hey guys...well one of my friend gave me this guys number and told me to call him and ask him about fixing my ITR motor...the guy said he will come and tow my car for 50 bucks and bring it back to his house and drop the motor and replace what is wrong with the car...he for about 1-2000 depending what it is...and he is going to tell me what i need and is going to order the parts for me...the thing is i dont know this guy very well so im kinda scare that he might order the parts but not put in the parts and might put in something else and keep the part he order and put it in his car...so that why i need your guys's help...thanks....

 

If you are not sure about him then dont let him do it. What happened to the motor anyways?

 

o i was racing a friend of mines and i guess i was redlining too long and it blew...cuz i was trying to shift to third from second and it wouldnt go in and i thought i was in so i press gas but it didnt go in so tried to go to fourth and it wouldnt let me in...so yea...the guy seem like he knows about cars...just the fact that shouldi trust him....he might try to throw some used stuff of his in...which i dont want...haha...

 

if you even have a doubt why would you consider letting him have your car?

 

not having...but fixing it up...i mean he said hes done alot of work with hondas n acuras...he said hes been building motors for like 7 yrs...but then i dontnoe...anyone can say that...but ill see wathappens...

 

Tell him to leave his car as collateral

 

yeha imma drop off my TYPE R with a stranger. WOW well i can swap an engine too so drop it off here buddie...oh wait i dont wanna be traced, so ill come tow it to my house to fix it. wanna buy this winning lotto ticket too?

 

haha...i just got done talking to the dude he seems real cool...he said he'll let me drop by and help him out with the car...not just the swap but to build it up...so yea...

 

Just be careful, even the Devil sounds cool until he gets what he wants.

 

Friends can turn in foes anytime if your not careful. I would just keep the itr and try to fix it. If you don't know this guy personally and it doesn't sound professional then don't do it. Sounds like a person thats just going to rip you off and take a load of money. He might even just replace your parts with cheaper versions and you won't even know. Just get a helms manual or look online for help or get some buddies to help you out. I do the work myself for this reason since many mechanics are out there to drain your wallet.

 

If you don't know the guy, don't give him your car. You're basically paying him to steal your car.

Of course, if you were street racing, that's probably the best thing that could happen. Because, you wouldn't deserve a car anyways.

 

If your gonna fix the car and you plan on spending 2k to do so why not take it to a reputable shop in your area rather then some guy who you don't know? Because he sounds cool

Think it over my friend cause I won't feel bad if I see a thread saying your car was stolen

 

hahaha... yea....well i was thinking about writing a paper that says he took my motor to get it fix and he is responsible for anything that happens to it like it getting stolen, putting in wrong parts, after effect that the motor dont run how is suppose to(cause of blown motor)...hge would also have to sign it....so what do you guys think...and he said he will take pictures of the build while doing it and show me the recipts and also im able to go over to his house and help him out....so is this steal a bad idea....i mean he said hes good with these motor....

 

I don't care if he's the pope. I wouldn't let a stranger touch my car, without him being employed to do so, and I had a written guarantee between the company owner and myself.

Why not take it to King Motorsports? They're in Wisconsin, you know.

no you are letting him have your car. whether he gives it back or not is up to him. Is he a licensed and insured auto repair business? A piece of paper doesn't mean **** when your engine is gone and the car is stripped and you can't find the guy. I know a guy down here who had a guy like that who was gonna do a swap for him. He sent his lude over with a freshly rebuilt tranny and an H22 to go in. A few weeks later he towed his car back, he found an ad online where the guy sold his engine and tranny as well as parts off of his car.
If the dude is so good he should come over and work at YOUR place when you are there watching him.

 

becuz i dont have money like that to pay them...hahah...plus i still dontone whats wrong with my motor...so i dontnow how much it would cost to get it fixed....

im with that. you just never know when some one can be shady and will f**k you over

 

yea...i know thats why im asking questions...hahaha...dont wanna get expletiveed over....what do you guys think i should do...i mean i gotta trust somebody right...hahaha...or should i just take it to the shop...but should i drop the motor first...or should i drop the motor and let the guy take the motor instead...haha...HELP...

 

Dude you have about 15 responses already and they all said the same thing...IT IS A BAD IDEA....now here are your logical choices
1. Pull the head off see what went wrong and fix it yourself if possible
2. Take it to a real shop
3. Have some random guy who sounds cool and is telling you he's great with hondas do whatever he may please with your stuff

But seriously you have gotton plenty responses and im not learning anything from this thread so good luck with your choices

 

I love Honda Tech. Funniest website on the intarweb.

 

hmm...sounds liek a bad situsion...i wouldnt go to hum jus cause he was gonna toe it for 50buxs!...aslo...i hav n bridge to seel u if intersted...
