I'm really sorry to hear that man! There's a lot of scumbags out in this world.

$3500 for the whole engine set including harness, trans and everything? Or $3500 for just the block? If it was the first, then that should have raised all kinds of bullshit flag.

first mistake: taking someone elses word for something.
TRUST, but VERIFY.

imbored205 · 07-23-2012, 07:02 PM

does know one sign anything in writing or something?

also why does it seem like every shop just try's to scam people. are they all run by poor people who barely get by or something?

buy a rb26 from CoolWhip on here. Ricky owns a shop called Raw Brokerage, nice guy, knows his stuff

Silvia479whp · 07-23-2012, 07:12 PM

Like I said i knew the Guy from year. Thought him as home boy. From now on I know not to trust anyone

*fliprayzin240sx* · 07-23-2012, 09:45 PM

So how far are you from them? I'd drive over there and bring that engine with me. Then again, $3500 for an almost complete RB26 is too good to be true...guess it really was.

memphis180sx · 07-23-2012, 10:01 PM

id just do a refresh on the whole motor you said your going single turbo anyway so just rebuild it and make it 10 times as realiable. itll probly be cheaper than to keep dealing with those guys.

Silvia479whp · 07-24-2012, 12:02 AM

Reason y I said I wanted a stock long cuz already have 2 built rb26 n I have blown which I could of buily myself but its a was for my bro, I wanted to give stock rb26 long block at 350 no more then that so I bought this fucking motor, n gotburnt

memphis180sx · 07-24-2012, 12:32 AM

i understand man it sucks but what can you do. did he give you a recipt and if so does it say his motors have a warrenty.

ixfxi · 07-24-2012, 09:04 AM

there are 2 sides to every story

if i go buy a motor, i buy it from a reputable shop with a warranty

sounds like you didnt buy it from a reputable shop, nor do you have a warranty
