Just be careful - that AlvinG is always trying to race (on foot) or attempt to school people in basketball. He's a big talker.

Default New Z-Car Garage Loan Car Program?

Looking forward to that...
I feel slighted cuz Rob never offered me a loaner-car. I would gladly have taken the Skyline home for a couple of months while he had my car
You guys will be pleased with the quality of his work and his follow-through. I know I am

Dammit.. I don't think I'm going to make it down there boys. I'm really sorry, but I've got a motor swap I'm doing in my garage and I HAVE to get it done, because it looks like I'm building an autocross car this winter, and I have to go pick up that car today.... I have too many damn cars here... I need to get some stuff done, so hanging at the garage probably won't happen.. Sorry bout that!

You mean it's still where SP was on Laffeyette in Santa Clara?? Any progess done on the car? I'm very dissappointed with all the bad rep i've been hearing about him. Can you take your Z and all the parts somewhere else, like ZCG? What the heck, I've realized Rob & his guys are the best game in town for the Z community, thinking they always were, and I have no problem saying that to everybody.

So when you get Ted on the phone, what does he say? I'd suggest getting an assessment on your car (meaning - find out how much work is left on it), handle the finances, and have Rob finish it. He'll finish it in a split, then I can get my fifty bucks. :-)

I need to take my car to Zcar first thing in the morning. I think my car is pinging or detonating. Reset my EC by unpluging the battery. I think that might have erased the s-afc memory. Need to have rob dyno my car and have it tuned.

ya bro its right there sitting between 3 cargo vans...its ridiculous, the shops new name is Sound of Speed,whooppeeee, lol ...i went there and chris showed me wat he is doing so far with the build and the engine is up and running the only thing is that my "exhaust" (lambo) needs to be fitted with my new rear bumper. After that he needs to "tune it", the really strange thing is that he said the exhaust takes the whole day to put on???
i havent heard of a days worth of time being spent on a exhaust being put on its ridiculous... i really didnt kno what to do and now that its nearing completion i really dont kno, should i wait any longer ?or just take it to rob?
i am confused
but from watt i understand it doesnt take 4 months to build a damn engine...and a day for an exhaust?
to top that off he never returns my calls i have to go to that stupid shop and see the progress of my car, its stupid
now that i am hearing about these leaks with the exhaust that he installs i am a bit weary becuz i dont kno if he will fix it in the future any help with that guys?

was up bro

well the conversation goes like this
Ahmad-"ted was up bro wats goin on"
Ted- "still workn on it"
Ahmad- "when will it be done?"
Ted- "soon were almost done with everything"
(keep in mind this was in july after a month being in the shop)
then every single week after that he says the famous SP quote in my Opinion
"NEXT WEEK BRO"


the only prob scott is that my engine is running with my stock exhaust and the car still needs to be tuned so i dunno what u think bro?
lol i am guessing u got that off my myspace lol ahah
ref to the 50bucks

That's fck'd up!! You caught him with your job when he was going on the outs and now he doesn't give a ****. That's the way I see it anyway. I would pick that car up on Monday, payoff whatever you have to pay, and take it you know where. Read that envoice very carefully too.
