It would be great if you would answer your phone and work something out. You sold me a car which has no compression. I even told you when i get back i will go over the Vehicle. The car is no use to me now, I had to fix the coolant problem in the car, the car is tuned horrible. It shuts off while driving....the list goes on. My main concern is the burnt exhaust valves...i would liek you to take the car back or pay for the repairs...

I hope he gets back as well i have been calling him but he doesn't respond...I went to pick the car up. Once i got there car had no BOV on it. He told me Welder broke it i was like okay thats fine. Then he told me the car shuts off on him, it hesitates on top under boost. Man i flew down from NC you should have told me this stuff before i came down...am i right? The car was running stock IS300 fuel pump. Well when we picked up the car filled up gas...it wouldn't crank back up...then 15 minutes later it did. I was like wtf...! Then when i got back to NC, i changed the oil on it. Put it on the Dyno to do regular street driving with AFR and Boost reading. The car runs fine under normal driving but under boost it sits at 9.5. The map was all over the place. Then i did one pull and car made 140WHP with 253TQ...at 14 psi. Then started breaking up after 4500rpms. So next day i take the spark plugs out to see what they are gapped at...they were stock plugs for a 2JZGTE gapped to .50 i was like damn. So i gapped them at .40 around stock spec. Then i was like lets do a compression test. It comes out to be from the rear to the front of the motor; 120, 120, 120, 90, 50, 115 I was like damn car is not even cold. So did a leak down test to see if it was the head gasket or something else (As when i got the car the reservoir was not hooked up right, radiator cap was broken so the car was not holding coolant pressure) So after the leak down test found out the Exhaust Valves are gone.

I called Josh and told him all this, i was like either take your car back and we will pay for your ticket to NC or at least pay for the repair on the Head. He told me he will call me back in couple of hours and that was last night. No calls, so i have been calling him all day and no answers!

From just reading this thread here and on my.is I gathered that it was a solid swapped IS that drove like stock. Wouldn't be that bad if you paid 6-7K for the car but it sounds like you are into it for more.

I'm not getting into an argument over this. Please refer to this thread if any concerns.

http://my.is/forums/f114/compression...bility-423403/

Funny that the compression result numbers changed from what you told me over the phone as I wrote them down and even questioned if you were doing it right or if your gauge was good. Oh and you even changed the supposed dyno results, you think I'm a retard why do you think I wanted to get off the phone so quickly....I knew you were lying the whole time. I called a couple machine shops right away and talked to some big time engine builders as soon as I got off the phone.

Simple fact is car would of never made it to NC on any of those numbers you claim.

GJ.

BTW zeb if I was trying to rip you off why would I let you use my damn tag to drive back to NC with? If I don't receive it in the next week by next Wednesday I'm reporting it stolen so I hope your standing by your word on return of it and my tag cover. Ill still ship the harness and transmission but this BS with me being at fault for any damage is void. Pm me.
