Just because he will prob post this over here, and i want to have the first word.

Tank blew his supra up again, and he started a thread on supraforums.com. I want our side out before he has a chance to skew it his way like he did on supraforums.

http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=427530

Why dont we tell the ENTIRE story Tank.

My name is mike, i run the shop where Mr. Tankards car was worked on. Let me tell you everything from day 1.

Mr. Tankard approached us about wanting to purchase a custom 4in exhaust in October of 2006. I had heard stories of Mr. Tankard and he had expressed concern over another local shop that had "done him wrong". I quoted him a price for the exhaust an we did it. Mr. Tankard inquired about tuning his setup on his supra the day he came to do the exhaust.

Mr. Tankards setup was a GT42 , TH350, 1000cc inj, AEM, Jun replica Intake manifold, STOCK NA BLOCK. He stated the car had never been tuned an he had installed the turbo himself with some help from some other friends. The install was half assed, we had to fix an elbow on the turbo to make the IC pipe even fit, i told him it was $140/hour to tune his AEM. Mr. Tankard said "i only have enough money to tune for 1 hour". With such little time, all we did was driveability mostly. we did NO WOT pulls

After 1 hour, the car made 255whp, 5500rpms, and we were done. I wrote Mr. Tankard an invoice stating that his car was not safe to boost. The following weekend, i hear from SEVERAL CREDIBLE witnesses and people about how Mr. Tankard was claiming that "Mainstream got 500whp out of my car". Which was simply not true.

Mr. Tankard contacted me about a week later wanting to fully tune his car. We agreed on a date and i reminded him it was $140/hour for tuning. The day BEFORE his scheduled tuning appointment, Mr. Tankard calls me an says his car shut off an was making a horrible noise. He decribed a "knocking" noise. We told him he would have to tow the car to us because i couldnt diagnose it over the phone.

The car came to us on a tow truck, the distributor was loose (as in all bolts were backed out) and the injector o rings were BLOWN out of the manifold. The car would turn over, but wouldnt crank. We felt it was due to the massive vaccum leak caused by the blown out injector o rings, and the distributor being off. Mr. Tankard had another shop called TOPSPEED install his turbo kit. We noticed that they had used the wrong injector o rings. We quoted Mr. Tankard $300 to remove his intake manifold, replace the orings, drill the manifold properly, an reinstall. That HAD to be done to have the car START. Mr. Tankard agreed.

We fixed the O rings an the car cranked up. It was knocking louder than ANY car i have ever heard, especially a supra. We contacted mr. tankard an told him his motor was gone. The only thing at the time we could think of was that the dizzy had rotated, timing was all out of whack, the car detonated, and blew the rod bearings out.

I explained to Mr. Tankard that the original bill for $300 had to be settled up, and i gave him a quote for fixing the car. He agreed to have the car repaired. IIRC his estimate was for $3500 to basically RR a supra motor, assemble, and reinstall. Mr. Tankard expressed how he was on a tight budget so we helped him where we could.

We told mr. tankard we would need a deposit to begin work. this was about the end of October. We also told him we needed to settle up on the $300 bill. A few weeks go by, an we receive no payment from Mr. Tankard. Meanwhile, he is sending me PMs about how he bought a nitrous kit, AVCR, big screen tv, and other items. This whole time we never were paid.

After about 2 months, I call Mr. Tankard for about the 6th time, and told him enough was enough, we would start charging storage on his vehicle. Mr. Tankard shows up about 6 days later , to FINALLY pay his bill, 2 MONTHS after it was done. His bill had gone from $300 to $390. He paid his bill and told me he would give me a deposit for the car soon.

The end of december comes, and Mr. tankard sends me via paypal a deposit to get started on his motor.

Mr. Tankard supplied the USED RODS,USED PISTONS, USED BLOCK. I bought all brand new pumps, gaskets, seals, timing belt, ACL Race Bearings.

On Jan 5th i started ordering parts for his car. Now we are one of the busiest shops in Atlanta, so i put Mr. Tankards car on the schedule for Jan. 22-27th. that would be the time we STARTED work on his car provided all parts were present. Mr. Tankard repeatedly pushed us to "hurry " up on his car, he expressed how we were working on other cars an not his, complained, etc. This was the same guy that took 2 months to pay me $300, yet he was agitated that when he paid his deposit we didnt "jump right on it".

Mr. Tankard deployed overseas shortly after we began work on his car. We took our time and assembled his motor. We completed the car, and upon completion the only problems we noticed were his Water Temp Gauge didnt work (he stated it never had) and his Boost gauge did not work. His Car has some cheap over lay white face gauges, and everything is miscalibrated. His car reads "0" rpms when it is cold idling. his tach was at least 1200 rpms off by my dynojet. Mr. Tankard never paid us to fix his gauges. We did however replace his Temp Sensor, but his gauge still didnt work.

We dynoed the car, and upon doing a few mild boost pulls, the car boost creeps like CRAZY. Wanting to be gentle on the car, we notice that Mr. Tankard has a 35mm wastegate for his GT42 turbo. We stop tuning, contact mr. tankard, an tell him that his car cannot be tuned due to the boost creeping issue. We also found out the wastegate had a 22PSI WASTE GATE SPRING. So, we can now theorize that the car blew up in the first place because it was prob doing 22psi on pump gas untuned and Mr. Tankard didnt realize it.

We sell and install a Tial 44mm Wastegate an 1 bar spring for Mr. Tankard. After the wastegate change, boost is kept in check, and the car makes 467whp at 17psi with a vacuum T. it makes 44xwhp at 1 Bar. The car NEVER OVERHEATES, NEVER CREPT HOT, NEVER BLEW COOLANT OUT , NEVER showed ANY signs of overheating. Matter of fact the only problem we had was blowing the front main seal out. We replaced the front main seal with a Beck-Arnley seal an that was the only problem we had.

Mr. Tankard had no boost controller, so we couldnt really turn the boost up reliably. We told Mr. Tankard to drive the car at 470whp an enjoy it and invest in a boost controller before we turned the boost up. We also told Mr. Tankard that his car was EXTREMLY short geared, in 3rd gear on his NON OVERDRIVE TH350, he was doing 119mph. We told him to invest in an overdrive tranny or buy a different rear end gear as his car would prob cruise at very high rpms on the highway.


We took the car on several street tests around the shop, prob running off about 20miles on the car. Never had any problems. This was the END of FEB when we finished the car.

I contacted mr. Tankard for final payment, an was told i would have to wait until the "first of the month". I was slightly pissed that Mr. Tankard had repeatedly rushed us to finish this car, yet he AGAIN could not make payment. We wondered if we were going to have to wait 2 months to receive payment like the first time. Well the fist of march comes an Mr. Tankard pays as agreed.

We were contaced that Mr. tankard was going to be back in the states to pick up his car sometime on April 10th. On APril 10th, we cranked up his car (it had been a month since it had ran) an the car had some electrical problems with the ALARM and the idle was a tad too high because it has no IAC (it has an aftermarket manifold). The car drove normal. Me and one of my senior techs drove the car on a test drive and we did beat on the car to make sure the a/f ratios were fine since the weather was a bit warmer than when we had tuned it. the a/f were fine, an the car never went over 202 F. This car has a 195 degree thermostat that was BRAND NEW.

Mr. Tankard then drove his car around the shop, came back, said thanks, and left. I reminded Mr. Tankard that his car still had a malfunctioning Temp gauge, and his Power steering line was leaking. About 30minutes later he calls me saying the car broke down and just "shut off". I asked him to describe the problem an he said "The car started to smoke from underneath the hood , then started to misfire, and i kept driving, then it just shut off". I told him to stay put an we would go pick the car up.

Turbo Dave an i took off with a truck an trailor. When we get to the area, we notice the car has about 1 gallon of coolant on the ground, and theh FACTORY OEM PAINT on the valve covers has melted. We try to start the car, and it is locked up. We knew the motor was gone.

We towed the car back to the shop an inspected everything. The twin 12 in electric fans were still working, the car had coolant in it, and the spark plugs were PERFECT as far as a/f ratios go. there was green hue on them indicating the Headgasket was blown.

The car had been SEVERELY OVERHEATED and Mr. Tankard chose to drive on the car rather than pull over. He drove the car into the ground, so to speak.

The motor is beyond repair, the thermostat was fine, and the car never showed any signs of overheating when we dynoed the car for 5 hours.

Mr. Tankard admitted that he was "cruising at about 3800rpms" which in reality is more like 5000-5200rpms since his tach is off due to the cheap overlay face gauges. He also admitted that he was "going under 80mph, not beating on the car, just cruising".

Since the car no longer runs, we can only assume either he was beating on the car for an extended amount of time, or he was crusing at too high of an RPM due to the short rear end gear and the car got hot. We will never know because Mr. Tankard chose to drive the car an not pull over at the first sign of trouble. Had Mr. Tankard pulled over an contacted us, we would have tried to duplicate the situation in an attempt to see why the car got hot, but we were never given that chance.

Mr. Tankard has almost no knowledge when it comes to cars. Which is not something i would make fun of him for, just pointing it out. He has a reputation for getting work done by shops, then blowing his car up , and then blaming the shop that performed the work. He has had this Supra blow up twice now (less than a week having work done to it) and he blew up a Honda Civic he used to own. He is crass, arrogant, and a compulsive liar. Almost no shop will work on his cars anymore. We simply feel that he bought a bunch of "race car parts" for his street car, and bad things come from that. Do you really think that 3 seperate atlanta shops all of whom have outstanding reputations, have all screwed him over, or is it something else?

We truly fell bad for Mr. Tankards situation, but how are we supposed to warranty a motor that HE OVERHEATED. A motor he supplied USED Parts for? Had the car overheated on the dyno, we would stand behind our work and looked into it. But we never saw any problems from the car. To make this thread andto post private PMs i had sent him back an forth is the last straw.

I will post DETAILED PICS of the gauges, swap, motor, invoices,etc tomrrow, i am at home an can not get those items until i am at work.

I also had a death in my family last week and have been unavailable , Mr. Tankard knew this, but he chose to PM me 4 times anyway asking about his car, and made this thread because i had "not responded to his previous PMs".

Sorry guys.

It is my fault.

I had to hurry home and I overboosted my car causing it to overheat.

I had Popeyes in the passenger seat and I didn't want it to get cold. My mother would be so pissed if I brought her cold Popeyes. I mean seeing that I do live at her house but play it off like its mine because I want people to think I have money and I want people to think I'm a baller when I'm really not.

Sorry guys, I especially apologize to Mike about this whole situation.

I wanna go and bump any thread where Tank has talked about how much money he has had.

I don't know him much, but last when we talked, Tank sounded very sincere and nice, especially toward my parents.

But that was the only time we talked when he bought my TV, like a yr ago.

I'm sure they'll find a way to work it out nicely.

WOW .............. you really dont want to lose face that bad huh mike, you all made a simple mistake yet you cant admit it. but instead make a thread so your nutswingers can jump on the bandwagon. pssshhhh dont bother me man as you said about batlground and many other shops in your own words infront of me and my friends. Shops cover shit up when they fuck up cause if not they wouldnt be in business. However life goes on Mike its a car and althought yall didnt manage to make sure the thermastat was functioning properly thats cool. Have your laugh and cover up. Ill get my supra up soon enough mikey....... For all those wondering why mike posted this is because i asked a simple question on supraforums.................

http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=427530

and then i told mike about it, and he jumped to defensive "a hit dog will holla mike" and you and i as well as a few select others know the truth. no matter what show you put on for IA, have fun with my 3600 buck donation.

there was no sign i was on 20 east heading back to work the car cut off luckily i was in the far lane so i merged off....................when i popped the hood radiator fluid was everywhere and the car wouldnt turn over........ My bestfriend Mo "saiyogen on here" was with me....if it had of backfired or anything i would have known. however no sign other then it cutting off.........

I mean really.. I have several friends that are stupid like that.. "If it fucks up, then it's not on me" But what they don't realize is, the shop only puts a promise on what they do. They do the test drive, if it runs fine, they'll release the car to the owner. The second the owner gets in the car, it's his duty to fucking watch the car, and not dog the piss out of it until it shows it can handle it.

And besides.. if he was serious about building a 500hp supra, he'd have a working fucking temp gauge. I can't even drive a piece of shit car without one. :tongue1:

Tank, even you said you still drove it when it made a funny noise - thats a no no

and used parts is also a no no - there's no guarantee on their condition

You should have also gotten the temp gauge fixed ( its a must in a turbo car ) or at least gotten an aftermarket one in - I own a Starion, these little bitches are tempermental as hell, so engine management and having correctly working gauges are key, and if any funny noise happens, its to the side of the road


and he already posted the link to the thread


I'm not siding with him nor you, but, there are some things that I've seen from you both about the car that I personally would have done something about, even if it meant being a few more weeks without

see thats the thing there was no noice neither me or Mo who brought me up there to pick up the car noticed anything. na we even stopped and got gas "since there was less then a 1/4 tank left" still no issue but when i hit the highway "with MO behind me" 5 minutes later the car cut off without a sound or issue......mind you i had the targa off, windows down, and no music on i would have noticed if something was wrong

just my 2 cent as alway and turbo dave and mike are my boys so take out of this what you will. but, tank, you knowingly admit on this forum and others that you know nothing about cars. here's exactly what's wrong with yours, i have the black supra there the day you picked yours up. no car except for maybe an s2000(wife has one) is made to run for long periods of time at 5000 rpm's!!!! and your supra does it at 80 mph according to the dyno sheet. my supra is fully built and i can actually rev mine to 9000 and i would never run mine at 5000 for a long period of time. your car runs that high rpm just cruising down the highway. and guess what, i dont beat on mine, but my car has also never seen las than 90 on the highway. that would put you at about 5500 rpm's if you cruise where i cruise mine. take out of this what you will, you shoulda changed rearends!!! oh, and mine is an auto 400 so i have the exact same gearing as you.

again see thats the thing i never blamed them in the first place if you read my post on supraforums it says no where that the car was fucked up by MAINSTREAM PERFORMANCE it says im asking for reasons that could solve the problem, Matter a fact i even went a step further to say "I WAS NOT BLAMING THE SHOP" so why in gods name did mike get so defensive if he had nothing to worry about.................
It's an auto right? You should have had a damn working temp gauge man...

Probably because you posted private shit on a public forum. Not to mention that while I was reading the thread on supraforums I got a strong sense that Mainstream was going to get end up being blamed for a possible bad temp sensor that they had no problems with. Just a thought though.

Mike has been a very good and trustworthy friend to me... and I am sorry Mike to hear about your loss... many of us on here know what it feels like to lose a lost one... especially recently and I can fully understand what you may have felt. I am truely sorry you have to deal with outside shit when dealing with a lost one and helping your own family through it too.

Now Tank... I've tried talking to you via PM's to help you get your act straight and to try to make myself like you despite of the many things I've been hearing. Even after what you've been spreading around about TopSpeed, I still chose to not dislike you but shrug it off... however now, I've fk'n lost ALL respect for you. If anything, how can you be so damn rude and disrespectful to Mike who's not only been trying to help you out in all ways possible but ALSO dealing with a lost one... yet you sit here like an immature little brat posting for e-advice on your car on SupraForums and trying to get someone to post an excuse for your own stupid wrong-doings so you can hopefully point the blame at MainsStream? Do you really thinking that random-ass people on SupraForums who haven't even touched your car will have more knowledge and understanding of the situation than MainStream themselves... who, may I add, has worked on how many 2jz's?...

I have said this before, but... I'll say it again. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT MEANT TO DRIVE FAST CARS. YOU ARE ONE OF THEM TANK. You want a full race setup but you don't even have the mechanical knowledge to know when a car is over-heating? You pulled over after the car seized up... AFTER radiator fluid was bubbling and pouring all in your engine bay? You know... its one thing to lack mechanical knowledge... but its another to have absolutely no common sense. Hell, even random people that don't know a damn thing about cars can smell the first signs of coolant inside a car. Trust me, my friends have mentioned it before to me due to my previous coolant leaks.

You know... I usually try to stay out of these drama-like threads and what not... however, what you're saying, writing, and your overall attitude pisses me off too much to stay silent. Maybe what pissed me off the most is you saying that Mike is trying to use the fact that his family member passed away as a cover-up for your Supra blowing up... I can't believe you'd even say something like that. Not only are you fk'n stupid but you're a blatent asshole too. NO, I AM NOT A MAINSTREAM BANDWAGON/CAMP GROUPPIE. I'm saying this from my own mind.

very good points andvery nice supra you own also, however i bought a gs400 rear end geard at 3.26 versus the na auto rear end at 3.77, how do i knwo this lil information i researched it. But i would have had it changed however there schedule was booked up. since you was there you witnessed teh idle issue they was having and saw my witness there. but i asked mike and dave if there would be any issues and i got "no as long as you dont touch the boost controller your fine" so liek anyone else who picks up there car from a shop i was confident in the work done and left. however you make good points, but remember this is the same tranny i drove from Topspeed with aith the na auto rear and never before has the first motor overheated and i had the car for 2 weeks. in those 2 weeks i drove from home to work on the setup. i live in stockbridge but i work in east point "army" so if it was teh tranny id figure i would have seen this problem before you know..........but thanks for your comments

Charles im very disapointed to here you say these words but ok allow me to respond..............

1. i never brought up the fact on mikes grand parent passing as a crutch matter a fact he PM'd me as the excuse of him not answering my replies. hell i knew about his loss before the weekend ive got aim messages and pm's showing that i knew and was compassionate on that note.

2. who said they wasnt trying to help me, before tonight there was no issue but the minute i posted on supraforums asking for some possible reasons why my car overheated he got defensive. if i was bad mouthing him why did i pm him telling him about the thread. Also ask yourself this charles if i was bashing mainstream why would i say in my first post that "I AM NOT BLAMING THE SHOP". Your comments are unfounded and out of line charles, but i know your good friends with mike so i expect as much thanks for you comments

stop right there, read where that post was made after i received a pm from mike blowing me off and telling me to pick up my car out of the blue, prior to that post no mention of shops or bashing was made. Also on a side note Mike answers the phone and handles reciepts and such so wouldnt he also be considered a secretary. not saying he dont work on cars but i always thought thats what they do. it wasnt said in disrespect it was said to clarify who i talked to without using names.

in the supraforums you said you were out 3xxx dollars and a new block. how is used parts constituting a new block? if it was a real rebuild id say yes, like rebuilt with new parts. used parts are a NO NO for anything automotive.
did you not smell coolant? its hard to miss the smell.

What the fuck are you talking about? I don't drive a 91 sentra, I didn't have it tuned at Mainstream. However I could afford to have it tuned for more than 1 hour which is true. My car has spent more time on the dyno being tuned then your car spent time on the road driving!!! And I afforded it all too you poor ass bitch.

GOOD QUESTIONS

1.no it wasnt a new block "my bad on termonolgy" i kept saying that all parts was used however they was inspected by Mainstream performance prior to any motor work being done

2.no there was no smell while i was driving on the highway once the car cut off is when i noticed what was going on

3. Mo rode in the car with me during the test drive after mike and dave test drove it, we noted that the car idle was not fixed and that the power steering line was leaking which i didnt know anything about til that day.

eh.. like i said.. i dont want to get involved. i will say this though....

mike is alot of things, but i dont think he is a liar or a cover up artist. although when he feels as though he is being attacked, he will get very angry and defensive, as many people do. after a little time, he becomes rational again. but overall, he has a good head on his shoulders and does what he feels is right in terms of moral obligation.



on the other hand... tank

the way people word things have a direct effect on how people will respond. i've noticed you do have a tendency to word things in a manner that could be somewhat offensive whether it being true or not doesn't make it right. if you have lost your mother-in-law, which i doubt you would lie about, you should know better than to bother mike with car shit whether you are a customer or not. if mike chose to not acknowledge your existense when is he off, that is his perogative even if he is acknowledging other customers.

either way.... he is going through some tough shit and the last thing on his mind is your car. you have to understand when people are going through traumatic events in their life, it is quite normal for people to have outbreaks and do things they don't normally do...

i've talked to mike several times about your car and have gone to bat for you many times. i try to help mike look at the situation, not only from a business standpoint, but also from the customer. i too have been in unfortunate circumstances regarding my car and certains shops so i know how it feels.

if your only reason was truly just to speculate the problem with the car.... i dont see how it turned into this if you had chosen your words wisely.

one other thing tank....

and im sure you're starting to learn this through experience...


building a race car isn't as easy as 1 2 3... you can't just buy parts and expect everything to be perfect. especially working on a 10+ year old car, things are going to come up unexpectedly... shit, my lex is only 5 years old with only 60,000 miles and i run into issues on a daily basis and its not even on the road.

i know you've dumped alot of money into this car and all you want to do is enjoy it! sometimes you gotta just have a little more patience... just to make sure. if you know you need some parts that will make the car run better and safer, why not just let it sit and wait a little longer just so you can have that piece of mind?

also... get your gauges fixed. and learn how to take care of your motor and car overall. you need to know whats goin on with the motor in order to prevent blowing it up. you need to have working gauges in order to monitor the motor so that when something doesn't look right, even if you know nothing about cars, you at least pull over to inspect.

one of the first things i did when starting my boost project was asking questions like, what is the proper a/f ratio in boost, out of boost..what are my egts supposed to read and how high should they go.. what is too hot what is normal? what should my oil pressure be at? etc etc...

there are sooooo many questions to be asked and sooooo much to learn when owning a turbo car. one little mistake can cost you a motor...a tranny... etc.. it could be a matter of seconds..


i hope yall can work everything out... if not, good luck with the car...

As i stated before, i made the thread on supra forums looking for information and specifically posted "I WAS NOT BLAMING THE SHOP" however Mike took it upon himself to get defensive which i dont understand. i pm'd mike right after i made the thread asking him about the thermostat telling him hey hit me back ive been trying to contact you yesterday and today. Yes i knew about mikes loss and im very sorry for him however i thought i could contact him during his work hours at work for a urgent question. The question you might be asking?, well i had found a long block and tranny and wanted to make sure it was cool to buy. why was it urgent cause the guy had others in line to buy it and needed a response asap. so i bought it since i never got a response. I would like to apologize but i dont see where i did anything wrong so i wont. I will say i have no issues with Mainstream Performance nor mike i really wanted to ask a question on a forum. I am disappointed that Mike responded the way he did, and i think it was uncalled for. As for the questions thanks for the inquiries, and comments thank you also. I will also say this i didnt post in this thread for people to side with me or bash anyone or shop i posted to answer questions relevant to this issue only.

Damn Tank, Mike and I have had our differences but he has worked on one of my cars and has always done his work as quickly and the best quality his shop could do. I still fully trust him to this day for anyone one of my future cars if it needed tuning or other work done. I feel confident in saying that you are a douchebag and you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about, you are white trash, you need to stop running your mouth and talking shit because you have been caught in multiple lies.

Oh and BTW, when mike got done putting a radiator in my car and gave it back to me before tuned he told me specifically, "Make sure you don't get on it." AND GUESS WHAT, I FUCKING DIDN'T, AND THATS WHY IT STILL RUNS! AND IT WAS A 2JZGTE AS WELL! So I know he is looking out for the best intrest in your car before it is ready to leave his shop.

i had heard discrediting information on tank before from some reliable sources, and i believed them when i heard it. not a doubt in my mind.

i guess that means he wont race collins. ..was that car an auto?

even if a motor is built correctly, there is no guarantee with boost/high performance cars


i dont want to get into this..

but don't hate the player, hate the game... shit, i do... LOL

Tank, I don't know who's fault this was but from the outside looking in.... It sure sounds fishy. How could you not smell coolant? It has a very distinct smell to it.

Also, blowing up a motor doesn't necessarily fall on the person's shoulders that built it. I could jump in a fully built car and blow the motor. Does that mean it is the fault of the builder?

Knowledge is your biggest enemy right now, or therefor lack of. I would do a shit load of research on the Supra and then try rebuilding it again. I did research on the Evo forums for about 2 years before I even bought the car and started building it.

Don't expect it to happen over night either. Building a high horsepower car takes time



1. my speedometer doesnt work because of the transmission im running i would need some part for the GM tranny to work on the toyota cluster

So, let me understand this a little better.

1. Speedometer doesn't work?

2. Temperature gauge doesn't work?

3. RPM gauge is off by as much as 1500 rpms?

4. Tranny doesn't won't allow it to go over 119mph?

5. Limited by the gear?


I'm not taking sides, but it sounds like you were too stuck on buying parts to make your car "go fast" rather than buy the parts to fix it and monitor it.

Sinking all that money into a car without being able to monitor things like temp, rpms, and egt's is dangerous. Thats just asking for trouble.

Hell, I don't even trust the stock temperature gauge as they can be off as much as 60 degrees. I learned my lesson in a previous car when the stock gauge read everything was normal, but the aftermarket gauge read it was running too hot.

..and as far as the funny as remarks in this thread. :lmfao: I almost peed myself.

very good points andvery nice supra you own also, however i bought a gs400 rear end geard at 3.26 versus the na auto rear end at 3.77, how do i knwo this lil information i researched it. But i would have had it changed however there schedule was booked up. since you was there you witnessed teh idle issue they was having and saw my witness there. but i asked mike and dave if there would be any issues and i got "no as long as you dont touch the boost controller your fine" so liek anyone else who picks up there car from a shop i was confident in the work done and left. however you make good points, but remember this is the same tranny i drove from Topspeed with aith the na auto rear and never before has the first motor overheated and i had the car for 2 weeks. in those 2 weeks i drove from home to work on the setup. i live in stockbridge but i work in east point "army" so if it was teh tranny id figure i would have seen this problem before you know..........but thanks for your comments

how can you tell it never ran hot w/o a working temp gauge??? :thinking: lol had to ask

i remeber when he said he claimed 500hp but i found out the truth that is was only making 2XX. he raced me that night also...so I can vouch (sp) that he was driving the car hard on a base tune. I knew he didn't know much about cars, which you should never make fun of for that..unless they act like a know-it-nothing. But i do remember all those things Mike. When he bashed TopSpeed and the MS.

Now on the case at hand, you know it gets me when people try to come on here and bash others and talk shit which half of, or I can say all of ya'll wont talk shit to tank out in person. Second I have been over all of the pm's between both parties and stuff could seem fishy on both sides, not just one. So the only ones who knows the whole story would be Mike and Tank so if you dont have positive shit to say STFU. Next Tank didnt bash Mike or MAinstream he went on Supra forums to ask a simple question and he got answers from some people on the board. He didnt say shit bad about them. Mike you know I have never had a problem with you, but to all these nut swingers who are riding you nuts you need to straighten them out because you know he didnt bash you or your shop. Yeah he might have pm'ed you too much over the weekend but thats because, you webpage shows you being open on saturdays but no one was answering the phone. So case in point he thought you were ducking him. Now because of this post the bashing has started. Half of you motherfuckers get your info from word of mouth which from one person to the next is fuckin twisted.

But lets not get anything drawn out of conclusion every SOB on this board has done some stupid shit Tank, Mike, Me, Charles, Nightrider, and so on so dont act like nothing has happened to any of ya'll before. So now the same people who are bashing Tank for his cred now are the bitches that come on here and talk shit but when you are out in person wont say a fuckin word and try to act so cool.

Now NevrNufTorg= no car except for maybe a s2000 can stay at 5000rpms, ha wtf are you somking um.............. Rx7, Evo, Civis........I can keep naming....

Man charles lets not talk about shop bashing, you were one of the main people trying to bash Batlground and then on top of trying to bash themyou were trying to get them to sponsor you......... You are a fucking Jackass. And you have this little sense of sarcasim that just gets on my fuckin nerves.

Didnt you use to always have words with tank so your post dont mean shit, from what I am concerned you might have sold him a shitty block because to dont like him, its his fault for buying that shit from you anyway. But as I remember you are a spoiled brat and you parents pay for everything.

i had a turbonetics t04B you had a T04E (the E was slightly larger a/R), but mines had a ported inlet with a bigger wheel, it woulda been perfecter for your setup.. and for the t04E i had another wheel i coulda ported and put in, woulda been perfecter for my setup 2.6L ,yours = 1.8L ya know

So now the same people who are bashing Tank for his cred now are the bitches that come on here and talk shit but when you are out in person wont say a fuckin word and try to act so cool.

Now NevrNufTorg= no car except for maybe a s2000 can stay at 5000rpms, ha wtf are you somking um.............. Rx7, Evo, Civis........I can keep naming....

Ct9aGSr.... Man charles lets not talk about shop bashing, you were one of the main people trying to bash Batlground and then on top of trying to bash themyou were trying to get them to sponsor you......... You are a fucking Jackass. And you have this little sense of sarcasim that just gets on my fuckin nerves.

XlstonEx= that whit trash comment wasnt funny, it was actually pretty fuckin crackerish if you et what that means, my bestfriend is white but dont try to make a side joke related to race some will take that wrong, and you would suffer the outcome.


Sl33P3R..... finally the last one..... Aint you thelittle crybaby dude that got kicked out of PMS because you were that a crybaby. Didnt you use to always have words with tank so your post dont mean shit, from what I am concerned you might have sold him a shitty block because to dont like him, its his fault for buying that shit from you anyway. But as I remember you are a spoiled brat and you parents pay for everything.

Now I f anyone has anything to say I dont care.But dont bash people when you dont know the whole story only Tank And Mike knows the truth. If you got something to say to me come say to my face when I am out dont be a bitch an type behind the computer.


I got something to say to you. Why is my name even in you explaination of this. I have never had any real problems with any shop. When my motor blew, mainstream took it, we did a budget rebuild, I got the car back, the oil light came on 5 miles down the road, and I IMMEDIATLY called mike a 10pm and he met me where I was at and brought it back to the shop and I left it there a nother few days so they could check some things out. End result I got the car back a few days later that ran, no problems their. What other "problems" might you be refering to.

And on a side note, I wouldnt so quick to assume nobody will say anything to tank or you to your face. There is nothing about the two of you that should intimidate people enough to make that bold of a statement.

nope,
if you weren't a spoiled brat, you wouldn't have thousands and thousands of dollars in uneccessary parts and labor done to your car.

Its one thing for a parent to buy a kid a car (not so bad)... but to spend G's on top of G's to build/boost a car for a 16 year old? Sounds like a death wish.

we could only hope for something so nice to happen

Problem is this thread has gone long enough and no one is getting anywhere and it is getting out of hand

this shit needs to be locked and mike and tank need to handle this because it's between them, everyone putting in there 2cents really doesn't help the situation between mike and tank.

They have each others phone numbers, start using them!

When me and you got into it a couple years ago, YOU are the on who sent me pm's talking about how we need to go to dinner and talk this out and how we should start a car club and how us blacks should stick together and shit. After all of that how could I honestly just beat your ass when all you wanted was to put on a show for people to read but tried to be my friend in pm's. You knew what the deal was if it went to some real shit and you still know what it is. When you respond to this dont forget to LMK where I need to be.

Mutha Fuck a ring, we will box but bare knuckle style. So what time are we meeting at the varcity. Remember a mans pride will always be his downfall, and yours is about to get you really fucked up. Your best bet is to do what you did 2 years ago and invite me to dinner again to work things out.,

------------since folks wont let this thread go ill say a few things----------

first nytryder i highly doubt brian would say some lame shit like that wouldnt make any sense what so ever. Also what brian said is REAL TALK, all these folks posting and trying to bash have had there minute face to face, another reason why i aint stuntin none of them. As for the rest of the dumb shit being posted its really out of line you dont know me or the shit ive been through but a number of you all who are bashing for no reason have been in the same situation. In all honestly you all aint gettin to me ill still be here and my supra will be fixed. as i said before i didnt make any thread to bash mainstream, however this unnesasary thread was made just for what you nutswinging fan members can be sympathetic to him or mainstream perforamance. You want my opinion this thread was childish of mike to make and all you so called grown folks who are acting about taylors age, should seriously reavaulate yourself. Now im gonna say this for all the folks who have beef and think they never got there chance to say it in person tonights your night come see me, Ill be with STIkiller tonight waiting for everyone else let the shit go the only person who post are even relevant at this point is mikes. If he chooses not to post or repsond to anything then fine ill get my car and move on just like i did before my money loss mainstream's gain of a quick 3600. Taylor you are one of the 2 faced folks ive ever met you AIM me beggin me to ask chad to let you back into PMS "i can post the conversation" then you try to be cool with me now your on another set of nuts man up. why dont you be real and tell everyone why you really swapping motors, cause daddy got in that ass and forced you to so chill out cause even if i wanted i couldnt touch you cause your still a minor. Keep your ass out of grown folks business. from this point on ill entertain no but mike in this thread "even if i ever post".


tank


and again ill say yes many of you who has talked shit and seen me face to face did turn bitch quick gecko boy ejmotta-whatever the fuck you had your chance a couple of days ago and didnt say one word so get the fuck out of here....................................im gone
