Dude, take this guy to small claims court. Its about $35 to file, From his description i doubt he'll even show. The courts will write you a check, and then they will go after him for collections. Easy as pie.

He seriously gave you a messed up motor. If you dont take him to small claims court, your a fool...

I hope you do SOMETHING about this

Wow, what a portjob

The forum is here for research. If you see a questionable builder, ask around, and do your homework before throwing down money.

I hate thieves and scammers. The good guys lose their business, and the scum get rich.

Gary....

This dudes a total ******* man. 9 years ago...yes 9. This ******** promised to get my N/A FC started when I was about 17yrs old...straight noob to Rotaries.
Dont ask but I had just purchased the car and it ran a downdraft Mikuni carb with 48 ida.

It sounded really loud under the hood with this setup but still ran. He promised to kill some of the noise and quiet it down a bit as it was straight pipe and was quite brutal as far as noise.

Droppd my car off, paid some rediculous price for the work..somewhere around $600, and in the end he took my Mikuni and switched it with a OEM four barrel carb I think from a first gen.

I do hope this *** goes down for all his shadiness. There's other stories I got about this chump, but I'll save it...thinking about it makes me mad all over again.

Sucks man. I just got scammed by a guy named Martin... this guy claims he knows all kinds of people in the industry, basically he took money for a custom turbo kit I wanted for my friend's car and ran off with it, now I'm in the process of finding him. I guess he's been doing this for a while because he moved to the east coast because he was scamming people there then has moved back here to do it all again. I can't believe people would do things like this. I wanna punch all scammers in the f*cking face and then make them bite the curb. Atleast you know this Gary guy is still in LA

Wow, I didn't read all of the posts, but how in the world does this guy still manage to have his face and limbs intact? I'm surprised he hasn't been roughed up to the point of submission
