Guest Cronic Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 But Im back. The Z is still down though it's depressing. I really want it back up, but with working and not having **** for money, it's not happening... So here's the dilema. - After getting the engine back from the shop from their 3rd fuckup and the 4th time reinstalling the engine, there's a leak around the water pump. Aparently water was leaking into the oil pan, and shooting out of the pump itself. One of the bolts aparently broke off in the front cover. So I had it heli coiled and Im trying to find all the proper bolts, and a new water pump. The t4 is just sitting there going to waste as I search and scrounge for the parts and money. I may never see 400whp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may never see 400whp [/quote'] slow and steady wins the war... if you rush you'll just cook a fresh engine... take a deep breath and suck it up! i've been down a year so far and i've managed to completely overhaul every major thing on my Z (brakes, steering, bushings, engine rebuilt and built up, exhaust, interior, standalone EMS, fuel system), i've been busting my *** to make a christmastime deadline... but i still won't allow myself to cut corners. our other car has been in the build for nearly 2 & 1/2 years... grand national, new built motor, cage, suspension, fmic setup, TSA class turbo, built transmission/stall, etc... just think how much you'll enjoy that 1st ride when it all clicks and works...

Guest Comrad Grrr Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 yeah a restoration requires time and love, and money. don't forget you need a ton of money. I agree with ^^^ I won't cut corners either. Only the best for my baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
