my dad used to work with him before he opened that place so he figured he would use him for building a nice motor for his nova well the a-hole used all china knock off crap...put the geard drive in wrong which messed up a dart m block <~~~expensive...oh and my favorite my dad tried putting the distributor in the motor and couldnt get it to go in so he shines a flashlight into the hole for the distributor hole and sees the tip of a screwdriver...he pulls the intake off its a snap on screwdriver and it is perfect length to fit in that valley this screwdriver is by no means small...how do you miss that...this guy will take a box of name brand push rods and put china knock offs in it and charge you full price...im not making this crap up he has lost almost all local buisness from local racers and relies on ebay, just read his feedback on ebay

-beerjet-

I just don't get you Beerjet. You post sh!t up not to help but just to critisize. Usually, when you refer to my sh!t,  you have no idea WTF you're talking about. You read through a thread about Alcohol vs. Gas and post up you don't care what I think, then why in the phuk are you reading it? Why do you feel the need to post up you don't care what I think? Next up, you're telling me I'm going about my project all wrong, that nothing I have is correct for my app, then you ask me a bunch of questions about what I have because you don't know what I have. Now, you're clowning the stupid little bracket I made to hold up a cable off of my driveshaft, you don't offer any advice, you just clown the sh!t, and you still have no idea what the phuk you are talking about. Then to top it all off, you send me cool pix and text messages as if you like me as a friend or as a person. WTF? I don't give a phuk what the problem is, but if you have a problem with me then SPEAK IT. At Parker last year I helped you and anyone else out that I could help out, we've never seen each other since the AVI last year so once again, WTF?

For the bracket to wear through the cable, the cable would have to move within the bracket thereby causing wear, if the cable can't move in the bracket then there isn't going to be any wear. The cable doesn't move. There's no reason to allow the cable's housing to move. The cable is not being pinched. The clamp for the cable is of the correct diameter for the cable it's being used to clamp. Maybe I'm wrong, but I won't know if it's wrong until it fails or until someone who knows offers me advice. But if all I get is clowns looking for a laugh and a high five from thier buddies, phuk 'em all.  :-*


Have a nice day!




On a different note, I found a guy that is very local to me, he runs a jet drive tunnel hull, also runs a MFI, runs a BBC, also has achieved what I am trying to achieve, the guy is really nice and really helpfull who does all of his own work, he does pump and engine work for race boats, builds sand cars for a living, this could be a HUGE advantage for me in completeing my goal. The only problem I can foresee is how in the hell do you repay a guy back for giving you valuable hard to find information?

WTF ? It's the internet Rod , thats WTF?

People call me gay and slow all the time , Do I care . No . Why ,

BECAUSE IT'S THE INTERNET ! . Thats why .

Besides , Can photochopped images of your boat to look like a freakin airplane really be considered post worthy in a projects forum . I have gone back and read every single page . The only thing you've done successfully is burn up a motor for some undisclosed reason , BTW .
Oh yeah , and you've bought some parts .

You told me to go back and read it , so I did . You really shouldnt let this "internet" get you all worked up  :'(

Beerjet, if the internet is soley a joke to you and all of it is to be taken lightly or with a grain of salt, then now we both know why I don't take your advice on my threads.

I'm a broke dik with no budget trying to reach a goal and keep the family with a roof over their head at the same time. My project is not a joke to me and neither is this thread but that doesn't mean I can't (or other's can't) joke around within this thread.

As far as what I have accomplished, why do you give a phuk? What's your list of achievements - wait nevermind because I don't care what you've achieved.

I've rebuilt a jet boat, while almost all people were telling me that I couldn't resell it at a profit when I was done with it, and then I sold it for a profit.. People just like you Beerjet, after all it's just the internet.



;)

The guy was really really cool. Picked his brain for quite some time. I got to crawl all over his boat and ask him anything about it. It was really enlightning (sp?). Problem is the same thing, never can make up my mind. Then once I make up my mind I find new information that I didn't have before and I start second guessing my original plan - again.  :banghead: Over and over and over.  :banghead:  Yes he has MFI, yes it's a tunnel jet, yes he's got a BBC similar in size to mine, yes it does well over a 100, yes he's running alcohol, yes he's out of gas really quick. He said (loose qoute, talking about both his boat and mine), "basically what you're trying to do is build a race boat that isn't a race boat, it's lay up isn't a race boat, you've got two seats in it, you're hauling a ton of fuel, it's all a compromise, you either want to go fast for a short distance or you want to go slower for a longer distance."

If those are my choices, I'm thinking that I want to go fast for a short distance, but...  :banghead:

Don't you suppose going slower longer might entail a motor that runs longer cheaper and more hassle free.  Tuning every trip gets old.  Just trying to make your head pop.   How am I doing so far?  ;)

LOL   :o  :mad:  >:(



Yes, I think the desire for speed vs. cost of running are hand in hand. However, the boat I saw today hasn't had any re-tuning or broken parts for the last 3 years. Sh!t happens, but I've got some serious parts that will sustain serious HP. Wish me luck.
