I don't want to start any **** but how the **** does someone say they built a car when they didn't??

"This is a LME built Engine, car built and tuned by KP Racing"

I can understand saying tuned.. Hell maybe even worked on but built sorry I saw the build thread and it was done by your company LMR..
