2001 Eclipse GT Spyder - killed, and an RX7 too
Just say something like "I'll call this shop and try to find out what I can"
I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you, item for item, where your money is going.
You havent even offered to get any info. There are plenty of other Max owners that would love some nice con rods or valve springs, please share the wealth.

If your shop has a line on these kind of parts, find out what it is and help out the rest of the community.
You still havent offered to find out any of the info I asked for. You've just steadfastly refused to get specific. A single response like, "I'll see what I can find out"...instead of, "I dont know or care to know what these people will be doing to my car" , would get you a little closer to credibility.

If he didnt show it, how would we know he has a nearly stock auto max that can run a 14.8. No one would believe him if he didnt include that every time.

mzmtg - its good to see that you are finaly spending time reading the sig you so dearly love. Thanks for the info on the misspellings. Oh, and what is the difference between shocks and struts anyways? I've always wondered.
Bill - Tirerack.com said that once again they are being delayed. Im glad that you are amused, that is the true purpose of my sig.
Medic - Thanks for making the print larger, I was having trouble reading it too.
Keep the flames comming. I take it as a compliment that I can have 3 people(including a moderator) flaming me at the same time for telling the truth and simply having a long sig.

I hope that's clear.
Furthermore, I didn't flame. You haven't had the privilege of a true flame nor will you.
You havent told any truth yet.
"I ordered new con rods for my max"
"what kind? from where?"
"I dont care where they come from, but I got em"
"you dont care?"
"no, and stop asking me, I wont tell you, just accept it"
This is not how you tell the truth. This is how you make it look like you are lying through your teeth.

Paint Shop Pro 7, from Jasc, Inc. www.jasc.com HIGHLY recommended. The photo touch up features alone make it worth it. BTW, it comes bundled with Animation Shop 3, allowing you to make animated GIFs.

Seriously though, I've read all the posts and don't really understand why you are being so hard on a fellow MAXer.
I think what he's saying is -- he isn't necessarily a walking bible of part numbers, and he doesn't know for sure what will work in the end.
He's just looking to create the fastest possible ride, so he's letting some tekkies, and his cousin (let's call him Vinnie) handle the specifics.
In the middle of it all, he's got everyone screaming NO WAY at him. In humiliating him, he is forced to save face by answering specifics he can't really answer. His only other choice is to walk away with his tail between his legs.
You guys may be absolutely right -- he may be dreaming big time. But who are we to kill other people's dreams?
Sincerely,

So, are you going to do the rest of the .org a favor and call the shop to find out where we can get these high performance parts too. Or even just tell us the name and number of the shop thats getting them for you, that would help us all out immensely.

What is the difference between a piston rod and a connecting rod?
Or do you not know, and dont care to know again?
There is only one rod associated with the piston...the connecting rod. So, if you ordered "piston rods" you were lying, there is no such thing.
And when you call the shop, remember to ask for manufacturers and part numbers. They will definitely know these, since they are the ones doing the ordering. I hope you are for real...
