no **** he's shtuting down "his shop"

he only had ONE rotary mechanic, skip. so when skip quit, he had NO CLUE how to even TOUCH a rotary.

i went out to ask him if he had certain parts, he had NO CLUE what i was talking about when i was asking about "upper intake manifolds" and **** like that.

the guy is:
1) EXTREMELY rude
2) an *******
3) knows NOTHING about rotaries (except how to value things twice as much as they are worth)
4) THINKS he knows EVERYTHING about every car ever made

You're joking right? There's no four rotor in there.

30K!?!?! That includes shipping right?!??!? Wouldnt know where to begin with all that, but it sure would be priceless moment to see the look on my parents face when all of it showed up at their house and I said "mom,dad, I need a little more space in the garage. " lol

Dealing with this guy is a total pain in the ***. I was supposed to get an ignition switch from him for 20 bucks. I spent 3 weeks trying to get said ignition switch from him, drove out there 3 ******* times, because he said he would have the switch for me, and when he finally had it out of the car, he didn't even give me the electrical part of the switch!

My friend bought a motorless 2nd gen from this guy as well. Let's just say trying to get the title from him was more than an exercise in frustration as well.

I wouldn't deal with him unless you have cash, and a truck, and you drive to Post Falls Auto to go get the ****. I also have a feeling that a lot of those rotors, housings and motors are just junk anyway, after talking to the guy and looking about the shop.

i doubt thats a 4 rotor , thats prolly just 2 motors stripped and sitting close together
knowing skip he would not throw a 4 rotor in that package but sell it seperatly for prolly 30k by itself

Gregs- IoTus and I got to oogle that Miata. It IS stripped to the bone, but there IS a N/A 3 rotor in it. (what's the point of that??? It didn't even run, and they had no idea how to make it run when Skip left!!

What else are they selling? I can't link to Ebay from work.

I agree 100%

When we were looking at his Ford truck the first time he was courteous and showed us around and showed us all the work he put into it, but when we came back a month later and were curious what else he had done to it, he was VERY rude. I was going to buy seats from him but decided not to, cause he was so rude.

Oh, and 6k for a bareblock 20b is ridiculous!!!
