Hey Johnny, just wanted to drop a quick line and say NICE work! I'm kinda busy at work now, so I'll read the details later and reply again!

See you at the FBF meet on May 15th!

lets let sleeping dogs lie .. also for your info , i was about to purchase another mems s/c and got screwed out of the deal (johnny knows about that) so as far as stepping up , some can make split second decisions and some prefer to take their time and map everything out finances and all..

do us both a tiny favor and just relax man ..




johnny sorry for going off topic , but i dont want the masses to think that i am trying to put down a nicly done car.. and i think after talking with johnny that a guy of his calibur appreciates good constructive opinions to help further the objective..


its called being open minded

1st off the "horrid" was posted by you, but who mentioned you about not stepping up? That was a general statement but i guess it fits you best, seeing that you decided to take that part of my post "personal" and "direct" lets bring it up. I am well aware that you can't make rash and quick decisions with that kind of money but for about 3 years you posted "RMM SC coming" in your signature, then when they became availible on clearance in the last year you criticize the unit. Then they sell out and you conveniently utter "just my luck, I'm finally ready and they sold out".

After this, TTpimp has a TT set up for sale at a fraction of the cost. Than you start to bash the SC set up saying the TT set up is better, posting all over TTpimp's thread with detailed specification questions and numerous picture requests and once again, you "decided" not to buy. I think pimp knows all these details.LOL ..All of a sudden you were going to build your own set up was the new excuse. Now lo and behold you want the RMM S/C setup AGAIN, yet don't pull the trigger. Based on the replies on that thread, and everyone calling you out as a poser (myself not included), I am not the only one that noticed that. Also "contemplating" a purchase over and over while someone else actually buys it does not warrant you useing the term of "i got screwed"

I don't see what thats has to do with johny. buy i'll let him chime in on that

Its your money, and your 5 years of research to rationalize getting a supercharger than has been utilized by over 5-10 members already. But please stop wasting peoples time and CL bandwith. Purchase the thing already please and post pics, we will all share in your enjoyment (myself included). Have a great day.

immaturity at it s best right here

try not being such a tool for once bro

everyone that knows me knows i do things with a specifice objective in mind.. every componet in my car has function and has research behind it to match.. some are having issues with the setup which i am still trying to decide .. some who gives a damn what i put in my sig . hell its my sig..


you use the term poser like it should really apply to me.. just becuase i have not fully pulled the trigger as yet.. like i must do this to satisfy the likes of your type.. you must be completey stupid to believe that.. i have no fun in beleiveing with my driving style that i stand the potential of causing serious damage to my car which has never let me down in over 2 yrs just to acheive acceptance status from the likes of people like you.. no way , i will continue my merry way and do the things i see fit ( for my way has worked thus far being semi retired at the ripe old age of 38)


i am still toying with the idea of boosting a sc to satisfy my boost thirst.. (a 2jz is a much safer platform to fool around with , 1 uz block goes for about 8k , 2 jz about 600 , you do the math)



also your facts are twisted like your mindset about the deal i lost out on , if i was a diff person i would post up the emails between me and the person but i dont deem it approriate for its a lost cause.. but in short , last email comm between me and the person was , my words exactly " i will take the setup , consider it sold " the person agreed to send me a video tape with it running on the car so i could satisfy myself and making sure it was running correctly seeing it had over 25k miles on it .. so say over kill , but i say its my hard earned money and i felt safer doing it that way , hell the person even encouraged it.. then all of a sudden i get a email its been sold without even asking me for the deposit seeing that 2 nights prior the deal was made..i call that getting screwd but hey to each is own and no bad feelings here , i move on..


dont tell me about wasting bandwidth with some of your pointless replies and threads.. i help all those who ask .. when and who have you helped with anything but a (congrats )


please excercise alittle more maturity and let the past stay in the past and we can co exsisit if not then , what ever



please now that we have invaded johnnys space with this crap , any thing further , do it in pm

Johnny the car looks sick bro, bottom line is you stepped up and you are making a monster bro.
Ed bro, take that to pm man, no need for that in Johnny's thread.

adrian

you used to have such compassion about people and there thoughts and feelings , within the last 6 months or so you have come off on some like i am the man


johnny, i see you and adrian have shared some discussions which most of what adrian is feeding you is crap ..adrian has been lead to believe some things which are simply not true .. so everyone he talks to about me he seems content on spreading more..


i am done here and quite frankly i am surprised you would have taken such a stance about a stupid grill that i used to have as well that i myself never really liked



i am really taken back by this but life goes on and so will i

mark this is not a disagreement by far , this is a guy whos been led to believe things which are the farthest from the truth ..


i had mucho respect for this forum and for every member on here esp bluelex , tlw and many many others.. thats would always inspired me to try and be helpful as possible to everybody including even working on guys cars including adrian


everyone knows this and i am really tired of the propaganda being spread about me

johnny

my deepest apoligies , this should have never been brought up here .. adrian lt it go please


i know you have thoughts and yes those people are not telling you the truth but hey you never ever gave me the chance to defend my position.. if you want to a grown man about this why not pm me the details and i will clarify and sep what is truth from what is lies.. the main person involved in this had other motives for leading others a stray and you know what i am talking about..




i called the grill in gen stupid not johnnies persay .. i used to have one remember hell its still in my sig pic



johnny again , i will refrain from any further in this thread , you and adrian can countinue to be boys ...


maybe one day adrian will learn the truth


goodluck with your car and take care
