    i would certainly give a really good effort to make stops to the shop, or i like to call from a different number, even leave a msg stating you are someone else and you want work done. ive been there and it sucks. if all else fails, start with the lawyer. good luck, keep us posted

    Yeah, going to consult a lawyer today. I spoke to the police and they tole me to call them and go up there with them. 

    Sucks im going through all of this trouble.

  3. Hello,

    i’m having an rb25det neo and a haltech put into my Datsun. The car has been at Wireworks performance (fort worth, tx) since january 4th.

    Back in May i was told it would take a little longer because a tech screwed some work up and it had to be corrected. No big deal, i can wait a little.

    i’ve been trying to get updates, and it’s hard to get a hold of the shop. Last time i tried to visit, they were closed during the week for some reason. Last i heard it was “very close to being done”... in August. Now it’s September and i can’t get a hold of him (doesnt answer calls or texts).

    i’m planning on calling the police or speaking with a lawyer, which is not something i want to do, but i cant get a hold of him and he has my car. I have no clue what’s going on.

    What do you all recommend i do? It’s safe to say this shop won’t get any more work from me, which is unfortunate as i heard great things about them. But they have 5,000 dollars of mine and my car.

    Hi ,
    Thanks for the contact ,however I'm  true to the Z car and never install American made engines in them .I do have a customer that has a Series 1 car also with a LT1 ( he bought it done ),and when I talked to some friends about tuning it , they All turned their noses up on this engine ! In fact if your not using a LS type engine they think your wasting your time . I don't now much about the LT engines ,but from what I heard ,I wouldn't even want a Vet with one . Sorry but my scope of knowledge is 6 cylinder inline and v-6 stuff .Since I have made over 500 hp with a L series engine ,I never saw a need for engine swaps . Sorry ,but I also don't know anybody that could help you do a sanitary or clean install either .
    Good Luck ,

    Steve"
