>justin, its not about your swap. everyone knows you have a 1mz, and yea, its sitting in the bay on 2mounts, whoopdie ****ing doo.
its everything else.
everytime i ever talked to you, all you ever did was talk ****, and tell lies.
You wasted my time, and dustins time. The simple fact that you couldnt get your **** together, when you had 2 full weeks to prepare, shows your lack of planning and preperation, and yes, I felt disrespected by your lack of caring that dustin and I both took the time to try and help you, and you couldnt even have the decency to call me and tell me not to waste 5+hrs driving to your place and back for nothing.
Im done with you.
It is on all 4 mounts.
Aside from that, I do agree with you on most everything else. Yeah, my **** wasn't together, and yeah, I should have test fit that flywheel. I apologize for that 1000x over man. I appreciated the fact that you took your day to come help me out, and I apologize if I came off as ungrateful. The simple fact is, I was way in over my head, and I'm glad for you telling me that. I realized I needed some serious help with a lot of things, and I had to reach out to get that help. I was just too proud to admit it. Likewise, I felt disrespected by you calling me a liar. Yeah, Imay have thought I was prepared...I wasn't at all. I feel looking back I should have just been more upfront. I did go through the engine, I got a lot of receipts for new stuff, so I didn't do as much prep work as I should have. I legit thought it was good to go.
What Ishould have also shared is the need for that motor to be in the bay that night. I don't need to go into specifics, but let's just say Ishould have been upfront about that as well. I was rapidly approaching a deadline (which isn't anyone's problem but mine), and I was just so grateful for the offer that I felt no matter what, we could have gotten it done.
I am reaching out to apologize for my conduct towards everything. Believe you me, I made some mistakes (well, a lot of them), and I don't like being known as a douchebag. I was looking through some of my posts, and was quite appalled at them. Posting drunk, catching attitudes, etc. That isn't me at all. That includes sugarcoating some of the progress made. All that I would like to put behind and move forward.
Take it for what you will, but I'm standing up and admitting my faults. What matters here is that we're all enthusiasts, and I wish Ihad the time and energy of everyone else doing swaps. I felt the need to brag, when Ithink I should have sttod up and said "yeah, progress isn't happening for x reason." No one likes to admit that they can't even find an hour uninterrupted to do some work on their car. That's why I paid someone to fix the Saab. Looking back, maybe I should have paid someone to do the swap. I still feel I'm in too deep and all the hard stuff is behind.
I guess what I'm saying is this: thank you for being you. I respect that 100%, and I wish Ihad half the balls and Celica skills you do. You made me take some steps back and realize Iwas heading for a disaster on this swap and needed help. I've done swaps, but nothing this intense with wiring, fabrication, etc
At the end of the day, I've said what I needed to say. Take it for what you will.
I see how it is Batman.
