OK

Well i had to wait for a bit but i decided not to take any legal action at this point it would be to expensive on my end being out of state and so on..

First off let me just say that i am NOT bashing anybody i am just documenting my experience.

I will post a longer version it is a lot to type and of course i have plenty of pictures i will post just give me a few they are on my hard drive im not at home right now.

Long story short in my opinion i got screwed at Rotorsports, intentionally.

1. I payed for a streetported engine that WASNT ported (well it had a "clean up" port) i always wondered why the idle was so smooth brian said he tuned out the choppy idle.

2. I payed for a "coolant jacket mod" that supposedly enlarged my coolant jackets to help keep the engine cool. Was never done.

3. I payed for a BRAND NEW racing beat flywheel and counterweight and a rebuilt transmission. I got a flywheel off of a turbo 2 rx7 with stock counterweight. The transmission whirred in first three gears since i got it.. well i dont have it anymore because he put the flywheel on with bolts with nuts on the back that loosened under BREAK IN driving and eventually (within 600 miles) came lose and destroyed my clutch, pressure plate, cracked the flywheel and locked up the transmission.

4. I never got more than 1500 miles out of BOTH of brians builds.. and he did not want to work with me without me paying and threatened to get a lawyer involved when i started posting my experience on here.. well i took it to threeface racing and they took all the shredded bits out (ceramic seals failed) scrapped my engine because it was ruined bought a used one rebuilt it with super seals, tuned it and its been running great for 2500 miles now with 1000 miles or so hard driving.. no problems. how did threeface get it running so good? well they said there was an issue with the ignition timing (doug at topspeed said the same thing but the damage was done) so they advanced my timing a little and bam runs like a raped ape. Brian basically tuned my engine to detonate.

When its all said and done Rotorsports got 14 grand or so from me half the **** i never even got or it wasnt done right.. and i had to pay 2500 to replace drivetrain parts and another 8 grand to threeface to get an engine in and tuned so i can have my damn car back. i will NEVER take my car anywhere near that place again and wouldnt dare to recommend them ive heard he is shady other people have had problems with that shop but unfortunately i didnt know better until the money was spent i will never see that money again and i am not trying to beat a dead horse i just hope the next guy can read and learn from my mistakes.

i will post pics shortly.
