trqjnky Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) 4 weeks ago, i sent my cylinder and piston off to ALBA racing to have it ported and polished along with having them fit the new piston and ring. they said turnaround time would be 2 weeks. ya, right. 4 weeks later, i still dont have it!!!!! turns out they ordered the wrong piston, now its delayed even further!!!! hopefully ill have it by this week so i can make it to dumont next weekend for the last weekend of the year at dumont. if they were within driving distance, id be on my way and in a very unhappy mood. im never using them again! From now on, eric gorr gets all my work. Edited April 18, 2006 by Don29palms Quote
EY3BA11 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Why did you send it to alba for motor work... yuck... thats just as bad as sending your banshee to trinity... Eric Gorr would have been a good choice.. Or Kenz Cycle Tech in Pheonix.. Quote

SO I HAVE NO PROBLEMS i get a lot of my stuff from there, cause atv cycle sport is close to my work (i work for a nascar truck team in the speedway complex). plus it good customer service, they hook you up with a little discount if youre a regular and buy a lot of stuff like me. and the chick that does the cashier duties is a hotty.lol and fords are :shocked2: Quote
trqjnky Posted April 29, 2006 Author Posted April 29, 2006 finally got my parts back today, they did excelent work, just took way too dam long. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 i heard thier parts counter is a cluster fk and i wouldnt even want to order parts from them.. thier AT cost prices were the same if not more than some regular prices for other dealers... i gave up on that place a LOOONGGG time ago Quote
