Mantapart for sale?
I was just browsing around and found that mantapart is for sale. The owner wants to sell it as a complete functional business. With all equipment, suppliers, everything. Could be a cool business to own.

Someone should buy it and change the name and offer customer service.

Lol! That's what I mean someone buy it and do some good with it. Or get wot-tech to buy it and make use of the facilities and suppliers.

Re: Mantapart for sale?
Its been for sale for a year. I wonder if it ever gets sold if the new owners will give me my deposit back.

You should see if he will give you parts instead of your deposit. They close performance parts dept on Aug 25.

Re: Mantapart for sale?
I'll damn near promise that the price he wanted was/is outrageous. Plus, considering Mantapart's market, poor reputation, and rather dated parts selection - nobody in their right mind would waste the money. The only worthwhile stuff would be any engines or Torsen LSDs still hiding, but I'd imagine all of the good crap is all gone.

yah, yah bad reputation. i have been buying from him on ebay, all is fine. i just bought 3 months ago.. still he has burned oh so many people...
Re: Mantapart for sale?
It's easy to do safe and secure transactions on eBay. I need a set of +/- 4 cam gears. To realize this guy has torsen LSDs and bilstein struts growing mold on their boxes makes me sick.

Paul, he actually has screwed MANY people from this site and Bstuff too, around pretty badly. He's not pissing around on Ebay because between them and PP they'll put his balls in a vise.Red_Bra_Black_GTZ wrote:yah, yah bad reputation. i have been buying from him on ebay, all is fine. i just bought 3 months ago.. still he has burned oh so many people...

It is beyond questionable whether or not there are any Torsen units hanging out.
He certainly does not have any Bilsteins, at least for our applications.

Re: Mantapart for sale?
Yes, Torsens were indeed available. At least in the W41 cars. Whether or not he ACTUALLY has any may be a different story. Only way to know for SURE would be to either buy JUST the diff from him (because it will be clear immediately if it's a Torsen or not) or to tear the trans down first. I wouldn't take anyone's word for it. Not on a Torsen.
And no, they're not cheap. Usually an arm and a leg due to their extreme rarity.

Last time I talked to him he had some of each. I had a deposit on both.
