Hey guys I'm the guy from LA that got screwed out of 7100 for a S15 front and S13 SR but I did finally at least get the car back but it looks like lots of stuff under the hood has been stolen. I took some pics could yall take a look and let me know what all is gone. I don't have any reference and don't have any KA exp to tell where everything is. I just need to know so i can find out wether to fix this motor or just get a new one. I kinda need to know before tomorrow afternoon b/c I have to tell my bank wether or not to raise my loan so any help ASAP is of great appreciation.

injectors intake piping and fuel filter/line......

go to a junkyard for the parts the most expensive will be the injectors so pocket them.

I was suprised that anybody would see their cars/parts again I'll have to tell my friend (maybe there is hope for him)

If you took it somewhere to have mods/repairs done and stuff was stolen, and know or have an idea of who did it, try looking into the legalities of it.

haha you missed alot of drama here , trust me i have looked extensively into legalities , i had $7100 pretty much stolen plus stuff off the car all by someone how actually had a good rep on NICO and started his own shop and ended up doing LOTS of shady things to alot of members here running off w/ around $50K in the end and having the cops tell us they can't do jack about it

from the looks of the corrosion on the motor if it sat just like that outside with the injectors out you at the very least want to spray a bunch of carb cleaner in the open injector holes (and maybe look in there with a flashlight if possible to see if there's any puddled in there) to dry up any water that may have gotten in, pull the plugs out and spray some WD40 into the cylinders or pours just a cap full of oil in there and let it sit for a little while. then turn it over with the plugs still out to help lube the cylinder walls a little and get any possible water left out. this should get you running again at least.

sounds like you got super screwed man, and i hope the best for you.

conning doesn't begin to describe what happened but NICO has had enough ADT drama tossed around these forums if anyone would like to know what happened hit me up on AIM sparkusblunticus or email [email protected]

worknprogress, I would save my money, not buy parts, and get a good lawyer. That is to say that you got receipts for the money you gave him. Even a verbal agreement will hold up in court with witnesses. Thats too bad though. Sorry man.

Go to the place that did the swap... and kick their ***..

This **** is ridiculous. Businesses that do that kind of crap should become test grounds for the military's latest and greatest weaponry.

Keep the thread on topic fella's. No need for another After Dark drama thread. Adam did alot of bad bussiness, and alot of good people got taken advantage of. That sums it up...
