Anyone know about this L-F150?
 
Went to Showzone to chill for a bit last week.


White Lighting, guy is a contractor but stays here iirc. He said it was painted so unsure of the OG color.


Said it had 8500 miles on it.....or something near there.....fully built, hella nice sounding exhaust, Whipple etc.....


Anyone seen/herd of it? Was hella clean too....nice guy to talk with.

Young skinny fella? I forgot his name but a few of us met him at the last dyno day.

I think he is a new guy on LR.

Is this the one with trickflow cams?

White is to Lightning as Black is to TBSS?

Really dam nice truck. I guess for it having such low miles it was having some sorta issue.


Sounded fantastic.

Seriously, if a shop continuously has bad product coming out I can understand hating on them. However, in this case, Showzone like many other local mom&pop shops, have a continuous loyalty of customers sticking with that same shop. I being one of them.

And bashing a local shop when MonteC has a local shop iirc? What a dick move to talk trash about a shop you and, I would say 80% of members here have never stepped in, or been near. Such great character.

And yet you, nor anyone here ever calls them out on any of their cars to run on the track/street/whatever. Oh wait, it was actually reverse, Collin called out Paul Wall, he didn't come correct with the money.....even willing to race his 1k gsxr vs Collin's R34 stock skyline.

If I went to another shop before ever going to showzone to get my cars worked on, I would still have the same POV. You show your true colors when you cannot appreciate another persons work that you've never tested or seen.

You know nothing of what I have seen or tested. Tell you what. Since your so popular with the import crowd (the only ones who will tolerate your useless banter) tell them there is a silver four eyed freak that will play the gap band on any damn one of them this Saturday night. As far as shop loyalty goes I have none cause I do all my own work. One of the main reasons I got rid of the TBSS is I couldnt stand being at somebody elses mercy to tune my shit and tell me whats going on with the vehicle.

Jesus fawking crimony... MAybe what MonteC meant was we have a BADASS lightning crew right here on this board... and IF your not a total douche the guy sells his service for beer... can't beat that for a labor rate... And btw they have some of the fastest truck to prove it...

Two points I will make:


1) I am not your middle man bitch to set up any race. You wanna talk shit about someones car/ethic/quality, call them out yourself, and be a man about it. I am not the mayor of importtownusa, Showzone is a all in one car shop....its Showzone MotorSports, not Showzone Imports-only-dawg.

2) You taught yourself or you were taught how to work on cars.........so teach yourself how to tune, teach yourself how to work on the tbss. You think Randy did reverse osmosis on the tuning/building Lighting bible one night and hes now considered an end-all be-all go to guy for Lightings.
Shittiest reason I have ever herd for someone to get rid of a car.....I don't wanna be at someones mercy......fucking cry baby shit right there.
