80LS1T Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Well I think I drove my car for the last time this year today. The weather is still fine and it usually is for till about early november but I have a few problems that I really need to fix before I continue driving it. I have to get some headers for it because the exhaust leak on the passenger side is just plain embarassing! It is also missing on atleast 1 cylinder but this is only sometimes. This could be due to that header I have on the passenger side. It gets really hot and it has already melted 2 of my wires. I also think I need to get it on a dyno with a A/F ratio meter because it sure is running rich! I might need new o2's though because of when I didnt have my IAC motor hooked up right and it always ran at like 1200rpms at the stop signs Basically I think Im not going to drive it until its completly done...all my body work, paint, new tires, headers, new seats, and some tint! Now I just need to start making some money so that I can buy all the stuff I need! I wish I could continue driving it but it just isnt as much fun as it should be. The paint is horrible, its running like crap and that friggin exhaust leak has really gotten the best of me. I just need to take some time off from the car and start saving up $$$ so that I can buy the parts this winter. Hopefully I will still have my car done before Tim though , J/K Tim!

Tim240z Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Everyone will have their Z done before Tim Mark Ouch! Hey, at least I'm not as bad as Pete! I've only been at it for 4 years, so I'm 10 years ahead! BTW,,,all my jams are painted, underside of hood and hatch and inside of doors are all painted. The outside of the car will be painted in 2 weeks (my neighbor is doing the Encinada to Rosarita (50mile) bike ride on the 26th and 27th Sept, so it has to be the weekend after that (he works at a Bodyshop and is a Certified Body repair technician). So far, except for the sanding, filler and primer supplies, the paint work will be free!! I should be complete with the car in 2 months!
