We sure might have a lot of fun at the PRI show maybe Kevin Winstead and Mike Senia can light each other on fire.

Gotta ask...

How in the hell did you crack the hub? Drop it

I had a Catastrophic flexplate failure and it didn't have half the "damage" done to the converter shown!

Put the hammer away!

So much for being the bigger man...

I'm sure this line of verbal "thrust and perry" will sway potential convertor buyers...

... to buy Vigilantes!

That's funny stuff! I've had several emails asking me to show the inside of the Yank converters. I don't have a beef with Mike.

John B, Actually, it looks like it was cracked from day one.

SS00Blue,


Kevin

So we've seen the problems with TCI, TCS, and now Yank. Time for someone to go back through a Vigilante.

Ever seen an UN-HAPPY Vig owner????? You have now!

I have been considering finding myself a stock converter for a replacement!

I might not out run a vig car in the 1/4 with a stock converter but I could eat his *** on the top side.

Kevin I give you props for making this thread. PSJ, colonel, etc... if your part of a company and another company makes a web page directly attacking your product, I think you would feel differently. I think TCI has every right to return the favor. I understand yank probaly wanted to sway some potential buyers, but it was most likely uncalled for. I didn't hear any of you say anything when Yank made that page?

I don't think you heard me say ANYTHING negative about Kevin posting this thread, did you? I don't blame Kevin for posting this. Turn around's fair play in my book.

Nineball's, PSJ's, and my comments were only humorous. None of us said anything agains Kevin or TCI. I said, "pass the popcorn"...haha. That means, "Look out now, there's gonna be a fight!"

So...quitcha bitchin'! (That was just more humor, btw.)

I love the drama. There is so much aroud that it makes me leary and uninspired to continue racing. I am relatively new to this 3 years or so, but this kinda crap is very annoying. I am all for what TCI did, I think it was/is in bad taste to post this tuff on someones website.

I am glad Kevin posted some pictures, after Kristi and I had our yank problems and all the told us it was this and that but not the converter. We had the converter repaired and I wish so many times I would have had pictures of the mess because not long after we had it repaired the whole TCI "exposed" came out, wish I would have had the pictures to show of the junk we ended up with from yank.
