hey guys... just letting the cat out of the bag on some extremely nice finds on ebay. MANTAPART.. yes i said MANTAPART (partzseller27) is getting rid of some stuff...
i recently bought an extrude honed 2.3 ho manifold off this exact same seller (yes it is mantapart) and the transaction went smoothly. not saying they can be trusted or anything... just letting you guys know i had a good buy with em. and the part is very nice.
wow i wish i could afford those titanium rods...

Needing 2.3 oil pump stuff? PM me...
Maybe it'll be a little harder to rip some one off thru Ebay transactions at least
well when i was considering buying from them when i saw the extrude honed manifold i went through they're feedback. (and its 100% btw) a few big names popped out... such as brian speedracer z, spyhunter, brandon blaga... i think i even saw level zero motorsports on there.

I'm still scared of Mantapart.
I have not had any issues with Mantapart in the almost 10 years of buying parts from them

ive been in talks with the seller through ebay. im going to be getting discount on something im trying to buy with em so all is good but....
here are a couple messages i got back from em. i asked about a discount for first one...
mantapart on ebay 1 wrote:sure no problem,, but we wondered why you made the comment
about "at least you got the manifold" that was uncalled for!! our
eBay reputation is 100% and these are my parts and have
nothing to do with Mantapart if that was the reference.. in either
case it was in poor taste and thats why we no longer wish to
support the small car GM community..too many cynics who
gave us a bad wrap when they weren't even involved, ,and it did
cause less business and then we did struggle..thanks guys!!
i then fired back saying i KNEW it was mantapart because of the name on the paypal account for one.. the sending address for two.. and because i called mantapart's number on their website and talked to this same person over the phone. they then fired back...
mantapart on ebay 2 wrote:AGAIN..these parts are not MANTAPART business parts ...they
are mine... OK!! The fact that I still run the company has
nothing to do with them or how I sell them,.. and again you can
see there is no problem with my eBay sales. Trying to supply
thousands of Jcar owners all over the country and World is...!!!
wonder why no one else is doing it!?? because it is brutal and
extremely difficult and expensive business to try to make a
living at.. I rest my case and yes there were some problems with
parts..but u guys have no idea what a small percentage that is
and how your negative gossip hurt our ability to prevent that
from happening again.. so we all got no good from it!!!

LOL.....did you bother telling him that is they didn't consistently suck....we would still be buying parts from them? I remember my brother waiting 5 months to get a flywheel.....with no answer to email or anything. If they actually cared, they would have hired a youngster to do nothing but answer emails all day to help and keep people in the loop. That's what my dad does, and he is in the top 100 sellers on ebay and pays his high school kids like $8.00/hr for 15hrs/week. Manta might not even need that much help...and to think how much better customer service would be..... That's BS if they sit there and try to blame the consumers in their market for their total failure at customer service.
Thats not a bad deal for the forged crank, Ti rods and pistons.....deal of the year.
