Conflict resolution Part 2

[Alpha D]

If your brother needs wheels come pick up the swirlys. I will give back your white wheels for $200. According to you, those bent wheels can hold air, so it shouldn't be a problem. :rolleyes:

I uploaded this for Alpha simply as something for people to look at. I'm in no way speculating on the legality of it.

[Alpha D]

My part IS ON PAPER! That dsm is not in good working condition! I wanted my money back he wouldn't return it. I asked nicely still NO! He wants his wheels back i want my money back, plus all that i have put into it. Until then he is not getting his wheels back!

For clarification Pick:
- Refund at least $200 In order to receive the (white) wheels
-Return full payment of car plus money invested (I have receipts for everything)
-Those two are your options
If you have something better something sensible let me know.

I agree with kracka, I think it would be best if the both of you just cut your losses, leave each other alone, and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

x2 I agree, work something out with the whole wheels issue via PM, phone, telegraph, smoke signal, whatever and leave it at that.

Also, the english is seriously lacking in this thread, we aren't english teachers here, but for crying out loud this is rediculous.

How does this sound? My brother gets back in town on the 3rd of December. We will meet up in personal and discuss this all together in person.

That way, everyone can explain their side of the story outside of the forum.

I don't want an e-brawl. I still feel I'm entitled to the rims, but we will talk.

For now, hold on to the white rims.

[Kracka]

Great idea, discussing face-to-face will be far more productive.

For the entertainment of people reading this. When i did the compression test! I got a reading of 100-1st cylinder 100-2nd cylinder 115-3rd cylinder and 120-4th cylinder.

A car I had back in the day would leak oil and coolant into the exhaust and had real low compression due to extended head bolts. I would pull them all out and measure them to make sure they are in spec.

I dont know off the top of my head how long they should be, but you can look it up in the factory service manual. After making sure they are all ok, torque the head back down exactly as shown in the FSM.

I would have to say that he shouldn't have to be responsible for the money you have put into repairs. IF he absolutely did not know to the best of his knowledge that the repairs you did were needed.

If not, then you two should probably negotiate something for that also. Possibly split the cost? (just a suggestion)

[Alpha D]

All this goes back to taking his word for what he claims again! We all know it did not turn out well the 1st time i took his word for it. I already cut my looses in paying for gas, tool rental, etc! If he was willing to split the bill. Hey that is fine with me.

here's my take on it. chim you sold it as is claiming it was in good working order. as is would be with the wheels. and alpha you bought a non running car with out checking it out properly. to both of you tough live and learn and move on.

and alpha as for a whole $400 into your car that is nothing I have many thousands into fixing up my car and many to go and many others have a lot more than me into their car. so for now you're not too bad off
