Curt you need to get out of the cellar and get some fresh air! lol I am sure you will get your money. Hang in there bud. August is right around the corner.
thats cause u didnt forget your check at home. and u were giving money to him...

he would be the type of person that would probably show up to your house without the parts and say well i will just take the money and then say he would bring the parts to a local meet and never show


basically what i ask for is honesty and trust.... I trust everyone till I have a reason not too. If your gonna **** me over then you just fucked yourself out of deals from me in the future... Im more then willing to help anyone that needs it but if I cant get the respect I ask for then you wont get any in return...

lets face it the economy sucks and everyone needs help in some way, shape, or forum and what I try to do is offer cheap and affordable auto work... I have all the access to anything and everything needed to get any job done aside from painting but guess what.... my womans uncle does body work and owns a shop right up the block from my house. Once done with my house arrest I was planning to go up there and ask to be there for not money but to help and in return payment to teach me the art of body work.

I can practically do anything... all that limits me is tools and as some may know I can in some way shape or form get my hands on them tools weather I buy them or get ahold of someone that has them.

Ive done stereos, tranny swaps, ive done shift kits on auto trannys, i can tune with a little of my time spent learning the way to tune them, I can turn a pile of parts into a turbo kit, I have assisted in motor rebuilds, head swaps, head rebuilds, I can do porting as ive done quiet a bit of research on what works and what doesnt....

but I cant take all the credit for everything i do as there is times im stumped and have to call friends for insight but in the end I do learn and get it done. Im a sponge when it comes to working on a vehicle. Im not afraid to dig into something not knowing whats gonna happen just to get it running again and say I did it...

on a side note I wouldnt be at this point if it wasnt for one person... my brother for sparking my interest in cars back when i was 16.... then that spark turned into a wild fire once I came across some great friends that were willing to teach me everything I know today.... I dont need to say names as if they read this they know who they are.

to sum it up what ive learned in my life time

knowledge is power.... power is everything.... so knowledge is everything

If it werent for curt, my car wouldnt be running,if it weren't for curt i dont think alot of peoples cars would be working, due to things he help fix on a bunch of peoples cars, curt bent over backwards in order to get my car running. I thank you again!!. oh and he mods a pretty good xbox360 too. in my opinion there nothing that he can't do, and trust me like he said if theres something he can't, he will very shortly know how too, cause he researches everything before hand, so he knows its gettting done right, and done right the first time to 110%standards.

Went out to GLD tonight and I hit my one goal for the night and that is to trap 105mph. I really need to work on the 60' cause I think a 2.2 2.3 is too high. The car was consitantly hitting 104 so I think that I will be getting on the LSJ vs LNF showdown list sometime this year. You guys should have came out tonight because you could hot lap the **** out of your car.

I knew that you would ask this question. Keep in mind I need some more seat time in this car at the track.

14.192 @ 105.00, 2.372 60'
14.111 @ 104.22, 2.292 60'
14.264 @ 103.57, 2.384 60'
15.130 @ 102.62, 2.909 60'
14.355 @ 104.08, 2.413 60'
14.115 @ 104.72, 2.342 60'
14.375 @ 104.10, 2.363 60'

I ran that many times in about 2 hours letting the car cool down after every two or three passes.

but yet again i have to thank the hacks cause its the hacks that end up creating the cars that are brought to me which makes me so wise to repairing cars without them top dollar machines that dealerships need to use that spoon feeds them the information.

I swear some of the dealership techs ive seen and met make me laugh. some of which make me wonder how the hell they got that peice of paper that allows them to work and touch cars.... and dont get me wrong i make mistakes too but things im refering to is common sense issues. Ive seen a dealership put a truck on a lift not double checking things and find out there pickin a truck up by its body. My dad went to the dealership for a oil change come to find out hes out his truck for 3 days while they order a new mirror cause the tech ripped it off. read a article of a dealership ******* up a LS7 motor cause they did a traditional oil change on a dry sump oil system.

plus ive watched my cars physically get beat the snot out of not just driving but in the shop too. slamming doors hitting **** with wrenches cause its not going there way...

sorry but idc If the car is valued at 100 dollars or 100 grand i treat everything the same. well almost the same... I make the exception for my pile of **** blazer..... but anyways

I can't make fun of you for that. I have never been to the track so I have no idea how I would run.

What time do these events start? If I was given enough notice I could take the afternoon off and meet you down there.

During the week they are open from 5pm-10pm. Your car will easily in the low 13's but the problem is hooking up. I had a ton of fun last night and learned some things about what my car likes and doesn't like. My first run of the night was a 14.3 @104 so when I got my slip Alex (PRNDL) came by and said do a burnout this time. Did a decent one wheel burny cause the guy didn't line me up in the water box that well but I did land a 14.1 on that run. The trick is trying to find a way to launch your car without spinning the tires.

I should be in the low 13's. But I have never been to the track so I am guess I would run a couple 14s in the beginning.

I hope you didn't burn up your clutch...

Easier said that done. I do have boost limited first and second gear. That should help a little

I doubt it. If you take it easy launching I think your car has the ***** to get a 13 regardless.

Clutch is super strong. It is so nice just being able to hammer right through the gears.

You will need it. I have boost reduction in 1st but I could use a little more.

Anyone care to donate money to my cause.... I got a horrid tooth problem which is crippling me at the moment....

but seriously anyone know of a dentist that takes a payment plan or is for low budget income?

I tried getting a credit line but having no job or a cosigner is limiting my options and being house arrest it doesnt allow me to take a chance to go to marquette university and try to get emergency work done

well if its absolutly needed and is an emergency i dont see how you're P.O. or whatever it maybe cant arrange something for you to have this taken care if since it NEEDS to get fixed. A toothache can kill you. Infection goes to the brain and can kill you, my moms a nurse i get told that all the time.

Ya, tell me about it. My **** already doesn't come to full spool until 4200rpm.

I also just ordered a Saab intake manifold and another LS4 throttle body. I got this intercooler from CXRacing.com, and it came with piping, couplers, and a fake greddy BOV. I also bought an aluminum MAF bung from OTTP. My buddy from school is gonna TIG it all up for me.
Oh, ya. I'm getting my "under the car dumping" exhaust put on tom. Yay

I'm looking to at least hit 400whp before I rebuild and add a clutch. I made peak power right at redline, so I'm mos def doing a valvetrain upgrade so I can spin to about 8k.
