Well, its been a crazy last two weeks. I didn't get the motor I was planning on(again, really sorry about the ******* banks 13BAce...I've got over $3K now though, lol). Well anyways...I'm having Atkins Rotary build me a new motor now and I'm curious as to if anybody knows a good place to get SS oil lines...I know racing beat has them, anybody know where I can get them cheaper. I need them to put the new motor in seeing as how I removed the old ones w/ a saw https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
The downside to getting a rebuilt motor is now even after its in the car, I'll have to use a lightfoot 'til its broken in :( The new motor setup will be capable of about 500HP & over 20psi of boost though. I spoke w/ Dave and he reassures me that the seals I'm using will hold, he said he put in 320 passes on his block w/ 17psi, so I feel good. I estimate about 3 weeks before the car is on the road again. |
If you weren't going to buy it you should have told me right away, not the day before you were coming after over a month of saying you were coming. I asked you many times if you were really going to buy it. I wouldn't have wasted my time tearing down and cleaning everything up for you. I wasn't trying to sell you garbage. You didn't have to make up some crazy story at the last minute to back out of the deal.

I can be a witness to him taking apart the car to get it ready, in the 95 degree heat with 90% humidity, in his driveway no less, not even any shade, I dont know how he does it to be honest with you. Disabling his car basically to sell the motor. Then the evening before, the deal went south. I know **** happens, but at this point the car was taken apart, he couldnt use it, and couldnt demo it to someone else. There is a lesson to be learned here, and that is the first thing as the buyer is secure your funds, THEN you make the deals, otherwise it creates a bad situation for everyone.

Ok, I have over $12K in a secured bank account that I use for situations such as this, the bank assured me that my money would be there. I can't stress enough that this was a total shock to myself when the bank lost my papers, it is not a story, I can have them print me an apology for their mistakes and scan it for you if you'd like. I don't lead people on. My car has been down for almost a year and I wanted more then anything to get the motor....I had 3 friends take off of work to help me get it. If we had more time I'd come get it now, but its late now as your leaving soon. I know there is nothing I can say or do to prove all this, and I'm very sorry, but **** happens...how do you think I felt when I invested 6 months and over $5K into a BLOWN jspec...I converted EVERYTHING in my car to a jspec version of itself to make the new motor work perfectly and that all takes time & money. If the motor is what you say it is and I'm sure it is, you'll have no problem finding a buyer for even more then what you were going to sell it to me for. I don't want this to sour an otherwise good rotorship guys, its not my fault...I did everything I was supposed to, you wanna complain..call 2nd Bank & Trust in Madison County Va, but don't bring it out on me. Again, I'm sorry and I will be for a very long time. This just tops off my project, NOTHING has gone as its supposed to from the beginning.

It was like something you see at a cheesy Universal Studios thing, but it was real. |
