It was pretty crazy seeing it all apart like that. We've heard so many good things about these cars that it caught his eye and he had to ask about it. I told him I had been reading this thread on line for awhile now and had to be the same car!!

We wish you good luck with it. Sad to see it on the lift like that...
yes. correct it was mine!!

here are some pics of the operation.
WARNING not a pretty sight.









but heres the update everyone.
three weeks and $13,000 later. got it back. like new. thats got it back this sat. the reason why i wasnt on here before because i was #$%@% and then when i got it back i wasnt on here cuz i was out and enjoying my car back.

they seemed to put everything back together correctly. engines new squeeky clean. 150miles on it since sat, just sucks im back at the break in period meaning i actually have to drive it slow. wtf. if you know me you can feel for me how hard thats to do.

forgive me if I mis-understood what ur decision is but I think ur crazy having those a-holes push you around! you are in control not them!
no it was $ 4800 to put it back together and restocking fee for the engine. just to get my car in the same way that i towed it in. i got my lawyer and tried to fight that but there was nothing that could of been done believe me i didnt like spending 13000 dollars as much as you thinking about me doing it.

if it wasnt for them charging me for the reassembly i would of towed the car down to cali and had a TT setup put in for a couple $$ more. but so be it it is what it is. that was just like heyy heres 5k for nothing just so u can give me my car back.

as far as performance mods for me now left is the intake high flow cats and catback exhaust. along with the full suspension and brakes. they said that if i leave it like that they shouldnt see any type of warranty problem in the future.


oh and a LOL note.
when i went to the cashier to check out. it was like 5465403540 papers of paperwork w.e i hand it to the lady and then hand my credit card to her and im like 12000 on the card and the rest cash.
shes just laughs OOH OOK. and takes the papers and trying to look for the total.
im like heres my card can you swipe it?
shes like so how much on the card?
12000!
ok really?
i just told you look at the receipt.
shes like OMG really you werent kidding me im so sorry what happened is everything ok?
yes great fine i see my car shiny parked outside and im standing here talking to you :ank and not out so can you swipe this !@#$ thing and i can be
so she did signed it over and i was out. shes felt kinda dumb i have no idea what went through her head but i was like its ok your still cool and have a wonderful weekend she smiled and handed me the keys.

Did you get the engine or at least the crankshaft back. If I spent this type of bucks I would at least want the crank looked at to decipher exactly what killed the goose.
