Well now that everything is finally done. I feel like I can share this story.
Last year around august I decided I could finally afford to buy my NSX. I shopped around and found one for sale here that was within a few hours. I will leave the members name out of this because well its done and over with so i dont feel like dragging him through the mud. Anyhow we make the deal, I pick up the car, drive it home. I go to get the car tagged and guess what? The name on the title isnt the name of the person I bought it from (same first name, different last names.) So kansas refuses to title it, i call the seller and explain it to him and he says he dosent want to spend the 800$ to get it tagged and gives me the original sellers name. After 2 months of emails and phone calls I finally get ahold of the original seller and explain to him the situation and he is infuriated.
Turns out he sold the car to the person I bought it from because he screwed up his back real bad. He sold the car to the person I bought it from for 21k$. The person I bought it from flipped the car to me in less then 4 weeks time for 30k$. So after 7 months of paying for my car, i finally got it tagged and legally in my name. Finally got the new clutch installed and everything is shiny! Now to do the valve adjustment and wp/timing belt and then shes off to the paint booth.
Lesson learned here, always check credentials and dont ever take anyones word for it.
Oh and big thanks to Tim Moresch for hooking me up with a great clutch at a great price!!!!
I'll have pics of the tear down and rebuild of the tranny and motor. My friends Jeremy and Jeff at Carstar collision here in wichita sacrificed there weekend to help me install the new clutch for the price of a case of beer and some pizza. They are top notch! :biggrin:
