LUCKY 7 Racing aka- Lil Red- Fris best in the rotary community!
Ok to start off I know Fris from lucky7 since 2005 we have always done business and transactions since then but never though he will take care of me like he did. Until recently my series of events and career change has left me in a troubled situation.
Those that followed my build thread know I do all of my work. Thanks to Fris and Dave-RIP everything I know about rebuilding and porting is thanks to them. So I was building a monster streetported ALS sealed motor for my FD due to my previous stock ported 350whp motor breaking a few seals and trashing my turbo.
I will not name the shop due to their careless and shitty customer service that sold me a porting template. I recieved what was considered a "mild street port" template . So I went to town porting little did I know that porting template was a little on the large streetport side and I ended up screwing with the Side seal track.
Fast forward to my build I did it all by myself from pulling the motor,rebuilding, to dropping it back in by myself. She fires up the first try compression was 120s idled great and then it happened!!!! She died. Side seal broke seals went to ****, rear iron and front are trashed.
So i dropped close to $2500 in brand new parts for this build and lost it in less than 10 mins. I didnt even drive the car.
My luck this happens in the worse time.
1- I am moving out of my old house and putting everything in storage
2- I am reporting to a diffrent base for special military duties.
3- I dont have no time to even change the oil in my car if i had to, due to school,work,driving,and family life.
Fris aka -Lil Red- with his kind heart picked up my car the day after. Knowing he had no room he still did. Then it went on to the tear down where I lost half the motor in damages. Quickly we sticked to a plan and executed.
1- picked up my car over 100miles away
2- tear down
3- sourced a middle iron for me
4-rebuilt it
5- trouble shooted another issue with my turbo
But my credits dont stop there.
Francisco Declet aka FJDRX7
gave me a set of front and rear irons for FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
not only has he saved my *** but he has in the past too. When my motor blew he sold me a rotor and housing for practically shipping cost!!!!!! to help me and a fellow service member out.
So to recap everything for those that dont want to read the story.
Guy blows motor,
guy rebuild motor a lot of money spent
guy gets wrong template and screws porting up
guy blows motor wasting over $2500 plus parts and 10 days of leave vacation
Guys friend come to his rescue and helps him
Guy writes a cute story about friends.

Sucks to hear you had a bit of a rough spot lately. You were super nice when I meet you, when I picked up the interior in ocean side. Glad to hear things seem to be getting better.
