79 days later, this shows up out of the blue in the mail: Over everything that has happened, all the emails, two failed refunds and all of my wasted time, I finally got something for my money. Upon closer inspection of the adapter, it is clear that it is a very well machined and...

A few more details have popped up in a similar thread I started on celicasupra.com: Original thread: http://www.celicasupra.com/forums/showthread.php?66450-Quantum-Auto-com-(Jake-Breyck)-No-customer-service-to-be-found Also, a good member on our forum who is local to Tampa (where Jake...

Thanks everyone! A mini update: I have been slowly assembling parts in the engine bay, taking care of the little details so they don't hang me up when it comes time to finishing. The radiator's lower mounts have had rubber padding added to isolate and cushion the radiator, and I will do...

What a joke. Live and learn everyone, I will for sure be a smarter buyer from now on. 4U2, I will be getting in touch with you soon! Also, what is your first name? (I like to be on first name basis) -Mike

Ideally, one of the better oil catch designs uses a twin passage system that forces the fumes to the bottom of the tank, runs through a series of stainless mesh (some people just use steel wool), and runs back up the other side to the exit. This can easily be accomplished by just adding a...

Ok gang, it's been another long installment since any real updates. Going against my better judgment, I decided to go ahead and paint the engine bay even though the fab work was not finished for the engine bits and pieces. I simply am at a standstill until my tranny adapting issues are restored...

Indeed, they use to automaticaly resize to fit a more reasonable resolution (1040 or so) on this forum. I may have to go in and resize my library tonight! -Mike

Thanks! Hopefully I can add more updates tonight. A quick pic taken a few moments ago: -Mike

Just got an email from PayPal conerning the refund: Sounds like Jake has already put my money to other uses for himself. I gave him an email, will see if he responds. If he doesn't, I will see about getting the authorities involved if need be. Also, he appears to have two last names...

Well, my PayPal refund was pending untill today ( April 4th), but has now been pushed to "pending until April 17." What a joke. What good is a refund if you don't have the money in your account. Thanks Jake. -Mike

Today (March 30, 2012) at 8:17 PM, Jake (Quantum-Auto.com) refunded my original payment in full via Paypal. Although it is not the way I wish the transaction ended, I am happy he made good on my request to either ship the unit out or refund my order. Thanks to everyone for the help and...

Should be an interesting weekend! -Mike

No matter if this gets sorted out or not, I will most likely be getting what I need from you real soon. I simply can't keep waiting to get this important step of the build finished. Thanks, -Mike

I (Mike O'Brien) have been in a transaction with Jake Breyck (of Quantum-Auto.com) over the past two months about a w58 to 1UZ transmiussion adapter I was told was in stock and ready to ship out the following monday. The payment was sent on Feb 1st, and now on March 30, I have not had any...

Thanks everyone! Life goes on, still waiting for the transmission adapter. It really is the missing piece of the puzzle for now, because I can't fab the exhaust or a majority of the intercooler piping without the engine in its final place. Therefore, I can't paint the bay since fab work...

Yes, I buy things frequently from DIYautotune for my MS builds. Although they do sell a majority of connectors new, the prices are not really justified versus snagging free used units that work fine. The only connector I would like to get new is the EDIS connector. All the other units are still...

Thanks everyone, I enjoy telling the story, so it is always rewarding to hear that people also enjoy hearing and seeing the story unfold! Ok people, it has been another long intermission between my updates. The weather has been fantastic here in eastern Iowa, and I have been busy with lots...

Hopefully more updates tonight! -Mike

Ok everyone, it has been well over a week since I have posted any updates. I have still been on a bit of a standstill as I wait for my transmission adapter. Although I have been waiting to continue with the big projects, I have been keeping myself busy with plenty of smaller projects around...
