The highly unprofessional Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti (part 11)

I am actually willing to say a couple good things today that Colletti Motorsports managed to get somewhat right.  Let's look at the next thing Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti said in his BBB statement.

"One of our mechanics, Bill, drives the car and says it has no brakes and the suspension is shot. John (Olds) talks with Bill and he agrees the car needs more work. We convert the brake system to a "Hydrovac," and rebuild the entire system. We also repair and upgrade the suspension and steering. We install extra gages for boost pressure, water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel pressure and install a custom shifter."

The brakes had not acted right for awhile and I wasn't happy with them.  So I do agree with Bill saying the brakes weren't right.  As far as the suspension, it just needed new shocks.  Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti makes it seem like the coil springs and a-arms and whatnot were all bad, but what else would we expect by now from a lying thief?

They did convert the brake system and added shocks and some new steering parts to make the steering "tighter."  This I was pretty much happy with.  Except that Bill forget to install something with the steering, which he showed me one day and I forget what it was offhand.  I had paid good money to get these new steering parts which had "tighter" tolerances and more durable seals/cushions.  Bill said he was not going to "go back in" to install this part.  So I assume he never did install that part that was designed to be much better than the OEM.  I should have said something but Bill was my friend and I just didn't.

I was happy with the shifter installation, I will say.

But I do want to talk about this time, my car was there, a little further.  When I had gotten the car back the first time, it was not tuned and Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti wanted me to put miles on it to "seat the rings" before he tuned it (he never did tune it, by the way).  I did not understand why he never put the miles on himself so he could just tune it and totally finish the car.  Since summer was practically over (end of July), and I had lost out on the time that I really wanted the car back (which remember was promised to be done at the beginning of March), I took the car back to get these extra items done (brakes, shocks, and steering).  I told Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti to put the miles on it while it was there, so the engine would finally be done.  I wanted the car back fully tuned and finished with around 500HP which was promised to me.  He said ok but never did it.  

I had written several emails asking Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti to please put the miles on it himself and finish the car.  He just never did.  I think he was afraid that his work was no good and the motor would blow, and that is why he never finished it.  He was hoping it would blow up while I had it and he could just blame me, which he has.

Also, somewhat luckily for Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti, I upgraded the operating system on my computer and lost a lot of my emails I had saved where I had asked Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti to please finish and tune my car.  I had, I would say, at least 3 emails asking him this.  But if it ever came down to it, I can take my computer into a computer specialist and have the emails recovered to prove I am not lying.
