Which shop will you be using next?
after my na blew.....i went with a NA block and head with TT internals, i also had a set of crower 270 cams installed in the head and all motor assesories was replaced, like water pump and such............
tank

i dont want to get involved... but after reading the sf thread and saw this one statement, i would also get defensive.
Lol, fnf2 reference ftw.
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.
tank
also that pipe you needed i still have you can have it the guy never bought it
Anyone else got about 5 more minutes ill entertain questions .............

NEITHER OF YA'LL KNOW SHIT.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN ANYTHING. YOU WERE PROBABLY CRUISING TALKING ABOUT HOW BADASS YOUR CAR WAS. WHEN IN REALITY YOUR SHIT IS WEAK ASS SON.
YOU LEFT MAINSTREAM WITH A SINGLE TURBO SUPRA MAKING LESS POWER THAN MY STOCK TURBO SR!!!
LOL!
I totally made the gallo 24 reference like a week ago...
thats not a question,im not here to entertain your lil comments only to answer questions that concern the incident thats all............................................... ..anyone with a intelligent question or comment
tank
yeah NA block with the TT internals is a US spec gallo 22 motor
gallo 24 is TT block with TT internals
I didn't have to ask you a question Tank.
But if you think you're a baller go to your checking accounts website and take a screen shot and post up how much you got in there right now...
PROVE THAT MIKE IS WRONG ABOUT HOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD TUNING.
question: was mo in the car with you or driving behind you because it seems that alot of the posts mix it up?
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.
more questions later.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
Theres 3 sides to every story, his side, tanks side and the TRUTH
this is the last ill entertain you, prove that he is right and that that 91 sentra was not tuned and not scheduled by charles the same day without mike or dave knowing it..................with that im done with you
tank
I had been at Mainstream back months ago and overheard Dave talking to Mike about when Tank was going to pay for the work on his car.
Instead of paying for the work on HIS OWN CAR TANK WAS BUYING RANDOM SHIT. He was wasting the little dollars he had on other things!
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.
Sorry that you can't use food stamps for car parts!
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.
ill wait a lil while longer if you have more questions
tank
1. what speed were you driving?
2. do you agree that your gauges are off in the car?
3. if yes to two, what RRM would that put you at while on the highway?
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
My question.
Why do you lie and act like a badass on the internet?
damn.. $3600.. my boy at toyota gets new TT shortblocks for$2500.. id go for more reliability if i were you . seems like your short on luck on the performance side
Sorry, didnt see it I guess. Don't do as much reading as I used to.
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.
there is one word that comes to mind. TACT.
it can make or break a situation.
It was way better. The guy thought it was a real motor choice for his car and asked where he could find more info on it. At that time I sent him to the tubgirl website.
I'm awaiting replies from Tank...
I doubt he will reply tho.
His internet was probably shut off because he couldn't afford it.
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
2. well yeah maybe a lil bit ive never accually took notice before now, yet another reason i didnt argue with mainstream on there first reason of why the car overheated
3. i know i never went over 4k i was in the slow lane and i wasnt really trying to go back to work so fast lol but to answer your question never over 4k
thanks for your questions
tank
