I know a lot of it is his job. He has been considering selling it because he travels regularly and seems to have a somewhat demanding job.

Oh, and anyone who is considering going 2JZ, contact PRS2K. He has been a HUGE help. He's been kind of the guinea pig for all of this stuff so he knows what works and what doesn't. Almost everything I'm doing with my car is due to him or his advisement.

I've had a few customers other than marcus tell me some really horrible stories about 50/50 racing as well.

It just makes sense posting a region-specific shop review on a international forum, doesnt it?

many many many people post up their experince with shops.

Holy poop! I knew part of the story, but this is way over the top.

You mentioned doing business out of his one-car garage. Is this in a residential area? If so, that can be put to a screeching halt if he hadn't aplied for some kind of permit, IIRC. Once you learn the full extent of the damage/switched parts, have you considered compensation?

I feel absolutely terrible for you.

Wow, that is some crazy shit!!!

I have a CM clutch in my car and bought it from Inline-Pro and it does not come with an OEM Preasure Plate, I will stick with Inline for any major work I get done.

THIS SHOULD BE STICKIED

Im glad you got this out in the open.
I could be wrong but I thought most clutch kits use re-worked OEM plates. My clutch masters kit as well as my ACT had HONDA stamped on it.
Sorry for your problems.
