6 years??

[NOJIMMY]

Re: 6 years??

I find the responses to this thread pretty funny.

Jimmy - You know SyTy's pretty well, there is no doubting that. But at the end of the day you spend how many thousands of dollars on a motor and your running 12's maybe a high 11 on a good day? I know stock longblock bolt on trucks that run that and they didn't have to purchase a motor to do so. So when it comes to giving advise on that subject I think you are a bit off.

Tooky - Why are you even posting on the subject? Last time you butted your head in where you didn't belong you ended up saying sorry how many times? Then you had to leave with your head between your legs.

Who in this thread actually knows Herman's information? Who here who has posted knows if he has paid, or hasn't paid? Who here knows what work he has gotten done or not gotten done? NO ONE! To tell someone to leave a shop when you don't know ANY of the facts let alone some of them is ignorant and naive.

When someone such as him, me or anyone else allows a project to take that long I believe it is quite clear that it is not a top priority for the owner of the truck. If the time frame was/is such an issue why wasn't it ever addressed? Has he complained once in his post about it? NOPE so why does everyone else feel the need to put the .02 cents in. He asked a simple question and the peanut gallery was not able to give a simple answer.

These types of actions seem to explain alot to me. I have been sitting back debating whether I want to make the drive to KC next week or not. I went to look at the SyTyNationals.com page and I saw the list of sponsors. Here is the list:

Vendors & Sponsors

* Double Tree Hotel
* KCIR
* N.A.S.T.E.
* Nadine Graphics
* Revolution Industries
* SyTy.net
* SyTy.org
* Track and Show Fabrication

That is a PATHETIC list of sponsors and vendors considering how many quality shops have opened who are able to work on the trucks. That list use to be quite a bit longer did it not? But why should people support an event when they get constantly shit on by other ill informed members?

The phrase "Don't shit where you sleep" comes to mind. Keep making stupid, ignorant, naive, ill informed post on subjects you know nothing about and there will be no supporting shops or vendors left.

-END RANT-

Now go ahead and bash me like usual. The fact is not one thing is this post is not true.

We ALL know that a build can vary in time (depending on what you want, what you
can afford, what is available, what you demand, and what/how often you change your mind). So why flame your builder in public????

We ALL know that JIMMY has a major problem with being objective with respect to
Rockford Racecraft. So why didnt he just "recommend" his engine`s builder?

We ALL know that the SyTy Nationals is/has become very polarizing, and is LESS
about bringing fast trucks with different builds to the event than socializing. So why
not give everyone a trophy for attendance?

And We ALL know that Silly (aka Woz) is funny and different in a good way. So
why not ENCOURAGE different receipe`s like his (and mine) to promote ideas as such?

The answers lie with maturity, selfishness, and political agendas on this site.
Its no wonder Jason Leach will never post an update on the progress of his ProSy here!

Can you re-write that in english and maybe say what the actual problem was? I know you posted before that you were not happy and that you HAD NOT PAID either. Then said you were sorry after you had your dad call for you.

Re: 6 years??

its me herman again.

i just simply asked and wanted to know if anyone else's truck has taken 6 years for a motor. I have funded rr 6,000 dollars to be exact. i dont say that i dont trust guy he always seems nice to me and he always trys to explain things to me. it just seems like we are going around in circles with this project. who needs to know me? and why does this other dude keep getting all pissy about me posting on here.??? who cares?? I just would like information thats it. all I keep hearing about is how good rr is and rr is meticulate with there work. well i wanna see it get my truck done and lets see how good he really is. and if it is that good. everyone on here will be seeing my posts time after time about how happy i am. its not that big of a deal. build a truck. and finish it. i can't believe that someone would even mention giving somebody more money. 6000 dollars was plenty to get this project moving. after 6 years i dont believe that it would be right for me to fund more money for a project that has moved nowhere. If noone believes that my truck is there go ahead go to the shop. its the black typhoon with chamelion flames. i had it at the nationals in gurnee a few years back. anyone remember me??

Re: 6 years??

I have seen your truck. Last i saw it was getting a set of custom headers for it. Josh was doing the headers and he made my custom set as well. Quality work.

Are you a cop or a family member a chicago cop? If so, which district. If i remember correctly you have an FOP medallion or sticker on the rear.

i I have funded rr 6,000 dollars to be exact

Now this is one part that jumps out at me. $6,000 is alot of money don't get me wrong. But when building a motor and a customs set of headers and labor spent on all it will run out very quickly.

I am not speaking for them or for anyone but you need to pay to play. I am not saying give them more money. You do as you feel fit as each situation is different.

But if your getting a motor built you can not expect to sit back and have any shop fund the project and then collect at the end. That is just not how it works. Figure between pistons, heads, machine work and a custom set of headers you have to be somewhere between 3-4k on that alone. So that leaves 2k for misc parts AND labor? You can't expect someone to work for free. Have you supplied any of the parts?

Thats just my opinion though.

i dont believe that it would be right for me to fund more money for a project that has moved nowhere.

I have personally seen work being done on this truck so I do not feel that is a fair statement. What are you basing that on?

dunno where you clipped this from, but you're missing some of the other vendors/donors.

Tucker Auto Parts, Prime Gears, SoCalSyTy, syclone-typhoon.com, JSManuf, RenzFab.
The vendors not on this list were given the chance to donate/be a vendor and chose not to. And some of your beloved syty vendors aren't even supporters of this site, let alone nationals. Its a shame, but its also their right.

Not everyone complains aloud about their experieces. Herman is obviously frustrated, but also seems mannered enough to not start bashing the place that is storing his truck for him.

Re: 6 years??

It was copied and pasted from this website:

http://www.sytynationals.com/

That website appears to have been updated on at least August 24th. If that information is not correct then you guys should update it again so the proper people can get their recognition.

Edit:: I now see that if you click the sponsor info on the top you get a larger list than what is on the front page.

PS: I am sick as a dog as I have been for 3 weeks. I thank this thread for giving me something to do.

Re: 6 years??

...Herman.

I too have seen your Typhoon recently, and know from personal experience "work is being done on it".
You have the right, of course, to disagree with any course of action but "WHAT did you want to happen
by posting this thread?"

Were you seriously taking a "POLL" to see how long certain builds take?
Were you "VENT" that you didnt know the status of your truck?
Were you HOPING that the builder would suddenly complete your truck?
Were you ASKING for alternatives from syty members...like completing yourself, or sellling, or ???

I simply think that no honest good can come from a thread such as this, but you certainly have
the right to post. Just isnt my style....

Re: 6 years??

Okay, enough already.

Herman brought us a truck seriously screwed up by one of our competitors. (you know who you are) It had a multitude of missing and damaged Typhoon specific parts, and we had to document the entire truck for a potential fraud case. No forged crank, forged rods, or even correct pistons- that sort of thing.

Anyway, we couldn't even touch it for a long time while that was going on and I STILL don't know what happened there. (nothing, I guess)

Anyway, Herman asked for a very specific build, and a guaranteed level of performance we were happy to provide. We have been in routine contact, and he has been part of the process since day one. He's a bit off in the timeframe, but it has been a long time, admittedly. He has had many options to alter the build specs in order to speed up the process but has opted at least until lately to stick to the original build. No big conspiracy here, or evil glee in keeping him from his truck- heck I'd like to see it finished and get paid, especially seeing how his deposit hasn't even covered his PARTS yet.

So, I really think nothing else usefull can come of this thread- Can we please lock it?

Oh, BTW juggalo or whatever... last I knew your dad was going to finish your truck for you since he called pissed because you were using his car for your Pizza delivery job. What happened? First I've heard of you having a problem.

You have had some guy's truck for 6 FREAKING years?



Nice.

I don't know what else to say.

It is quite nice storing it actually considering it cost Guy $80/mo to store the truck until recently when they moved into a new bigger building.

thats not the customers fault. If its costing a shop $ to store something, why would they hold onto it, or not charge for storage?

Neighbor please.


I didn't build my house either,so I guess I'm not a homeowner?

Listen up buddy,I drive my shit,I beat on it,I let other ppl beat on it,I been everywhere man,I helped Guy move the no engine Sy at 01 Nats,I shaked Larry's (NOJIMMY's)hand in MI this year.

So yeah I guess I don't know shit.

Yeah 85k miles no probs never had the valve covers off I wish I was you. :roll: :roll:



I did not utter 1 derogatory thing.

Just stated the facts.
Dude's truck is at RR,it has been 6 years,and that is gay.


Come to Nats.I promise we won't disconnect your FP relay.

Re: 6 years??

You must not be familiar with the setup of the old shop. It was VERY small. There was room to store 3 truck max inside the shop. One being all the way in, one being on a lift, and the 3rd being under the lift. Most of the times I was there this truck in question was actually inside the shop meaning it was being worked on. The rest of the trucks and parts were kept in storage units which the shop shared grounds with.

Now they have a bigger shop and are able to and do keep 15-20 trucks inside of.

 

[MikeRenz]

Re: 6 years??

i know nothing about RR. never seen pics, just saw their big ass trailer at chitown nats.

Ok, so if you take on a project, w/ a 3 car shop....and its not going to be worked on for a while (searching for parts, waiting for legal fight for previous motor, etc) why would you hold onto the truck and/or pay $80/month for storage?

If it was indoor most of the time, why's he saying that it wasn't worked on for a long time - or are you just referring to more recently? I'm just trying to comprehend the situation. I'm a pro when it comes to taking way longer than it should to get something done too. :lol:

Re: 6 years??

I am speaking about at least the last year or two. That is why I asked in a previous post about that same comment. Wasn't sure where that was coming from.

I have personally seen work being done on this truck so I do not feel that is a fair statement. What are you basing that on?

Re: 6 years??

Whats the big deal , 10 of the first 38 posts here are yours anyway . Hes not even talking shit . Your defensiveness about rr has gotten this thread to where it is . Hell , 1 bolt removed or replaced a day would still finish a motor in 1-2 yrs tops . Whats the secret that isnt being shared parts wise ??
