Whatever bro, Like im going to buy that off of you after that comment.

what kind of tires are they?
hahaha, thats not the case with me. long story but i have one new tire on my car cuz they are discontinued and i was lucky enough to find that one. i keep calling places and they are like "shaving tires, never heard of it". if ur a tire shop you should know what that is, its comon sense really... shaving a tire. so my car is sitting out there cuz i dont want to drive it with one tire at 100% and the right at about 50%. maybe i could tell you what happened but im leaving for work now, so i made this quick.

I didn't post that so someone like you could bash me. Maybe if you could post without feeling the need to belittle someone for once in your life someone would actually like to post in here. I did that job on my car for experience, I also felt confident enough with myself to do it, so I did it. I would like to see you replace a clutch on your back. I don't know if you noticed I stopped posting in here because of comments like that made by people like you. But this time I will not be returning. I have better things to do then to sit here and worry about whether or not I will get bashed.


Yes I did put the locktite on there, that means nothing.



P.s. My opinion about Evo owners stand because of humans with the thought process as yours.

Because thats not me, I do things my way. He quoted me a price, then renigged on it because he thought I went around telling people that he was doing it for that much. Which I didn't. So he lost my business for good at that point. One thing you never do in business, and that is go back on your word. Especially with pricing. However again as above I didn't post that to get people to tell me what I should have done. Thanks and good bye now!

ah i got ya. well, in that case, i am afraid i can't be much help.

as a long shot, you could try getting in touch with RPM up in warrendale.

they're a performance shop, so they may be able to do it for you, or at least point you in the right direction.

SJ---I dont think anyone is bashing you...even people with experience can have those problems... i think the point is that certain areas of our cars can be very touchy and costly...there is a reason that labor to do those type of repairs is high and people such as mike have the training and experience to complete the job correctly is cheaper in the long run... dude no offense but you get way too sensitive about stuff....and as far as generalizing evo owners...everyone on here in the area has been cool and i am glad i met all of you

Dude you need to relax.

Brian was just breaking ***** a little about the "user" part , you are taking that a bit far.

Plus he was willing to hook you up on a sweet price for a upgraded and lightend flywheel. And all you want to do is ****ing cry. One thing you have to realize is people on the forums love to talk **** in one way or another or flat out ignore your azz get used to it.

Its funny that noone else talks **** but certain members, Talk **** all you want I could care less. And thanks for the compliment on my forum. Its not even a year old yet and you are making fun of it lol....... Im glad you're not on there HAHA.....

Plus I asked him how much for the flywheel, he no reply, plus Im sure I can get a brand new for around or less than what he is selling it for ontop of getting it resurfaced. Its called dealer accounts.

What makes it top secret? Because I didn't tell anyone about it in here? If you want I can go find where I posted it, in fact I am not aloud to do so anyways lol. I already got infractions from it. And in all reality it really isn't lonely, I have some really good friends on there.

Thanks though

The thing you need to realize is that I know the masses hate on me and my style its cool. I am actually an easy going dude but I like to talk smack so people get offended and then hate on me. Then spread the hate amongst all the newbs.

You have met me before and if I can recall went well out of my way to accomodate you just for you to check out some parts. I basically drove clear from my house to where you live. Hauling the kids out at night . But I am a d i c k head.

All I am saying is nobody was even talking smack on you and you got all defensive about things. Hey man it sucks that it happend its not going to get solved bye getting pissy with people.

SJ - Hey buddy, it's all in fun. I know what you're going through man. Any of these other guys all know how much money I just had to dump into my old VIII for similar problems. What can you do man? Live and learn and get a little laugh out of it. You hear guys making fun of Eric for not having a motor, and Dan for having a blown motor, or Travis for just being Travis... Anyhow, like Dan said, I honestly have a great flywheel if you need it. It was only used for maybe 1,000 miles. Super offer. That goes for anyone else too.

I also have an HKS downpipe for VIII / IX. Super deal. Used for about 25,000 miles. A little dirty, but flanges are perfect and very little traces of rust.
