Exclamation STOID RACING - Damn I'm mad!

As you all know I had my engine total rebuild done by Brian Stoid at Stoid Racing in Texas. It took longer then I was told but I thought, why not there is a lot of custom work being done. Well things started going down hill as soon as I got the engine back.
1. Parts delivered not returned. Had to request them them.
2. The intake cams were installed on the wrong heads. We went around on this one for two weeks. Brain would be called and not return calls. He would try to try it's "OK", the timing might be wrong, the timing belt gears might be on the wrong cam shaft. All kind of BS except, he screwed up.
3. We removed the cam shaft retaining caps to remove the cams and found DIRT on the bearings. DIRT can you believe that ****! Called Brian and again he talked out his ***. Must be dust from shipping or some **** like that. Has the man loss his mind. Those things are so close tolerance there is no way and for him to say that is an insult.
There was also dirt in other areas under the valve covers and not just a little bit. Now I'm afraid of what is wrong in areas we can not see.
I've taken several actions. I've verified he is still in business. Visual.
Contacted Dallas Tx BBB and filed official complaint.
Contacted legal representation in Texas and Az for joint claim. Preparing to have a summons served for civil court.
Preparing a local Dallas newspaper article release to state how I got screwed by a local business in that area.
I will STOP all actions if and when Stoid Racing pays me for all the work I had to have REDONE due to their poor performance.
So, STAY AWAY FROM STOID RACING unless you got time and money to waste.

Angry

UPDATE 10 July 2006 - I have been provided information that indicates Brian Stoid's real last name maybe West not Stoid. If you live in the DFW area and can verify I would appreciate it.

Sorry to hear about the trouble Pal. I know you have pumped your heart into this.

Don't question his motive for going to Stoid. This is the builder of the 400+ 1mz in a MR2 that stomped out most other cars in the Sport Compact shootout 3 years ago.

But with a lack of regard to his customers.........well paying customers at that. This is a disgrace to engine builders.

DIRT???? from shipping. Please.........lets try and brush off the fact that it shows complete and udder disregard for paying clients. I hope the word gets out there for you Greg.
