I dont know if Jerry Strickland is involved with rx7's anymore, or if he even visits this forum, but if he does I'd like to send him a big . I recently took my car to a forum member coolcars44, who by the way is one of the nicest, most informed rx7 owners i've ever met and found that not only did he steal things from me during the rebuild i received from him, but he also mixed S4 components with my S5 car. This came as a shock to me, but the biggest shock was that he put an S4 in my car during the rebuild and took my S5 motor. So, if you are reading this jerry, **** YOU!

 

WTF that is BS!

 

wow...dude, definitely do something about that. total bullshit.

 

i do believe blood would be shed if it happened to me.......

 

^Unfortunately I didnt find out about the motor until this week. The motor was rebuilt 2 yrs ago and still has the S5 lower and upper intake manifolds on it, so I figured it was still my S5.

 

oh, well then ****, theres not much of a recourse now.

 

Man everyone I know except for one person who took him a car, bought a car from him or whatever regretted it. Myself included on an old '85GLS I had which I sold after he screwed with it.

 

All I'm gonna say is... he's who sold my car to the guy who sold it to me. I'm pretty sure the guy who sold it to me said Jerry painted it, too. My car's visible PROOF that Jerry is a bad, bad man.

 

call the better business bureau, get him shut down

 

:smiley_12 Lynch Mob Is In Order!

 

dude yeah coolcars44 is the absolute best, he has the best prices and know all the tricks with these cars. hes supposed to be coming up to the drive in today. if you ever need anything, talk to him. i would vouch for any of his work at anytime. seriously. he ******* rocks.

 

Did this Jerry guy own a shop or did he just do it as like a side job?

 

Yeah, it was called Clean and Fast I think. Was out US1 north for a while, then moved somewhere else and was building a shop that was going to have on the grounds an 1/8 mile track and who knows what else. He was also into some other business that I think had to become his main source of income since things weren't working out on the repair side. I think he eventually just gave up on it.

 

also, 90verty...
you may want to rephrase this post, it sounds like coolcars44 is the *** your talking about, but its some one else.
if anyone is reading this...COOLCARS44 IS MIKE, JERRY IS SOMEONE ELSE!!!

 

Ok thought so. Apparently he was the one who worked on my car when the previous owner had the car such as putting in a "rebuilt" motor. Over the course of restoring the car we have come acros some very questionable things, really messy wiring, missing engine undertray causing overheating, motor was junk with only 7k miles on it (couldn't even get it apart to rebuild it, I had to get a new motor), etc. Thankfully the car is doing much better now.

 

wiring issues in yours, too?

Friends don't let friends go to Clean and Fast.
