    Thanks man. We'll have a booth set up and be running the EVO and VR4 as well as atleast one customer car and bringing a few more. Hopefully it will cool down a bit and it should be some fun. Sam -- i hear ya on the clutch thing -- im amazed mine has lasted as long as it has so hopefully she'll hold up for a couple good passes...
  2. Thanks guys! We really appreciate all the compliments smile.gif MTI -- Johns on vacation and im sure he can give you the exact #s but im pretty sure he did right around 49x at the wheels on a 100-shot on a pretty hot/humid day. Boost-a-Pump is in so im pretty sure hes looking to bump the shot a bit and see where it goes from there Jeff -- Yeah, the ol Saleen is sounding quite a bit healthier with the 331 stroker and the cam/heads Cant wait to hear about how she does on the roadcourse this weekend. Thanks again for the kind words and thank you guys for the business graemlins/thumb.gif
  3. Atleast we know how much validity to give his weekly conquests of every 9 and 10 second car in a 60 mile radius now redface.gif This post (esp from someone that was actually there) couldnt have been any less accurate... Im sure he would have tagged along but his mom wouldnt up his allowance for the extra gas to drive all the way down (if in fact the car would even make it) Or maybe it was curfew?
  4. Im sending out my "crew" to Chicago next weekend and Indy the weekend after that. Taking over Ohio unannounced is wayyyy too easy -- we'll be the Kings of the Midwest by mid-august graemlins/burnout02.gif
  5. Im sure each will post but until then -- 1) Dr Z06s car is inside my shop and hes in Myrtle Beach (he was deathly afraid and had to flee the state ) 2) Sams car just got a cam a couple days prior and is waiting on his tuning software to arrive (car wont really go above 2500rpms) and is no was no where close to race-ready last night. 3) Linns clutch is beyond dead but he was still willing to race all night long (and did run atleast 2 or 3 cars that i saw). 4) I was out but car needs to have the tank dropped and cleaned out. No idea what crawled up in it and died but a new fuel filter gives me about 1/2 hr of clean pulls on boost and then it starts getting leaner and leaner and leaner. Car runs 14.0s on boost so i didnt figure theyd want to run it n/a Oh, and aside from the Cobra possibly beating the Viper once (just heresay so dont quote me) who else got beat?
  6. Go up to True2Form @ Shier Rings (Dublin). They only have 2 painters and they are both very very good. Greg (one of the 2) painted the VPs new 911 when it was hit and he had virtually 100 different painters to choose from (throughout all the 47 stores). Lotsa good body guys as well. Chris Harris is the manager but just ask for Mark and he'll get you taken care of. Jeff
  7. I think they look cool. Taurus engine is gay. Only "real world" experience ive ever seen was 2 years ago at Midohio -- it was the only car of more than 100 that couldnt make it 2 laps around the track for "parade" laps without breaking. Wayyyyy too much money for a kit car imo...
  8. Got a customer interested in supercharger/turbo/nitrous on a 98 V6 Mootang and im in the middle of 100 other things so i figured id see who around here (MJxxxx comes to mind) has done anything successfully to one. For example: What kits have been proven to make xxx gains or run xxx or which are quality, relatively easy to install and which you have to pretty much fab everything yourself. Yada yada... Thanks in advance! For the money hes looking to spend i just told him to spray it but interested in any info i can get smile.gif
  9. 300Z's? I guess you could say we work on a few of them http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/Johnnys%20na%20Supra/Zsinshop1.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/Johnnys%20na%20Supra/Zsinshop7.jpg http://ipsmotorsports.net/pictures/Johnnys%20na%20Supra/Zsinshop9.jpg Give me a call about whether you might be interested in a TT swap or i think we have enough NA parts left over to build a good longblock and get you back up NA as well. Take care, Jeff EDIT: Thumb tags, Jeff. Kisses tongue.gif ~Anthony [ 10. June 2005, 06:57 AM: Message edited by: Aggressor ]
  10. That was me smile.gif Johns car but i was driving it over to get her tuned with the new goodies installed. Its a horrible job but somebodys got to do it
  11. Damn, i guess that makes me a regular smile.gif You were a passenger as the Laser unleashed all its raw fwd powah vs a certain awd gsx I think i scarred Mark for life on the whole racing thing
  12. Thanks for the apology and i too apologize for my colorful "adjectives" in my replies. Ill keep my responses a little more professional on here and save all the good stuff for PMs tongue.gif Otherwise, i just hope that everyone else reading that drivel is wise enough to tell the difference between what was an assumption (or 14th-hand information at best) and what was fact. If anyone isnt clear feel free to ask away or PM me and ill gladly clarify. Jeff
  13. Less than cordial? He has the attitude that he doesnt care if what hes posting is true or not. He knows nothing about what happened (not that there is any reason to bring it up now even if he did) and when i explain that to him he just wants to meet and talk about it graemlins/gay.gif The short version: Im going to talk as much shit about Ricky or you as i want, make up what i want, post heresay as fact, and then if i get called on it apologize in person but leave my BS up on a public forum to convince SOMEONE that it just might be true. Righhhhtttttt. And im supposed to be "cordial" and kiss and make-up for what reason? LOL. You guys kill me... Once upon a time ago this was a useless thread about someone de-modding a fast Viper for whatever reason graemlins/jerkit.gif
  14. Not sure who youre talking about (your friend) but its funny you say this as my poor car looks stripped from how many parts ive sold off her while its just sitting anyway for people in a jam
  15. Thats the short version
  16. Congrats - youve succeeded! Kindly go get yourself a cookie and not post any more BS unless youd like to stop down to the shop and talk to me in person graemlins/popcorn.gif
  17. That race was actually vs Howard (if youre talking about the dig race) since i dont think ive ever ran Hua. I was *almost* as bad as Linn once-upon a time ago, but that was when i was young and crazy smile.gif That being said i think the VR4 made it in a few vids last year and i roll-raced quite a few cars once the ignition issues were resolved. I "pussed" out of racing Mike L last summer because the car was breaking up bad under any real boost and Ricky pulled me on the way out so i told him i didnt want to waste his time. It was out of respect for how quick his car was and not because i dont like racing or "wont race". Just like this year no matter how fast my car gets id never race Mario because there is no point wasting each others time. Anyway, ill look you up once shes all back together and see what happens
  18. I dont have a single employee thats posted in this thread. I have a couple friends that come down to the shop and help out every once in awhile or just swing by to BS but no one that actually works here. Oh, youre getting info from the DSM crowd huh? LOL. I should have guessed. Ill be more than happy to race you or anyone else when shes back together. The ignition problems have LONGGGGG since been taken care of and it pulls nicely past 25psi now smile.gif Stock igntion + Old Clutch = 14 second car
  19. Im not an employee Still waiting...
  20. This is my last reply in this thread because only teachers correct someone as many times as ive had to within the past hour and im not getting paid to make you less ignorant. FACT: My car ran every single day of last season. First day of spring til the last day of fall. The clutch has been an absolute nightmare for the past 2 years and its not fun to drive so it was only out weeekends and a few trips to Dayton. Never once drove it around "just because". FACT: My car has been sitting so far this spring waiting on nothing but Valve-springs and a new clutch just because i hate the existing one. FACT: Assuming i had every single part here to get the car on the road today its still like 12th in line and customer cars come first. Or being all-knowing like you are im sure youd work on your own car instead of your customers to keep up that stellar service huh? FACT: I dont have a single employee here that has ever had issues with a customer. EVER. Hell, i dont have a single employee here that has ever had issues with a customers car for that matter... Just for giggles since you know everything--ill give you $100 if you can even name an employee here. Prove that youre not just pulling shit out of your ass and name an employee working here now. Good luck! Im done. Ive got much better things to do then correct every single mindless sentence you try to pawn off as fact. Im very confident that even someone that has never met me and has never heard of IPS can distinguish fact vs fiction and even though your story-telling has been mildly entertaining, its about as factual as the Easter Bunny. On with your regularly scheduled banter... [ 09. May 2005, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: turbotrio ]
  21. This wasnt even directed at me and ill correct this one for you as well tongue.gif Sams inability to drive? So youve beat him i assume? Have sub 11.50 slips laying all over your room? What exactly do you drive Mr. I know nothing about everything? Im actually kinda curious now...
  22. Actually, its getting VERY tiresome correcting every single thing you post, but go back and look dipshit, i posted a quote that at best could be described as indirectly aimed at your buddy with the Viper. Are you his spokesperson? Gay lover? Or just a good ol-fashioned CR Nutswinger? Speaking of funny quotes. You walk away from the table at Hooters that night and my girlfriend leans over and asks "Whats the word you call guys that have to race with other peoples cars? A Squirrel or something?"
  23. Aftermaket valve springs that have been on back-order for well over 3 1/2 months says my car is down because we are inept? LOL. I cant stress enough how your inference of what you think you know continues to make you look dumber than hell. Keep it up sherlock! Yes, i could decide to go with a completely new cam and just spend $2k needlessly instead of wait for a free part to come in but were so busy i doubt my personal car would be any further along anyway. Anything else youd like to be completely wrong about today? Care to tell me what my favorite color is?
  24. Once again you keep talking about things you know NOTHING about. The deal of the parts you are so insistant about bringing up (Tein Coilovers and a GT28RS Turbo) was between Ricky and Dan. No one stole anything. No one took anything without the other not knowing what was going on. No controversy, no conspiracy, no nothing. Just little fags like you that heard something from someone else's brothers cousin nephew and you thow it around like its fact. For those of us that know every detail of the transaction you continually make yourself look dumber and dumber and even when it seems impossible... DUMBER. Congrats
  25. LOL. Lets see. You walk up to the table and ask if weve seen the Viper in the parking lot. Then you proceed to go on about setting up 1-mile races with bikes in town. Then you ask if i drove my car there and act all disappointed when i say no. Then you continue to ask me about the 3/s cars in the parking lot or if i know any friends with faster cars that will be out later. (EDIT--of of this can be validated by my GF, a customer of mine, and his GF as we were all sitting at the table at the time ) All that hoop-la because your boys car wasnt even ready and he wanted to race LATER in the year? Nice try spin-doctor but youre a moron graemlins/nutkick.gif Now, whos racing broken cars? Whos bragging about it? WTF are you talking about? Im almost too afraid to ask, but what does any of that have to do with the shop? The work we do has absolutely positively NOTHING to do with any of this and im very happy to say it more than speaks for itself. Change the subject a few more times and you might get some attention away from the fact that a little bitch got caught calling someone else a bitch
