Seriously. I’m dying here! Thank God nobody else is home! :lol:
wipes tears out of eyes
Anyhow, the douchebag in this thread is strong. Maybe vipergts is a bag, but if you’re going to hate on him bring something other than “You’re young and are claiming success. No way you’re legit.” Keep up talk like that and you’ll wind up in Obama’s cabinet. :io:
this motor calls for a rag as an installation tool?
Apparently!
Sorry for wiping things off when putting on a timing belt. My bad :suicide:
dont apologize…its ok.
im just blowing on coals
Yes I was dealing with cars before I even had a damn license.
Bought the 3000GT VR4 right after I turned 16, Owned it for about 9 months. Ordered the Viper when I was still 16, it came in about 4 months later, when I had turned 17. The second Viper was an impulse purchase, walked into the dealership a few days before my 19th birthday, saw it, and went home with it the next morning. LOL.
[PS- yes, these were “Trade ups”, I did not own the cars at the same time… I left the Multiple Viper Owner crap for 2009 where they are coming out of my ears]
$45K, Red 2004, 20K miles, 800hp Twin Turbo… Any takers? LMAO
Meh, they’re are nicer cars, automotively speaking, but that is pretty badass. I would like to own a viper some day.
i see what you did there
Lol i remember you showing up to class at UB and pulling out your phone and telling me “look what i just traded the GTS in for”
i also remember you and drew looking up wrecked cars to buy all day in that machining class in high school.
LOL, I don’t think I paid attention AT ALL during the last couple years of High School, hahaha… I was too busy making money in the back of the class on the computer. The best part was when the teachers stopped caring that I wasn’t paying attention, and accepted the fact that I would be leaving the classes randomly to take phone calls. I guess they figured that if I was still getting 90+ in every class, it didn’t really matter. lmao… poor Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Jablonski, Mr. Mendola and Mr. Borsche…
Jablonski hahaha. He tried so hard to keep our attention.
I remember the day you brought the Viper to school, Dan. Shit was priceless :lol:
I think I hold the record for detentions and teachers leaving classes. Students walked out of class and got busted, and teachers left their classes to boot.
Fun day 
Do I think he represents himself well on nyspeed, no.
Do I think he does top notch work, yes.
Would I give a flying fuck if something as silly as this with all of these what ifs was brought to me like 6 years after, no.
I don’t recall O but I hardly believe he would be worried. See one of the perks of being a solid dudbroski like Dan is solid dudebroski friends.
Well D it is only people like us that really understand that we can have a ton of nice things at a young age and not have been fed by a silver spoon. Most others just assume we were to feel better about not having done anything themselves.
Yea. I sling honda parts. I’m mad rich
Fuck u hataz
i should probably sell cars and not parts lol
i owned an integra at age 17, not a viper :wtf:
Yer doin it wrong.
Some people just seem born with an industrious attitude. Misteroman & lafengas stand out in my mind…
This comes to mind…
what kinda cars you guys parting out to make so much? I tried doing it with mustangs and not worth the minimal amount of money you make off them.
Dan,
Are you certified or just kinda creeped into working on cars?
I read a few posts and remembered I had this in my ctrl+v:
dont hate, I just think it applies someplace here
mitsu 3kgt’s mostly from what i remember. too many mustangs to really “corner” a market. Dan did well until another person started doing the same as him and just flooded the market with parts.
yea god forbid there was more than one supplier of honda,bmw,mitsi,subaru,chevy or ford parts…the aftermarket would crumble leaving us with free mods like weight reduction and distributor clocking…smite me now before thy horride day commith!!!
3000GT VR4’s were a hell of a market back in the day… expensive new, parts were insanely expensive. However, they were dirt cheap salvage because they were impossible to put back together, and nobody wanted to work on them.
I am not ASE certified, and I have not had any “formal” training in the automotive field, and would put myself up against any of them, any day. I am self taught in every respect save about 75% of a Mech E/MBA, but that was after I was already head first into doing what I do now. I feel that for the most part, those programs teach you how to swap parts and do simple diagnosis on certain systems, but thats about it. Not that I am knocking them, but I know MANY, MANY ASE techs at dealerships that may be mechanically inclined, but ask them WHY they are doing what they are doing, or WHY exactly something works the way it does, and you get the blank stare.
When it comes to mechanical and electrical devices, I have always been able to understand them. I have yet to have any type of automotive system make me scratch my head for more than a few minutes, other than getting into bus system code and things of that nature. A lot can be said about understanding WHY you are doing something or WHY something works as opposed to HOW to change something or HOW something works. One of those can only be applied to an application, the other can be applied to an entire market.
