Pineapple Racing

Just wondering. Does pineapple racing still work on cars? I called and they said they can't work on my car. I did not ask why. So does anyone one know if this is a permanent thing or will they be working on cars in the future.

I hit them up a while back about doing some work on my car, but they said they don't perform that service anymore. I think they just build motors now? I'm not 100% sure though.

Pineapple Racing has switched to just motors. They out-source any engine installs or just ship engines to people.

Like Guy/Dan said above, pineapple only does motors.

However you can have Forged performance across the street pull your engine, do any work to it, and reinstall it.

Oh john, your just special thats all. New shop is not big enough to store more than 3 cars. Rob has 2 of his own in there at any given time. Even getting a car on the lift can be a bitch. If you need motors or parts than Pineapple can help, you want something pulled or put back in, talk to Forged. Good Guys at forged.

Somethings are better left un-said between the two parties.

Seriously...wishing everyone the best. Jody has the car now. That chapter of my 7 career is over. I had the car for over 13 years and after endless thousands, and equal thousands of hours between myself and very gracious friends, it sits in a new home. It sucks. Really sucks, but Jody has no wife/kids/business, etc. If there's an issue down the road, his wife won't kick his ***** off for spending more hours pulling a motor till the wee hours of the night. Big props to Dan for being not only communicative, but patient. Thank you
