Re: How Long Does it take.
WOW - NOOB! he wasnt just" putting it on"! he had to fab up ALL of the IC piping, DP, you name it! It wasnt a COMPLETE Home Built kit! you called me or msged me almost everyday on what to order becase you had no idea what parts you need or anything! im SURE that there were tons of parts that you forgot, there are a lot of little things that you dont know about anless you have built a lot of kits... maybe you sghould have just bought that SS Autochrome kit that you wanted to buy, that way it wouldnt have taken so long!
not only if the guy building the whole kit, but he works and goes to school. how many of you would do both plus go out and bust your *** working on some one elses car? i know some of you would, but yea...
and for the record No Accords are Not the same! if you have ever worked on both you would know. accords have Less space, Plus the have a BIG *** motor mount on the front! EF's front mount are tiny, EG's and EK's dont have the same mount! PLUS Accords have altinators on the front of the motor, does a civic nope!
not trying to talk ---- to those of you who have replyed at all, but i know the guy. i know he takes his time on things some times, but you know what, for $200-$300 i wouldnt bust my *** to finish a car for some one else!
P.S. it makes things Harder trying to build a kit and do work on a car in a small space w/ some one who has no clue what they are doing when it comes to their car!

Well DAN, he said it would be done in 3 days, and i did get all the parts, the only thing he had to get was the flange for the turbo, and the bov, i got everything else he needed, and all i did was ask how long it would take, not tak ----. and if those guys didnt tell me not to let you do my kit, then i would have had you do it in like 2 days and then had my downpipe fall off on the first run.

All your problems started with you not shutting the ---- up, waiting on us to help you order everything and getting so impatient. Rebuilding a 30k mile motor, impatience. 700 dollar engine swap, impatience. Getting a manifold custom made from miles away that did not make the creation of this kit easy, impatience. We could have had you a manifold made locally, with the flange specifically placed for your application for cheaper, but u couldnt wait. And now you're waiting even longer.
Also, never did i say i was a professional fabricator. My kit was the first kit i've ever done, and it went ok for me because i researched it, and plotted out how i wanted to reun everything over time before actually attempting to get down and dirty, after that it took me 3-4 days to get everything done. I'm not charging shop prices, all i wanted was the cost of the welder and its supplies (150-200 bucks and no that price definately has not gone up since it was harder than i thought) and then whatever extra parts money i needed. I dont have weekends to work on it cus i work weekends and u know that. I dont need to make excuses over the interweb, i'll talk to you in real life.
I run this.
