Either way, there's a bit of Z knowledge around, so no harm done.
And again, I know how some of you feel, but even on his last day, Ted calls me out of the blue to chat and ask how my car's doing (I dropped in an HKS DLI last week there). As for me, that type of followup and service does go a long way in my book.

Anyways, how is the HKS DLI working out for you?

Why is there an argument anymore? It's over already. ZCG won. I thought this would go on and on but it's over......
Ted did get a sweet high salary job running a multi million dollar Lambo/Ferrari shop. I think in a sense he won, personaly for himself. Those cars are in his blood.
As for the other guy, I wish him well.

What exhaust did you end up getting? I was going to give the DLI some more miles and see how things were. Nonetheless, I initally thought this unit was unnecessary, though I've been loyal to HKS and a college friend happens to work there.
From what I guaged so far, it's pleasantly suprising. I haven't had the Z idle this smooth since I can remember, response has noticeably picked up, and there is a bit more low and mid range punch. The Z also pulls a bit stronger in the higher end, and I'm racking miles right now to look for possible MPG improvements. Overall, I think it's a worthy mod if you're FI'd.
OK, back to the topic at hand....

Opened her up on the highway and feels strong and still hitting the same boost. The piping is about the same size as the SP exhaust so I'm not all that surprised.I've been thinking about the DLI recently, I may try it out as well.

Yeah, James, the date's good, as he told me himself on the phone. With a upgrade like he got in the business, but +1 on Zon, he's not letting anybody down and he will still do the big jobs on the Z/G's yet, and yes it's much closer (Gilroy to Salinas). So nothing been lost, the man keeps his word. Don't know about the San Mateo shop, but saw it on the internet when it was posted the other nigh, may just swing by to see how it stacks up. And Rob's shop is in San Jose yet, so there is some around. But for me, Gilroy is just up the road now.

Hope so, as it was uncalled for and unfounded. We're here to socialize, relate, and keep it clean. 2004Z Moderator said it all in the above post. Exellent! Now on to good things on the forum.

Do I know you??? If I could have deleted it I would have banned him too, along with you. But 2004Z is on it.
Now enough of this crap, I just want to be a nice guy anymore.

If he has all the parts and gaskets and stuff I wouldn't think it would take more than a few days to build a short block and do whatever to the heads, depending, and have those bolted up. Then there is all the pullies and belts and covers, etc, etc.. But that's going non stop (I don't think it happens that way, non stop) and then if your doing TT that's a lot more assembly. I'd say up to a week for everything up to that point. But I am probably wrong. Give it two weeks to have all that done and have motor in the car, everything hooked up and tuned.
Edit: Thinking about it more I remember built motor TT jobs were in the shop up to a month, maybe more or less I don't know anymore. But I understand your frustration. I don't know about your project but let him get it done and he'll do it wright by the time it's done.
Regards
