Someone emailed the club some information on him and where he was working out of. I'm not posting it, but if anyone asks I will share privately. (What you do with it then is your business, including posting it here!)

i go to his house and hes washing his bike, he sees me pull up in my fc and begins asking me wat i planed on doin with it.

at the time he really seemed more interested in the bike, well he said a job that i thought would take almost 2 months he could do in 2 weeks right...!
a complete rebuild with turbo new everything almost.
i dont know y the hell all u guys fell for his **** this guy clearly knows nothing of rotary tuning.
he might be able to do some internal work thats it!
Hes clearly full of **** trust me i know guys just like him.
they brag and talk **** and wen it comes down to it theyre just trying to scam someone.ya herd,
he told me that he works on rx7 at his shop A1 superheads and sais he has worked on the fastest rx7 in houston....??? please i felt like slaping his dumb ***!!!
he said give him money up front to start workin on it, yeah sure i will...
them all of a suden those 2 weeks turn to months and years...
and he finally scams u out of 5 or 6 grand!

well one last thing to the guy who bought his red t2.

so this guy pretty much got away with $2300 and destroyed your FD and is still in business.. well if the legal system doesnt follow through, you have to resort to a non-legal resolution you know where he lives..

I understand that there may already be individuals who have taken that approach...

Trust the guys in the local club (RX Club of Houston - Welcome to the RX Club of Houston Website)

We are a pretty tight knit group and shady people get weeded out pretty quick.

Just beware of random people offering services or presenting themselves as experts. There aren't many GOOD builders in Houston and even fewer people who can tune.

met this guy at the last IFO in Baytown, had a nice red corolla he was racing (probably with all the money he's been stealing) and a week later was talking with some puertorican friends about the cars at the show and mentioned the corolla and everybody was telling me to stay the hell away from this crookkkk!

Even us puertoricans need to stay away from this guy! LOL

Im still confused on the story with this guy and how he got mixed up in the rx7 community? I wonder if he knows hes been blackballed and labeled as a thief ...im pretty sure word gets around he must know by now...
