So I got him to build me an s5 streetported motor. We setup to where I send him the money in payment plans and he ships the motor to me. We settle on a deal of $2000 for the motor shipped. Well we go back and forth about the motor and finally he starts the process. It has been over six months and still no motor. He makes up a bunch of excuses and still can't get me the motor. Finally after the long enough wait for him to build it, he says it's finished he just needs to save up some money to ship it. I gave him the money for the motor already which included the price of shipping. I shouldn't have had to wait this long for the motor much less for him to save up money he appearently spent already. He said he will through in some extra turbo parts to make up for the time and head ache. Well still no motor because he doesn't have the money. We end up driving to his place to pic it up. Not only did the drive suck, we also caught a flat on the way there. We get the motor and the parts, it was dark and we were tired from driving so we talk a little then leave. It was my fault not to check the motor or parts before leaving but found out later at home I was in for a little suprise. The motor wasn't finished being built. One exhaust stud was stripped and I couldn't get it out. Another was missing and the port job was horrible. Chunks of metal were just floating in the oil that was on the inside of the motor. The parts he gave me weren't useable so that was garbage. I sold the motor to a guy on here, not knowing about the interior condition of the motor until after he buys it. It turns out the housing were screwed, the rotors were rusty, and some of the corner seals were missing. I paid the guy the money back to fix the motor so he could get his car driving. David said he will not pay us the $800 we gave the guy because he claims it was a perfect motor. Myself, my friend, his dad, the guy on the forum and his mechanic all looked at the motor and new it was crap. David just slapped this motor up to someone who didn't know much about rotaries and ran away with the money. I don't advise buying anything from the cheap SOB. Not only am I out of $2000, I am also out of $800 to pay the guy back, the money in gas we used to get the motor which he said he would pay back, I lost work time because I didn't have a car to drive, and just a lot of hassle. Save your money, time, and headache and don't deal with David.

Sorry for the book but I just wanted to warn others of this cheap SOB.

We are in the process of talking with the lawyer and taking it to court. I am taking all the pm's and e-mail's to have proof, along with all the pictures that were taken. I even told David just to at least send us $800 to just pay the guy back, or we will go to court and get the $2,000, $800, money for the gas, and something for all the headache and hassle. Because of him not getting me the motor when he first said he would, I lost a lot of work because I did not have a vehicle to drive. Lucky enough I worked with my cousin and wasn't fired because I was family. We will just have to see how it goes down in court, that's all.
