I should have left my car stock

[TurboTnZ06]

It would have saved me tons of time, money and aggravation. Ordered a new 1350 front and back aluminum driveshaft for the T, then I go to take the car to get a takeout pizza last night- it spits tranny fluid everywhere right by the cooler line fitting The wife says to put all my cars on ebay cause they are all tweaked beyond being able to be used normally Ah screw it, maybe if I supercharge the Z06 it will make things better:biggrin:

 

[blackmonte]

Never ends when you get the BUG:biggrin: My wife was mad when I sold my Caddy because all I did was drive it

 

[TurboTnZ06]

I hear ya, I'm only on my second tank of gas in the T in 2 years, that's how much it is either broken or under the knife...

Dont listen to her.

If you have 8" plus :sexually devoud flesh/meat: you are IN CONTROL ... seriously... in over 11 years and it has never failed ---

User error- I put in a new cooler and hoses, but I didn't tighten the clamp enough...

Modding cars is a love/hate relationship

Not for the faint of heart.

You see a guy who has a hot girl? He earned it.

Been through it and still going through it. It is easy to be consumed by heavily modding. The end result is not always what you had thought. I have enjoyed more mild builds as there is more reward vs money spent. When you build a monster you have to be willing to maintain it.

Its the 80/20 rule of owning a turbo regal.

80% broke

20% working

 

[TurboTnZ06]

In my case its the 98/2 rule

I'm going to pick up the GN from my body guy tomorrow who cut metal out and welded more in to fix the rust on the ttops and resprayed the roof too. I hope one of my two cars is ready for the nationals. I made hotel reservations so hopefully if all goes well the T but the GN is the backup. I might be swapping parts from the T in the final hours next weekend to make the GN faster.

The only problem is that eventually you grow tired of her $hit too and want something "newer"

 

[TurboTnZ06]

Yeah I already have the hot girl (she was a runway/bikini model a few years ago and when she tried out for victorias secret they said she just needed to lose 5-10 more pounds so she declined and stayed in grad school). She's 11 weeks with our second, so maybe that's what is causing the irrational ebay remarks I even let her drive the Z06 today while I put a new set of tires on her jeep...
