Default Caution: 90mm intake from OutlawZ28 is not what it seems

Just wanted to let folks know that the ported 90mm FAST intake advertised by OutlawZ28 is not what it seems. See it here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...st#post7921552

He stated in a PM that he had it ported by Tony at AFR. I received some pics from him and asked some questions like: are you sure its a 90mm? and are you sure Tony Mamo ported it? The replies were "yes" and "yes."

I sent the pics to Tony and he laughed. In fact, I think he said "this ******* thing isn't even ported. And I can count on my hands how many 78mm FAST intakes I have ported." So its not Tony Mamo ported, its not even really ported, and its not a 90mm. Just wanted everyone to know. I cannot say for sure if Colt (OutlawZ28) is a scammer or a victim of a scam himself, but that intake is not what was advertised. All I can say is that I am glad I did not send my $1500 N2O kit to him for a trade.

His only trader rating is from TransAm45. Ring a bell?

I was actually being cool to him and trying to be understanding in case he got ripped.

On a side note....HUGE KUDOS to Tony at AFR. That guy is AWESOME! I called him earlier today with concerns. He called me right back, sat on the phone while I forwarded him the pics I had received, then was able to quickly and definitively state that the intake was wrong. You could tell he was personally offended and really took pride in what he does. I will, without question, be buying from Tony at AFR in the future.

Yea outlawz28 is definitely transam45. He is trying to explain himself but he just edited his add but still has all the parts transam45 was selling. Heres a link to all the similarities.

Hope some admins see this before someone buys something from him.

you can tell if its a 90 or 78.

nice how you say your not even gonna try.

send him back his cash and pay for shipping so he can send you back your "unported" intake

The port outlets of that manifold (which need the most attention) haven't been touched. By the looks of the pics someone spent five minutes hardrolling a tiny bit of the intake port entance (which doesnt represent any restriction whatsoever).

I really had to laugh when I saw not only wasn't it ported but it was a 78 mm FAST, not a 90 mm.

BUYER BEWARE guys.....

BTW, this isnt the first time I have been contacted about an intake that supposedly had my porting work and it wasnt the case.

The biggest shame is not enough people will read this.....this section doesnt get as much traffic as some of the others.

OutlawZ28 your case isn't looking to good to me....whether your actually trying to scam or peddle something you have no clue what it is....either situation is bad....one just worse than the other.

Who can check some IP address's to really put an end to this mystery?

Tony

Yea Tony is right the IP addresses need to be checked to see if Outlawz28 is really transam45, which i dont see how he can post about 30 parts for sale and everyone of them be the exact same as transam45 was selling 2 months ago. How did you have every single part??? From multiple sets of wheels to the exact cam, wastegate, trans from the same year with same miles and everything for the exact same price???? And now you deleted your entire thread??? Transam45 = Outlawz28

You know it wasnt ported by tony, you supposedly had it ported by transam45!! Check the feedback it says "great work ported my fast 90 defently more hp out it looks great to fast shippin"
https://ls1tech.com/forums/itrader.php?u=53441

So you left yourself feedback?? And you knew that "transam45" ported the intake and not Tony cause you had him(you) do it??

Who "told you" I ported it?

What about the small issue relating to the fact it was a 78mm FAST....not a 90mm

C'mon man....

IP address being looked into....I know where my money is if I where to lay a wager on the results.

Default What a SHOCK!

The results from the IP Search....

OutlawZ28

The IP Address is: 68.207.91.41. The host name is: 41-91.207-68.panhandle.res.rr.com

Transam45

The IP Address is: 68.207.91.41. The host name is: 41-91.207-68.panhandle.res.rr.com.


How do we make sure this guy never comes back to try and scam someone else??

Thats the big question here....

Cant wait for the response from Outlaw.....I mean Transam45....whoever you feel like being today.

10-23-07 at 8:47pm: "i had tony mamo do it he left a lil bit extra on the ports so i could have it port match to some heads"

10-23-07 at 9:40pm: "u can see in the pic that he didn't mess with the port shape to much so that it could be port match to heads"

10-23-07 at 10:24pm: "basically he did all the hard parts to port the ports he didn't really mess with so i could be port matched "

10-24-07 at 3:10pm: "yeah i got the email pic look good yeah it a 90mm fast"

10-25-07 at 2:43pm: "no this intake isnt from him (Tony Mamo or TransAm45, not sure - HAHA I 1) i had him port a friend of mines fast 90 he took for ever on the shipping it back but it was decent work he only charged 100 for the work but it took him like 2 weeks to ship it back to me u could tell the difference in the porting mine look alot better than the one he did for my friend but my friend liked it lol"

10-25-07 at 3:21pm: "im not trying to scam any 1 and it is a fast 90 u can see on the pic of the opening that it is if you look u can see the 4 bolt hole to the side for a 90 tb"

10-25-07 at 3:45pm: "and srry but yeah i did get this from transam45 along with a cam he said that tony mamo ported it an that he paid around 300 for the porting i thought that it really was ported by him"


Thought you all might like to see this progression. On a side note, OutlawZ28 has offered to send me the intake for me to check it out. If I liked it, I would send him the N2O kit while he sends me some cash. I would use the cash to have Tony port it for me. I believe I will pass altogether now.

In looking at his trader ratings earlier today, I saw some pics in one of his posts of a ported MAF and TB which had the text "Devine Porting" or something like that. His last name is Devine. Those pics are gone now.
