IAC is moving back and forth, I can feel it. Also the motor is getting pretty warm. Ive never paid any attention to the IAC before so I have no idea how this is suppose to be lol

Considering I have 15k views throughout this thread, I felt that I owe it to all of you to let you know the project has been scrapped and the car has been sold.
Im not sure the circumstances around it but I lost 1 or more rings doing nothing but idling the car. I was so frustrated and tired of working on it that I called my friend who owns a local speed shop and offered to sell him the car for what I owed on it(almost 9k). Its already been stripped down and is going to live its life as a dedicated drag car now.
What I did may appear a bit hasty to some but when it comes down to it, women and cars are alot alike. If youre dating a girl and every time youre around her you feel like punching yourself in the dick, you move on right? Thats how I felt with this car. I got too over my head trying to do too much at one time, with too little knowledge. At some point you just have to know when to cut your losses and walk away.
I picked up a Genesis Coupe as a daily, and something to tinker with here and there. Im already thinking when the loan is paid off it might be getting an LS swap(its already been done!) But for now, Im bidding farewell to the LS world.

Damn i just read this whole damn thing. I can understand, i spent six years in AK and i know what it is like to wait all years for the summer and they have things go wrong. Look at all that you did learn from the car, so not a total loss at all.

I definitely learned alot from all of it, even if I didnt get it 100% finished. I swear the Genesis forum is full of retards compared to this place. I cant tell you how many threads on there I see that say "Need help installing intake." WHAT?!
