tuner said he couldnt figure it out so we changed the plugs and the plug wires. he said it was the distributor. is this correct or could it be something else? the short block is fresh but the head is off my old motor that ran fine

 

details?
engine management?
engine?
mods?

The difference now is that the car used to be tuned on s100 and used the o2 sensor but didn't use the iat sensor and now the iat is hooked up but no o2

 

who's tuning the car? post up your calibration and a dattalog

 

Joe right? Mike from tsr. I had sent jeff a IM earlier to ask you about this. And how much for another manifold like the one mike has? That thing looks baddass

 

yea...shoot me a PM on the manifold. the honda-tech police took away jeffs pm privileges so he cant respond to anything.

 

He is in OC right now and he does have his laptop with him. I really hope you can figure this out.

 

its def. not uncommon for distributors/ignitors to go bad. try that first.

 

Did you talk to mike? I think as soon as the rest of the bill is paid off the motor is gonna come back out and redone and then going to a different shop. I would just like to figure this out first so I'm not bringing another shops problem to another shop.

 

nah i havnt spoke with mike regarding your car at all.

 

Ok I'm gonna try to get him, to send me what he's got

 

Spark plugs are gapped to?

 

close thread.......

always post your fix.

 

I was told it was the pcv valve but who knows.

Joe can you pm me? I have some questions bout bringing it there to get tuned

 

Car is running great now that I brought it to another person. The first tuner/shop had set the base timing right in front of me 2 times and said it was on but when I took it to the second tuner (sal) he said it was 6 degrees off. Kinda funny. Now I found out the first tuner/shop had stripped out 4 of the bolts that connect the exhaust manifold to the head so I have to figure out how to fix that cause THIS CAR WILL NEVER GO BACK TO TSR ! ! ! They screwed me over with a few things and they asked me to keep my car there and they will fix it and then they never called me to tell me it was done and then they tried to charge me some rediculous storage fees and to top it off I left my new wideband in the car and now its missing. I guess that's a good lession to not always trust your friends (well old friends)

James James James...

1) Yes I did check your ignition timing twice. Before YOU changed the distributor. If your timing was off, it was because YOU changed your own distributor after we had the car running and it was never set again because you didnt have an ECU/owed us money. Kinda funny huh...

2)Upon putting your car together, you were right there as you saw those manifold bolts were previously stripped. When I got the car running i even told you that you had an exhaust leak caused by your stripped bolts....so dont blame that on me.

3)For the record, Ive never asked you to keep your car here. Why would I do that?? Our part was done and you didnt come up with the funds to pay for it...so we didnt go any further. Do you work for free??? didnt think so. we charge storage to deadbeat customers that abandon their cars and dont pay their bill for weeks at a time. As most other shops do. So you sir fell into that category. I mean come on, you tried to pick the car up with a $600 paycheck that you wanted to sign over to us. Then we didnt hear from you for weeks...

4)We've been over the wideband thing...You bought it from us, we gave it to you, you took it with you, I dont know what you did with it after that. We dont steal customers parts. No need for that.

Thanks for doing me a favor by not bringing you or your car back. Have a nice day

You didn't ask to keep it there? I still have the text messages you sent me while I was in oc! So don't even go there. If the car was done then why did you still work on it the next week? That's what I thought! And for the $600 I was gonna pay that night was just because your dad said it would be best to keep it there because it wasn't running good and it would be best for me to not drive it yet so I told him ill give him $600 for the time being and then said nevermind ill just pay it in full when you call me to tell me its done... tsr is a bunch of bullshit! You always get stolen **** and you all always now who has stolen **** and what got stolen all the time. Mike you are a little bitch and you always try to get over on people. And why did you put your 2 cents in this roy? You know I don't really like you and I know you really don't like me but the funny thing is how much **** mike talks about you and ashley after you guys leave the shop!

 

i think there was a better way you could have went about things apposed to trying to put a shop on blast on here and in all reality ending up making you self look simple... however that is only my two cents that you have no desire or need for being the baller that you are.... but this isn't the place to carry out a grudge that you have for god knows what reason, this just goes to show why everyone thinks your 19 or 20 but in all reality going on 30

some one please lock or close this thread it should have never been open its little more than libel

Haha dont feel bad James you arent the only person they have ripped off. Im 4k in the hole because of them and their ways. TSR Actually I cant say them, because honestly I dont think surtin people in the shop know about half the bull **** Mike pulls.

 

A grudge? It will never be anything more then on the computer cause mike is to ***** to face me man to man and I'm 23 not 30.... I have held my mouth closed for to long because I always thought mike was a friend but after actually dealing with him I have learned that he really wasn't. The only trustworthy person at tsr is DJ and that's only cause his older brother mike don't like him around and he hasn't learned the ways of bullshitting people and is to nice of a person unlike the rest of his family. Maybe I could have went about it another way but if your **** went missing at a shop when it was in your car and then you have problems with your car after it was put together by a shop and it was to be finished you would be pissed too.
