Yup, Build started in October and still haven't received it yet, whats worst is it's all paid for too. But I'm waiting to speak to him, if that day ever comes.
...
so I've been hearing, but I'm the one living it. Just waiting to hear what he has to say, if he ever, Better yet, I just want my engine

BDC
Yep, unfortunately what Keith is saying about his engine taking forever is correct. I've had his engine here for quite some time. Even though some of it isn't honestly my fault, it is up to me to have it done timely and it hasn't been. I've dropped the ball on it. I'm a slight-bit overwhelmed with work (sometimes both a blessing and a curse). This kind of thing has happened two other times in the past 6 years and it's not stuff I am proud of. I wish I had a perfect record but I don't and it's my own fault. Not much else to say other than it's up to me to make it right and get it done as soon as I can.

Guys, thanks for the reassurance. I do feel more confident that things will get better now. My last intentions was to bring this to the forum, but after only being able to get to BDC once in a while and with no results for a fully paid engine build, I was honestly in doubt and frustration.

What I am in no doubt about, is with Brian as a builder/rotary specialist(thats why I picked him) .

I would just like this build over with and I do feel it has been too long, too many promises of when it suppose to get done and what not.Not to mention seeing other jobs being finished before mine. I wont beat a dead horse any longer though, it makes no sense.

Brian, Thanks for emailing me, I will reply later on and hopefully you can give me a final date for when you will be finished with this build and when the motor can be shipped.

Thanks again Guys!!!

...

Well i hope So. I left an email for him, but he hasnt replied. So i'll see what happens and update this thread

...

I'm glad you can reach him, cause I can't. Maybe I'm not that important of a customer for him to take my calls. I have so much to negative things to say right now, but I'll leave it like that. I'm hoping that Brian will get this done asap. But i'll tell you one thing, I'll only be a sucker once, with something like this ever again.

Thanks Rich for the update. I guess I'll get this engine whenever it's convenient for Brian.

...

Well, I got a reply that nothing has been done to the motor because Brian is sick. What next................

...

Ok here is where I have had enough.

I have been here all these months trying to be calm and understanding to why my engine has not been completed. I really don't care what kind of good guy Brian is anymore, I could care less at the moment. I have been told/lied to that my engine will be finished over and over again. Actually, that is why he was paid in full in November, because he told me that my engine would be finished and shipped by a certain date.

This is to Brian:

I am sick of trying to reach you. You do not answer your phone and only answer selected emails. You have been telling me how the motor was delayed because the machinist was giving you the run around. BULLSHIT.... if you paid for a service to be done, then that person should not be giving you a run around. The only person here giving anyone a run around is YOU.

I am glad that I saved most of our conversations, cause I know I will be using it in the future. Every time you have a excuse about why you haven't finished my engine. Here is your ridiculous time line:

September 30th 2007 : Engine Paid for and sent to you
October 1st 2007: You finally pulled the motor and what not
October 10th 2007: Payment sent for rx8 shaft
October 23rd 2007: I sent payment for you to send out the parts to be balanced and milled.

We spoke in the beginning of November about how you would have the motor finished in 2 weeks. The following week I told you that I would be flying to Miami to meet the motor on the Week of thanks-given. I gave you all the address and what not, We spoke about the shipping cost and tuning and and painting the motor. You ensured that the motor would be finished and shipped.

I flew into Miami and sent Full Payment on the 23RD of NOVEMBER
I called to tell you that I sent the full payment, and I couldn't get you. Saw you online and you then told me that you hadn't got the assembly back from balancing!!!!
You gave me some **** and bull story that you will have everything ready for me in 2 WEEKS. I told you not to paint it cause we're waisting time.

Anyway, Moving 2 +weeks later (December 8th ish) I contacted you and you-told me you just sent the rotors out to get Milled. You will have together for me before Christmas plus you needed to finish up some more Porting!!!!. I reluctantly said OK. I told you we had to sort this out asap, because i have pending Sponsors, waiting for this car to finish.

December 17th 2007: You some-what finish the Port work and posted pictures!!

Tried calling you after Christmas and you would not answer your phone, you would not answer me on Messenger either. Sent you emails like crazy. You reply in January that you were trying to get me and some other guy off your back but the machinist was held up work on the milling. (how can you pay someone to do work for you, and when they screw up, they refuse to correct their work?) Only you can answer that Brian)

You even started an engine build after mine and finished it before mine!! What the hell?

You gave me the run around not answering my calls and emails. I got through to you in about the 3rd week of January. I told you how I felt you were taking me for a ride, and you told me how you were not like that. I told you I had a Paint booth booked for the middle of February for the car show that we spoke about you coming for, so that you can Tune the car. I lost my deposit for the booth because of you.(they only want driving cars, due to the amount of cars that are there). You then offered that you would pay for shipping. As if $200.00 dollars would mend months of frustration, spending money fly to the states and phone bills acquired for call and leaving unanswered messages.

You finally got the rotors around the 1st of February.

You wouldn't take my calls after that. You didn't reply to me until after I posted something on the forum. BTW; throughout all of this, I lost my main sponsor for someone else's incompetence.Then you came on the forum stating that you did "Drop the Ball" but as usual is wasn't really your fault. A contradiction by the way.

Now yesterday, you finally reply saying that you have accomplished NOTHING because you were sick. NOTHING Brian. I paid you to do NOTHING. Why does that not sound fair to me.

Well here's what sounds fair to me.: I WANT ALL OF MY MONEY BACK.EVERY DIME IMMEDIATELY!!!. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. I don't want this engine again, because I don't know if I can trust this build. I obviously cant count on you for your support if you send me a dud. I don't care how much people love your work, it could be the best Motor ever Built by man-kind. I want a FULL refund for EVERYTHING NOW!!

I was instructed, that I Should/Had to ask back for my money and wait for an response(if I get one) before, I can take this further, so here it is. You have 24 hours to reply. Actually I don't care if you do or don't. I think It's about time i took it up another level now.

In my eyes you have scammed me. You have taken payment and not given me my goods. You have taken jobs with your "overwhelm" amount of pending jobs after mine and finished them before mine, and still haven't finished mine. I don't care if your trying to sell your house and all that garbage anymore. You had an obligation that you never kept.

So folks this is where I am with this. The extra money I spent messing around with this build, I could have gone to a professional shop and had my motor months ago. But I was just too caught up on wanting a BDC half-bridge motor.

I really don't care who is with me on this issue. my aim was to to state the facts and post a time frame along with making my own statement.

It is a shame that you can not take even the most known and "respected" individuals in here for honest people anymore. One bad apple does spoil it for the rest.

-Keith

Brian,, We have been through this before. Promises after promises, what makes this any different. I'm not confident with your promises anymore.

I would like you to give me a date on the build completion and the date you will ship it out, All i would expect would be before the end of Next week.
