Advanced Automotion Sucks but still kicks vast in the balls.

B5 S4/ RS4
#1

Scott DeWitt @ advanced automotion has been selling used parts as new for years. I have had several B5 friends with bunk transmissions. If your looking for a cheap transmission with used parts just before you sell your car then Advanced is your game.

The thing I find funny is while scott has been caught in about 30 lies on what he has or has done only to be caught each time as a complete liar this last one is just bottom of the barrel.

Scott used to sell cleithces for vast and used to sulpply vast with clutches several timies scott@aytomotion would go in threads and say how good vast clutches are only to themn have this gem show up on AZ the otehr day before it got deleted

[quote] QUOTE= Scott@AdvancedAutomotion
That’s because VAST was all smoke and mirrors. Their clutches were nothing but word play and lots of hype. All of their quoted specs were grossly exaggerated. Truth is VAST clutches used extremely cheap materials which people paid a premium price for.

So Add this to the list of things that scott has lied and scammed people on. Way to go scott. Maybe you can kick vast harder now that they can’t peddle your used crap parts

LOL, you just got a +1 from me. I use to hate on AA pretty bad when failed rebuilds came across our bench at stasis. The last time I called him out on AZ it was about him spewing misinformation on center diffs and he rallied his troops to try and bash me but it didn’t work.

I don’t know if you will remember this but I was STRONGLY on your side on that one. All my stuff got deleted along back to your last comment. It was only two posts but still.

This was sveral years back. A buddy of mine sent him 1 tranny years ago that needed a rebuild. Scott claims great prices. When we got the transmission back it was jacked and not rebuilt correctly. We sent him teh transmission back he then put ALL USED PARTS IN IT and it ran good foer a whi9le

so then about 4 months later my same friemnd had the same 2nd transmission scott sent him fail. So under my name we setn him 2 transmisssions.

This time we stamped the parts inside and sent him

1 transmission that had all new parts… I MEAN NEW… We stamped all the parts so we could see what was changed…well we stamped what parts could be stamped.
and then
1 transmission with used parts that he already rebuilt and it failed after about 6000 miles hard miles but sill. Lots of highway

What did we gert back… well I don’t think this is going to be a shocker tyo anyone

the transmission that we sent with ALL NEW PARTS was now a FRESH REBILD with ALL OUR NEW PARTS REMOVED AND REPLACED with pitted deffinitly high miles parts… The cyncros wrere used but still had life on them when we paif for new ones and all teh brand new main shaft shift collor and gears were now USED parts.

The second trans but rebuilt by scotty 3 times now had some better life parts but none of teh cyncros were new. The shift color was new but that was about it.

Ive caught so many of his lies he said he has rebuilt motors olny to cath him in that lie 4 times now. and I have no respect for soemeon that pimps a company then kicks them when there down. ESPECIALLY when he made money off it.

oh and a pluss one for you for the back in the day team work :slight_smile:

#4

why would you send him a new transmission to be rebuilt? Kind of an expensive experiment, no? Shipping alone would make this insane.

#5

Kind of an expensive experiment YES a set up as well called it.

It was a old transmission with new parts. brand new. The guts exploded with a pinshaft broke the transmission needed new cyncros springs anda few other bits. The transmission worked but it neded a rebuild

#6

I am pretty sure I know who you are talking about…

#7

Well sounds like im glad i just bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt mine myself instead of buying a whole trans from him like i was thinking of doing

#8

This isn’t transmission related even though I have heard about some of his shady practices. I had a buddy that posted about needing a new spider hose. Scott Pm’d him right away saying he could sell him one at said price and it would ship out right away. Made the sale and proceeded to ship it over a month later.

He just seems like the shady type of guy/business that pm’s people to steal sales and sell less legitimate products. Take one look at his website and it should be clear what type of person/business you are dealing with. It kind of reminds me of what Vast’s website used to look like…

#9

actually, it looks EXACTLY like JHM’s website…

Put me in the list of Automotion sucks. When I got my S4 just a few months ago the previous owner said he was waiting on them to get the transmission rebuilt. It took forever and the Automotion rebuild of the transmission is IMHO for shit. shifts were worse then stock. The past owner got suckered into treated gears The dam transmission sounded like a rock crusher 4speed.

Turns out the “Rebuild from Advanced Automotion” needed to be rebuilt just after it was installed. The bearings were used and bad from day one. Turns out the “Rebuild” was as many have said. Passed on used parts. After I got a proper rebuild the transmission runs shifts great.

DUDE the guy is a fucking con artist.

He has been caught many a time in a lie. The guy is so fucking defperate he goes into every JHM thread hoping to cabitilize on the JHM suscuess by picking up scraps and hopeing to scam someone with his never ending con.

Here is JUST ONE OF the now 15+ lies that Scott the scam artist has been caught in.

It started with this post in the A4 3.0 Section

[QUOTE=BCsniper;6517693]^^^
The 3.0 has Metal Sleeved Cylinders so it should be able to hold quite decent power. It is also being held back much more than the 4.2 so the same mods will be incredibly beiinefficientficienticial to the 3.0. Be a Nay-Sayer if you want…
[/quote]
This is in a 3.0 and JHM thread… Then the broke and utterly pethetic Scott posted this.

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced the constant scam aritst]That’s odd the 3 3.0 blocks I have here all have aluminum cylinders similar to the V8.
[/quote]
Note how he said BLOCKS… more then one… if you wait two posts it changes to

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced scam astroridanare]Reasoning or not this 3.0 block I keep tripping over has aluminum cylinders. I’ll post pics in a bit.
[/quote]
So this guy claims to have a block… not blocks… there is lie one… and he is tripping over it and there are no signs of cylinder sleeves… keep in mind its fucking obvious the 3.0 has sleeves you can see it from about 10 feet away.

After scott the scam was called out and more then one technical data sheet was posted along with pictures then the answer chenged to this.

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced the caught in yet another lie]Hey guys I’m eating crow right now. I snapped a few pics of the 3.0 liter block we are building… and yes the cylinders have a steel/iron sleeve which was quite a surprise. I don’t understand why on theV8’s Audi would use alu-sil cylinders, yet on the 3.0 V6’s they are steel!

Give me a few days to post up pics…
[/quote]
several months later no picture and clearly no motor there. This is the 3rd time this dusche bag has told people he is rembilding a motro only to reviel that he has no clue what he is talking about and its been proven that he never has had any of these mtoors.

No suprise. you can tell the guy is talking out his as when he posts. am i the only one that notices how he has to pop into ther peoples threads wehre they the other companys or memerbs are talking about there sucuess only to make a frail attempt to add his .02 99% of the time to be wrong.

the last gem was this. hello mr desperate

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced;]Great way to tear up your first gear. Do that 20 more times and call
me.
[/quote]
Not only did no one ask but there have been hundreds of guys that take there cars to teh track and laungh them hundreds of times. Look at how some B5 guys have hundreds of apsses. not one of them ever complains how 1st gear is bad. Only this joke of a looser would try to add a panic to peopel to try and get busniess

Here is a real easy way to spot a liar.

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced The lies mount]Wow that’s news to me but coming from you that’s not surprising.

I’ve never sold used clutches, I’ve never sold VAST clutches (Southbend and the B5 RS4 kit only). I’ve also never sold Jfunkey or his friends a transmission (let alone 3).

I’ve always been critical of VAST clutches, because of the manner they were advertised.

Yes I sell used parts, so does JHM and just about everyone else.

I’ve had no business relationship in any manner with VAST (other than drop shipping customer parts to them). VAST didn’t sell me stuff and I didn’t sell theirs.

Yes I reuse transmission parts, gears and shafts are extremely expensive and replacing 100% of everything internal would result in extremely high prices. Syncros, the 1-2 collar are always replaced.

Snowtrooper has never seen one of my rebuilt transmissions (in fact the reverse is true, i’ve overhauled about a dozen Stasis units and they don’t bother using the updated parts). I’ve sent one USED transmission to Stasis to be rebuilt for 034 VERY long ago (4-5 years).

.
[/quote]
First lie. He dosn’t know my name or my friends name so how can he say he didn’t sell the transmission. not only that but this wasn’t a sold transmission this was a rebuilt…

scott sold the same clutches as vast… so he is a joke. then he said he didn’t have a busniess relateion ship with vast only to then say he shipped parts to customers for vast… one of the parts were the clutches that were the same clutches as vasts.

the dude replaces shift collors and syncros with other used ones and charges people like they were new.

Scott has no way of knowing what snowtrooper has or hasn’t seen. not only that but snowtrooper is WAY more respected then this continous liar scott.

Ask mike at wicked motorsports about scott and his shitty work. the list goes on and on. Jutst in this little post it seems much has been revieled.

These people have always been haters since I do better work, for less cost than their favored vendors.

ChrisK fix your formatting on that post. It’s all funked up (not jfunked up, but quotes are screwed and that yellow is illegible for the guys on the site on the blue/grey colour scheme)

As for this, this is pathetic

So let me get this straight…you are ‘building a block’…(or is it blocks)…but don’t know ANYTHING about that motor’s cylinders? And members like BCSniper, who only owned a 3.0 for like 1 year, have better knowledge of the car than you? So how the fuck are you qualified to take on a block building project? Heaven forbid he was doing that for a customer. How on EARTH can he say shit like that? That’s really weird.

#15

is that better.

Read this and think about how fucking stupid this guy is.

[QUOTE=Scotty@Advanced;]Great way to tear up your first gear. Do that 20 more times and call

[/quote]

So what he is saying is you can only launch your car hard 20 times and then you need to rebuild your transmission… Seriously Ive seen people with ko4 cars GT cars get 20 passes in one night. Not to mention 60ft timers of 1.7 thats launching hard

Also consider this. it won’t matter if you have a 10second car or a 13second S4 as on the launch your car isn’t really making anymore power as the power adder is the turbos and they obviously are not putting down much power ont he launch.

That guy is a jerk bag. I like that jibbercry popped in. he hates taht I fact check people and every time just like this time when I call people out its funny how manypeopole stand up to agree and to share there stories. The only fiction that Ive ever posted is that jibbbercry isn’t a complete joke of a member that talks out his ass abotu a car that is slower then FAWs car.

So let me get this straight…you are ‘building a block’…(or is it blocks)…but don’t know ANYTHING about that motor’s cylinders?

Im thinking that this is all scare tactics. For Advanced to say you only get 20 launches is just absent of any kind of technical basis. This leads me to believe that they are like many shops. They can take stuff apart and put it back together but they have no idea the in depth technical side of this. To say that on line should be enough for most people to realize that that company is a scam.

#17

I always thought the 01E was a very solid, very strong transmission. Seems odd to say you can’t launch it without grenading gears.

Hell, my B7 S4 trans must have had 300 launches on it. A quick perusal of my youtube reveals proof of that. Clutch NEVER SLIPPED A LICK…and none of my gears went flying out of the bellhousing in the 60,000 miles the car had on it before I sold it.

you can bet thats scotty comming on here to yell at us and spread more BS. The audizine thing was funny. You have several people here with nothing to loose and no motivation to say anything but the truth. On AZ it was funny on how Im sure scotty isn’t aware of snowtroopers real name nore mine but he somehow KNOWS he didn’t sell us parts or we didn’t see his shit work… ppppffftt what ever. If it was just me if it was just me and snowtrooper if it was just me snowtrooper and blake well it isn’t at some ponit in time after enough people asy it it might be true

#20

Scott has no idea the shear volume of cars I have worked on and or been involved with. He probably thinks I still work for stasis too.

Apparently he has the ability to track every trans he has ever touched and know what car it ends up in who works on it and what their screen name is. LOL
