This is how it turned out. ( BTW THEY WANTED ME TO PAY RIGHT THEN $25.00 FEE ) ( If you dont pay everyone hates you i guess, btw only rule was that to make a actual ad you must be a member and pay 25.00)

Thanks for calling me a scammer and rick rolling me.

As I will explain again, I work at a shop, a mazdapseed3 came in, throwed a rod, I bought the engine from my shop. I want to sell the parts off of it, I have no use for it. I am a DSM guy ( eclipse, talon, laser. I will not link the site. Or my email.

Just trying to say I have parts for sale. P.M. me I guess seeing how I will just get banned by putting my email and my sales reputation from said dsm site.

My email was the g4 store, because I used to sell DSM parts, and I had my own website. Thats what I do in my free time, is buy and sell used engine parts.

But wutever just trying to help YOUR community.
There will be an ad on rockford IL craigslist also if anyone is interested.

I ship. I wont link craigslist as Id probaly get banned for something like that....

What in the heck is up with that forum...

Lol so you have to pay $25 every time you wanna sell something or is a membership fee? Yea they were douche bags bro , probably because you said your a DSM guy ROFL!!! Sorry if you own a Mazda speed but they are g@y as the fu ck. Only Mazda I can respect is the Rx-7.
 
From my understand that engine is MAXXXED OUT, you put a cone filter on and a nice exhaust some how, by the way of the gods, they throw rods...

But that forum is so badly structured, its like its ran by kids, completely unprofessional.

It appeared that for people that didn't pay to be a member, you literally get treated like garbage... was retarded.
 
Ive met a few mazda 3 owners and they all look like fruity f ags!

Their motors are weak like you said, This dude i know has full intake,exhaust and cobb tuning software and threw a rod doing a 4th gear pull racing a honda.
 
I'm a member on msf since my other car is a speed3 they're reasonable people and I've sold many parts without a problem. They just sometimes very judging. And the problem with the motor is without a high pressure pump upgrade they tend to run lean under boost. I was making 305whp and 350 ft lbs of torque with an intake,fuel pump, and e85 protune. So all the down talk of the mzr motor is a mute point LOL both the speed3 and 4g63 are great motors

Well, I don't think LEAN is a factor, you don't throw rods from running lean ( with cone filter and exhaust upgrade) . That engine is based off the old FE series, which is a pile of crap.

The BP series is the best motor mazda ever made, why they got rid of it, I will never know.

From the looks of the engine I disassembled, they don't actually throw a rod, the oil pump appeared to have failed HORRIBLY, and just throwed metal everywhere, eventually part of the block itself broke off and got stuck where the rods at broke the rod in half,

In my opinion oil pump failure is the cause of the engines problems. All in all, it looked like a weak design. ( compared to a 4g )

Besides, RPM is more stressful on a engine then boost is. So throwing rods at low rpm moderate boost, is stupid. Just doesnt make sense.
 
engine specs and performance/durability being of no real bearing on the reasons they treated you the way they did lets look at some real reasons/facts.

Many times people will join a site just to sell parts under ficticiouse circumstances, or parts are stolen or they don't really have them to start with and are just hopping from forum to forum and scamming people

I can totally agree with a 25 dollar charge to sell parts IF (and that's only an IF) if you haven't been on the forum long enough to establish a reputation for yourself to ensure others' their money wil infact yield a part delivered to them. I know i see deals on here and just don't act on them because members are new, jhave no post count or negative rep chicklets in their profile.

25 bucks is not much and goes to show a "good faith' gesture that you are in fact legit, and you shold make well more than that off an entire engine part out (even with a damaged rod journal/crank)

another reason they may have picked on you is your grammar. the proper term and you will get corrected by most people who went farther than 8th grade, is that an engine "threw" a rod. throwed is not even a word. Now i know my grammar isn't the best these days because of my nerve and muscle deterioration, a lto of times i have random added letters or random missed letters because my hand to eye motor functionis declining (sometimes 5 or 6 tries and i can't get the word correctly typed) yet i try, and if i feel i'm mis-spelling something to the point of coming across wrong i will put "(sp?) after it or look it up on google.

as to what broke part of a block from an engine and wedged it into an area where the rod is, well that's a new one to me and i just can't comprehend how it's even possible (i see possibly that you interperit as that's what happened based on what you saw, but i'd really like to see pictures out of honest curiosity)

i'm not bashing on you a bit, but havingbeen around a long time and seeing people scammed online, and especially being able to spot scammers (mainly of the nigerian breed) by their poor grammar, i'm just giving you suggestions on why they may come across as unreasonable.. hell the guy who built the forum may just want to make money off people with the 25 dollar fee, but if there was soemthing like that on here for people with no reputation i would feel more confident in buying some stuff I wish i could order on herefrom people.
 
Well the first post that I put up, was a normal intro, i mentioned I had some parts and included my DSM seller/buyer profile, and my email. So I tried showing them I wasn't a scammer.

My second post was when I was pissed off at the treatment I got. As for the Fee, I read the rules, if you wanted to make a actual ad and sling parts, you have to pay the $25.00 fee. BUT, I did not make an ad, I mentioned I had parts and if more interested please contact me. I provided all the information they needed to prove I wasn't a scammer.

As for the engine LOL, the rod did not spin, nor did it do any damage to the crank. It was broke about half way up pretty clean to. Piston and rod where in pan and not in to bad shape. Everything located by the oil pump housing was just gone. The angles at which metal was embedded made me think the oil pump failed horribly and somehow found its way into the crank area a peice of block hit the first rod, locked it up, and broke it in half.

It appeared it started its way left and moved in, not out. Keep in mind it uses chains not belts for timing and oil pump. Ill look at it more, try to figure more out.

Here is how i see it.

your attempts to prove you were legit mean nothing. Anyone who wanted to scam people would attempt to appear legit.

You're trying to work around their rules. Posting a FS ad, and posting something that says you have some things you'd like to sell is the same thing, just worded differently. In the end you hope to sell your things on their forum.

I'm not saying you were scamming them, and i'm not saying $25 to sell parts was needed. But it is what it is, and that's how i see it.

and the $25 fee isn't any different than this forum charging fee's for "supporting freelancer".

I think you should man up and pay the $25 OR don't pay anything and sell your shit elsewhere.

No you do not need to be a supporting free lancer to sell stuff on this site. Only time I ever had to do that, was when I was literally running a small business selling parts for a decent monthly income.

That is alot different then buying some junky made mazda engine and trying to sell parts to people that could really use them. ( 1 engine mind you)

If someone came on here and said, HEY I dont have a DSM, but I have a turbo 4g63 engine with crankwalk... you really think we would treat them like that???

Exactly.

In my views, i dont want to be part of there community nor pay $25.00 to be part of some crappy website, that seems more like a mcdonalds playland then a actual forum. If I was treated with respect as I tried treating them I probaly would pay the $25.00.

Also, as far as being a scammer, paying $25.00 INSTANTLY GIVES ME NON SCAMMER status...... thats stupid. I think there the scammers.

Like I said, they treat you like CRAP if you don't pay, member or not. Go ahead read there rules, they even make examples of people who wont pay. That forum is utter crap.
 
Well,further explaining yourslf makes a lot more sense, could be just a community that's very un-welcoming to new people. Or maybe they took your first thread as a way around paying the fee.. who knows, but one things for sure, there's got to be a couple other mazda sites to sell the parts on. Now if that's the major one, kinda like this place is to DSM's (i don't visit a single other dsm forum personally) thhen i can see why it bothers you that they are acting the way they are. BUt like the rest of things in ife, it's best to not let the little things get to you. There's apparently some guys here that hold a dual membvership to both DSM and mazda forums so you might have a little luck on here.. Personally craigslist has gotten almost as bad as ebay, I cant list anything on there without getting a thousand replies that all read "i'm new to the area and to be honest it's not so much the parts i'm interested inbut i'd really like to meet you" bla bla bla

hopefully things go well for ya, it's amazing to hear how easiily the mazda engines blow up though. I kinda likd them based on my history with rotory engines, but once again info from this site has brought some knowledge that can be put to good use
 
No you do not need to be a supporting free lancer to sell stuff on this site. Only time I ever had to do that, was when I was literally running a small business selling parts for a decent monthly income.

True, but you do have to be a proven memeber. I can't create a new account and expect to sell stuff right away.

That is alot different then buying some junky made mazda engine and trying to sell parts to people that could really use them. ( 1 engine mind you)

If someone came on here and said, HEY I dont have a DSM, but I have a turbo 4g63 engine with crankwalk... you really think we would treat them like that???

No, but DSMers are intelligent. :D

Also, as far as being a scammer, paying $25.00 INSTANTLY GIVES ME NON SCAMMER status...... thats stupid. I think there the scammers.

You make an excellent point here. If I'm going on and scamming people for hundreds of dollars, what difference will $25 bucks make if it makes me look legit? I think that's why the system we have here works so well.

Like I said, they treat you like CRAP if you don't pay, member or not. Go ahead read there rules, they even make examples of people who wont pay. That forum is utter crap.

Well said.
