I understand. He said he's gonna go and try to get things worked out and a refund.

nor will you ever see anything from that shop. For example i tried to order a 60mm greddy light bulb for my boost guage TWICE the fuckheads give me a 52 mm. Tired to ask them about engine swaps unbelievably these dumbasses say stick with the 7 bolt.

Word, I am in Fredericksburg for the summer right now, and I definately know of that shop. I've never met the guys nor have I ever been in the shop. I personally think anyone who has to pay people to do that kinda crap is a moron to begin with, but thats just me. As joey pointed out, anyone who's willing to pay 5500 bucks for a god damn honda motor needs just give up at life.

O well, just another example of a shop I would never take my car, but then again I dont trust any shop to do work. If you want something done right, do it your god damn self. To ANY shop you are just a number, a dollar sign, and the pride they will take in your car is damn near zero compared to what you would do yourself, and if you do get ANY pride, you will likely pay out the ass for it.

O, didnt even look too closely at the pics, just thought someone said it was a honda swap, sorry. Guess I should slow down and read more carefully.
