in one year and two weeks time.. it has never NOT been just a one day thing here and there.
Id get into far more details, but i doubt it will help me get a car back, and im currently involved legally in an active state now, so I have to just bite my tongue, but yeah....
it puts my heart rate thru the roof on a daily basis... and is the portion of my daily prayer where i ask for strength to look past this and to live my day with a smile and not think of myself and this stupid car.

I just still dont understand.....how can those involved make this somehow ok in their day...and justify whats happened to me in thier minds.. i just dont understand it at all.

It actually Hurts to have my trust broken so badly.. and to have literally everything i had wrapped up in this, leaving me with nothing left really.
Big lesson to have learned. I knew FI was always a pain, but I dont think anyones had a story like mine so far. It just aint the time to tell it in detail yet unfortunately. Its alot to have to keep inside tho, for sure.

 

It's not the car, but the turn around time sucks. In addition, it's only going to be more of a pain when something breaks. Hopefully not because of the time it took to get up to this point. You should expect everything to be perfect. As I said before, the time it took is RIDICULOUS. Hang in there. We hope you get your car out soon before August. Most of the other shops would have got this job done in two weeks time considering they ordered the parts asap before the actual tear down. Cmon, GTM, Jotech, Forged, Dynosty, Z1 Motorsports just to name of a few would have made your build less of a pain and you would actually be driving 1 year ago. Keep us posted.

 

I forgot about that time period it should of taken. It's been too long none the less. Good luck.

 

Hey.. theres uh.. theres a a turbo in my car.

Cant believe it lol.

 

CONGRATS!!!!

Silly question. ETA?

 

^ lol indeed.. luckily i no longer care.

My 300T's wheels n tires were delivered today and i bought a crap load of Junction Produce VIP stuff for the interior.. knots, trays, curtains, pads, etc etc..along w swapping headlights around, adding HIDs, and cleaning the engine up.. Ill be 100% busy w this 300T solidly until the Z comes home and kicks the 300T out of the garage.

luckily, the VIPd car scene here in town is FAR bigger than i assumed.. its really pretty cool.. and theres ZERO attitudes in that crowd. Always nice for an "old guy" like me lol.

 

man...this is going to be worth the squeeze!

like squeezing water out of a rock...takes time, but possible

 

about damn time.

 

Word.

 

Haha. Glad to see some progress. Post some pics of the 300 with VIP goodies. Get bags for it as well

 

It is good to see your car moving along.

 

cann needs to be canned for being the beholder of the slowest build/update thread ever.

 

Congrats man on finally getting this far. Appears to be almost ready .. The VIP scene is for every time your not driving the Z! Low and slow doesn't get tickets

 

Yes indeed thats the idea for sure.


gee ya think?

kind of the whole point of the thread lol. Its been paid for a long time.. this is an issue w the build shop.. but an atty is involved, so i dont speak of any of that anymore.

 

this is all i haff for joo too-deh.
Do any of you guys know ( vs just think/speculate lol) if ill ahve issues w having the oil cooler at an angle like this?
Ive heard that just having one period w any airflow helps alot.. thoughts?

 

Mine is like that. No issues in about 6k miles.

CONGRATS on teh PROGRESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It is kinda an odd angle. Are you still going to be running with the Veilside front bumper? If so, could you run a duct to the cooler from one or both of the holes on the driver side of the bumper?

P.S. Glad to see some progress on your ride Brian.

 

I did not realize until after I posted it is on the side. Mine is under the power steering cooler.

 

I plan to run two coolers that way catching air from the side markers...

 

@ Rudy.. for sure.. man.... i know aside from the RX, all these legacy cars will be gone out of there except yours! lol.. youre next! .. Jorges car is gone, the stupid Viper is gone.. pretty cool to finally see it clearing out.

werd, yeah i am running the VS, i guess i do have an oil temp gauge lol.. if its not bueno, i can easily buy one of those sicky-something-or-other ebay vent and fitting kits and stick it in its face.. should do me fine.

yeah its getting close. Will be cool to ahve it back.

Now that ive taken a step back , i think these CF doors are going bye bye.
Ill prob get back in touch w abushong and get em out to him, guess he wanted them.

Just too much going on w this car lol.. i think those door panels were installed out of pure boredom while sitting im last years "garage prison solitary".
