He's a delusional, misleading, persistent, consistent, convincing talker who thinks he's capable of the world. For the last year I've been contemplating on airing out how he conducts business but given the current circumstances, I regress. As of recently his willingness to satisfy his current customers is comical given his recent past.

I'm sure he's hovering over the forums right about now and I should get a response soon explaining the contradictions. Trying not to pollute this section of the forum with this has been nearly impossible. If he's holding true to you then I suppose that's the only thing that matters.

Yeah, well I was about a 20 min away from his old shop until he had to leave that place for reasons I won't share at this moment in time. "Payment plans", make sure you get that in writing. Workmanship questionable at best when dealing with more extensive builds. Make sure you get everything in writing and signed especially when dealing with people who don't have the REP! Talk to VAXheadroom, as he's recently dealt with Mike.

Correct. I actually turned the engine while looking at the 2

only gets 2+ 1 ? I think the ecu needs the 2 wave paterns that
the 2 sensors generate wich are identical but one is a few degrees
ahead of the other one. Im trying to get in touch with microtech
to see if im correct. Also another person toldme to see if there is an immobilizer,
are this cars equipped with immobilizer??
Guys, thanks for the help.

That would do it, I'm assuming you re-used your housings for your rebuild?

Not quite, if he's already rebuilding your engine and is making progress then stay with it, don't be so quick to change engine builders. What I'm suggesting is that make sure you get all details in writing and ask VAXheadroom (forum member) about his experiences with Mike as he's just had his engine done by Mike I think.

Waiting for your license first would be your best option... There's always Ray at PFSupercars.

Yeah, but gets the Job done properly... Basic engine rebuilds start at $4600. Sometimes hard to get in contact with, because he's always busy with all the FD's
