After sitting for 5 months, the weather cut us a break in ohio, 60s all week so far. Dropped a new batt in her, fired right up. Took a shakedown run. All well. Took new gf for a ride, opened her up a while (140ish maybe) and a few pulls and digs, no spray yet dam bottle empty. But, and I **** u not, she says, wow it's vibrating just right I love it, and the speed with that I'm actually aroused. God I love that car.

I just found out that after trying to get his '98Z running as well as can be expected without a programmer, 'Dude Across the Street' pulled the PCV out, and questioned why he even needs one. I tried to explain, but he said I don't know what the **** I'm talking about because his friend knows better and says everything I have done is wrong.

After being told (several times) that I was turning the wrench the wrong way while trying to remove the oil drain plug, and physically demonstrating that I was not, I had had enough. I threw his money back at him and told him he could do it his own damned self. I packed up my van and left him trying to get the drain plug out by turning it clockwise.

And that's what I did today.

Started it up for the first time this year and gave it a quick look over.

Rear main is leaky as usual, maybe a tad worse.

Brakes need replaced still - maybe I'll finally get around to that this summer lol.

The thing that irritated me is, well... those were some nice new spark plug wires last year. Darn mice! Nothing else messed with, and it seems to be just the boots and it runs fine, but still rather irritating!

Exclamation I set a GoFundMe account

My car broke down on me completely. Was onthe way to Macon Georgia from Atlanta Georgia. 30 minutes from being at the hospital to see me hospitalised grandmother everything heated up & went off the charts with no warning. I just got this car as-is from Buyavette at the end of December. I got it towed back home & it is just screaming "Fix me". Transmission is a goner the engine tapped out & the radiator blew. So today I had setup a GoFundMe Campaign being that I can't pay for both car loan insurance repairs. If anyone has suggestions & spare change, free parts let me know.
Alexanderlatroy@gmail.com or message for my number.

Changed brake pads to ceramic pads and waxed rims inside and out to hopefully eliminate brake dust.

Adjusted the UMI panhard lowering/leveling kit. Had it on the lowest holes since install, raised it up 2 holes. Just in the time I was out running errands (~60 mi.). Dramatic difference. Rear is firmer (more oversteer). With it on the lowest setting you could feel the rear squatting more around corners (less oversteer).

swapped AN fuel fittings from the plastic clip insert style to the threaded style on my factory hard lines in the engine bay...


much better piece of mind and it also reduced the raw fuel smell coming from the old fittings
