UPDATE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Moday PM:
My block is back from the machine shop, all parts are balanced, just waiting for my shop to begin building.

Tuesday: not gonna bother them, hopefully they'll make some huge progress.

Wednesday (today): went in to take pictures of my hoped to be almost built motor...was thoroughly disappointed, the block was STILL sititing there and my crank was even still wrapped up...conclusion; they didn't do a damn thing...hmmm, so that means the past two days can now be added to the "huge waste of time days" list.

Someone, please give me comforting words, just like I needed them that horrible day when my block decided to tell me to go f%$& myself, I need either some peer support, or someone I can strangle!

I really hope by Friday the block is built and they are preparing to bolt on all the other goodies and put it back into my car. I know I keep saying this, but hopefully my car will be done by late next week...
VERY VERY PISSED (i am not patient at all, and I feel like this project is not a priority at all)
BTW- going deep is in the exact same situation as me, at least our blocks are keeping each other company
ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE AS TO HOW TO "CREATE" AN EVEN GREATER SENSE OF URGENCY?

...just remember that good things are worth waiting for. I am sure once your car is done and ready you will be so happy that you'll forget about most of the hassles you had to go through. I know this doesn't excuse the shop being so slow, but at least they aren't just rushing it half a$$ just to get it out of the shop. Anyway, good luck and hope you get your car back soon. It should be a beast.

Yeah I saw it on another forum.

I think he may have tipped them to finish his first.


Just kidding.

what other forum?
ernie's motor looks good, hopefully they will be able to assemble MY motor in half the time because they have it so fresh in their minds

Any day now, get my baby back, break in, then tune to my hearts' content, I will be complete again

"You complete me...uhhuh..you complete me" (me talking to a picture of my z, and acting like I'm switching gears quickly through a race-only I'm sitting on my couch by myself)
hmmm, this Z deprevation is really getting to me!
