Phantom Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 The LS1 fired off for the first time about 6:30 tonight. More work tonight. Car goes to muffler shop tomorrow. Unless there is a surprise it should be on the street tomorrow night. Still pins and needles time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 Got an email this morning from John. "It runs, it moves. Clutch not happy. Will try to bleed after muffler shop." It's this close. I'll be calling him around noon today to ensure I can get it tonight. If not, it will probably be Monday - bummer. This is a real roller-coaster at this point.

Phantom Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 Zack is not going to be ready this weekend. He could have been but it would have been at the expense of a bunch of little things. I decided I'd rather have the car with all systems fully functional rather than having several of them not working yet just to get it ready for this weekend. I'm severely disappointed but it's the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 11, 2003 Author Share Posted May 11, 2003 Well - just to add insult to disappointment. As it turns out I would have taken first place in my class had I had my car there to enter it in the Chariots of Light Car Show this weekend. Then, on top of that, I would have had an opportunity to run with a pack of Vipers on the TMS track. I am severely depressed now. 10 months into the car conversion and it's still not done.
