NEVER AGAIN...

[blaknoize]

...will I buy from OGSkinny. U guys remember that LS Swap? I kno u never saw it, but I bought it. And yes... I drove it home, yes it was running rich and cost me $100 in gas to get home. Turns out it DID have a TPS sensor, so my bad for that one, but... what he didnt tell me is that the motor itself has lots of blow by and its overfueling. #1 piston is failing... car runs worse than the other motor I had in it, it knocks, smokes, gas in the oil... all that.

So I may be gettin outta game like I shoulda did in the first place. Maybe one day I'll be back in it and drive to GA if the EFSquad still exists, but this is to much. I spent $1400 on this motor for nothing. I...I just dont kno what to do.

He sold me a POS motor, so once again. I'ma be out of alotta money and cant drive anywhere.

So I'm outta the game. Later guys.

[Halfwit]

hate to see u go out like this, good luck.

[BABY J]

It's REALLY cheap to get a motor rebuilt to OEM spec. Go see Josh at SlowMotion and see what he's got for you. He's easy to work with.

I'm out of money now... and I'm in Ohio and I doubt the motor would take me back to GA. Unless tax time blesses me or something. I cant afford it. I'll just have to abuse the college loan system, though I dont want to.

EDIT: I forgot about ur dude in Cinci. But still, thats 100 miles from me.

Hard to be a minimum wage baller bro... it caught up to me LOL

[Vteckidd]

Have you done a compression test? hard to blame a bad motor without one.

1) Do a compression test
2) Calibrate TPS sensor
3) Check Ignition Timing
4) Change spark plugs

Until you do that, i wouldnt be thinking the motor is BAD.

[Vteckidd]

LMAO at OVERFUELING, what the F.U.C.K does that mean, and how do you know NUMBER 1 pistons is failing.

Lots of accusations, need more info

Lets find out where to start... The motor RAN Perfect when i delieverd it to you. I didn't expect you to weave in and out of traffic at an estimated 85-95 mph WHEN I CAME AND GOT YOU. I say estimated because he knew the Speedsensor was working in the car.

1. I stayed up for hours on end working on your car 2 days straight to get you home.
2. I TOLD you the speed sensor would throw a check engine light. CEL's will WASTE GAS. No way around it.
3. When the **** did it knock? I wouldn't of sold it.
4. How the **** does piston #1 magically fail? did you do a compression test?
5. What color is the smoke? If it's cold outside it'll be white. YOU HAVE HALF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
6. If there is gas in the oil, it sounds like a leaky injector. I'll find a Injector and send it to you, along with the Correct Speed sensor i pormised and a Throttle body that has the nipple coming out the top so you can hook-up the hoses "Correctly" as you say.

Let's not forget to mention...
1. I drove you home at 2 am one night and picked you up saturday.
2. You called me about EVERY GOD DAMN 15 MINS when i told you i was trying to finish your car.
3. I did everything for you for $1100. I say $1100 beacause you still owe $200, which i will probably never see, but if not then you'll get bad credit.
4. We went over the motor to ensure you'll get home. Also staying up two VERY late nights.


... Oh, and I would like to thank you for Getting my GF to leave me because i HAD to finish your car. THANKS!

[Papa_Smurf]

damn bro.....serious stuff here.

i hope this gets resolved...

but, i rode in the car imediatly after the engine was swapped in skinny's crx, and there was no rod knock, and it pulled STRONG. and i dont think he drove the car very much between the time it was in the crx till he sold it to blacknoize...

just my $.02

[BABY J]

I knew this would turn out like this - me and Dare were discussing it on the phone. I am composing a ALL INCLUSIVE post and then I am done w/ it... like it or not. I'm not gonna rush this repsonse, I have a life - but I'm gonna call it like I see it and it will be sometime before noon.

Mike -- excellent post (as usual).

[cactusEG]

damn homie, Srry to hear u got a bad motor.. Carma is a bitcch

[sakasaku]

dude that man busted his ass for you and his gf left him and he still finished it for u he told u wat would happen and wat u u might encounter and y u would encounter them the problem is u dont listen

[bigdare23]

damn homie, Srry to hear u got a bad motor.. Carma is a bitcch

You can't really jump to conclusion like that.

wait WTF thats not kool

[JDMJAYDC2]

i really hope you have had this motor checked out before coming in here bashing a guy that helped you out! 1 i dont know you guys arrangement but point blank YOU were in a bind and had no choice but to take what was given to you to get you HOME. Nobody knows how you treated the motor on the way to ohio or what else may be going on with that motor. I hate to say it but thats what happens when you rush into something like that. I say fix whats wrong with it when you get cash and keep the bashing down until you find out that its a internal problem. What kills me about this is even though you came in here bashing this guy HE is still willing to send you parts to fix it AND you OWE him money lol to me sounds like you got the better end of the deal and your still bitching for some odd reason. Man up fix your car and keep it moving!

[Thighs]

damn the gf left him... HE should be bitching. thats some **** right there.

[Shadow102]

what i dont understand in the first place is why he didnt talk to skiiny to begin with in stead of airing this out in the open not to mention throwing out terms and diagnosis with out the proper checks

[Vteckidd]

still waiting

idk but it wasnt smart.

very well put

[uproot]

lol skinny is ALWAYS willing to help someone out and putting others before himself, believe me i've seen it first hand tons of times and ive known him FOREVER. this is just another prime example, where skinny gets the **** end of the stick and the other guy just keeps bitchin. seriously man, get the engine checked out, and dont jump to conclusions. skinny wouldnt sell you a **** motor.

[BTLFED]

Something doesn't add up in here. You can't assume it is a bad engine by guessing.

[Grimm Reeper]

I have nothing but good things to say about Skinny, you should check it before attempting to diminish someones credibility.

x2

I mean, if something is wrong w/ it, you dont imediatly openly bash the guy for something that is wrong (might be wrong). you give him the chance to make it better....i think anyone would do that. i mean, the kid spent 2 days swapping the shiit for you, you really think he's gonna go through all of that trouble and give you a shiit motor? without even everything paid in full?

c'mon, think about it. we all know skinny isn't a shady character, and throwing up this thread doesn't prove anything. dont jump to conclusions so quickly. get the motor looked @ by a mechanic to determine what the problem is, and i would bet that skinny would bend over backwords to help fix w/e is wrong.

[cactusEG]

You can't really jump to conclusion like that.

im not, but if its true than shame on the seller...

[BTLFED]

I highly doubt it is true.

[JDMJAYDC2]

so he makes a post bashes a guy then wont come and respond anymore or give updates??

[Papa_Smurf]

so he makes a post bashes a guy then wont come and respond anymore or give updates??

i was just wondering the same thing...

[BTLFED]

Exactly. I'm siding with OGSkinny at this point.

Good point, its sooooo cold up here though and we dont have a garage. (It's 5 degrees) were going to compression test it Tuesday if the weather holds out. And oddly enough, the car runs better without the map hooked up

[Papa_Smurf]

back-pedaling much...lol

[BABY J]

^^ don't stir the pot.

This could be ugly for either party. It COULD be a junk motor, but a CR test is the MINIMUM thing u do when buying a used motor. I never do, b/c I buy a motor used and it's get refreshed (even to OEM spec) before the swap regardless.

[Papa_Smurf]

lol i was just jokin around.

U will see ur money. I'm always good for that. I dont like to do that and not pay up. I pay my dues (except for Wachovia.)
The smoke is black. I get roughly 150miles per tank. "Overfueling" is just something one of my friends tends to say for a car that smokes black. It's getting to much fuel so... the term overfueling is used.

I call alot, because... well, I had to go and I was at least wanting to help or to be of help while up there. Plus u dont REPLY to ANYTHING I need info when I'm stranded trying to get back home and costing me every cent I made for school to break me.

As for the leaky injectors. All 4 of them leave the plugs soakin in gas. And it just sputters and pops and bangs.
The CEL, yes I know that. I was aware of that, thats not my complaint here.

I know u stayed up for hours and hours working on the motor and it was a pain and all as well as me being a pain, but I had to go and it was unexpected.

#1 piston accusation: yea that may be an accusation cuz we havent got around to the compression test yet. There is however oil and gas on the #3 piston, its not like its a big deal. But the car has lots of blow-by (as we say up here, IDK bout terminology on some parts) But theres lots of air puffin around inside the VC.

I kno the difference between white steam and smoke and cat smell. I've BEEN burnt that cat up, lol. And u drive that motor as hard as I do and as hard as I drove my Dseries. IDK how fast I was going the whole trip up here. I was warned by a couple of officers, but I had no clue.

IDK if I answered everything correctly, but it just runs bad... very bad. And with no money and no one smart enough (in America Car Captial of the world) I have no way of resolving these things. Cuz not one person understands how a "Honda" works and there are no parts available up here. No where. Unless I travel to Columbus or West Virginia.

I'm not holding anything against u Ryan, I mean... we do kinda know one
another and I dont need any hate floatin around me or u or on this website.

[EmminoDaGreat]

If you said it runs better without the map, get a new one? that could be your big overfueling issue. Check the cel's, just because it was on because of a speed sensor doesnt meen it cant be on for something else as well. Stutters pops and bangs sound like an issue with your map again, or you have a dizzy on the way out.

[blaknoize]

i really hope you have had this motor checked out before coming in here bashing a guy that helped you out! 1 i dont know you guys arrangement but point blank YOU were in a bind and had no choice but to take what was given to you to get you HOME.

Man up fix your car and keep it moving!

I drove it at some unknown speed, thats all I can tell u. I drive fast, but not like racing it. Yes i got home and maybe this will suck ass if I turn out to be wrong. But still, when u get in a bind u tend to over-react. IDK if u've ever had everything stop u all at once as happened to me, but GOD things never seem to want to.

I owe him money because we (being me and him) both know i needed gas money to make it back. I saved up $1400 dollars and spent it all in 1 day I also dont get paid till the 22nd of this month so I cant just make it appear just yet. Whats funny is he will get paid and this will be resolved. I'm only mad at the result not Ryan himself. Y? I love IA and u guys on here, its a home for me and a place to have fun.

And about u telling me to fix it up and keep it moving. U were the one tellin me that I was dumping money into a wasteful investment. Which I wasnt, but then I magically lost compression in 3 cylinders 2 days before my move (as most of u were aware of.) I cant continue to burn money that I dont have bro. $7 an hour aint gonna cut it. I could do it on my 2 job salary in the growing state of GA, but not here.

[blaknoize]

what i dont understand in the first place is why he didnt talk to skiiny to begin with in stead of airing this out in the open not to mention throwing out terms and diagnosis with out the proper checks

Cuz I'ma noob. I also didnt expect it to get this much publicity. Skinny doesnt reply to his messages in the pm box so I had to do something for answers or at least hostile interjections.

I mighta just fuked myself up with this whole ordeal, but maybe it will go away. Especially if I get it running right.

[Vteckidd]

Jesus, you need to learn how to diagnose a car, if you are going to be in this game, you better learn.

Sounds like you have a bad map sensor, possible ignition problem.

CHECK THE GOD DA.MN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS.

EVERYTHING YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DOESNT POINT TO A BLOWN ENGINE. IT POINTS TO A TUNE UP, SENSOR PROBLEM.

They make cars for people like you, they are called KIAs

[blaknoize]

so he makes a post bashes a guy then wont come and respond anymore or give updates??

No, just no internet access, yall know i STAY on here like I have no life.

[blaknoize]

I've changed the spark plugs, there are not any codes flashing from the ECU. I do know how to diagnose things, but not this. This is new to me. Including the plug wires. (those ones that fit the original plugs seem to not fit the new plugs) IDK y
