I think Nick has built more fast cars than Kevin. Back to your car, yes it didnt quite work out the way it was supposed to. But who knows, trying to threating lawsuits and stuff like that isnt going to make the situation better. Didnt you oil line crack and that is how the first engine swap went bad? you didnt have an oil cooler, you didnt notice any smoke?
-
there was no smoke..........if you have to threaten for anything to even happen w/ the car....there is a prpblem there.......my motor came out after it had been sitting for 3 months!!!! don't you usually contact the owner of the car and tell him what is going on w/ the car???? maybe i'm wrong..........when my car got broken into...they didnt even call me........i came in there looked at my car notice everything was gone...and walked out.....they still didnt tell me......so i walked back in there and said did you take my stuff out ...............they said nope and thats it!!!! Everything about the car...i have to ask 100 times....and after you ask that many times its complaining and bitching...which is wrong in the business world i guess..........I even bet my life that my engine wouldnt be there when nick said it was supposed to....you think it showed up then....nope sure didnt....
-
There is still NO EXCUSE for it to take 6 months to get a motor for my car.......when my motor does come.....has no manifold or turbo....now what....i get to pay more money than i ALREADY paid to get those parts.........i payed for a COMPLETE swap...not a oh heres a motor but its missing some parts start handing over some more cash....now you do whatever you want to do w/ it becuase i'm sick of dealing with you..........
ITS your problem that you have to deal with me....its called running a business...is it not??????? i came to STRAIGHTLINE SPECIALTIES for the motor swap so therefore you have to deal with me until the car is done....or else you refund the money...simple as that

-
a big reason my experinces have been bad there...is because i'm young.
-
How bout you keep this thread on topic now......1 bad experience and many good ones at SLS. I am sure the same thing has happened (such as bad experiences) at Tintmasters, Autowerx, Roadsounds etc.....
I have had friends take there stuff to tintmasters and are happy with there service. So MWC1 take your car there then, I am sure they will provide you with good service.
-
as of right now i have everything w/ my car under control besides getting the rest of my parts like battery, tranny, downpipe..ect..
i dont think SlowGST will mind
-
Brian you should know where i'm taking my car......
and everyone with bad experiences with SLS should reply to this thread also....i know there have been others...but they dont visit this forum often and some arent on this board.
SlowGST has already got the big picture....I grew up with him and he is a good friend of mine.

Alright i'll tell this story for everyone. John got a 6 bolt swap and for one reason or another the motor went bad, still unknown cause as we are not allowed to tear motors down or they will not warranty them. JDM 6 bolts motors have been getting slimmer and slimmer as far as availability. SO after roughly 2 months we received another motor under warranty that motor was locked up on arrival so that was sent back for another motor, none available. John decided he wants a motor from elsewhere so i offer to match the $1250 he paid for the motor from us being the motor he wants is coming from Canada w/ extensive shipping cost and totals to be roughly $1600. I tell him i'll orde this motor and put the $1250 towards it you pay the difference or we wait for the motor i will get under warranty for free and no charges. He does not want to do that and thinks i should foot the $1600. Well about a month later or so this latest motor arrives but does not come w/ turbo or exha manifold which is not uncommon some come w. them some dont, we've gotten motors w/o intake manifolds as well before. Well John decideds to make a huge issue over this and says he does not want the motor and just assumes we are going to install it w/o a turbo and exh manifold, obviously thats just ridiculous. I told him some motors come w/ all accessories some dont so he just assumes he's not going to have them. So he then requests i push his car outside so he can pick it up. I push the car outside, motor is in the other shop as well as some other parts not left inside the car. I arrive back @ the shop car is gone, he musta have picked it up. Come out of the shop few hours later car is back in my parking lot.
Point of the story you decided you did not want the motor and you wanted your car outside, so if you could please come pick up your parts and car.

Who do you think builds and supplies all the parts that are going on these cars?
-
Nick you told me to get the exhuast manifold and turbo myself from my old motor...
And i said if you dont get the parts for me then you should just push it outside and give me my $1250 back....
I did not say push the car outside i'm comming to get it..
I said push the car outside if your planning on giving me my money back.

SLSwell said nick. even though there are some people that have had problems with SLS, i would trust them and ontly them with the 4G63T. Nick does some sweet work. i would take it to him for anything that has to do with a dsm.
-
Nick you also told me that you are sick of dealing with me, along with troy and kevin...
I never really talked to troy about it though.
And I'm not really sure but...Kevin might be sick of me asking him about my motor....but thats only because I can actually talk to him about it... And he is helping me w/ it.
I think that it is your problem to deal with...
You don't disrespect your customers like you disrespected me. -
Point of the story you got your motor. It took a long time, which sucks. Kevin is going to help you and put it in. SLS produces the fastest cars. Sometimes you cant please everyone. I have had to wait ridiculous amount of time for stuff on my car at other shops before. Sometimes shit doesnt work out and it is a bad situation for everyone.
Please put this to rest, it is pissing me off.

i have had nothing but good luck with SLS...they took extra time to make sure everything was right on my car(had a ton of cut wires) and cut apart a good harness to make sure my car ran tip-top and wasnt ghetto'd...it took about a month to get my motor in the mail and that was after ordering a motor they had in stock at the place they order them from...and the guy told us they are having trouble getting them and they are backordered around 3 months after this order...and this was april 2004 and im assuming they havent gotten any easier to come by if not harder by now...either way the motor not coming in on time wasnt tuftes fault...you even told me yourself john...you said it went out east and then came back to fargo again...so it was late...as some of you know my car went 12.20@113 on pump gas and 19psi...and yes some of the work was done at SLS...the quality is really high and they take pride in their work
