Studs are on the way tracking 9410803699300110127507

 

Thank you Mike but i thought we were only waiting on the solid dowels cause i was told we had the studs already. I’m a little confused but thank you, i appreciate the update.

 

Not sure but both come from the same place though. As soon as they arrive it's going together

 

 

I'm sure after these arrive (whether they are studs or dowels or both... nobody knows?), next week something else will pop up causing perfectly good reason for further delay.

 

There's also the fact that they're coming from Sam at elite, just becuase you have a tracking number doesn't mean your part is on the way. Hell it may not even exist.

Tracking number says the parts have arrived at the shop. Looking forward to hearing the engine is done as soon as possible now that they’re there

 

So sad to hear your car is not done. Man this is ridiculous. That shop sucks and the owner is full of excuses. These are the type of shops that we as a community need to stay away from. Some rotary shops are the cause of the rotary car having a bad reputation. They have a bunch of excuses and build crappy engines. They are more of a sales person than a rotary specialist.

 

Parts arrived, when’s it going together?

 

Also, john has not confirmed with me that they’ve arrived. In fact he hasn’t reached out to me at all. A buddy of mine showed me in a group chat which he is in with john shows him saying someone else’s studs came in . I need some better communication on your guys part 100% . My part in terms of money is all settled.

 

 

Wait, are you still giving them money? Dude, don't pay a dime until the work is done. You are just asking for more trouble.

 

 

And John was waiting on 5 sets of dowels not just yours and he did contact you

 

I still don't understand why $1400 was needed up front before the guy will do any work. At this point the motor should be built and delivered before any ore funds change hands. Shops tend to work faster when they know they won't get money beyond the initial deposit until they do some work. If they already have the money, they are easily incentivized to focus on the next job that will bring in cash vs the current job that they already have the money for. That's usually why these things drag out for so long.

Payment upon completion......

 

$700 up front for engine installation labor..... This is what you pay for at the end, not the beginning.

 

They need to finish your car already. Man I would never bring my car to that shop. They are pathetic. I encourage no one to bring a car there especially until this car is completed.

 

That's because shops nowadays have to take money from new work so they can finish old work. It's a giant pyramid scheme now at this point, and when old work needs to be done, they hit up customers for the next payment on their jobs...

(Recently got burned this way)

 

Don't over think it he's been waiting on studs that where shipped but weren't. Same as he's dealing with John john is dealing with parts suppliers. Studs finally showed up Friday expect the motor to start getting assembled.

 

Like I said, can't count on Sam from Elite for ****. I'd have been completely blow away if there hadnt been some excuse or bullshit attached to the tracking number and statement that work would resume once they arrived.

Unfortunately i was under the impression and convinced (and say convinced because i was very close to going somewhere else) everything was clear and that it was going to be done by the end of that week as stated.
sounds good Mike. Looking forward to being able to take home this fd this week. I have many people interested in being it’s new owner and need it running to do so. This will be my last fd for a while as i no longer want neither the stress or headaches that comes along w owning it and dealing with situations like these. I no longer have and will not make any time to deal w such situations anymore or again.

 

Great. ANOTHER rotary soul run out of the game by the vargas duo.

 

Yep. Jose Fuego almost got me out the game but I knew it was a mechanic problem not a rotary problem. I put 108000 miles on my oem engine before the painter took it on a joy ride with an empty tank. I am sure there are many stories just like mine and the OP. Kilo racing rebuilt my engine and I am a happy owner of a mint 93 rx7. I have ownership since 98.

 

Motor is done.

 

His motor? Or some random other motor? Or a motor without all the stuff he paid for?
