Car Info: $200,000 sports car
To the current owner,
The car was indeed in an accident that was much more than a fender bender. The body shop replaced the cam cover but did not check or re-align the cam timing. Shortly after that, the engine failed catastrophically on a high speed pull. After that, the engine was replaced with 07 heads and some random JDM cams that I never received specs on. The car was then brought to me to get it running. I informed the owner that it had major wiring issues and I suspected leaks as well. He requested that I just get it running as well as possible as he didn't want to deal with it anymore. I did so, but the car still ran horribly. After seeing that mess of wiring, I'm not surprised! FYI, the car ran great for 2 years prior to the accident.

Good luck with the car, I honestly feel bad for you. I never wanted my name associated with this car since the accident and I would not have guessed that Weston would have sold it without making it known that it was in an accident and had issues. That is very unfair to the new owner and I do not agree with such a sale.
Thanks
Thanks
does the BAR have a code of ethics? oh wait...

Car Info: your mother crazy
also: theres plenty of shops i would take my car to aside from paul, hes jsut the closest. Mike@gst, ryan@FLI, LIC, could all have my business right now if they were closer to me.
As for the rest, once I got it back from the shop I decided I wanted to sell it. The shop installed the motor and the gauges (I never even thought to check out their wiring after the install) and I figured it was in good shape (several thousand dollars of parts and labor, I didn't think that was a bold assumption). The tune came back as the graph showed. When I was driving the car around it felt fine and never threw a code, and I never had problems with the alarm.
oh and russB... left field. bravo
