Modified Import Repair
owner: Thomas Lewis
location: Vista Lane, Clarksville TN 37043 off exit 11 I-24

DO NOT use this guy, he is king d-bag. do not go, me [S14 Silvia Clone], a S14.a RB25det swap, and a S14a KA-T all had the worst service possible. Ive had to pull my motor and re-do everything i had paid him to do, $1300 down the drains.

take heed or not, youve been warned. i wish i could post this ALL OVER the net


i took my S14 to him to finish the wiring [a ignitor] and install the intercooler piping.
-my wireharness was hacked
-it was running pig rich
-i had to recently pull the motor due to the turbo coolant lines being blocked off by him and it cooked my turbo causing so much damage, cooking oil to sludge, upping the oil pressure in my car. naturally the oil leaked from the weakest seals. now im going to re-seal the whole oil pan, timing chain cover, and blahblah.
-i had to order a new turbo
-i had to make steelbraided lines and retap the block due to him using a steel bolt in aluminum block and jbwelding it.

all the time i am putting into finishing my SR20DET is being logged and since i paid $1300 @ $70/hour i am going to sue him for my money PLUS the time in that i actually put into the motor when i was told upon receiving the car it would be tip top.

so that is juuust my story.

the RB25 had to order a brand new harness, and install a SAFC just to get it to run near right. both motors are stock, with stock turbos and 255lph fuel pumps

I would really post this on a alot of South East forums. Most that you can actually. You will eventually find someone who knows him, who also may of had trouble. You did the right thing on taking legal action that is for sure.

Clarksville TN huh, You wouldn't happen to be stationed @ Ft. Campbell would you? If you have proof that he ripped you off go to the Clarksville PD, they don't play around down there. Oh wait, they hate G.I.'s so more than likely they'll just laugh at you. If you are in the Army and stationed at with the Hundred and Worst report him to you CO and Platoon SGT. and 1st SGT. If they have any respect for their guys at all they'll get him blacklisted and get the criminal/civil process moving. I'd also suggest going to go talk to JAG as they can represent you for free.

If you aren't in the military and just a local resident then definitely go talk to your local authorities.

Get it done. I used to work for a poophead around here that rips people off, but I can't do anything about it. I did tell some costumers tho when he wasn't around.

5th Special Forces Group or 160th SAR? I used to know a bunch of the SF guys when I was stationed there, they're a wild and crazy bunch but will give you the shirt off their backs. The 160th guys were cool, but a lot of them had that whole elitist arrogance going on which made them douchey and unapproachable, all because of the whole Blackhawk Down thing.
