Hey ally I've tweaked a few cars in my days also. Got into radio control cars and raced them for a long time. Even raced yard tractors for a while. Man that's fun.

First of all I gotta say Jim is awesome to deal with.
I already did a lot of research on the trike i wanted when I called him. We talked about it for a while and he said he would call back to let me know if what I wanted was in stock. got that call about 10 minutes later. That was fast. He took my payment info. Took a couple days to process. Then he contacted me to let me know the trike had shipped. A couple of days later he contacted me again to find out if I received the trike yet. Told him it was at local delivery company. The guy from the delivery company called to set up a delivery time. He wanted to deliver it in his pickup lol. Jim sent me an e-mail saying he shipped M.C.O. and I got it in a couple of days. Now most online business once they get your money the forget all about you. NOT Jim. He followed through everything even checking to make sure everything was ok. When I got the trike did a complete pdi
When I got done it didn't want to idle right. Called Jim and he was more than helpful. He is great to do business with honest and helpful. Next spring when I purchase a magnum I will purchase it from him. Wish there were more dealers like him.

Keep in mind this is based on gearing, not power. You won't actually pick up top end. (unless you're going down hill ;D) [/quote]
Have to disagree. If your engine is turning 6500 rpm at 45 mph and you put a taller gear in you will gain more speed at same engine rpm.

They recommend putting negative to frame as sparks at battery could cause it to explode. Had this happen to me on a car. Now I always attach negative to ground well away from battery.

Problem is after I got my locksmith certification nobody wanted to hire me due to lack of experience. So to get experience decided to start my own business. Its a big investment though. Need to buy a vehicle and any tools I may need for a variety of different jobs. Its unprofessional to show up on a job and not have the right tools.

Sorry to hear your situation. I am an envelope machine mechanic by trade for 26 years. A few years ago business went down hill with economy. The company I work for started laying off. I felt my job was in jeopardy as my hours were cut. So I followed my passion and became a locksmith. and am starting my own business.
