My fault for trusting so called "friends" I guess. I am one of the examples SKIP listed. I gave them 5k up front, followed by ALOT more, for parts and labor on a race motor I was supposed to recieve in a couple weeks. I told them from the beginning money was not a issue, and every one around at the time (Alpha, X, Drew, Z, Miuel, etc) knows I was not cutting corners in any way. Hell I ordered a set of $1100 custom pistons for my 6 bolt from Skip. Bottom line not only did they keep my money but they sold all of my parts ( Block, Crank, Head, Cams, Gears, Brackets. I have honestly never recieved ANYTHING I paid them for. I even bought a car from them with the promise they would get me the title... GUESS what???? Never happend. So there went even more money. I got pissed and gave the thing away because it did me no good without a title.

Now before anyone starts saying that it was at one particular shop they were affiliated with, TRY AGAIN!! I started all this as a friend paying friends to build my motor in their back yard under Brother"s" Racing. Then it followed them to Brother"z" Racing where I finally realized they were screwing me Thanks to actual friends who happened to work there and were seeing my parts being sold off. I ended up contacting their co-owner (money man) to see if he was aware of what they were doing, and he told me there were several others in the same situation.... Alpha and X were working there and they tried their best to make things right, but in the end I got a unusable combination of parts thanks to an equally shitty individual who overuled them. After that they opened another shop "BVP" and a friend of mine told me they wanted to talk and make things right. Like an idiot I let them convince me it wasnt their fault and they offered to build my motor for free. I wanted to test waters before I started throwing money into parts again so I ordered some gaskets, balance shaft eliminator kit, and bolts. 3 months later they still hadnt ordered the first parts. Then I find out they were not part of BVP due to similar issues...Anyone see a pattern here???? I will leave it at that, form your own opinion, I've moved on and scrapped the whole idea. I just dont like to see others get screwed!

Now, just to show the charcter of Drew and Z at Darkside.... While all this was going on I was getting advice and hanging out at darkside. They new Rob and Dave were supposed to be building my motor and they never tried to get my business away from " Brothers ". When the shit finally hit the fan I went to Drew and Z to get them to put together a great setup for me in a timely manner. They worked after hours and weekends to try to get me going as soon as possible. Not to mention I got what I payed for and then some!!!
