without reading through all the junk on that linked thread...did they discuss the chance it was simply bad lifter tick?

on a somewhat related subject....the guy who is giving away free tartar sauce in the alleyway behind avanti's on main is scamming too. A buddy of mine said you could have all you wanted, you just had to close your eyes and suck it from a hose but he found out later on it was a bad deal without telling me anymore details.

I read the thread at the link. A LOT of uneducated and undereducated posts there.

I haven't seen the car since the thread or been involved in the sale.

I HAVE seen it firsthand though in the past and can vouch for the car's typical condition. It is typically immaculate and anally maintained.

Regardless, it seems a bit of a harsh response to things when you only have half the facts from your research.

The member mentioned is pretty well known locally to be a straightforward guy and easy to work with.

haha excellent post on their site travis. rollout, good luck selling your car. it is still georgous.

Well, this is sort of shocking. I havent been on this site for quite some while because of my lack of time spent with my car currently as I am in college.

First things first, I'm not exactly sure which person you are in regards to holding interest in the car, simply because i recieve to many calls a week to remember everyone, but if I am correct, I believe your from michigan and have a high horsepower mustang? If so, I do remember you asking me what maintanence has been preformed on the car since I have owned it. In response to that question I answered a typical Timing belt change along with all the other belts and as of recently the alternator belt snapped and I had it replaced as well. This is the instance you are referring too. As it turns out the belt broke from a tensioner not tightening correctly and it was replaced as well. As far as the noise, I am led to believe that it was caused by tensioner wobbling, but I am still not sure exactly what it was. Needless to say, the instance when i took that movie was the only situation i have ever heard that noise. Even the next morning when i started the car up it did not make the noise. Now, I am particullarly blown away that you were unable to ask me about the situation privately, for i would have simply told you exactly what I have just stated. As far as the valaditiy of my testomony, all of the work done to fix the alternator belt was done by speed-source's Carl Crawford and Travis from KOU was also on the phone with me while I had the car running the next morning, and there certainly were no noises. I'm sure they can both acknowledge this. Since this situation, the car hasnt had any problems. I had let the situation blow over my mind as it was only a thrown belt and not a big deal in my mind. I'm sorry you feel I was trying to scam you in any way, that was in no way my intent, I would like the car to be passed down to someone who will take care of it, in order for that to happen they must know the extent of the car completely. Personally I take total offense to the way you have gone about handling this situation and have no problem with losign your interest in the car, although you did seem to be one of the few that knew what they were talking about. As far as the whole mustang forum thing, I hope you take care of this situation on your own for I feel I have done nothing wrong. I regret the miscommunication and I'm sorry for the harsh attitude's??? I hope you feel it worth your time to work things out in the future, for I am not in this world to make enemies.

Thank you Travis and Spy for your support, I wish I had the time to enjoy the board more often.

I AM NOT that person.

I am simply a messenger.

Good luck selling your car.

I'm deleting the links to the Mustang forum and locking this thread. It sounds to me like this whole situation has been completely misconstrued and blown way out of proportion on the mustang forum. Please do not repost the link.
