Chronic's '13 Build

[CJM]

Ah miss my 400ex, really liked how it turned out after all the work. Course the 450 is just that much better.

 

Sucks crankworks is yanking your chain man. 1 month turnaround time is crappy. betcha its just sitting there doing nothing.

[sandt38]

Im hoping they really pop, pretty excited to get it back again.. Kinda pissed at crankworks, I called them early last week and told them the situation and they said they'd try and have it ready to be shipped out on monday (I was going to next day it to get it here) and maybe have my entire engine back together in time. But they haven't contacted me so I'm assuming it's still just sitting there. 1 month turn around (+transit) seems a little exessive but I don't know how busy they are either..

Looks like I'll be going out to goon on a 400ex lol :gr_driving3:

 

One month turn around is not acceptable no matter how busy you are.

[chronicsmoke]

When called them on the 13th, they went and found the order told me it hasn't been touched. I told the guy I had the first race of the season on June 1st and he said they'd try and have it done by the end of the week or Monday latest. I've accepted the fact that it won't be ready and that I won't be a return customer.

 

Seems a lot of guys recommended them, I don't know if that's always their turn around time or if they are just slower than usual right now.. It seems everything for this build is being held up fuck, still haven't heard from my PC guy and it's been 2 weeks. Last year he had my parts done in less than 2 hours

[sandt38]

You're a sad individual. This is the 4th time you've made an attempt to post in my thread. What do you not understand?! Cat shit holds more value than your opinion, now please delete your own comment before a mod has to do it for the 4th time in an hour. Get a life or at least stop crushing on me.. jeeze

 

Hey now, there is no need to rag on cat shit.

[chronicsmoke]

Hey now, there is no need to rag on cat shit.

lol I deleted my comment to keep the drama down - but reposting after his comment got deleted 4 times in less than an hour seems a little pathetic to me, talk about trying too hard lol

 

AND this is the guy that preaches "ignore me" on the org and puts up a big front but then tries to relentlessly participate in my own thread and try and be friends.. how does that make sense? the more we ignore him the more he goes out of his way to stir the pot.

.

Long lonely nights with a swank magazine and ky jelly have this guy feeling desperate, and probably chaffed

[CJM]

^ yep.

 

Sucks crankworks is holding you up and your PC guy hasnt called you back yet. This build just dont wanna get finished for some reason.

[chronicsmoke]

^ yep.

Factor in that time I spent trying to get money back on a frame and the time I spent waiting for it too and it seems everything is going wrong.:nono:

[CJM]

Cheer up a bit, at least it will eventually be finished.

[chronicsmoke]

Haha yah and then it's back to chasing my buddy on a YFZ that runs alcohol :gr_burnout:

I just want to ride a properly suspended quad again lol, I'm still beat up after putting about 4 hours of track time on the EX last weekend :bored:

.

@ CJM: btw I got those wheel inserts, thanks again! I haven't gone accross to ship the bumper yet but I definitely will next week. I've got at least $1000 worth ov merch to import lol, it's been stacking up at my mailing adresses

[TP Racing]

Your build sounds exactly like how my build went.

 

By the time I was done I really just wanted to get rid of it. Went and hit a race and that put some motivation back in me.

 

Hopefully this thing gets done for you. Looking forward to it!

[CJM]

heheh you lie when you cross the border and they ask if you got anything, dont you?

[Baileyguns]

I always tell them I have 3 kilos of coke and a dead hooker in the trunk... I don't know why they don't think that's funny. lol

[chronicsmoke]

Haha I am ALWAYS straight up with those guys.. always clean my truck out lol. Not worth the hassle I import so much stuff that they know me know and I never get searched on the canadian side, they ask me how much money in parts I have and then I go and pay tax.

 

Crossing into NY scares me a bit, they are fucking anal and would give me a hard time for a few crumbs

One of my dad's friends said he was an 'arab' when they asked where he was from like 25 years ago.. he almost got cavity searched lmfao

[bvet4dog]

hahaha you two are funny!

[CJM]

too funny.

 

I once went to Niagara falls when I was like 12. My parents called whomever and were told a county ID card would suffice for us kids. Well we had no issues till we crossed back into the canuck side from ny side. Girl at customs literally had a shit fit over some stupid county ID cards. I mean really my brother was 9 and I was 12 and we were with our parents. Pricks..

[Baileyguns]

I made a wrong turn in Niagara Falls one day... Ended up at the Canadian check point by accident. Tried explain to the bitch in the booth that we made a wrong turn at the light and all we wanted to do was turn around and go to the US side of the falls and have a look.. She handed me my military id and license back and I swear to this day she said "go"... All I did was let my foot of the brake and she came un-fucking-glued! Screaming at me that that's not what she said and sent me to the customs building to be searched... 2 hours in the agricultural building filling out paper work about fucking vegetables and livestock because I had my dog with me explaining to everyone I talked to that we made a wrong turn and just wanted to go back. When we made it back to the truck the 2 boarder patrol guys that were searching my shit were like.. "Why didn't you just say you made a mistake?".... All they did was open a gate at the other side of the parking lot and let me back over.... Then I had to explain to the US boarder what we were doing, how long we were in Canada, what out business was, bla bla bla... I explain it to him what happened and he just shakes his head and points to the parking lot for the falls..

 

Fuck Canadian woman boarder booth bitches... Never again.

[Baileyguns]

The only other time I crossed to Canada, I was promised naked woman with double enders and cheap beer on Saint Catherine's st.... I just sat in the back seat and didn't say a word as we crossed, lol.

 

The rest of that adventure would be material enough for another thread.... That was an interesting couple of days to say the least.

[CJM]

lol^

 

When I went we originally were gonna stay on the US side, its a dump compared to the Canadian side.

[Baileyguns]

Oh ya.... The first thing I thought when we pulled into town was "there's no way superman would have came here, lol

 

Ghhhhhheto..

[CJM]

yep, ghetto extreme.

 

go go gadget thread drift!

[chronicsmoke]

haha yah Buffalo is kinda a shithole, that's where that buddy that jerked me around on that frame was from too.

 

Ed sounds like you had a good night in Montreal.. I have those every so ofter, I'm less than an hour from there haha.

 

I find the US border patrol guys far worse, i don't fuck around over there at all not worth the hassel

[chronicsmoke]

Well I have almost everything in now, (except for the crank and piston that was supposed to be done like 2 weeks ago.. Thanks crankworks, I'll think of you guys when I'm racing a 400ex this weekend.)

I'll start posting pics soon, probably after the weekend though.

Right now I'm setting up the 400 with a lot of the 450r parts (complete rear is on there now - houser swinger/elka shock&link/Rad 450r carrier/ Gforce axle) I'm currious to see how this handles on the 400ex compared what it's built for. I had to notch the bottom mount on the frame for the link to fit. should work good with those TCS shocks I got from Mr. BGunns

Damn rigth, US Border Patrol, putting panic in hispanic.... oooohraaaa!

 

Love those guys, they never give us any shit when we go in convoys, they salute us when we pass , love them..

 

 

 

Hey hope u get ur stuff in time.. me just waiting on the crank case splitter and the oil pump. My oil cooler was cleaned and its on the way here...

[chronicsmoke]

I'll have some progress hoefully tonight.. Been slacking with this thread the last little while.

 

I have my new frame back from PC so I'll start adding a-arms and shocks tonight. I'm going to leave the houser swinger/elka setup on the 400ex until I get my crank back from Crankworks.. (5 weeks and counting that they've had it in their shop, btw.... :soapbox:)
