LOL why oh why did you say that....Prepare for world war 5 when he reads this...he was just ranting about AMS 1am this morning...lol He do be rocking the AMS hat though

quote : Soceur77 you chose wisely for your tune!
Yea bro I was set on a dyno flash until I heard and read about Kevin D, got to give Levar the credit for putting me on and introducing me.

Quote: So it all worked out finally, and nothing broke well that's good to hear. Sounded like it was some adventure. Wish I could of came over but I was stuck without a ride Now all you have to do is get your car lowered and take off that wing and you should be good There's just one thing, last time I went in for some work at the Doper than dope shop there wasn't any Bob Marley playing in the background, lol. The shop does do same great work though, once I was done I felt like the Dark Knight driving around in the F117

Bob marley is only for times of fustration...lol yea DD has your car looking the bomb! Im actually giving him the keys to my car when I deploy so i can get some brake treament done as he wont be here when I get back

Quote: You see everything works out at the end I'm glad your car is running great so you could deploy happy.

Yea man Im happy as hell right about now, I just have to get a minor fix done to my TBE as it isnt fitting 100% done at minke today and ill totally be in love with the car again...minus the horrid wing I have. Going to see if I can get it covered under warranty today...its a long shot but can only say yes or no.

 

exhaust fixed by bills muffler shop on memorial. Great work and customer service and a very fair price. Was in and out in 30 mins. Meineke on the other hand by Krystals said it would take them 2 hours to fix, and the meinke close to ft hood said he couldnt get a evo on the lift,...I was like wtf! are u serious. I told them they had my celica on the lift 2 weeks ago and its way lower then my current stock height on the evo. I told him the other meineke had it on their lift and that ****er told me well take it back to them. I told him he was very unprofessional and that I would be calling the store manager later today. So for all ur muffler nneds go see bill on memorial right next to the black angus food place (down by the ft hood st side)

 

I hear the same thing

Im sorry you did do some work, and your help was appreciated, I dont know who would of handed me the tools I needed if you werent around.

Its not that Im talking **** about them, they have accomplished many things and set many records. Its just that I dont believe in paying for a name anymore. I want a product and results. Im just saying that I nolonger will be buying stuff from AMS unless I absolutly need it. I do have a question though, what other shops have you been to, I thought AMS was the only one, oh by the way everything will be able to get done at Doper than Dope.

I wear the hat cause I like to wear them when I go out, my Buschur racing hat is on the way. My AMS t-shirts, yeah Im ging to wear them I payed about $15 a piece.

I am very happy to hear that you are enjoying the car, the misses said you left here like you just got laid for the first time. A big grin from ear to ear.

 

Wow. Now thats service!!!

Hey monkey, there is another Spokes event on May 17 if you want to come out.

 

It's hard to blame the builder. Unless it's somethingobvious. I've seen so many pol botching about there motorblowing but in reality it's just the driver or even the tuner. There's one thread where they were blaming the shop because his motor spun a bearing. What actually happened was that he was suppose to break it in but he went to get a race gas tune and took it to the track that night.sigh...
Best Evo story i've heard was a guy was building his block. He had very high milage and they wanted to replace his timing belt and other things because his tensioners were sweating... Well he skipped out on preventive maintence. Month later went to a diff shop for a tune. Bent an *** load of valves on a dump pull... I wonder why

Lausan 'ole chum. I'm very glad that you finally got your car up and running and fighting through all of the frustrations that you experienced. I have to admit that you are a much better person that I'll ever be as it relates to this because I would have got crunk on Day Two once the crap hit the fan. It's awesome to see what patience can do for you and just in time to put the 'ole girl up for a nice year-long nap. I can't wait to break break with you once you arrive. Take care of yourself and I'll see you then. I still have those plans we spoke of but it will not (I repeat) will not take the "buy another engine route". I might get some drop-in pistons and rods to compliment the dual springs/retainers but that's it. More to follow in the days ahead...

 

Yea man the wonders of a corona some bob marley music and some car enthusiast putting there heads together to solve a problem...lol oh yea the internet didnt hurt as well..lol But believe me there was some crunkness going on, almost some funiture moving action going....even if it was only a folding chair. Couple of tools almost got chunked into someone elses yard as well. I will say the nex door neighboor came out to do some slip and slide with her kids...that made things better as well Yea opefully we move out on the current target plan and ill see ya soon. Just glad i dont have to do the kuwait thing

 

Kuwait is not too bad. You get an exercise in doing nothing. I've been kicking it with your OIC lately (good guy). I see your signature. Is that the way you are going and sticking to your guns?

 

I'm feeling you on that college plan for your future kids, too. I'm weighing a few options and I'll share them with you later.

 

Tell him I said whats up! Yea pretty much that will be it. I already have the 1000cc injectors. KevinD says not to buy a MBC as it ca be set with better reliability via setting it in the ecu. Although that option is only good as long as im near dallas. The only thing i can really see doing more is pistons and rods for realibility. I dont want to hold my breath and get the puckered *** effect going on everytime i go WOT once i have the BBK in and going. but that will probably be it as far major big dollar components go. You know youre never done buying small parts here there for that show look or that extra little go juice.

 

Good man... the reason I have no money to spend on my car is because I pre-paid college for my twins this month. $28,700 out the window...

 

ouch indeed, but at least its out the way

 

I will be there this time.

 

Cool. Are you racing or riding this time.
