too much work to do what? you should explain your car and your situation


and any shop can deny work, its their right.

but if they're denying customers, they must be pretty well off.

last time I bring my REW13BTT engine to the body shop and tell them I want to build a FD and they said it's too much work too and they kicked me out.

That sounds a bit odd. Chinky7 have you tried dealing with any other shops? If they don't want to take your car then it's their loss of money. I'd go somewhere else if I were you.

sounds like a lost cause, is the car a total piece of shat?

drop it off at my place with like $15k. it'll do 10's on pump gas when i'm done.

chinky7

well, this is how it is, i got the car from this guy, and he said he did some work to it, and it ran, but NOT REALLY WELL, i got it for $1000 so it was one hell of a deal, o yea, its a 89 turbo 2. but yea, so i got it, i drove it home, the **** was LOUD cuz it was stright piped, and i dunno. it just ran, but it would die if the idle drops too low. so i got the car thinking i would spend like $2000 into it to fix up the engine and learn how to drift with it, but i took it to 2 local rotor shops, and they both turned me down!!!!! so i dunno what to do now, and i dont think its registered........i just moved here not too long ago, sooooooo dose CA have differant laws and ****? like how much would they charge me if i have a expired tag and stuff???

chinky7

o i forgot to add, the car came with the HKS f-con piggyback ecu, so that thing was like $1000 new, so i jsut one f*ck of a deal

GUITARJUNKIE28

i could fix it up but i'm in socal.

chinky7

OMG do you know anyone that is in Nor Cal that would do it for a good price?!

GUITARJUNKIE28

do you have a list of what the other shops told you the car needs?

if it has internal engine issues then $2k won't cover just the rebuild alone.

chinky7

mmmm im not sure. what the guy i bought it off of, he said he like rebuilt the f*ckin thing,...................sooooo i dunno, and the shop said theres too many variables to figure out, so how much do u think, i think its jsut better off if i get the whole motor taken out, and rebuilt. i think thats the only way to garentee that its no problems

RotaryEvolution

iTrader: (30)

i doubt he rebuilt the motor and sold it for only $1k, parts for the rebuild alone would be close to that range.

for me to rebuild it and reinstall it without even looking at the other issues with the car it would be $2300+ and i am booked for rebuilds currently.

haha you must be dreaming for 2k to fix a fc. and yeah i think you'd lose that 2k driving that thing unregisterd around the street. california cops are known for ticketing your *** for the stupidest things.

chinky7

cool thanks, mmm, can u give me your info of where ur shop is? and stuff so i can check it out. thanks.

GUITARJUNKIE28

drop it off at my place with a big pile of money and i'll do a turbo renesis conversion on it

Paul at Rotorsport is a great mechanic and yes, when I was there last week they were up to their ears in FD and FC's.

Another alternative is Mike at Mr. Mazda in Cambell. He's a standup guy. 370-2328. And there's also PR Motorsports in Hayward.

chinky7

thanks you guys, your all great help, my cuzin took the car to rotorsports before, and the guy turned him down, so i dunno. maybe he didnt know what he wanted, but ill see again. see how much they will charge to rebuild the morot compleatly, and tune it to be stock again, or tune it with the F-Con in there. thanks again, can you guys plz post area codes for the phone # too, and if they have websites, plz post them too, cuz im really new to the area, and dont even know where a walmart is LOL so if you guys can do that for me, i would really apreciate that!!!!
