I absolutely hate to do this but this has gone under the cover farrrr too long. Many of you know I've been messing with the 2MZ motor and the 3MZ for a long time now. I actually originally planned all this 2 years ago. I bought close to 1500 dollars worth of parts from Gabe. All the gaskets I'd need, the 3mz block, a trans, supra maf, injectors, walbro fuel pump, and the list honestly just goes on and on. I told him i'm pulling my engine out 2 winters ago. November 2010 my original 1MZ came out and told him to send me all my parts and gaskets so I can assemble my 3mz block with the 2mz I had bought. It shouldn't have taken more then a week or 2. I started waiting 3 weeks for the parts to come in but they were always "in a box at his storage" looking for time or other parts. I couldn't wait any longer since I got a new job and I needed a car to drive and emissions were coming up. I was forced to put the 2mz in because I couldn't wait longer. I kept waiting for him to send me my parts but I never got them. I went about 7 months with the 2mz waiting for the gaskets to come in to do teh swap in fall or the next winter.
A better car came up so i lunged and bought that (my current 02 6spd maxima) and the winter of 2011 that was turbod. now the time has come where my timing cover in my 2mz cracked due to a bolt snapping and my avalon is sitting in the middle of my garage forcing me to now drive my 02 maxima thats boosted and on coilovers through chicago winter when I had an easy swap lined up in the avalon, but no, I'm forced to now drive my maxima, lose garage space, and have my avalon sit for 3 MONTHS now because I STILL DONT HAVE EVERYTHING. All i have is the block, trans, intake mani gaskets, head gaskets, and valve cover gaskets. I ordered 500+ dollars of parts THAT I DONT HAVE. I don't have money to just throw away, I'm 20 years old and working my ass off to go to school and work and play with my cars.
Gabe, it's been 2 years since we originally ordered the parts, and 3 months since i told you my motor is coming out FOR THE SECOND TIME. Where are my parts???
You don't answer my calls, texts, facebook messages or anything. I'm sick of the excuses.
I want my money or my parts.
