oh dang... so many ppl going there lolz

maybe i should try to bring my red FD there too ^^

i got hell alot of repairs on mine =/

 

give yoshiya a call. see what he can do. you wont be dissapointed

 

red FD is some guys who is having cooling and overheating issues. I was their when it arrived

 

I got the bad news call on Friday. Yoshiya and Yosuke managed to free the apex seals through the exhaust ports, but the motor still isn't making good enough compression to start. It has to be opened up to free the side seals ... and my repair bill more than doubled.

Good news is I just picked up a Power FC for it.

 

yea i was there. i saw your rotor, didnt look too great lol. but woohoo on the power fc lol

 

It appears that my milled 3mm rotors have side seals rusted into them. They're unsure if the rotors can be salvaged and I haven't seem them, but I guess you have. Yosuke said they aren't capable of doing that work to my rotor, but that I could take them somewhere else and see what could be done. That's a little easier said than done in my current situation and I wouldn't even know where to take them. A machine shop?

My apex seals are fine, though ... that's good ... but that complicates things since good used 3mm rotors are much harder to find. I'm in the process of working that out right now.

 

another *bump* for Yohsiya and Yosuke @ NeptuneSpeed/GarageRX

pic from another customer. she realized her s2000 was lacking oil and brought it to neptune for some maintenance. completely satisfied and felt confident after seeing the Weld s14 being worked on at Neptune.

 

At least spell the guy's name right.

 

ah shaddup :P

 

pshaw =

 

pfft. you're not if you post back with

 

hahaha. yeah our Weld's 240sx was being worked on there. =P

 

 

yummy weld car =D

 

bump =D

 

Yosuke said they'll get to work on building my motor this week. Everyone pray that nothing else is wrong because this whole operation between shipping, removal, seals and cut rotor replacement, etc. has cost me over $5k. (Oh sure I added a Power FC to it but whatever!!) And the motor that wasted away in it was a newly ported rebuild with 3mm seals before it sat and rusted. So yeah, I'm a little anxious for nothing but good news at this point.

yay.

 

oh nice! hope all comes out well =)

 

Thanks!

Motor is done ... car starts ... but it idles around 2000. Yikes. We think it's finding air somewhere. I'm going down there tomorrow to take them my Power FC and see if we can figure out what's up with the idle. I'm starting to get a little excited.

I don't think it's been put in gear at all so still keep your fingers crossed that the tranny didn't rust like the rotors did.

 

oh thats good news! yea lets hope all goes well again ahahha

 

Can he tune microtech?? I've been looking for a tuner here on the west coast, plenty in Florida but not many around here.

 

I paid for it over the weekend ... I was so excited to go pick it up today. But I've been denied.

It seems that my engine harness is effed. This all started several years ago in North Carolina when I needed my engine installed and the place that I was advised to take it to ended up hiding my car from me and stripping it. I did get back my new motor, but all of my aftermarket parts were taken and a lot of motor parts were missing. They raped my harness when removing the blown engine and I'm apparently paying the price for it ... still.

Water temp is reading really really low. Tranny won't allow the car to go past 3000 in gear because of a presumed bad reading from the TPS ... I think that's what Yosuke said. It's an auto. Had all of this not happened it wouldn't have been an auto still a really long time ago.

 

dang u were advised to take it to a place and then they were trying to hide it from u? whoever told u to go there is fishy haha

 

Well the same thing happened to this guy's car, too ... at the same time. They had done work for him and other rotary owners in the past, but I guess came upon hard times. Obviously the shop doesn't exist anymore but I'm still learning the lesson today.

 

yeah at least now hopefully things can be done the right way now with a trusting guy like yoshiya

 

I met with Yajima-san today. An awfully nice character, and he took a look at my car and took it for a test drive. Had about an hour to talk to him, and since I literally live down the street, I suppose I'll be stopping by quite often. He certainly seems to be confident in what he's doing, and I will trust that he will take up the responsibilty of standing by what he says.

As for Go-Racer, reading your previous pasts as well as this one, you seem more competent with your car and whats going on with it than the average forum surfer, and with an experience that makes you feel was detrimental to your car, I'd be upset too. Especially in the car world, we have naught but the opinions of others, hearsay, and some technical data to work with. So views will often conflict. I went in today and had him look at my blow off valve, and he suggested that I could take it off altogether.

In any case, if you feel that you did not have a fair transaction or interaction, you should certainly stop by and explain your situation. He seemed quite reasonable when I met him and I'm sure that he would do what he can to upkeep his reputation. It stands true in business; the (rational) customer is always right.
