 |
|
I have finally made time to work on my car and it's 99% up and running. I have to do all the fine details to make everything pretty. I actually took it out today for a spin and WOW! I forgot how fast this car is...I think it's a bit faster with the cat's gutted, I really do! I hope I can make the dyno in 2008. I was wishfully thinking of trying to make the halloween dyno, but my wife and I are going up to seattle to look at stuff for our new house. Can't wait to dyno the Z! Who knows, maybe I'll actually make a gathering  |

| What ended up being the problem, just the valves? Nice job getting it going though. Must have been some good karma today since I got mine started this afternoon. |

Glad to hear you got it running Craig!! I always loved your car, I remeber the pictures from when you went racing at the 1/8th mile with Jess. (see you have made a gathering!)

My wife and I are looking @ granite counter tops for our new home that day:( It's kind of hard for me to make gatherings due to my job which requires X hours of C.E., wife and kids, plus my other hobbies ( internet porn  JUST KIDDING). I will do my best to make the dyno in 2008. |

yep, rich rich rich! I had 2 fuel injectors that were leaking when I had them in the fuel rail. They were not leaking too much, maybe a drip per 45 seconds. Then again, I do run my car rich due to the supercharger and FMU. I had a vette that had a plugged cat, but it would ilde. My Z was running fine, then it would not idle for more than 20 seconds!
By the way, I LOVE THAT AVATAR Schultzy has! Funny! |
