I bought a supposed built 5SGTE engine from a guy that had bought it from a forum member and the block was an early 5S block and had multiple cracks in it. I still can't believe that someone would build an engine with a cracked block (the cracks could be seen with the eye). It was lucky that I stripped it to check before I put it in the car. I have no idea if the guy I bought it from shafted me or the forum member that sold it to him did the shafting. As I said, you win some and you lose some.
Karma will eventually come to the guy that did the shafting. It always does.
 

Just FYI the ACL covers any transactions made, not just limited to business to consumer transactions.
 
Exactly right, you win some you lose some.
 
Thanks Dylan, any help selling the unit will be greatly appreciated, I do still need a power fc for the car, ill shoot you guy an email.
 

To add to the support for Dylan I have purchased a number of items from him and he has always been extremely personable and has done the best by me. If only a lot of businesses, and particularly those in the motor trade, were as trustworthy and honest upfront as Gorilla are with MR2 stuff.
 
If the ACL laws apply to effectively "private" transactions such as those done on a one-to-one basis via Forums such as this one (which I don't believe they do), and Eric takes up on one of the Forum ads to get a Chinese wife, can he sue Glenn if it doesn't work out?
 
Caveat emptor, as the saying goes.

believe it -- my engine was built for one of the previous owners and it had undersized pistons installed into it - you could see visually how undersized it was

Terms and conditions of using this forum protect me from issues between sellers and buyers 😃
