Re: Telling someone you wont help them with their EPIC FAIL automobile
you just simple say I won;t work on your POS no matter how much your willing to pay.
I've had people want tranny work like ISB, simple, bring me the tranny. Then they state
"We'll I don't fell like dropping the tranny, how would you charge for that?"
$300 just to R&R a tranny, anpother $50 if they want a clutch installed.
THANKFULLY the price is high enough they end up pulling the tranny themselves

Compression is one thing. A half *** engine builder never checks bearings so it should have rod knock within 50 miles

You're too nice of a guy, and that's the problem. The way you've described it here would lead any of us to understand you aren't touching our car. Being a good guy is different from being a nice guy. Take the hit that you're trying to avoid to, what you think is your character (by telling the guy no, no way, never), and be done with it. I won't blame you.

Ive learned this same thing the hard way. Just tell him your not tuning it. You'd just waste your time setting up on his car and their will be problems he won't pay you anyway and every (crack head honda boi dirt back thief)<----90% of all honda owners. will say your a sucky tuner. Your better of chosing your cars you'll work on. Your rep will grow and you will get more tunes in the end.

Tell him you don't want to risk tuning another stock block that will most likely blow up again and have your reputation tarnished by his -----talking friends.
Tell him nothing personal, but it wouldn't be good business for you and that the last block that blew up on boost you didn't approve already made you look bad.
