I am sure alot of people in FI section went thru this, but in the past 3 months with my motor being built, it feels worse than being dumped by a hot-gf... How do you guys live!? what do you guys do when you are waiting for it!?

Current status waiting to be sleeved...sigh...

 

its even more painful for me bc i am doing my build in my garage so I have to look at it everyday.

It was easy the past few months because it was cold and it wouldnt matter anyways, but now I am getting antsy. Xbox Live is what really keeps me sane

 

just drink it away, or strip clubs, then put the 2 together and boy oh boy the time will sure pass!!

 

I'm going through the same damn thing right now.....aaaahhhhhhh

Any chance all the rain for the next 6 months will come down before my car is done lol

 

Other hobbies kept me sane in the 7 months my Z was down.

 

I've always had a couple fast vehicles and made sure to never have them both down at the same time. Some guys buy bikes to get them through. Or if in a cold climate, have it done in the winter.

 

My built long block took 12 months plus to complete. Then the car went to the shop in the beginning of July of 07 and til now. It's almost done though. I work more hours when i don't have my car to drive around. Plus 6 months of Winter really helps too.

 

Im at 3 years lawl. Look at car parts to buy.

 

drive around a fun beater like 87 aw11.

 

Thats one good looking beater.

 

This isn't by chance a supercharged one is it?

 

Get used to it. I've only had my Z for two months out of the past year. I forget I even own it sometimes.

 

Alot of **** and alot of beer! It took me 2 years.

Thats just business as usual for some of us, lol.

 

unfortunately it isnt, but... from my supercharged experience... i really didnt want another... not that it was the superchargers fault... but the kaboom left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

 

Wow didn't know the turn around was that long on a built fi set up! So if I were to make an appointment to drop off my car at forged, performance factory , or Mrc for a basic built motor And a t t setup with everything, it would take over 3 months for it too be done?

 

its very possible. stuff like that doesnt need to be rushed, plus its not like a shop can just concentrate on your car only.

 

CORRECTION..... Moar **** and moar beer than usual.

got mine back yesterday after 3 months, in the break-in period. It's worth it

 

I'm getting by, by driving my other slow cars I wonder if you can turbo a Cadillac...
