That's a long sentence

Glad to hear you are getting it worked out though.

You know when I saw you post this over in the NE section I didn't want to respond cause I don't want to get wrapped up in the ensuing flame war, but now that I see your whoring this thread all over the place I have to add my $0.02.

Of course Peter is going to suck your dick, what did you expect? He's so desperate for business, and some free positive advertising that I'm surprised he's not installing it for free too! What he did to screw Gordon and the rest of the community is despicable, and the fact that you would continue to patronize him after the results from the trial are in is almost as bad.

pfs did tune the PMS right?

anways, how did the motor pop? age, abuse, both? or was it a combination of maybe faulty something or another and poor air fuel?

Well In Ryans defense Peter did not rip off anyone. Nor should Ryan be ashamed for patronizimg PFS. I had a long disscusion with Peter today about the whole Monsen/Duff thing and from what I saw I can't see where Peter or his shop PFS did any wrong doing.
Honestly I feel like a dick for talking **** about Peter Farrel without taking MY problem up with him personally. I should have called Peter the min. I felt like I was treated poorly to give him a chance to explain or at least defend his position. Peter is a Honest guy from what I can tell. He certainly has the paperwork to back up what he says. I for one am giving him a break and a formal apology for giving his shop such a hard time here on the forum.
PFS is a good local buisness. I'm glad that I once again I can proudly say that my car was worked on by Peter Farrell Supercars. World class tunning right next door.
I want to thank Peter again for taking 2 hours out of his day to speak with me and set things straight.

Now all you naysayers can start blasting...

You know I asked the same question in the NE section but in a little less accusing way, and more as a question and he kinda skipped over it.

I don't know if he was avoiding me or the question? It seems everyone in the NE section is avoiding me lately.. hmmm..

I take it he's probably not sure since it just happened and he just pulled the motor but he kinda knew he was on a fine line with A/F ratio so I was wondering if he got that fixed before this happened or was still running at 12.5:1 A/F.

Ryan, I am not insulting your judgment, knowledge or your car, it just seems kinda fishy that the engine went about a week after you got it tuned by PFS. You say Peter is a cool guy and his tuners are great but your two posts don't say that. You are going down to have fuel cut fixed and he retunes you one week with a lean A/F (6/28/02) and then the next week(7/06/02) your engine blows. Does that really make me want to go to PFS for my tuning needs?


Either Peter is a hell of nice guy, tuned it a little lean to get the most out of it, and he's trying to make friends or he's trying to drum up business by having people break stuff and saying "while you're at it why don't you do this, this, and this".

Just my .02

I'm still not sure what caused the motor to pop. But I won't speculate that it was PFS tunning.

Wow it almost seems like Ryan figured out your password. JK. Peter is a nice enough guy just doesnt have the best customer service skills I guess. I dont doubt that he knows his ****.

hey, ryan!!! i just pmed you then i saw this thread. thats awesome that you get the "hook up" like that. JERK!!! haha. why cant i live next door to a reputible shop. haha. oh well, i guess im destined to learn everything by myself. . .. well, i take that back. tennessee has a pretty good arsenal of rotorheads. . . we all try to stick together. well, have fun with the car!

you guys that are blasting pfs need to understand that there are probably some circumstances that you are ignorant of. i dont know what they are, but you guys might be making a light subject a bit heavier. ive never even called pfs so i cant really comment on this. i just know that you guys like to bash his business. i wouldnt try to burn bridges with a guy that might help you out one day at the track!!!

ouch

I agree with the others...i can admire the fact that he would be warrantee the motor on his most vocal forum member and supporter.

I really think that if any shop was in the same situation that they would do the same thing. Keep their best customers happy and lotso good feedback gets spread on the forums...

blow up your most vocal customers car and not take care of them and **** hits the fan on the web.

its a good deal...if you consider that all the downtime without the car due to what sounds like shoddy tuning is a good deal.

let us know what the situation is...why the motor popped...

sorry to hear about the problem...dealing with a new motor and all the things that ya have to do once its in can be a hassle....but once its in and done right you then life is good and the sun shines even when its cloudy!

good luck with the port...you will like the high end gains a lot.

Though...non seq with a streetport is a total drag IMHO...you are gonna have no low end at all unless that port is very minimal...or you go with a diff turbo setup. Driving on the street is gonna be no fun. hehehe...driving on the highway will be where your smiles happen.


j

was it an apex seal?? side seal???...whats the deal? Id bet on the apex seals huh...after the tuning??

I know I was.

you didnt answer any of the questions....

I know your situation sucks...Ive lost a motor myself...on two occasions...but I never lost a motor because of someone elses shoddy work.

why did your motor blow?

things were out of place? wtf does that mean? Missing bolts....vacuum lines crossed??

Did their work cause your motor to blow?

An honest answer would be appreciated and would shine light on this situation.

you are very vocal and you will get asked many questions. You put yourself in the position of the PFS champion on these boards and now your horsey went to the heavens. because of that Id like to know what happened. If you dont want to share...keep your frusteration off the boards and dont try to sell free motor work as a good deal if that very shop caused it.

every post you make has that pfs tuned and supported fd on it...now people want to know what happened...why does it seem that your new sig should say "PFS tuned and Booomed"?...or Oh Rikki youre so fine...your so fine you blew your shi# up.

sorry to seem rude...but, mr rikki the man...if you stopped for a second to think and put that ego in the place it needs to go...you would see that you are now in the same situation that we have heard so many others in before. The hardest part is obviously standing your ground and supporting those who you have been working with on your car. That is respectable...honestly it is.

at least your motor will be built at cost or less...that is awesome...and that will keep you from staying up all night freaking out....definitely that part of it is worth thanking them for...shoddy work is not worth thanking them for and only brings up questions

its a wierd position you seem to be in...happy that someone can fix your dream car...yet it seems that you are in that situation because of what they did or what they installed...or other.....unless you were abusing the car on your ill fated weekend. It seems like ya got screwed...but they give ya the reach around now so you are happy about it. lol.

you are obviously frusterated...I know exactly how ya feel...Ive been there...so have many of us...Id have kept my words to myself...but you attacked and so I speak my mind.

I hope you get things worked out...you have been a knowledgable forum member here and I appreciate reading your posts....but attacking those who did NOT fark your car up doesnt help your situation.

good luck

Artguy dont be such a dumbass. He just got the car to his house a few hours ago. It's not like Ryan is going to pull it tonight so you can find out what blew his motor.I'm sure he will tell everyone as soon as he finds out if he even does. I picekd up his reman today. So he won't be cfracking open the old one because the core has to be turned in. So just chill out.

just wondering rikki, i mean, we've talked on the phone and held a couple of good conversations, but i have to know.......

with your thread, you knew that you would get this type of response......

hast thou Rikki gone yon way of AArotary for a while....just curious b/c of the lack of your sometimes seemingly omniscient presence......

(in no way comparing your charachter to that of AA's)

peace....oh and, i hope this thread does not get locked...

with the constant defense for PFS and all the 'plugging' for their shop, certainly conveys personally 'subconscious' thoughts about the quality, integrity, and even charachter ot the previous work preformed...

just a thought...........find the true feeling. don't defend b/c of one or two *hook-ups*.....just step back and try to take everything in. that is what i would do. trust me, if my motor popped tomorrow, i would post it, and then ask myself why a fully built and tuned motor from pettit would blow.....

Jodeny@hotmail.com
First off you start out by flaming Ryans age (22) btw. Which is against forum rules.2ndly when your getting free dyno time and performance tech support and parts. You can talk about not wanting outside support. But since you are mislead and not shy to say it. Ryan is not getting PFS to rebuild his engine. They are porting it out for free and setting and tunning his car for the Drag on Aug.18th. This is Peter showing support for his loyal customers.I guess your telling me you wouldn't take a free port job and tunning. Because you would do a better job than PFS huh? As far as Peter switching engines on GMonsen. I saw the original invoice for the job qoute today. I held it in my f-ing hand. It said very clearl;y "USED" engine. GMonsen knew all along about what he was getting. Have you seen the paperwork?
Or are you just reitterarting what you read on the internet?
Then you go on to bust Ryan out on his spelling.. Sorry guy but thats my job!!! Ryan makes no excuses for his spelling..
Then you state that Peter is very cold but an OK guy. What the F does that mean... He took you on a date and wouldn't talk to you but tickled your *** at the end of the night? WTF your comment made no sense to me Sorry. Peter hired a lawyer with no stage presence. Also his lawyer had no knowledge of cars. Peter was suing for defemation. He wasn't expecting to need a lawyer that could argue technicalities of turbo systems and Rotary engines. There is really alot to this that you don't know about so your comments looks silly. You read the internet way to much .....As far as "Older adults" reading "crap" that Ryan posts. This is where you really sound like a jackass. You can only speak for yourself . How do yoiu know what other people read? Thats just ignorant to even make that asertion. We just went to a BBQ with about 30-40 RX7 owners and Ryan was quite the Celebrity there if I may say. So your little point doesn't really hold water here with me. We will make our a respectful way when you learn to do the same. Get over yourself dude.

Bro, go back to grammar school and buy a vocabulary book. I can't respond to this because I am laughing my *** off at it. You don't make any sense. Stupid and ignorant is no way to go through life. Is there something in the water in Maryland??

Cut the guys some slack Jon we're just getting too old to understand their new vocabulary. I mean these guys are real innovators, Rikki, "money", "show", all the cool kids are talking like that now, didn't you know?

Anyway, how is it that a jury of Peter's peers (that's 12 different individuals) can all come to the same conclusion, that Peter was liable for violating the VA Consumer Protection Act, and of commiting fraud, and yet you still believe he's innocent? I don't even want to hear about these magical documents that prove his innocence, it's all bullshit to me at this point.
