Alabma 240 owners...Represent!

[watty]

Hey Keith,

At least me and one other guy are going to be heading to Nicofest Nashville. Also a couple of us are going to show up at the thing in Madison. We need to talk about NOPI Nationals also if you still want to form some sort of caravan.

anyone know if a 3in flange will meet a 2.5in flange properly with no problems ...thanks for the help

[garagelu]

if you are talking about exhaust....The bolt holes are in the same position, but the hole is different diameter. Like if some one uses a stock 2.5 inch sr20 downpipe with a 3 in catback exhaust. So yes it will if you are talking about exhaust.

So...........how many of what are coming to the meet this weekend??

[shpaintball]

if you are coming to the meet tommorrow we will meet up at Dublin park on old madison pike about 130-2pm ish and get some lunch and go cruise if your coming see you there thanks for any support guys if we get some folks its likely we will have more !!!

[RS12Turbo]

head count?

[watty]

Well, due to me being a complete moron, I won't be able to make it today. I forgot that family was coming in town and we have reservations at Mary Bobo's Restaurant up in Lynchburg. I'll give someone a call if I make it back in time to meet up.

I'm out as well............negative 3 degrees of camber in the rear on an already bad set of tires, and a non functioning ac, would make the 4hr round trip trip, feel like 10 hrs. Call me a puss, but it's freak'in hot!Watty, when the time comes.......lets organize a caravan up to Nicofest. I'll have new tires by then, and hopefully my a/c will be blowing a nipling 35 degrees again.Anyway..........hope it's a good time today...........take and post up some pics

[Shift_Alabama]

Okay everyone, I'm back. I had to go to Nashville last weekend to get my car, but hell yeah I got one! W00T! Nothing like that overhead cam V8 sound!

How did the meet go? Next time I'm in!

[shpaintball]

lol no one came thus proving why we dont have meets but my cars are coming along ill get some pics up soon

[HSVDrifting]

Few things here:

First of all...I REALLY don't appreciate you guys talking **** about me in a public forum.

Secondly, you guys had more ways to get in touch. Brad or Haven could have PMed me on either this forum or HSVDrifting. I can't help that my dad decided to be a d!ck and kick me off of my family plan. Kind of hard to call you when he won't let me have my phone to get your numbers. Also, some things kinda get a little lower priority when your load at work triples and you're worried about not having money to buy gas...much less pay for a project car.

Thirdly, I wasn't bitching because things didn't turn out exactly the way I planned. They turned out different from the way that Brad initially told me. I don't blame Haven for this, but Brad, told me that the frame was straight. In addition to that, neither I nor most of the other people that worked on the car (who shall remain unnamed) think the bottom end job was right. The motor was losing compression at anything above idle. That's why I didn't want to pay you $200...well that and the fact that we agreed on $150 before I even got the car...and the fact that you put used pistons in it and didn't check any clearances.

And last but not least, thank you for at least posting back and saying that we worked it out. If either of you are bitter at all, then I have nothing more to say. Brad got his money, and Haven got a running 240 with about $800 more than what he put into it initially in it....not to mention probably at LEAST $5000 worth of labor.

I dunno what's going on between you guys, but lets keep the bickering out of this thread. I made it so that the Alabama guys could have a place to chat and swap info, not argue.

Thanks

[HSVDrifting]

Hey, I feel you. I was just the victim of an unwarranted personal attack. I don't stand for that kinda crap.

</rant>

[watty]

Maybe it would help if you clarified the personal attack because I missed it. I've been subscribed to this thread since the first couple of posts and never saw the personal attack. Just trying to get some closure on this because if I'm confused, I know a few other people have to be.

[HSVDrifting]

thats the guy ...and no hes not screwing us over he just is acting irresponsible....1) need to stay in touch w/ people you owe money to..2) dont get bitchy when things dont turn out just the way u planned...especially on a project car...he wants to cut me out of $$ after i helped him find parts that retail at 200$ for 20$ and gave him parts , and gave him parts he could pay for later ...but he hasnt called or emailed me or anything and now im in need of that money ...for tires now thats weak ...but i still like the guy he just needs to ask a little more responsible about all this ...hopefully he has the car up soon i would love to slide w/ it : )

I guess I just over reacted about this post and some of the ones around it.
