Daniel, you have been around for a while and you work at a speed shop. I certainly hope you find your dignity and do what is right. Clearly you understand what that is.

Tony.

I dont need a stinking block when the pistons are worthless. I tried working in good faith and resolve the problem, which initially was for him to send me another block. But when I pulled those pistons out I just about had it. They are trash.....clearly.

I have filed all the stop payments with A LOT of evidence. Pages of it. Its only a matter of time.

Thanks for ruining my project Daniel and getting me stuck with no car and no way to get to work other than a cab.

I saw you were selling quite a few of your parts. I hope this short block issue hasn't derailed your project. Any updates or resolutions with the block issues?

Only got a portion of the money back through one card. Another is taking its sweet time. No response from the seller in any way. But im done with this for now. After two years of constant problems I am financially and physically exhausted. Going back to stock.

Well the car is coming back together and the judicial system is taking a very long time to get a court date going. Im putting in a brand new stock LS3, AFR225s, Streetsweaper, and a built T56. Should be fun and reliable. Looks like it wasnt my time to chase the 700RWHP dream. Theres always tomorrow.

So you're sueing him for a used racing engine that had 225hp shot's of nitrous ran through it? You wanted a warranty or something?

Good luck with that one. Not saying that I believe anyone should get ripped off intentionally.....

No warrantym, just simple honesty. The thing supposedly had only 200 miles on it. The nitrous details came after I started investigating of what happened.
