The reason the car had a 88 turbo on it in the first place was because the original turbo had been sent out to Turbonetics to get upgraded... Well there was miscommunication between Jeff and the customer and turns out the upgraded turbo wasn't in the budget.... so we have a problem..... The only spare turbo I had laying around that i could use was the 88 turbo....I did however port thh 88 turbo wastegate and eliminate the anti lag actuator , and flap door free of charge....The turbo being a 88 did have the usual hairline crack , but we all know thats typical on those exhaust housings...I would like to point out the car did NOT have any exhaust leaks though

Discount anything I say? I only run the mazspeed.com site out of my pocket for free, and have been doing this a long long time. The turbo leaked oil, the exhaust leaked, the mounts were CRAPPY...There is no miscommunication with putting a 87 turbo on a 91 block. If you ONLY have one spare, don't you think you should tell the customer that "Hey.. we have this one turbo, but it's crap, and I recommend that you wait till we get the correct turbo for this setup. There was not one part of that install that didn't look like it was done with any professionalism. Hard word for you to understand I know. Like I said Robert.. I and others call you a liar, and a bad mechanic.. All you can do is try to brush me off, and try to sell more crap.. Congratulations, you have one customer out of 5 that like you.. Nice ratio.
http://mazspeed.bcrx7.com/forum/thre...id=5&page=1#16
BTW Why did you say you didn't work at mazdaracing.com? I'm still curious about that.. Let me guess.. everything is Jeff's fault right? You still can't take responsibility for your actions..

Mike D took pictures of the crap you sent him, and after looking at that stuff, I would have stopped payment too.. Like anyone needs rusty parts from something that doesn't work.. Don't you have any morels?

Mike

This is exactly why, I (and close personal friends) are the only ones granted access to work on my car. I was in the same boat as any new person working on cars. I educated myself on cars, and dove right in. Yes, there were up's and downs, but you learn from your mistakes and move on. Plus you get the satisfaction of saying, "Yes, I did that".

mazzy, thanks for posting the info for other members on the board.

-Error402
I have to agree with Error on that one...no one better than closer people to you that you can trust...this argument is still interesting though, but i keep it at home with the people I know and can trust

In case you didn't you didn't read my post explaining everything here it is again..... If you are still unclear on anything please let me know, I will do my best to clarify...As far as Quality goes if you check out my webste .... The pics. speak for themselves....


For clarifacation..... I am robert from www.Rotaryshack.com and just wanted to set the story straight..... I have had a shop for a long time..... Jeff had a website selling parts and asked if he brought me his customer's cars to install upgrades, i/c kits, engines, and other msc. repairs... i agreed.. i never did phone sales at any time for him.. I never did the internet thing.... that was his job.... Aftter finding out that Jeff had some unsatisfied customers and poor cust. service I decided that it would be in my best interest to terminate any bussiness dealings with Jeff.. Thats when i started Rotaryshack...For the internet sales, that way i would know what was going on ,I would be dealing with the customers directly....No middle man, no mis-communication and good customer service! Since Jeff and I terminated our relationship I requested that he remove any and all customer cars , pictures, videos that were mine or I built ...Thats why all the pictures and videos are gone from his site!!!I will take full responsibility for any customer that is unsatisfied that dealt with me when I worked with Jeff, if you are please let me know,... I will try my best to accomadate you....

Robert.. YOUR saying the same thing.. We know who you are. So since Jeff is not a mechanic, does he still get the blame for your bad work? All you did was cut and paste from the first page nto this one.. Is that good CS? You put my friends Car on your website, you know Dr Leung's car, the one I have been talking about.. The one that could have blown up, or the motor fallen out.. You STILL can't take any responsibility for your actions, and your not.. If I were you Id stop chatting on these forums, your only doing harm to yourself.. One more lie, and I'm going to have my write up on my site tongiht, with the e-mails and pictures of the crap you have sold to customers, and all the comments that everyone has said about you, and Ill put it on my frontpage.. STOP LYING!

Mike

wow...MAZZY i dont think Robert is a lier... I've spoken to him on the phone and was very helpfull.. He was selling an aftermarket bumper for a 3rd gen and i asked him if he has the 99 spec lights, he didnt have it but was nice enough to call people up even it was late at night. I've also aked him for advice and he was very helpful and knowledgeable.. Personally i have never met him but i did have a chance to meet JEFF in the past. I was going to buy a Jspec motor for my 87. I had doubts with doing business with Jeff so i didnt buy the motor. One thing i remember that Jeff had told me was that they have a very good mechanic (Robert) that does all the work for them...

Mazzy- If i were you i'd stop calling Robert a lier..

Well, I will say something here because this is getting out of control. I don't know about anybody else and thier complaints, but I have delt with Robert directly, face to face, and I found him to be very fair, very knowlegable, and accomadating. More so than any other rotary shop. He is a straight up no B.S. type of guy. Many of you may not like someone like that, I don't know, but I do. He has saved me personally allot of money, had I been forced to deal with the likes of Mazdatrix or any of the other well known rotary shops around here. Nothing against them, but they will not help you like Robert will... at least not me. When I had a problem, I asked him about it and it was resolved.
Robert is not lying when he says that he did not do the internet sales, he has always been stictly a mechanic. He had his own deal before Mazdaracing and now he is back on his own again.
I don't know who you all are but every vendor has a unsatisfied customer or two. That's why most of them stay away from these boards. Why mazzy has chosen to pick a bone here with Robert is another issue.

Like i said before, Jeff of MAZDARACING.COM had told me that Robert is only a mech. Jeff is the one that deals with customers. They go to Robert for mechanical service. I think Mazdaracing.com had a small bio about Robert at their website and you will see that Robert is strictly their mech. When you contact them Jeff or Jared is the one that answers the phone.

This is true, but when someone puts in the motor like he did, and the rest of the install, then you have to seriously look at the mechanic in question, and now that mechanic get's his own business, do you really want your car there? Yes I believe Jeff screwed over Robert, and I do believe Robert knows his stuff, but his workmanship and his ethics are also in question. I think it's great that Robert is fixing my friends car, in that way he is owning up to what he did, but I have yet to see the car 4 months after the fix.. We will see.. All I wanted to see out of the guy was some truth, and fix his workmanship issues..

After seing what you did do to him, Ill be very happy to see his car in tip top shape. But you keep pissing me off saying "I pride myself on good workmanship" That car I saw was really really bad. Show me something Robert.. I would owe people of this board an apoligy if I didn't speak up for the ones you did screw! BTW it's you that needs to apologize for your work..

*Putting down the popcorn for a minute *

Robert, can I ask a few question to try to get at the bottom of the mess here?

- did you install the engine with defective motor mounts and bad turbo?
- what is the status of that car today? Is the customer satisfied?

Mazzy, questions for you:

- is this a one-time event or are there other unhappy customers?
- who are the other unsatisfied customers nad what is their situations?

What's your deal Mazzy? Who the hell are you? I'd like to see you fix some guys car for free when it has nothing to do with any deal you made, only an associate of yours. What is your point to all of this anyway? Just like bashing people in public forums? Are we suppsed to believe you are the protector of all rotary finatics? You are going to save us all from the "evil" Robert? What is your angle? Are you just a trouble maker or you have a Jesus complex or what?
Its so easy to stand and criticize when you are on the sidelines and its not you footing the bill or breaking your back to fix this crap.
Its a simple story, Rotary Shack is Robert, Mazdaracing is Jeff. Now Rotary Shack is fixing a car for Mazdaracing because of an old affiliation and that's still not enough for you. That's like you working one place then leaving and working somewhere else but still fixing a screw up for the old place. How many companies do that? NONE!!! Well, there is one... Rotary Shack. After all this, if you were my customer I'd tell you to go F#&K yourself!
You know there is a line between stating an opinion and slander. I'd say your are very close to crossing that line.

Mazzy, questions for you:

- is this a one-time event or are there other unhappy customers?
- who are the other unsatisfied customers nad what is their situations?
when putting a 13B into a 12a car the motor mount must be slotted, this is the MOST cost effective and effective way to mount the motor. This according to "mazzy" is a "defective motor mount". The Turbo had the typical hairline crack between the two channels of the exhaust housing, this does NOT constitute a "bad" turbo....in fact the turbo was VERY effective in making boost and hauling ***!
the customer flew down to pick up the car, we drove the car around town until he felt satisfied...he loved how it ran, then he left to drive the car 375 miles away!!!!! well he made it!!!!!! if something was defective would he make it that far???? is there a better way to modify the engine mount modified???? please let me know, feedback counts

machinehead.. If I was your customer and you did that to me, I would be in your face. F#uck off is the LAST thing you would say to me.. I'm not stating an opinion, It's a fact, and I can prove this anytime you feel like it. Robert, when you mounted the motor, the slots were WAY over slotted, so far that the bolt on one side pulled though with those huge thin fender washers. The front cover was mounted with the incorrect bolts and you used 6 or 7 washers to fix that. Yes he did drive the car home, but it had an oil leak and almost ran it out of oil, and after sitting and idling for 5 minutes, the car sputtered and kicked, and oil poured out of the turbo manifold, plus the cracks were seen by myself and Andrew. So yes he did make it, but barley. I mean barley.. a few more miles and it would have burned to the ground, or the motor would have fallen out. Ask Andrew on this. Now on to the old customers.... Mikey D who bought stuff from you guys when you were at mazdaracing.com, and was sold a bill of goods that can only be considered as junk. Rusted junk at that. I too would have canceled my payment if that happened to me.. He was promised a bill of goods and Jeff can't tell what these things are, I'm only certain that you had a hand in his dealings since he doesn't know anything about cars. Boosted 12a has had problems with you. Piston Pounder has had a problem with you. KenA from this site has had problems with you. Felix said he had a problem with you. I have Roberts e-mails that lie point blank to me. So before you try and bash on me machinehead, you might want to look at the facts first. I am thankful that Robert is fixing his car.. If it was done right like he said, would it need fixing? Yes it made it back, barley, but is that the point? My point(s) here is that ever though Jeff is an idiot, and a thief, Robert is guilty by association. He never took responsibility for any of this except Andrews car. But with the rest at my site, and some of the unhappy people here, he has not. Robert still thinks he did nothing wrong and it kills me.
"Oh Im fixing his car but nothing was wrong with it kind of attitude will always get you this kind of response..
It's funny still.. I never got a response to why Robert told me that he was "NOT" a part of Mazdaracing.com. Care to explain that one, since you side step it everytime Robert?????????????
Proof sucks doesn't it Robert?

Mike

Talking about being a thief and irresponsibility. . . .

Hey Mike Bassi/mazzy/mazspeed, when are you going to send me the $39 you owe me for shipping my rims up to you that you wanted to buy. Then didn't pick it up at UPS on time, they got shipped back down to me. You said you'd buy them. They you bought Panasports instead and said you'd send me a check to cover the shipping charges. Well, that was over 2 years ago and that check of yours hasn't arrived yet. You've ignored my emails and phone calls.

I emailed you several times. You have my phone number because you called me and we talked about the rims and you said how Dellorto is an inferior carb like you always do, etc.... So don't lie and say you don't know how to contact me. You know I posted on your site and you could have contacted me that way too. Sheesh! Excuses!

You never replied to the several emails I sent you. I sent emails to the same address you used to email me asking me about my rims. You never followed through on your promise to send me the $39 you owe me for shipping. Irresponsible and a thief like you say.

I just PM'd you with the address to send me the $ you owe me.
