im stil in the LEGEND game man...just havin problems with the mech!!! done gave him 300$ up front and now he dont want to give any of it back!!! ima have to kick me sum ass if he dont come off with at least half!!!

and by the way the ecu is a typell ecu...so that means the motor that was in there had to been type2 rite? im have the heads sent off and check becouse i dont belive that mech had them sent off like he said he did!!!
