interesting bad built motor thread on G35driver.......
I guess the bottom line is having the motor buit, install and tune with the same company is the best solution.
does any boby know if GTM will warrenty their 4.2L stroker engine if they do the install to ?
is there any other company with stroker engine and to install to ? so far I had great experience with GTM and they are only 15 minutes away.

this is not a mindless mob,the thread would have been closed long ago if it was,most asked real questions with no answer.see post #718 and then look at your above quote.you will notice that we have a similiar perspective.

wow it took me a while to go through all this. i feel bad for those who got screwed here. but it seems that every few months something is going wrong with either the motors, the shops, or the owners. i feel like the economy is going to hell, and shops out there are getting desperate. Vinny has treated me and my car very well, which is why i will continue to go to him for work with my Z, and whatever it is he gets into next. when my car was being built vinny built the motor, he ported the heads, put the cams in, and tuned it. when it was anything motor related i knew exactly who to talk to. and once it gets warm here in the north again, vinny is gonna hit the track hard, and i plan on taking my car to the next level. so hopefuly everything gets sorted out and we can come together as a community who share a passion for these cars and go out and represent them the way they should.

LOL..I give up...you only read what you want and quote what you need.
I think you are missing what I am saying. I didn't retract my statement. I just stated that I reread what you posted and I agree with what you are saying. I never disagreed. I was just stating that I like the approach of a shop the builds their own motors better than a shop that outsources. This is not at all Rome's fault. He did do it the right way. Just that he had bad luck in the way his situation has to be resolved because the motor was built by a third party shop.
i wasn't only refering to your motor's in my post,i can't share my personal experience's with gtm motors because it is not my place to share that info.just know that i build high end motors and have been called in to pick up the pieces.also know before someone starts that i have NEVER tried to sell my service on these forums to anyone for any reason.nor do i intend to,my business is waiting list only and argument's/info i share is purely for the benefit of the community.mid-teens huh,what was incuded in that price?

you could have blown someones engine and decided to point fingers at GTM, or you could be a small shop that is jealous of the success at GTM, or you could be a complete nobody who has fantasies of being an engine builder. or maybe you are world reknown engine builder... but if you dont state who you are, what business you represent, and why you REALLY care about the topic at hand, your posts may as well just be deleted because they are of no value. if you would like to add any sort of credibility to your 68 posts and endless hours into this thread, please fill in the blanks...

What does my past experiances with Julian and MRC have to do with the current situation? I hold no grudge against him or MRC (or anyone else).
I didn't bash him, I didn't blame him, I didn't bring up anything from the past. In fact, in the end, as I said in the G35driver thread, I think he went the extra mile for his customers. I don't 100% agree with how he did it but I do believe his intentions did have the customers in mind.
I don't agree with how he did it because of how he did it (ie his dramatic first post in the G35driver thread "threatening legal action against a shop to be named later"), not because him and I have had issues since I purchased my Utec from him at MRC years ago.

With 68 posts in this thread, i think you should be a little more clear exactly what your agenda is. because you are obviously very invested in this, and you cannot be taken seriously with your anonymous statements. i highly doubt you are here to benefit anyone but yourself at this point. your claims have zero value, as a bum off the street could sign in from the library and claim hes some master engine builder with a "waiting list" and had to fix mistakes by others blah blah. are you actually someone? now you are researching the pricing? you are pretty suspicious if not just plain shady. its not your place to share info of your own personal experiences? do you need to ask your mom for permission? seriously?

Did anyone remember THIS thread? I wasn't here in 2004 but I was just doing a lot of searching into motor failures and whatnot and found this . . . .

Seems like the blame game is not new. But Z1 Motorsports is still a sponsor here regardless.

Linky not work or it was deleted..
What exactly did I say that you guys have a problem with?
The only thing I said against Julian is that he has no lawsuit - and I stand by that. To threaten a lawsuit when you have no documentation to back it up is rediculous and typical MRC drama. We all know there will be no lawsuit.
Other then that, like I've now said several times Julian handled the situation in a manner that would provide results for the customer.

one thing that i do not understand is why is this matter being crazed out on the forums. If the 2 companies involved acted like it was a business all this "net" talk wouldn't be necessary. There is no need for one shop to publicly bad mouth another shop childishly over the forums in my opinion. I consider that slandering the name and workmanship of the shop at hand, and perhaps embarrassing your own shops name. This matter should be resolved between the parties at hand and come to a conclusion with themselves like a business should do. (nothing you can do about the customer shouting it out, but hey all legalities between 2 businesses should be handled behind closed doors unless it affects a party of people)
