Final resting place? What happen?

Nothing just don't feel like working on it/dumping money into it anymore, its been an ongoing project for a while. Machine shop fucked my heads up a couple years ago and trashed my engine since then I haven't really cared to work on it. I got the Nova for my performance needs now. I am going to spend roughly 2 grand and have a bullet proof 500whp in the Nova, I have more than that in my rods and pistons for my stealth so ridiculous.
I can see where you're coming from, I'm nearly eight deep into mine, not even with the cost of the car... It's hard to keep going when you look at the numbers :(Quote:

My to do list before Fri evening:
Swap motor mounts for poly
Install upgraded radiator
Wire up a 2nd A/C fan
Finish changing out rod bearings
Install IPS oil pan
Install oil cooler with AN adapters on the filter housing
Take off rear turbo
Install new turbos, oil feed lines, and coolant lines
Change out intercooler core
Put it all back together and retune
That's longer than I thought. :(
Shit im 4K deep in my SL and its only 200Whp. Of course not all of that is engine mods...
You can say that again.Quote:

you start doing that and you start thinking of the 10 other cars you could have instead. or if you add up the time spent a part time job at mcdonalds would've bought you a new c6 by now.
I don't even dare add up how much I have dumped into my stealth over the years, I think I would lose my mind if I did.

I guess you guys don't put a value on having a hobby.
Get this negative bullshit outta here.

After having not really touched my car for a few years (apart from just driving it very rarely), it's honestly nice to turn a wrench on it. I guess that is a nod toward Adam's comment about a hobby having a value. I could get a different car, but this one I know so well. Why ruin that?
:D
Replaced crappy rubber fuel line from pumps with submersible line. (note to self: stop installing used parts as received assuming previous work was good. and stop buying used parts!)
Was that the lean issue?Quote:

Trying to get my build plans straight....
noticed it had flat tires.
Installed a set of these:
Mitsubishi 3000GT Drive Shaft Carrier Bearing Support Bushings
http://www.torquesolution.com/v/vspf...S-30-DSB-2.jpg
Quick shipping, fits perfect, and don't have to worry about replacing them ever again. Went well with my new oem carrier bearings. :)
It's easy. Go big.Quote:

That is awesome!Quote:
