Your CLK to the tach lead is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. The stock distributor wiring didn’t need to change between the Y5 and the H22 just the plug…obviously the work of quack StricFab.

Didn’t tighten nuts to the intake mani? Here’s a surprise…I didn’t get to finish the car. When it left my garage the harness wasn’t even connected to the intake mani sensors at all. Don’t cite work I did that you don’t even know first hand if I did or not. > > I instructed the quacks at StricFab on what was what, the fact that they can’t follow simple instructions is hardly my problem. No, the problem was that someone else even had to follow your instructions…you had 9 months to finish the car, so why the hell couldn’t you tighten a few intake manifold bolts, put an adapter harness in it and get the car done? you charged 9000 dollars for an H22 swap w/ 5 speed conversion and to rattle can the engine bay… AND STILL DIDN’T GET THE JOB DONE!!! Face it homey, if you’re going to rip someone off for that much money, at least get the car done. The quality of most of the work wasn’t that bad. So a couple of wires were fucked up on it…big deal. whether or not you wired it up or want to blame it on strictfab, i could honestly give a rats fuck less. if you did switch around the plug for the distributor, don’t feel bad, it’s a common mistake i’ve seen others do before. if you were going to make your own OBD2-OBD1 harness adapter, then i’m sure your wiring might have worked, but i’m gonna guess you would have ripped her off for about 300-400 dollars for a “custom” harness adapter when one is commercially available for about 100 bux that works just fine, but i’m sure you’ll ridicule me for using one in her car. ---

> [@Be\_Rad](#): > > Theres 2 sides to every story with a bunch of bullshit in between. let me take close to 10k off you, give u a non running car, you say ur side, ill say my side, and call that bullshit then. bullshit is a couple hundred dollar fucking. this is thousands of dollars. i’d say that qualifies as not bullshit, and just a shady person who took advantage of someone they considered a friend. with friends like that, who needs enemies. Pittspeed is used as a tool for others in the pgh area so they dont follow into these footsteps, hence why i wont let this get deleted. if u delete this, thats saying it is ok for people and shops in this area to get away w/ this shit. ---

I’d love to see pics of the damage that was done to the car. I could see that being a major pain to fix, but still… Was any of this written down or was this all verbal? Was a finish date ever given? ---

The car was wrecked 2 yrs before he got the car…car was repaired by Dean Honda…I personally came over…after the motor was out and cleaned the engine bay…I have pics of that …not that close up…I’m not an auto body expert but I honestly never seen anything change in the area of repair from where Honda had touched it… I’D ALSO LIKE TO SEE THESE PICS AS PROOF? ( of the repair ) Nothing was written down, I just have receipts for the parts I bought directly through him and the labor I paid him. When the car was first taken in he told me no longer than 2 months…Now I can understand shit comes up( you can’t plan for everything ) Since he requested money upfront ( I saw the need that there be a completion date ). Then 2 months became 4 months and so one. There were amount of times I was given the usual " it will be done with in the next week…, month…" obvious that wasn’t the case. After half a year you start to figure “whats another month”…then it was 10 months. THAT WAS TOO LONG ---
