How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ
I had my turbo and intercooler at a shop getting installed. long story short they got "robbed" and my turbo and intercooler are gone along with my fuel set up.. I'm out alot of money and the owner of the shop isnt reemberssing me for anything. even though another kids car was there and his stuff was stolen too, he was repaid.. enough of that. I dont have any clue what I can sell my car for. I had viren build the block and Kg build the head. The car is super clean inside and out. Everything was done right. I would rather sell to one of us, that appreicate it and finish it right.
here's the link to the thread

thanks to everyone that has helped me, Viren especially the countless times of reassurance was greatly appreciated.
if local feel free to call me at 916 524-6922 to come check it out

Bizarre situation.
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I wouldn't expect to get back what you've put into it.
Did the guy have insurance on his shop?

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (metal-x)
yes he had insurance, but he and i were somewhat friends. the other kid had spent atleast 12,000 on his ek at his shop. He told me why should he be the only one that lost out. I told him because he owns the business. I will take the loss I just want out of hondas at least for awhile. He even told me that he had camera's in his shop, when i asked to see them he told me that he forgot to turn them on. then i asked him to show me the cameras?? he couldnt do that. 
I will hopefully work something out with the owner because as it sits i'm out around 4,000 roughly. and I lost all interest in my car.. so if anyone wants it come pick it up. I have all reciepts on parts that i purchased..

Sounds like the good old rob your own shop, sell the parts for money, and keep the insurance money scam.
Happened to me once. My 2.02/1.60 Manley stainless swirl polished valves and Comp Cams valvetrain were stolen while I had my 360 heads in for porting. Mine was probably the smallest loss, many other people got raped royally.
Basically the guy took all the good stuff out of his shop, drove by at night and threw a brick thru the glass, and made out like a bandit.

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (Hatchblack)
really.. Man if i find out that, that **** went down someone will end up at the bottom of the sacramento river. No joke that **** isnt cool, theives die on sight.. the cops even came and did the whole fingerprint thing didnt find anything. I went to the police station and filled out my own police report because he didnt submit anything that was stolen to them. he said he didnt want to make a insurance report because he would get cancelled???

Yeah, I considered this guy to be a good buddy up until this point. He moves his shop ever couple of years (he's still around, probably only because he is really good at head porting) and we found out the same thing had happened at his last couple of locations.

look man stop saying your car was at the shop is was not
if it was then were is your invoice for the work you suppose to
have done? how much did you spend on the work? who worked on it?
you are just mad that i would not let you make a false claim on
the shops insurance. sure you showed me the kit and the motor but
that does not mean we worked on it. evercar that we were working on
that got jacked got taken care of. we did not claim it on the insurance because
that was the second break in and the lost we took was not worth caliming.(deductable ofsets loss.) i did not show you the camera or its tape because i don't want anybody to know were they are at. defeats the purpose. i dont want anymore trouble than you do so stop this nonsence before it goes too far.
LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY I LEFT YOU ALONE SO LEAVE US ALONE AND STOP
LYING B&*H.

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (BVM)
"wow thats real buisness like.... Now I would definatly think something is up.... "
something is defenetly up this guy wants us to pay for something that we did not even lost. if what he said is true then why is it he can't even show up here and show us proof like we asked? he used to hang around here after work. ohh
he also work for another tuner shop why did he not have them do all the work?
why would he take he's car here? or maybe its all a scam to eliminate competition?
he is close to that shop onwer. i tried to reason with him but he keeps pushing.i even get calls from his mommy but like i said before we did not worked on this kid's car.

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (chidoks)
Lets get back to the thread at hand, how much do you guys think I can sell my car for. See why I want to get rid of it, this guy is so unperfessional its crazy I dont work at any tuner shop and i'm actually good friends with this guys mechanic, thats why i trusted my car there. There is really no way I can win this, thats why i just wanna sell my car and buy a normal everyday car. I can build another honda later (which i will ). when people call your house accusing you of **** that you didnt do and I still live with my folks, your parents get alittle upset. I'm glad my parents stick up for me and these guys on this board stick up for me. Because you are shady..

I would try to get as much as you paid back. If not lower the price slowly.

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (0x64)
I'm thinking I will maybe drop it a 1,000. For a 6,000 eninge and all of the other stuff I have put into it. i think that its reasonable. I am doubtful to put it on ebay because I will never get what I want for it.

Re: How much do you think I can sell my fully built integ (thejdmkid)
I would try selling it for what you paid. If no one buys it for that price lower it a little bit. What all is done to make it $6,000? I know I have a nice block (GEM sleeves, GEM o-ring, line bore hone, deck, ENDYN pistons, Eagle rods, etc.) and head (Port Flow inner springs, ITR outer springs, etc.) but I have not spent close to $6,000. Just curious
