^ dam that is a crappy situation man. I feel for you. IF you don't mind what shop aped up the initial build it sounds like the really messed it up? Will need to make a mental note to stay the hell away from that place... These sorts of experiences really make those proven Buscher prebuilt engines look enticing hehe...

 

Well I had English Racing build the motor, and then Modified by KC in Kansas do the install. English has gone way beyond to help me out, and I wish I wouldve just shipped the car to them and had it shipped back instead of trying to get something close.

 

wow nick, can't believe your still ****ing with your evo. sucks bro.

 

ya... and the thing is... im not really getting much help from the shop that ****ed everything up. its pretty awesome im having to re-pay to have things done right.

 

Just spotted Ramanth's blue X. In Avon off Dan Jones. Anyway, Engrish Racing (lol) is an awesome shop from what I've heard. I guess stay away from that other place?
Sucks, I hate hearing about car guys getting screwed on parts or labor. The engine in my halfcut ended up being no good (crankwalk) and the warranty I was promised
I was told never existed after I showed them proof that the engine was shot. All in all, it seems like enthusiasts are always getting taken advantage of.

 

Ya its rediculous to spend over 20k in parts and labor, only to have the shop do a half *** job

 

Definitely so. I feel bad for you buddy. It's unfair and unjust if someone takes your hard earned money, and doesn't deliver quality work. I hope you get the situation resolved...

 

Nick that is crazy that your car is still out of commission. I don't know how you do it bro. My car has been running like *** forever now, but it runs lol.

Evo spotted at Andy Mohr Mitsubishi in Fishers! (oh yea, thats mine..just freaking sitting there) Chad the mechanic is trying everything he can to figure out why my car sucks at life and is running like crap. If anyone is in the area, u can just go by there and steal my car and get it running right for me please! I'd really appreciate it. I'm so over this crap. Considering just driving it off a bridge or something at this point.

 

^I'll trade you! Mine runs great!

 

Well, I got ahold of Performance Driven today. Brian, the owner, who I usually have only dealt with, has not returned an email to me since the beginning of last week. He is never at the shop when I call.
The guy I talked to today says they are now waiting on the crank sensor to show up.... We just waited a week and a half for the toner wheel and new sprocket to show up. Wouldnt you think that wouldve been ordered and there waiting?... Since the parts got delivered tuesday...
And the guy I talked to on the phone today was trying to tell me things they did, when actually Brian had done them 3 weeks ago... And he's saying that the new parts dont look and different and thats not what he thinks the problem is, unless the old wheel was bent...

WTF... if it was bent you wouldve been able to see it. Brian and ER both agreed the sprocket didnt match what was supposed to be on there.....

 

Cant believe Ive never seen or posted in here. Whats up Indiana guys.

 

welcome wheatley
Ive been checking out your build on the other forum, looks like its gonna be a beast.

What's up Wheatley! Hey this isn't the black 8 I see at Raymonds Alignment in Plainfield is it? Looks about the same.
