911t's comments
 

In response to 911t' masters comments, I feel I must clear my name and reputation. Firstly, I have been building my own race engines and racing my vintage porsche for over 5 years. Some of you probably know the car (a white 911R replica #111). It has been photographed extensively and appears on the VARA website frequently. My car is on exhibition yearly at the PCA concourse. To date I have never had an engine failure and this includes over 100's of hours of racing. In VARA I am in a tight points race with 2 other drivers, one being vintage 911racer. Regarding 911TMasters engine, when the engine is removed and torn down, if at that time it is determined that I made an error it will be remdied at my expense. I find it both insulting and inappropirate that this forum was used for issues that are of a personal nature. I must make it clear that this engine was built by me in my home and that Haus of Performance was not involved in any way. I never expressed that I would not take blame or that I would not repair the problem, that would be a lack of integrity. Thank you, Mark Minkoff

Mark, Justin:

My suggestion is that you guys take this off-line and work it out. This sort of family squabble really doesn't have a place on this board.

Alternatively, maybe one of the moderators should just delete the entire thread.

My $.02.

Well as we have all heard before. There are always 2 sides (or more) to every story.
And the moral is: It is not a good idea to air dirty laundry on a public forum.

Hopefully there will be a happy ending to this story.

You the man Mark.

2 more races to go and we will have a winner. Who will it be?

YOU, ME, BRIAN. take your pick.

After Willow don't forget we arer tearing down my motor and re-building it. Maybe 2.5 short stroke?????

Well I sure as hell hope I don't have a fire in the hallway because in my bedroom a) i have flyscreens covering the windows, b) the windows are wind-out (i.e. a person cannot get through them) and c) it's a 3rd storey bedroom.

This has to be related to the MySQL problem Wayne asked about - there are two, maybe three threads showing up here...

oh sure Don...blame the technology as opposed to the operator. ;)

I would definitely upgrade to RaceWare or ARP head studs and rod bolts, after having 2 head studs break on my 3.6L.

b) the windows are wind-out (i.e. a person cannot get through them).

Usually in the United States private residence building codes do not allow rooms with these type of windows to be used as bedrooms. One of the windows in a bedroom always has to open wide enough to allow a person to exit through it. Many home remodelers get caught on this one when they attempt to convert a room designed for another purpose into a bedroom. Cheers, Jim

Justin? Hear that sucking sound? It might be your potential inheritance of a 911R replica going away...:eek:

Is someone suggesting he should epoxy the wayward studs in place?

Butchery!

So, who are you pulling for?:
1) Boston
2) Yanks
3) Cubs
4) Florida

LOL

OMG, I'm getting dizzy here! I have no experience on the head studs. I agree family issues should be kept off line. My heart goes out to those families, and I am glad I am out of the street racing phase of my life. I don't know how the floor epoxy thing got in there.

And finally, lets go CUBS!!!!

Did I miss anything?

Haha well in Australia the people writing the residential building codes seem to have a "no worries she'll be right mate" attitude.

What's the rule on flyscreens and steel security bars in the States? They also prevent someone getting through the window.

Well in the spirit of maintaining the schizophrenia:

Hot Damn!!! Hockey Season starts tonight.

Might as well talk hockey! :D Anahiem's getting killed by Dallas. Yes!

Not true! You can put some serious fire out with a 2.5 or 5 lb. dry chemical extinguisher. Second, dry chem extinguishers are made for combustible and flammable liquid fires ( i.e. grease, fuel, oil), as well as other material. Now Halon or CO2 could be fruitless on that type of fire.

Once again I will state that it is important to know how to use that extinguisher you carry.

I'm now stepping off my soap box.:)

And yes, this thread is farked up! ( Thanks Bill Douglas for the new word!)

"Farked up" is right!
This has to be the Bizarro thread of '03!!
