FRS300 Rebuild Has Begun..Blown Motor to Built Monster

This is just laughable at this point. First red flag would be the lack of (at the very least) grammatically correct posts. Shows sloppiness. Regardless if the parts are scarce or custom, this build should have been done a long time ago. With as much facetime as this build gets, this build should be #1 priority for the shop, period.

No its not just toni doing the work

Why was valve lash not measured when the motor was being built? If it was measured then why were the correct shims not installed at that time? If they went to the extent of having to pull the motor, I assume it was installed already, started, valve-train was making a racket and then it was determined valve lash was not set properly and necessary to again pull the motor? If that is not the case then how did they determine they needed to pull the motor to shim the valves? Not trying to be an ass, or stir the pot, but trying to understand where the problem occurred.

I sure hope they get you car figured out soon.

I would take the car to someone else at this point.

I was also curious a month ago when they didn't notice the water channels were screwed up and had to tear it down again when it started leaking.

I am wondering why this car is taking so long. I have been following this thread, anxiously waiting to see the car finished and the numbers it will produce.

It appears (this may not be the case, but this is how it appears to me) that this project has not been given priority, at all.

I read posts, and see vids of other projects that FA20club has finished, but this car has been there for what, over 6 months?

Did FRS300 do something to piss you off? It seems that he has been more than nice, and beyond patient, and yet still we get updates about this, or that being fucked up, and again why the car isn't done yet.

I'm not trying to instigate anything, or trying to be a ****, but this thread is the reason I chose a different company for my turbo kit. If this car had been finished and posting numbers, I would have chosen FA20club for the turbo kit, and probably would have gone for the fully built motor as well.

I would think that with a thread like this with high visibility and so many people watching and waiting, that FA20club might put off some other projects or customers and get this car done. It just doesn't seem right.

Every time i see a new vid, or new thread, or hear about a new product from FA20club, I think about FRS300's car, and it bums me out.

I hope I don't piss anyone off at FA20club, I'm just stating my thoughts about how things appear. I may be way off base, and if so, please excuse me.

I know I personally would be beyond depressed at this point.

I really hope FRS300 gets his car back and running as soon as possible.

would be nice if @FA20Club.com got it done ASAP
