Yikes - that totally sux! Hope you get your car soon. Best of luck!

 

I know you're tired of hearing names and places to take your car but check it out and call them 317-733-8442.http://www.ssc-das.com

 

Wow, for $65K I could have two whole cars (plus the one you started with.)

Why didn't you just buy a Viper?

 

Obviously you could have not foreshadowed this ongoing nightmare, although why didn't you choose something more reliable that has proven to be consistent like comptech or vortech superchargers. Won't get 500hp but its still crazy fast.

 

Because he wanted a project. Unfortunately he took shortcuts that cost him dearly. Dealing with people you don't know is a good way to get screwed. He tried it 4 time:
1) the first shop blew up his engine then stole from him
2) Mike Simon (worked out great)
3) cjb80 worked shitty
4) honda mechanic f-d his engine

1 out of 4 aint bad!!

The problem is these projects take money and just like gambling if you aren't willing to lose it all you shouldn't play. The problem isout of the 4 on this list Mike Simon was the only proven one. He had a crx with 900+ HP on the F20C and many built F20C engines. So you could feel comfortable going with him. The rest of these tards will are heresay and bullshit claims....seems to run rampent in the import tunerzzzz crowd. I would have talked with Mike Simon about who built is CRX's turbo kit and then had him recommend a turbo kit developer after seeing the quality of his work. He seems like a very stand-up guy.

Live and learn, but it sux to learn by blow 65 G's. Good luck man and God bless.

This just goes to show that when taking on such a lofty project, you need to do A LOT OF RESEARCH before committing to something like this.

You just don't go out there and start throwing money around at whomever "sounds like they know the deal"

Although a lot of this could have been avoided in the first place, I will still say I'm sorry for everything that has happened, and that I hope you get everything worked out...

 

A little research into engines and turbos would have saved half that money. I personally do not spend a dime on something I don't at least halfway understand and if it's more than 200 bucks you better believe I'll know that product inside and out. I wanted to buy a surround sound amp awhile back, I went out and learned what 5.1 meant how to hook it up and which one was the best value for my money before I walked in the store. Don't go on hearsay most of the time it's wrong ie 130 shot on a stock car. Research is your friend it does nothing but make you a better consumer and of course save money.

 

Ditto... but in the future you might want to consider Stage 6 Motorsports. They're in North Florida and Dwight is one of the most gifted mechanics on the planet and has worked on a lot of turbo S2000's in addition to developing the the 'Speedcraft kit'. (904) 777-3250

 

Your simple, unemotional narrative of events greatly emphasizes how severely you've been wronged. You seem to be past anger and onto a level where closure is the most important thing. I think it hits home with many of us who want something just a little faster, just a little better---there's risk involved, especially when dealing with unknown people. Also it shows that there are good guys out there willing to back their work. I don't know where i'm going with this but let me tell you that there aren't many threads like this that I read every word of. I hope the best for you. And remember, there WILL be worse days, keep your chin up.
