How many times has his motor been pulled for "x" reason? I think three times not including the blown engine, which takes a few hours max.

I will *never* recommend fa20club to anyone and in fact I'll tell them to avoid fa20club.
I would have to agree here when it comes to the motor being pulled for x reasons. A proper engine builder will always get the math right the first time! If the parts are not exactly what has been requested, send them back and so it can be done the first time. If the builder flat out missed a calculation... change the builder IMO

I've built a 383 csb from a short block in my garage and installed it in a miata with pretty much no help in freezing ass weather in about half the time this has taken. this isn't even what i do for a living, i'm not even particularly good at the mechanical bits of it. this is not the average amount of time it takes a professional shop full of people to build an engine and put it in a car. not by far.

anyway i hope you get it back soon @Frs300. stop by orlando on your way through if you can i want to see it .

Makes sense. I'll check back in on this thread in a couple months to see if there has been any updates.

This whole thread is like watching a train accident. I feel sorry for Frs300.
I've had my own issues with FA20Crap. FA20Club must be killing it just selling those canned tunes though, probably too busy selling them instead of working on your car.
You've got biggg balls to let this guy work on your car considering all the prior fuckups which have been mentioned. I'm glad this thread has over 71k views.
