of course you would have thrown them away, why? cause you dont know the whole story..oh and by the way? it wasent "junk" it was my stuff and i used to work there, i asked before i brought the stuff to the shop...and it was away from anyone tripping or scratching anything like the "lot o nice car's." they have there..beside's the whole reason the stuff was there was because louie was going to help me do the drivetrain swap the day my t2 diff was stolen..**** happen's and i know that. OH WELL I'LL GET OVER IT, so know your role and shut the **** up..

Well , If I was the owner of the shop and those parts are not from a paying customer I would of thrown them away right away , the reason is simple, a shop is a shop......... not a storage place, unless you're paying them every month for junk storage . If you're not careful with junk....... the shop becomes a junk yard, and junk is dangerous it will scratch cars and make people trip .
I recently went over there and their shop is like 100 times cleaner , which it makes sense since now they're doing a lot o nice cars including 250K built Porches and 3 Rotor 700HP set ups.

i dont know about how they are in person but the ar i had owned was worken on by 3R and indeed it was a bit of a mess, plus i dont know whether the previous owner(buddy of mine) spent the right money or what not but the work they did was pretty messy, on the other hand i dont know the whole story but from what i heard they were lagging and werent getting nothing done it took months to get it done and hassling them to get it done but this was almost 2yrs ago things might have changed,
havent had a problem with lucky7 at all, has been 2 great years going to them and for a small shop they manage to get cars in and out, pretty fast even when they are busy...
since nelson told me he works there now, thats the only person whom i let work on my car at that shop....but about this pricey thing, IMO the reason people say is because they have no money or wont bother spending it, i mean if you want excellent work spend the money otherwise save it up till you can afford it..or not even try to go fast because it cost money!. i had to vent cuz i just hear whining!

Work is not always commensurate with money, but a lot of rebuilds/work done is based on used parts. Also, developing a rapport with somebody who is going to be working on your car is important. I've heard great things about RR&R and Lucky7. I think Lucky7 is the way to go for a budget build honestly. They've always been upfront on the forum and a lot of guys know them.

Hey Nelson,
Jose is our friend and I just spoke to him. He towed his car away from Lucky 7, because he did not want to run the engine before you tuned it. While idling his car on his front driveway unattended, a fuel leak lead to an engine fire.
He did not blame us, because all we did was install the engine into the car, and never ever started it. We did not get to test the car (per owner's request) like we do all of the cars we work on.
So...
