dude, im my defense, i barely know the guy but i did business with him a few times and have had no problems. ive been to his shop, he's been nothing but generous. offered me the parts i needed and shot the shit for a minute. we've traded some parts another time and he gave me his hookup for getting some work done on my cylinder head, etc etc. i added him to the friends list as i do most people i do business with and he accepted. is that so wrong? i really dont think the dudes so computer savvy. he's only returned my PM once that i remember but ive had no problems talking to him personally or on the phone.

im only putting in my 2cents because it looks like im not the only person on here that's had good business with him. something went wrong on your deal, i dont even know what it is, but it shouldnt be to hard to sort out if you just calm down and try to talk to him without trying to make it an arguement. you know where to find him, you know or can get his number. it's not like he's a guy on the forum that you can never find.

And I'm not the only person that has had a bad deal with him either, I'm not trying to start an argument but when weak excuses are made for him, that's when I wave the bullshit flag. I got kids and a family and do not have the time to drive an hour to do detective work on this guy but I do have time to warn people about him. He could be as nice as he wants to be, give people a spark plug for free and think that he's a good guy but he freaking knows he has done wrong. The fact that i have gone to Iraq and Afghanistan and seen people get hurt for people like him, enfuriates me. He was a nice guy to me too, we shot the shit too. I told him I was in the Marines and he knows I have a family and still the fag and his friend took my money with no remorse. I don't respect people like that. I'm moving up north again pretty soon, close to where he works at. So yes I do know where he works at and I don't need to call him again.

I was finally able to get under the car and took a picture of the steering column rubbing against the O2 housing.



Edit: It has now been fixed!

pretty much when that happened, it hairlined cracked the whole flywheel...

see this thread for reference

So it wasnt the transmission...hmmm : CA18DE / CA18DET Forum

im guessing the only reason it didnt go out sooner was because when at the time i did daily it, I never did anything stupid like kick the clutch the burned out...etc it was a daily, this happened at the track were im happy it happened were no one could have gotten hurt...

also found out when i finally got under the car that i didnt have a dustshield plate...AWESOME!

and yeah i finally got to the point of installing my gauges and when Jordan from Jordan Innovations helped me out he nearly kicked me out due to the shitty quality of my wiring...

opened wires, shit just twisted together with blue tape...lol

i give him my praise for getting my motor swap done as fast as he did...
but seriously, after i got into looking at it, i realized it was a potential fire hazard...

so i decided ill just stick to local guys to work on my car...

Let's make a List of the accomplishments of Mr. Daughterly and slideways performance:

1. Sold a junk motor as "rebuilt"
2. Mickey moused a DOHC Swap using SOHC cables, SOHC Steering and junk wiring.
3. Sold a lightly used LSD for $600
4. Wiring that makes your wipers go on when you turn on the radio
5. Use AT components on a 5 speed CADET
6. Infamous Twist tied wiring
7. Stolen money/ Scam Corolla guy
8.. TRIED to sell me a 240 on craigslist as $1,000, private seller, call the number and it's Slideways performance we have no such car, but have one for $2,500.
9. Stole a roll cage.
10. Owes people money.
11. Did i mention Mickey mousing everything to make a quick buck?

"He's legit" "I know this Cat" "He's super balling JDM cool." Defenses like these, just have no validity for the list above.

Please feel free to add your personal inquiries to the list, if I missed it. And for those who are so confident in Spencer Daughterly, Please go check your car's Engine/Transmission and Wiring.

Also since he is burned here he is now moved onto the corolla community, he's trying to pimp his ghetto 20v swaps.

He sells bunk engines and calls them rebuilt. There's no going around that, no excuse. He should be banned from here on that alone and let him sell his stuff on craigslist. That's where his "work" and parts deserve to be.

Nothing against ur work. But he's not a good guy.

I like how people who defend him, are brown status due to shady crap in the marketplace.

I own a s13 that was taken to him by the previous owner, and man, even the simple shit is done wrong like lifting cars with the lift and flatening the pinch welds, messing up timing and selling wack stock parts, to noob as s chassis owners.

Sideways performance rip!!!

I guess you get what you pay for. Quoted me a good price for a swap. Didn't complete the entire swap and also discovered my hardened motor mounts were swapped out for stock ones as well. Stay away from this shop!!!

Spencer Dougherty

I contacted spencer on a sunday morning searching for a silvia front end conversion; instructed me to call back monday to see if he could source me the conversion due to it being sunday most businesses are closed. Monday morning, spencer was able to source me a complete front end.

So Tuesday morning i tow my car to his shop to get the swap installed. I requested to roll out with spencer to get my conversion due to me not knowing him or his shop. He abliged, and i got to pick out my front end and go on some errands with him. While we were gone, the sideways crew had swapped my dented radiator support with an undamaged one, and disconnect all unnecessary hardware not needed anymore. As i was waiting for the new front end to be installed, spencer bought me lunch. Spencer and his crew made sure everything was wired up right, lined up and bolted tight.

I have to say that spencer is knowlegeable and true to his word. i would definitely consider buying parts or possibly shop services from him if need be. sidenote, the man works on cars wearing flip flops.

I had a ton of issues with Spencer with my car, i went to him because he did my brother's swap, so I assumed he was good. He was, at first. Got my car running cheap and fast, then it went downhill after I brought it to him to have my rebuilt motor swapped in. I ended up with a missing stereo, window switches, sub, shift boot trim, boost gauge, trans mount. So yeah, will not be going back or do i advise anyone else doing so. He will be all fine and dandy at first, but when you get comfortable and trust him, he will get you. So yeah I was excited when I was Spencerfree too hahaha

I bought a race seat from him about a year ago. when he had it posted up he said there was a small scratch on the bottom/back part of the seat, and since im never going to sit in the back seat it really didnt bother me. When the seat finally go to me in the mail it had 2 nice size cuts on the front ( the scratch that was pictured on the seat wasnt even there). Then to top that off it only came with 1 side of the slider and the wrong base that was hacked up. the box it came in was 3 boxes taped together. when i contacted him he said that he wanted me to ship the base that i had back to him and he would send me out the proper 1. a week goes by and no response. i said screw it. i told him i was going to put in a dispute with paypal which i did becuase it was completely false advertisement. i win the dispute bc he never even responded and then he wanted me to pay to ship him back the seat, all cursing at me and demanding. REAL CLASSY PERSON.

So you won the PayPal why not send him his stuff back? Now it looks like you have his money and his item. Messed up or not the right thing to do would be to send it back.

I bought a s15 driveshaft from them. Scheduled an appointment. Got there and he wasn't there. Waited 30 minutes for one of his buddies to get there. Never saw the guy. Although I did give them a positive review, I did it because the item I bought was described and his buddies was chill. Still waiting 30 minutes sucked. Especially when it was hot and I texted him before I was almost there. He texted back he was at the shop. At that time I guess he was moving shops..

I see your point, but more than likely it will become someone elses problem when he tries sell it again. EEEEF that!


Way to many issues to go in his favor.

Oh i was willing to ship the seat back. what was i going to do with a torn seat, half a slider and a hacked passenger base? lol

he wouldn't paypal me to ship it back bc he thought i was going to "G him again", and felt i should pay for it. why should i Pay for it? he knew what he sent was fucked up, and wasn't what he posted up because in the picture on the thread the seat was scuffed on the back but when I got the seat nothing on the back but it was torn in the front.
