THE community for Porsche 996 enthusiasts!

Mr. Joe Deezy, you come across as a straight shooting honest guy just trying to make a buck, but your footprints are all over the internet...
In my time on the forums, I've never seen a single complaint about honoring and repairing any engine that he has built under the "warranty period".
That coming from a guy that currently have near zero respect on two major (now three) Porsche forums. Your motto must be - "There's a sucker born every minute"
You're externalizing, again. I would argue that the people that are active on forums are more informed than the average Porsche owner. What is "tacky" anyway? That's very subjective and I've seen some of the cars you've modified and sold. Don't you think there is probably many people that see the tattoo on your wrist as tacky? To each his own!
What did you buy from Jake Raby?Mrdeezy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:44 pm I will say some nice things about you now. You have made some nice great inventions. You are an expert in your field. I have bought things from you. It will never change the fact that your approach to selling things is similar to a security company or life lock. Your premises is fear and while you have done amazing things for some m96 owners, you have also de valued the 996 cars and hurt the ownership experience of similar enthusiasts.
Actually, cylinder bore scoring was the first mode of failure that Jake Raby documented and has noted that many times on the forums over the years. You must have missed it. The IMS bearing fiasco overshadowed the bore scoring problem because of the attention it received from the class action lawsuit. IMS bearing failure is a quick killer. Bore scoring is slow death that can be caught and remedied if found early.Mrdeezy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:44 pm Do you think its hard to notice that after you equipped cars with ims bearings, sold over to someone. About 60%,of 996 have them. 20 years later there is a new maga key word BORESCORING. People see how you won a small 30k lottery after you notice this on youtube. Just watch your youtube...baby.
Uneducated? Really??? That's your best defense is to insults everyone on the forums? You expect us to see your side when you constantly tear down everyone around you. You seem like a child that is pitching a fit to have candy at the check out line. Unfortunately, we're not giving in to your tactics.Mrdeezy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:44 pm You have brought a lot to the table, you also complain when things do not go you way. I agree with you, you give out a lot of info. I actually made a video for my last bat video that had a ppi in it on your recommendation and nobody cared. Less than 100 views. I have been very positive and supportive of you and your methods. I would invite any conversation about Will's car. There was no malice. Your shameless self promotion on my behalf is gross and negligence. You have a crowd of uneducated people making threats against me. You are so self involved you immediately posted a video killing me. You actually killed Will too.
You promoted the car like it was the holy grail of Porsche 996 Targas. You said it "needed nothing". Your auction stated it had the IMS Solution, but it didn't. The cost of certified installation of the IMS Solution is significantly more costly than a standard retrofit. Every shop is different , but installing the IMS Solution can add another $3,000 - $4,000 to the bill. The part alone is $1800. Should the buyer had insisted on an invasive PPI. Absolutely. The lack of the IMS Solution, balding tires, bend suspension, cylinder bore scoring, etc. would have all been caught.
If your car actually had a non-LN aftermarket bearing and claimed it WAS an LN IMS Solution Bearing installed on the car, I'm pretty sure you'd be in some heat.Mrdeezy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:44 pm You know this. I fear the extravaganza you would have if this was an off brand IMS. You would be on the local news shouting to the rooftops. I know you do not want one of your ims bearings to fail and I can prove what was done with the car. If I had an off brand Ims in the car I am sure you would get your fear monkeys to come after me. It would be your ace in the hole..
I searched the records at Flat 6, and found nothing with Deezy's name on it. Yes, I know his full name, and I searched for anything that is even close to a resemblance. Nothing turned up.What did you buy from Jake Raby?
Jake - you sell these deer whistle thingies, don’t you? That’s probably what he’s referring to.Renn Meister wrote: ↑Sat Aug 29, 2020 8:49 amI searched the records at Flat 6, and found nothing with Deezy's name on it.

Since 2009, all we have only sold engines.... He hasn't bought an engine from me, most certainly.
Just wanted to clear this air, and expand on this.
WAIT! Jake let you use his wrenches? No way...Dr_Strangelove (whew!) wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 9:03 pm I had absolutely no business touching Jake's wrenches when he taught me how to assemble an M97 in our class in Georgia. I came into the room with absolutely nothing to offer, but I had come to learn. Jake answered every single one of my stupid questions. Never once did he roll his eyes, sigh, or act superior toward me. He made me feel as welcome and as competent as any other wrench willing to learn in his classroom. This is why I respect him as a man. Did I pay him money for the class? Of freaking course I did. Just as I wish I had directly paid my professors, but sadly I had paid their bosses instead.
I went home and fixed an engine with my comrade that had come to class with me. We had Jake's continued support since the class had ended for the absolutely insane fee of $0.
I can tell you man, in my field, nobody does ANYTHING for free. Jake is a legend in my book.
