I hope only 2 will be it..

Well things just got brighter for me. The job in Seattle wasn't suppose to go until October. So might be off for the whole week. Now if only the shop would get there shit together and give me my car. They have had it since November.

Also there are a few locations not terribly far (15 mins or so) from the track that will fill them as well.

You would think. I tuck the car in November since the motor I had just built was abused by the transmission shop I tuck her to. with out the engine being primed which i told the transmission shop not to start the car cranked on it over and over till it started scaring the #6 so bad lost compression. So off to the performance shop. Drop the car off to have the engine taken back down and rebuild from the ground up and have it blueprinted. Then the last week of February comes and I get a call with the final numbers. Right off the bat I'm telling there something wrong. That's to low. Then get a call back stating there one of the cylinders has no compression yet again. So they tare the motor back apart. Skip a head its now May 3rd and I get a call and they need me down at the shop. Where I'm told that the C&L manifold that I provided that the bolts holding the bottom plate were loss, which in turn the plate poped letting all the air rush out on the dyno casing the car to lean out. that failure lead to a broken rocker which turned in to a bent valve. That valve damage the piston and scared the cylinder wall. then that valve shot up and damage the cam shaft. And with this all being caused by a part that I provided they were not going to cover the damage but will cover the labor. So at that point parts were ordered and the block was bored yet again and was told it would take them 5 weeks to finish. So June first I call and see how its going and come to find out that the new pistons just showed up but they would have it to me in by the end of June. July 4 week motor is built but not in car. So I go up the next week the motor is in and they tell me I can have the car back July 12. Call that day car not ready but we will tune it tomorrow and Ill have it by the end of the day. Next day I call at the end of f the day to find out whats going on and at that point I'm informed that there tuner wasn't ever working that day but he will start on it Monday. Well I give the shop a couple of days called yesterday to hear that there was a miss fire during the dyno and they tuck it off so they could free up the dyno for paying customers so they can pay payroll. That last line has pissed me off more then anything else that have taken place during this whole time. I am getting pushed to the side because we all ready have your money but we have higher price customers to take care off. I'm at my wits end here. I don't like confrontations and avoid them at all cost but I'm getting to the point where I don't think I have a choice but if I go off on them who's to say that they just put me further on the back burner. How would yall handle this?

 

[Newman]

That's complete bull shit that they keep putting you on the back burner since they have already spent your money you've payed. I'm the same way you are but same something when it gets really bad

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Yalls shirts look good.

 

[Newman]

James take this template to you local t-shirt maker and tell him to hook it up with this new design !!!

 

[bunkered13]

So who is driving their car the furthest? I saw a few talking about using a trailer so they dont count

Man I'm sorry I ask! All I can say is find another shop. Sounds like they are cheaping out on parts to me. Who has to build a motor 3 times to get it right?
