I hate to be an ass, but im tired of you running your mouth.
Youre a USER taylor. THe ONLY reason why you talk to me is cause you think somehow we are FRIENDS an that i OWE you something. That i should do stuff for you for FREE. Im sorry you dont understand i have a BUSINESS TO RUN an cant sit there an WATCH you assemble a head an CHECK to make sure its right. I dont have time for that. My time is EXTREMELY valuable, especially when im at work.
you want to do it yourself, then DO IT YOUR SELF, learn how and see what happens. nothing wrong with doing it yourself, but you shouldnt be ASKING for me to look over your work, you either did it right or you didnt. Did you buy a shop manual yet? i bet $100 NO you havent.
You want to ask james to do stuff for you, then others just cause you dont want to PAY to get it done at MSP. you think people dont tell me what your saying? HAHA. i hear EVERYTHING.
You always make this big assumption that we give stuff away for FREE. you have no idea what you are talking about. Ive heard you talk to John, Daniel, SPoolin, others about how we give them freebies. well let me say this for the record:
1) daniel came to us over a year ago with his LS build. We had not done a fully built turbo honda from the ground up yet. Yes daniel got a deal, but he was the first one for us, and there will never be another one. But daniel still paid, an hes got the invoices to prove it. FEEL FREE TO ASK HIM
2) Spoolin has been a LONG TIME FRIEND. a friend i have known FOR YEARS. i sold him his first supercharger over 4 years ago. Ive hung out with him, we have gone out together, im going to his wedding, etc. Spoolin has spent over $1500 IN TUNING ALONE WITH MAINSTREAM and with ME. He ALWAYS pays full price for his turbo manifolds (3 of them have been made) and he always pays with a smile. He knows what my TIME an our EFFORT is worth. hes NEVER asked for anything free EVER. thats disrespect. i dont go to his job an ask for free shit
3) Big Baller is a LONG TIME friend of mine. Ive been out an spent $300 at MF SUSHI BAR with him an his wife an my girlfriend, been to his house, etc. He came in and asked about a 10 pt roll cage in his 240sx, i told him $2500 for a certified cage. He never asked why, he paid, with a smile, and is happy with his 240 cage. never ONCE asked for free stuff.
4) PM seymour222 how much hes spent on his S2000 with US. He has towed cars for us to races, helped out at the shop etc, and we are now building his turbo integra, and his invoice was over $8000 for 600whp. he paid in full.
So this bullshit of we help everyone else out, and not you, is just that, COMPLETE BULLSHIT.
you took your car SOMEWHERE ELSE, then brought it to us to have a DP made an IC made. I told you specifically to have the turbo manifold an TURBO BOLTED ON. you towed the car to the shop with NO manifold (it was in the back seat) and YOU HAD NO TURBO.
So instead of jmust making a DP, we had to install your manifold, the turbo, run your oil lines. WHICH I DIDNT CHARGE YOU TO DO AN I SHOULD HAVE. so a 1 hour job turned into a 2.5 hour job.
Also, i could have made a DP and pushed the bitch outside an told you to come get it. But no, you wanted it running an tunable. So i had to fix SOMEONE ELSES MISTAKES like:
Put your timing belt back on since it was 3 teeth off
do a valve adjustment, because someone thought it was ok to put 404 cams in an not do a valve adjustment
there was a big gaping hole where your IAT sensor was magically missing in your intake manifold.
CHarles fixed ALL THAT FOR YOU FOR $75 or 1 hour labor. i told him to charge you more. he didnt.
you then had the BALLS to make a comment of:
"THey are just trying to charge me more, i should take my car to balanced performance"
well newsflash buddy, any other shop would have charged you WAY MORE that what we did. And any other shop would have charged you DYNO TIME to fix it at $140/hr.
take it to ED an find out, take it to Dan an find out.
THe problem is we were TOO NICE to you an you took advantage of it. Well, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Wont make that mistake again.
so do what you want, talk shit about me, mainstream, charles, james, dave, we really dont care anymore. But i just thought id throw the WHOLE story out there so you can stop living in fantasy land. But i guess i cant expect much from a 16 year old kid.
cheers
FYI: I wouldnt be claiming 600whp numbers when your car doesnt even run yet.
