Phantom Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Made a trip to Johns Cars tonight. It was good I went today as he's across the street from Fair Park in Dallas and the Texas State Fair starts tomorrow. Anyway - the purpose of the trip was to eyeball another LS1 280Z - a pretty midnight blue one owned by Skelly - see his photo album. John Radevich's guys were putting the finishing touches on the AC compressor installation and had worked out bugs in the tach and the speedometer drive. I saw John while I was there and spent some time walking around my car with him showing off the new interior and the exhaust modification. The guy has an unbelievable eye for detail. We briefly discussed my pinhole leak in the radiator and then got into some rubbing hose issues, a missing AC compressor mounting bolt, and a leaking AC fitting - not to mention him noticing where I'd put a minor ding by the drivers side tailight when I backed into my suburban in the driveway. He would notice that:redface: ! Anyway - he suddenly disappeared and then reappeared with a handful of wrenches along with a bolt and lockwasher. 10 minutes later the missing bolt was replaced and the AC fitting was snugged up. What a guy! For those who have been asking - he does have a set of headers in stock and ready to go. www.brokenkitty.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert dog Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I would love to be close enough to be able to drive over and talk to John. I am so looking forward to this project, and I learn more about it every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent him my tach so he could fix it and he is going to test it on that cars' signal from the ECU. The Post Office was supposed to have it to him by yesterday but he won't get it til today. I hope to have a working factory tach soon. I wish I was close enough to drive there too. I would love to meet him in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevej Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 If anyone was interested I have a set of his headers I'm looking to sell. They took a little longer to get than they initially thought and I of course had paid for them. I ended up ordering the JTR ones to get the car moving.
