First off i am having an SR swap done for me because I don't have time to do it myself. I took my car to the guy who is doing my swap the first week in June(no names he seems like a nice guy so I don't want to mention it yet). He told me he would have it to me by the NOPI show which was july 10-11. He missed that deadline. Then he told me he would have it to me by my car show which was August 7th. Then I called him and he told me 2 weeks at the longest. Now my car has the engine in but not hooked up. He told me that he had it running and when i went to see it I asked if I could start it and he said no that he just drained the fluids. He also told me that he would give me the radiator off the clip(98 180sx), but when i went to look at the car he had used a radiator off of a s13 240. what should I do? I am afraid if I call and be an *** he'll rush and mess up, but if I be nice like I have been he will take the rest of the year. :rl:

pay 20 black guys to go there with you and tell him you were on your way to your "family" gathering, and that you just wanted to see how things were going.
make sure one of the black guys calls you "Dre" when you guys leave.
WHAT? you think I'm kidding?

most likely he ran into some problems and is trying to buy time. you can either give him that time, offer to help, or take your car unfinished.

You paid him already, didn't you. If you didn't you could just have you car towed to a competent shop.

I paid half up front and will pay the rest when he is finished. I called him this morning and of course he did not answer his phone. I left a message and sent him an email. I was fine with all this until he lied to me about the radiator. He said that he gave my radiator to the guy who's swap he did before mine. Now I am pissed and told him he had until this weekend to finish. If he does not finish I will pick it up pay him the price of the engine but no extra.
It is hard to trust anything that he says now after he missed 3 deadlines and gave my radiator to some other guy.

UMM, TAKE YOUR CAR FORCEFULLY IF NECESSARY, WITH THE ka RADIATOR, DONT PAY HIM ANYTHING ELSE. AND JUST LOOK @ IT AS THE 1/2 PAYMENT YOU GAVE HIM WAS THE PAYMENT FOR UR MOTOR WITH ka RADIAOTR. FUCK IT. YOU PAID FOR SERVICES NOT RENDERED.
OHH AND BRING THE 20 BLACK DUDES WITH YOU.
ACTUALLY TO BE A LIL MORE "pc" JUST BRING 20 OTHER DUDES WITH YOU, AND WHEN YOU LEAVE, HAVE ONE OF THEM REFER TO YOU AS ALMIGHTY ONE!

He had the clip setting next to his garage before I even paid him the first half. He has not had to wait on anything. I got an email back from him and he is going to give me an SR radiator. He says he has one laying around. He won't return my calls. Every time I call it rings until I get his voicemail and he won't call me back after I leave a message.
As long as he gives me the parts that he is suposed to I will not list his name.

you're getting pwned. no reason it should take that long if he knows what he's doing and had all parts on hand before he started. something is definitely up with your car or your motor.
