Default long hiatus but back from the dead!

Well after 5yrs on the back burner my z is in the process of coming back to life! Can't believe it's been 5yrs since I last drove it but life happens as they say! I swapped the heads and cam but put the dowel pin in the wrong hole on the opti and before I could finish righting that problem I blew out a bunch of discs in my back at work. 2 surgeries and a few years later I got back to work and then....a family lol. So she sat some more.
Now finally after 5yrs in the garage she's getting ALL fixed up! Gonna be flawless once again looks wise and allot meaner then the last time she drove with an AI226/224 cam and some real tame head work along with a dmh plate on the borla. I've got some LE2's in a box but they need a little work and didn't feel like paying for all the labor involved in swapping them as I've got no extra time these days. Anyways figured I'd leave an update, been awhile since I've popped in around here

You let a broken back, a woman, some snotsuckers, life, and mechanical failure get between you and your f-body, and you call yourself an enthusiast?

For shame!

Man, mine has been down for 6 months and I thought that was bad. Good luck with getting it up and running!

I just got my heads back today from LE, went from LE1's to the LE2's. I would like to see the difference they make!
