July 2014 COTMWe follow the earth. The earth follows the stars. The stars know their way and though the body dies. The stars will remain, like the waves of the sea and restless slate.
I did verify the timing before I had him prime the engine and fire it. You mis-read. I did not verify the timing after I he turned it over and it was kissing.
No I didn't. No one stabbed you in the back. You said all that black shit on the car was dirt... it wasn't. You said it was dirty because you pulled the cover off. Your camera hides A LOT! Look at the video. You keep repeating... it's dirty, that's dirt. You stated car was perfect and the only imperfection was sunspots on the hatch transition at the glass. In person it looks way different.
No one is being dishonest here man. It is what it is...
Where did the turbos I bolted onto the car come from? Were they on there origionally?
Did he give me videos, yes. He gave me a walk around, an interior, and an engine.
His walk around video... He keeps saying it's dirty and the only flaw is "the sunspots on the rear... " Can you see any damage? No. In person it looks way different.
Here's the video:
Do you see any damage?
Bill, you're playing the victim... Quit man. I did not feel comfortable staying at your place. The airfare, bags, car rental, meals, parts... That alone was $1000. I clearly stated I walked away from this deal... and now you're the victim? Also, you said the only thing disturbed on the vehicle was turbos and an ecu. That is not true.

Well it's a bummer, I can tell the car has more damage than just being dirty. Doesn't look that bad though. I agree with Chris, you got to expect the worst. Have it shipped, you can't trust a well built 3s some times so driving one with "tires I wouldn't trust" isn't a good idea. I would have had it shipped and with the money spent you probably could have had it shipped back and forth.
Oh well, good luck guys, I hate to see issues like this.
Again, I verified the timing before he fired the engine... this is the first crank. This engine was already damaged. First time turning it over...

ok man,im done with this because this will keep going back and forth all night and I have better things to do. once again im real sorry that things turned out the way that they did. I still cant believe that you would lie on me about showing me the timing marks. we even rotated the crankshaft by hand in the dark with a flashlight after we got back from dinner. and felt the resistance and heard the "ping" when the piston hit the valve. you taught me about this shit man. why dispute that? then you hung out talking about ecus and injector maps for another hour. man I really did not expet you to call me dishonest.
ok cool you didnt feel cumfortable crashing at my house fine, but dont bitch about paying for a hotel room. the only thing that thi car needed that I failed to disclose was vacuum lines and the hose portion of the turbo cooler lines. you did not use your oil of cooling lines. you reused mine and you helped your self to my neighbor's spray paint and pinted them black. you chose to add all of those other parts. I had good gaskets that you could have used but you chose to use your other gaskets. so yea I forgot abput the vacuum and 3/8" water lines that it needed im sorry.
ok guys im just about done responding in the thread. you win j fast. im a dishonest scumbag
feel better now?
later guys
Holy hell that makes my head hurt. I know J can set timing but I can't imagine a car even with bent valves sounding that bad. I don't ever want to hear that again.

For heavans sake man. I told you it was cool. I even took you out to dinner and we broke bread. I'm not trying to punk you man. I'm telling my story. I need to vent it out. It makes me feel better because it F***** hurts!
Yes, I showed you how to verify the timing and we looked at it afterward. Ofcourse it was off. I wouldn't expect it to be in time because it was definitely interfered with. See that video when we started it? I told you it didn't matter. The motor was done.
Again, where did you get the turbos you had me bolt on from Bill? Were they the origionals on the car you sold me?
