i dont remember working out a deal like that? that would have just been crazy on my part when i spent $800 on the LHT manifold work alone. + shipping both ways (not to mention sending in my personal JRSC manifold)
i never once was willing to sell the LHT manifold to anyone if they didnt purchase the entire supercharger system.
i dont mean to be the bearer of bad news. it might have been wishful thinking on your part.

when i sent the manifold to LHT, they were not returned with the brass plugs. i even called them about it and they told me where i could purchase them. i never did, because i decided to do a k20a swap instead of finishing my supercharger build.
also, im hearing johnny bring up 'scratches' on the manifold. it's a POLISHED aluminum manifold. as soon as i opened the box, it had scratches on it along with white dust (polishing compound) and that was directly from LHT. aluminum can be polished again if you are worried about the scratches. i wasnt bitchy about them when i got the manifold. i just checked out their awesome welds and peaked in at the laminova cores. that's it.

In the end he feels everything worked out because the cracked manifolds offset his poor pocketbook because he feels I charged too much after he already paid me??? weird
EDIT: $200 shipped and they're all yours to "make profit on" even though I'm getting bashed for making profit when in reality I didn't at all.

MADEINIRAQ didnt make any PROFIT on this at all. he got screwed. simple as that.
he paid $800 for the manifold. (not $700) but he also purchased $1995 worth of parts from me at once so i cut him a deal. i shipped him a lot of stuff in some rubbermade totes. matter of fact, the m62 blower unit was damaged during shipping with the GSR head that was sent. MADEINIRAQ had to pay for the repair.
I believe i got insurance on his packages for $3000 or around that price. why? because what i sent him was heavy.... about 100lbs each package. i figured if something or all of it was damaged, he could file a claim and receive more than he paid. he decided to bite the bullet and just repair the blower unit out of his own pocket. he pmed me with pictures of the damage and i felt very very bad and even scared because that was not the condition that i shipped. but we worked through it in PMs and he never ONCE made a scammer thread about me. why? because he wasnt scammed. why is he making a scammer thread now? probably because he felt screwed when he saw the manifolds and because Jchimpo was ignoring his PMs for over 7 days but still posting elsewhere on honda-tech.

true... but in defense of jchimpo, JRSC know to ask about cracks in the manifolds. madeiniraq should have known better with a price that low.

I paid $750 for an intake manifold. What I received was broken and unusable. I returned it and I did not get my money back.
You did not return it to me. What you received was not broken and is usable because its on your car. You also paid 750 for an intake manifold and pump. which neither were returned.
Contacting paypal and claiming what you did.... WOW I never thought you would stoop so low.

if that is truly the case, i'll definitely have to side with madeiniraq on this one.
