  1. Word!! I bitch when paying 2.40 for the truck, but when pumpin 110 @ $4 a gallon, all i can think of is how sweet its gonna smell and how much ass i will be hauling
  2. Dont have any close up of them yet Elka's with remotes
  3. AS the title states i recently purchased a set of +2+1 arms, and a +2 swingarm from Gary at quick sand. I am more than pleased with them... so here goes. The research - I knew what i needed, and didnt have a lot of cash to spend. Thats where all the people here came in handy. I got several recomendations for this company. Ordering - Gary is an outstanding guy to do buisness with. I didnt have the cash for both at the time, my plan was to order a arms, then 2 weeks later call again and order the swingarm. That didnt happen. Towards the end of our conversation i had told Gary that i would be calling him back to order a swingarm in a week or two. He said that wasnt nessesary, he charged me for the a arms, and said he would go ahead and build the swingarm, and I could call him when i was ready to pay for it. It takes a noble, and trustworthy person to do that, becasue he had never meet or talked to me before, therfore not knowing if i was an honest individual or not, and i could have very easily screwed him on that deal. For this, Sir I toast to you The wait - Gary told me 4-6 weeks. Seeing that he builds these by hand per order i think that is a reasonable time. I tell ya, that was a long 4-6 weeks, seemed like 6 months. It ended up taking 7... not bad. The good guy he is - I had called him on a Friday and requested that he 3 day air them on monday since i had a ride I had commited to the following weekend. Well... he didnt get them 3 dayed on monday, however On Wednesday he overnighted them on his own dime to ensure that i didnt have to cancel my reservations, and that i would make the ride. Instalation / finished goods - The work looked great. The welds on his parts were excelent, the Black powdercaot finish looked equally as good. The fitment of the A arms was great,it was a bit of a tight fit to get the uppers in, just needed a little elbow grease. May have been a lot easier if i had a 2nd hand in the shop. The swingarm just looks strong, only problem i had with it was where the dog bone mounts to it. I had to use a couple of large washers on the outside of the mountung tabs. There was about 1/8"-3/16" gap that needed to be fiilled. The I.D was right on, but when i put the bolt through it was a bit long. The washers fixed that right up. Final outcome - They fit well, ride even better, not to mention all the compliments i get on them, especially the swingarm. I would certainly do buisness with him again, and would reccomend it to others
  4. Ive got an agressive dune port. With the 19 cc domes is still has its fair share of low end. Maybe not as much as a low end port would, but I can still lug it around easily enough. Just a small slip of the clutch and your
  5. I have got an 01 silverado 1500 ext cab. Never figured out the mileage for everyday driving, but i was gettin 16mpg on the way to Oklahoma with my trailer on the back
  6. Call Jim at passion racing engines. I talked with him several times before i sent the motor out, and several times when he had it. He had no problem picking up the phone for 10-15 minutes to awnser any dumb questions i had. I didnt really know what kind of work i wanted done, and with talking to him he helped me come to the best decision for my type of riding. Jim was also one of the few that would take time to talk to me,and discuss things in detail before i had actually commited to him. MOst of the others would talk, but you could tell it was like i was a pain in the ass and wasting their time untill they had my money. you can also reach him here on the board....

  11. I talked to him tonight. He said he has been extremly busy with the aerospace industry, working 12+ hour days. Keep tryin. I kinda feel bad now, becasue i kept calling him needing my parts, and come to find out he's already neck deep in work .
  12. You can usually do it yourself for about $200 50-75 to bore the jugs 130-150 piston kit cancel that shit, and bring it home.... the guys here can walk you through it. after you get the jugs bored out, it will only take a few hours to pull the top end off, replace the parts, and put it back together
  13. Captain Morgan's spiced rum

  20. I called ELKA and talked to someone... He said that it doesnt require anything in there. That doesnt sound right to me though?
