What will you guys do with yota's now :?:

Might be time to finish making the dana conversion that certain people said wasn't worth it. :finger:

How did the core modified CV stand up.

Does anyone know what bobby did to them exactly.

maybe they can be replicated here.

im gunna buy a couple of sets, and have the last few in captivity thats what the yota boys will do.

he is selling them too cheap.

sad to see him go, it is a GREAT product and I feel bad that I broke it but hey......

I was happy with his service (EXCELLENT)
his product is second to none
his price is good!

:cry:

Ok lets org a gourp buy for us AU boys aswell
Im keen to get like 2 or 3 maybee
Lets get a some show of hands and we can share the shipping costs

Post by **spazbot** » Tue May 13, 2003 9:17 am

With the current exchange rate, longs are worth $285aud each
Factor in thier weight and the costs of shipping i recon we could get them here for about $300 each if we buy a heap of them.

If somone knows better please let me know!

Post by **bj on roids** » Tue May 13, 2003 1:22 pm

$100 US to ship two of them.

"As of 5-16-03 we have decided to stop selling longfields! It started out as a hobby to help people and now has become too much for my wife and I. It's getting to be a bigger problem than we can deal with as you can see. we are not interested in selling the business. All of those who have sent in theirs as of 5-16 will be taken care of. Thank you! Bobby Long..."

NNNOOOOOOOOO

Well BJ, Swartzy sent him a IFS CV/axle to have the cages strengthened. He told him "I know exactly what you need, it will cost $85".
A week later he got it back with a note saying "sorry but I just couldn't work out how to pull it apart" :shock:

Well this is a real shame!!!!

Looks like its back to the old Drawing board!!!

You would only hope that if Bobby no longer wants to do them that he would be good enough to sell the process to someone that is keen for a Killer business!!!

core = custom offroad engineering

brett grindrod is a qld local making cvs in a similar process

i can't say if they are as strong as the longfields but they are cheaper (well for aussies anyway)

Post by **bj on roids** » Wed May 14, 2003 8:54 am

so $800 a pair landed, let me know by tomorrow morning the 15th may 2003, and i may be able to organise it.
