Me, too. That's one of the main reasons why I love this line of work.

Maybe their **** always worked so they started to slack a bit in the QA dept. I see it in my line of work.

 

Howard, you hit some very valid issues about the stock FD3S twin turbo manifold, RIGHT ON THE HEAD.



Add o-ring killer to it's list of "virtues" as well.

 

O-Ring problems are soon to be a thing of the past!!!

 

Has anyone ever wondered why Rob chose the name Pineapple Racing for his shop, knowing that the common nickname for an old style GRENADE is PINEAPPLE?



Hmmmmmm

Is there truth in advertising?

 

In examining the photos from the previous thread on this topic, I was appalled at the absolutely shoddy workmanship on these high $$ motors. I've never ported a rotary, but I have tons of experience with two-stroke roadracing motorcycle engines, and some of the stuff I've seen in these engines is--as has been mentioned-- an absolute joke. I simply cannot believe any shop owner whose customers are spending at least $4K at a crack would even let that out of his shop. No beveling of port edges? No chamfering of oil holes? Mismatched ports? Absolutely unbelievable.



But what makes matters worse is the complete lack of customer service. That in itself would be cause for major flaming, and again, I cannot believe that someone who knows anything about small business would blow people off like this, for fear of the negative backlash would inevitably occur.

 

those pics are an extreme disappointment and worthy of a lawsuit against that company.



a year and a half ago everyone was ranting about pineapple and their warrantee....they could have held their position but instead they do crap like this and thus i will never...ever...ever...buy anything from them.

question is, how long has pineapple been doing motors period...with the 5yr warranty routine



if they've only been doing it since early 2001, which is the earliest i can find....yeah

 

He use to live in Hawaii.

 

This kinda sucks and is great. Pineapple is a local shop, so its makes a lot sense to get a motor there, but damn that is quite a few shitty motors from there. I had Rob rebuild my transmission, and have dealt with him personally quite a few times. And he seems to be a good business person, in person, but you guys, trout, 93blackFD, and banzai seem to have got screwed.

Thank God I rebuilt my own engine, just don't know what I am going to do when I build the go-fast motor.
