I was not refering to anyone in particular. As usual you make assinine assumptions about other people's actions or lack of with no first hand knowledge.

Please go hang out on the 37.6mph bike forum or the Tiger forum or whatever. Please. You absence has been much appreciated. :lol:

I wouldnt worry about the seals in the turbo. They're just like little piston rings. They shouldn't be damaged from a little leakage. Just fix the oil drain problem and you should be alright.

I wouldnt sweat the HG damage either. Make sure you torque the new one properly and it should be fine.

No karma involved ace.

Besides, I don't participate on forums in order to find help fixing my cars. If I require help, I call industry professionals who gladly lend a hand. Otherwise I could be steered in the wrong direction by "experts" like you and Duke.

We have a wall of shame at the shop. It features failed parts, etc and a list of asshole customers that we will not sell to. Guess who are the last two names on the list?

You might want to find a better "industry professional" to do your downpipe welding! That shit looks like a 5 year old with an arc welder did it!

Cool, I have a list on my wall of business who do substandard work, ruin engine components with bad machine work, do not do work paid for and then charged me over $8000 with no warranty................the list is short, TCD.

Jackass

Click

Todd, you want me to leave this board? Refund the $8000+ you fucked me out of and I am gone forever.

grsmonkey - sorry about this tread hijack, Todd does it again. And why do any of you guys do business with TCD?

Wow, a whole page of useless pissing. I just asked what you think the hylomar would do that the torque of head studs and design work of a leading company would not...

Why do we do business with TCD? Why not? You appear to be the only person who claims to have been screwed over...

"Claims", really Kyle. You seriously think it is a "claim", you been under a rock for the past 18 months? I am not the only one, I assure you. Just start with the TCD's ebay feedback.


Give me a call and I will tell you all about Hylomar's benefits.

I'll stick with "claims" because it is none of my business. I was not involved in any of the said tranactions, so I cannot attest to fact or otherwise. I would rather stay out of it. You asked a question and I provided one possible answer.

BTW, Hylomar is great stuff, I used it in my engine build, and so far no leaks...I would highly recommend it. I've never heard of it being used on a headgasket, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen...

Duke + Jay,

Your were both offered a buyback of the goods and you both refused.

Duke, you were given a 15% "good guy" discount on the turbo kit and TCD made zero money on the engine work. Todd put you up at his house with his family. You also never gave TCD a chance to correct the problems you encountered with your engine which TCD had no part in except to recommend the machinist. Yes, we are very, very bad to do business with...

We've also seemed to have missed the hordes of unhappy customers you elude to. Who are they?

Jay, you bought that down pipe knowing it was a "second"... a piece we would never have supplied in a kit or sold without that disclaimer. BTW, is your field of expertise in welding inspection? You misinformed Todd, you were called out on it and now you're acting like a three year old who got his cookies taken away. :bawl:

It's was more of a general observation of the welds and the mounting plate ass swell (bandsaw cut?). No, my expertise is not in welding inspection. I'm finishing my machinist/CNC machinist degree in which we have very close relations with qualified welders.

Our flanges are all water jet cut unless you got an older one. We went to the water jet because we weren't happy with the aesthetics of the previous flanges. The one you chose to buy and keep was sitting around for a long time for a reason.

Do you no comprehendo "second"??

It means they know it was of substandard quality and assumed by using said term you understood as well.

Maybe very much like it was understood that Duke has a clue about what he is doing other than having incredible skill at writing checks and bad tuning... ohh and excuse making, blaming others, and giving up a failure :oops:

Yes I understand 2nd, If it was a problem I would have returned it. If need be I will machine a better mounting base. Like I said general observation, obviously was pre-water jet.

That comment is not a general observation given that you KNEW the part you were buying was not going to be of normal high quality.

Yea, damn right. Todd wanted to replace the head with a junk yard B34 that the same machine shop that screwed up the Hartge head worked on. I passed.

TCD is responsible for the machine shop work that he sub contracted and billed me on a TCD invoice for.

Todd never offered to have the car returned to his shop and fixed correctly, I had to do all of the work (including fixing all of the oil leaks from the TCD engine build) of replacing two head gaskets and all I was offered was a lousy head gasket.

Sweeney, you don't have even half the story.

Todd had built several cars and engines yet you (the one whose engine has blown over and over) are the only one blaming Todd for selling defective goods. Your's is the poorest performing TCD car ever. Worse than 250K mile cars, worse than even cars with unknown junkyard engines. IT even performs worse than my car when I first turboed it 6 years ago from obsolete old forgotten junk.

You were great at hocking parts from Germany. Todd is great at building turbo cars.

GEt on your unicycle and get over it.

Back to the original post. Did this colt have a huge "Westside" decal on the back window? If so, I saw that car run at the GRM $2006 Challenge and it is a rocket. I'm very impressed if you were hanging with that machine.

I can't say. It was white. The guy sounded like he knew his stuff when it came to racing. He has a friend that gives him his old track tires- says he's got like 10 sets around.
I was actually doing a datalog and had all my enrichments turned off at the time. I didn't think anything of the car when he pulled up next to me. I dropped down to fourth at about 45mph and thought that would do it. The car just flew by like I was stopped! Second time around I was more serious and held in there pretty good. I think he was pulling on me at the end, but my stupid 3.73's are the reason.

The funny thing is, I just had to put an alt. on this car Fri. and today I went to get my truck out to start driving it and the starter is out!
3.25 gives a theoretical top speed of about 200 mph, so you won't run out of gear. No point in going taller unless you're having major wheelspin problems in 3rd and 4th (you're going to spin in 1st and 2nd no matter what).
