So he has time and shop space to work on his own car, but not a paying customer’s? Also, how much can he respect someone else’s ride if he doesn’t respect his own?
The best part is this is the only comment you choose to defend against.
What an absolutely appalling business model.

Wait, you got an oil pan? When Addicted sold me a 10,000 dollar motor and I waited two years (and spent twice that 10 grand) to get the car running, I didn't get an oil pan!
My veiled message: Count your blessings.If it's got good compression, be glad you got anything at all. The few rotary shops left are playing Monopoly these days..

Id like to think that voicing my troubles wouldn’t cause any mischief in terms of the build especially to remain professional. We are not teens or immature adults (i hope) . Although i’ve voiced taking my business elsewhere, they’ve completed my engine already (fine with me) and i would prefer to keep any issues of my car handled by them so it doesn’t void my engine warranty if someone else touches it.

Breakdown of cost would be helpful.
Rebuild Cost?
Parts Cost?
Total Cost?

Yeah i here ya on that. I’m trying to stay positive by these kind of responses but don’t get me wrong i’m indeed frustrated still.
-Engine rebuild w porting - 2500$
-Oversized studs + machining (what we were gonna go w back in 2017 but now 2019 and Elite studs are available so we went w those) - 470$
-Housing Resurfacing - 300$
-Rotating Assembly Balancing - 370$
-Engine reinstall labor (mind you i actually ended up being there and helped dropping it into the car even tho thats what i paid the shop to do) - 700$
-Everything in the invoice below paid for too.
Total given to shop 5,566.13 and don’t currently owe anything (All other parts like turbo kit, fuel kit, etc, i sourced and brought myself)

Be kind, Redline!
Seems legit, I’m subbed just to see how well the motor holds up. I think you should hire a video editor kid to help the YouTube channel and help around the shop. He’ll pay for himself and maybe the YouTube **** will pay for more help.. Also, how the **** is John gonna be in the business of building rotaries and not be a member of the OG rx7club? This is where it started..
