  2. On behalf of all of us at IPS ill just say that we really appreciate the post and the kind words after all the talk and accusations and so forth. Its finally good to hear that all the extra time and effort and energy that went into the car was noticed and appreciated. Also good to hear shes up and running strong and that its putting down some good numbers Again, thanks to Ant for clearing things up and thanks for finally putting an end to all of this. We have no desire to go into details either but for our part in all of this we have long since apologized for but will do so again today and look forward to FINALLY putting all this behind us and slowly becoming a part of CR again. Thanks Ant, Mike Weve got your "IPS" windshield banner down at the shop whenever youd like to swing by! tongue.gif
  3. VR4's / TT's can be made EASY 12-second cars with mostly stock parts. BPU cars have gone mid/high 12s and 15g (stock compressor housing = TINY) have gone high 10s on spray and 11.0s on boost. Things are REALLY starting to change over on 3si with all the TD05 turbo options including using the 14bs with adapter plates and the 13/18Ts and the even bigger Garrett GT series turbos. There are a handful of running single turbo cars that all have crazy potential for hp #s and track times. As far as the constant "pig" comments its quite easy to get them down to a svelt 3400-3500lbs. Not trying to argue thats light, but atleast its in the same ballpark as the supras, 300ZX's, F-bods and lighter than the new cobras. Car will never be a *great* 1/4 mile car but its very capable of holding its own and still being able to run on the highway and even be competitive at a roadcourse all at the same time without changing tires. Theyre not all bad smile.gif Just thought id add some insight tongue.gif Oh, and i have no-where near $20k in my engine--brett actually pays me to design and fabricate evrything so i think i might be up Oh, and yes this is Jeff with my first post on here in close to a year smile.gif
  4. Because at the time of the post all it was was "trying" to make good. Since then Ants called down to the shop and Jeffs talked to him and things are getting resolved. Prior to that none of us was exactly jumping up and down about a single apologetic post close to a year later. We have no intentions of digging back up everything or pointing fingers again--just would like to see what we were owed for our services as a shop and then ammend things in terms of friendships etc on an individual basis. Thats it. Stop trying to stir shit up and let the parties involved work themselves out like Ants looking to do.
  5. You suck at the reading comprehension. There was no "low blow" whatsoever. Just simply stating that almost a year later the damage to our shop as far as reputation and so forth has been done. Thankfully it seems to have been limited to the world of CR and there are lots of car guys out there that either dont believe everything they hear or havent been on to ask where to take their car. Simple as that. Jeff has spoken with Ant already today and is in the process of FINALLY getting things resolved. All parties agree that it should have NEVER come this far or taken this long to realize mistakes made but you live and learn. Better late than never... And as far as the personnel change, none was due to someone "sucking" or not but more like getting people doing things they actually ENJOY doing--makes for a happier work environment. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend anyone no longer involved based on their contributions here. Mike
  6. Well well well. I guess my first reaction would be to ask what brought this on all of the sudden? A simple post, although a start, is not making us all "forgive and forget" all of the sudden when someone so deliberately set out to hurt our business for close to a year for absolutely no reason other than spite. That being said, it might have been somewhat of a blessing because up until yesterday with our mini "Grand Opening" at our new place, http://dieseldigital.net/media/2004/ips_111604/ we were too busy to get any more cars in anyway and couldnt have handled much more business. Now things are different. We have a newly revamped webpage and new shopping cart days away from being completed. A brand new 4000+ Sq Ft building to work out of. Complete build-up project cars out our ears and were just happy to be growing despite every single one of us being banned from here for most of the year now. As some of you may or may not know, 2/3 of the IPS founders are no longer involved and all aspects of our business have been vastly improved. Everything from promptness of parts ordering, to returned phone calls, to cars getting in-and-out both quicker and sounder have made IPS do a complete 180 over the past year. EDIT: This is in NO WAY an admittance to any poor or improper work on Ants car and as we left things FOREVER ago we stand by our work 100%. We are very proud of both the work that we do and the team we have assembled as we believe we have some of the most imaginative and innovative car enthusiasts around. To those on here who dont know any of us down at IPS--myself, my brother Jeff, Brett, or any of our other supporting staff, feel free to stop down and check out the new place. We feel we have been done a huge injustice being banned from here for absolutely no reason and just would like to get back to being able to help any of you with parts or services when we can or just to be around to liven things up from time-to-time We are more than happy to discuss things with Ant and look forward to FINALLY putting an end to all of this. email: sales@ipsmotorsports.net shop: 298-8920
  7. you are a fucking coward. if you had the balls to check out rc you might see that your confidence in people taking your side is not accurate. the only stories people are starting to believe is that all you do is spread lies. btw, why did you ever take your car to ips to begin with. just curious since you are master mechanic i would have thought that a cam swap would be a cake walk. or maybe its that you are a fat fuck that couldn't turn a wrench to save his life, just my .02
