That happened to me just in the supporting mods phase and I'm not even planning to boost lol

So I need to do the oil gallery gaskets. Might as well go ahead and throw in some SuckerPunch oil pump gears :rofl2:

Yep, the thing is if you are boosted or track a lot the idea that it will be a long time be fore you are in there again is a joke just like the saying I will be happy when she is finished. Get the hell out of town.

Yeah, it got left behind

You can be finished until the next thing breaks or starts acting like it is broke. LOL

Or you want it to break so you can justify the buying of upgraded parts sitting on the self that you bought just on case something happens.

Does the license plate stand for "no torque?" :stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

Never noticed that; but since...her car was totaled out by seawater :ugh2:
Parked on the streets at the beach this past year & when one of the last hurricanes came by - water got up near top of doors and shorted all the electrical out...had car full of the marshy saltwater :shakes head:
Insurance company immediately totaled it :eek:

I'm really struggling with that...

It gets the best of us

It's not my favorite conversation to have with my wife, that's for sure.

WOW, mine is good with it for the most part but I do have a limit. She use to complain about my truck until one day I said I was done. That was a long time ago and she even enjoys it. She says it is her truck now. LOL Me, I was like WTH???

Credit where credit is due, wife was good with me getting a turbo, and was pretty even keeled about everything else I've spent in supporting mods. Too much at once though, and she gets a little salty, which is unfortunate since it's much easier when everything is in pieces.

That is your first modified car I assume. My wife is use to it. I was modding cars when she married me. She saw what happens if I make a mistake and have to go back and redo. I am about done though. Close to her limit. I can tell.

Not the first, but by far the most extensive. My 350z I modded before I met her. It's a curious balance - she's lavish in some ways (bought a new house and a new car at the same time) but very frugal in others. We've had to come to an understanding on a lot of points.

I can nickle and dime and the wifey won't say a word. Do one big purchase and she blows up unless it's for the house or on her. I'm still catching flak for the rifle scope.

I can relate to that. The only thing I didn't catch flak for was the TracSpec vents. I sent her a picture of Madwi's car and she said 'I like those vents' SCORE!!!!! :happydance:

I only catch hell from mid-September to the end of December..... :ugh2:

The Schmidt & Bender scope was $3200. I made the mistake of using the wrong credit card. When the mail came up. She just happened to open up THAT bill. :facepalm: I still have a lot of gun stuff coming in. It's just been on back order.

I'm starting on your rain shields this weekend. :tup:

That is the biggest thing right there. I am not perfect. I have messed up before. LOL I have got the hang of it now and know to talk first. To be honest, My car is just about done. I can stick with that also. My truck has been done for 9 yrs.

Don’t know you that as far as the wife is concerned, everything costs $800.

Update for Today:
:hello:

Cylinder Heads are complete :tup:
Block is awaiting the Darton sleeves to arrive :tup::icon14:
Fastintentions Turbo oil pan has been shipped out to Mazworx :tup:

That’s all for now :ugh2:

I plan for years, replan, go though a dark night of the soul wondering if I should even do x y or z build, save and then eventually a tsunami of pain ensues but over a briefer period. Rip it off quick like a band aid I say.

Same here. Wife is fine with whatever as long as we can afford it, finances aren’t separate or secret so communication is key. We’re both gear heads so as long as she gets to mod her Jeep and our (her) track car we good. :tup:

Wifey remembers all my car build Fvck ups, so whenever I’m modding, she just wants to make sure I’ve thought through everything and planned ahead so I don’t wind up redoing sh1t etc. she still has trouble getting that on a big build there’s always going to be some things that get missed or unexpectedly come up no matter how meticulous the planning, but it’s all good. :driving:

As long as I don’t secretly delete the a/c it’ll be fine. :icon17:

(Been there, done that)

Saturday Update: :hello:

Fastintentions Twin-Turbo kit, Turbo exhaust & all accessories have shipped :tup:
Gonna take about a week, I’ll post up :pics: When I receive everything :tiphat:

You know that shipment is coming here first. I'm to inspect everything in the boxes and remove all the bad parts. Then ship ship the empty boxes to you.

It’s only 7-boxes 245# :ugh2:
Oil Pan shipped to Mazworx, or weight could have been closer to mine :wtf2:

:bs:

I just tell my wife 20 bucks for each part. lol

Got one of these ordered :tup:

I am putting the same thing on my car. Looks to be the cleanest unit out there. I love me some Motion Raceworks parts for sure.

Mine has been shipped (finally) :ugh2:
:pics: When it arrives.
Yes; it’s a neat piece & video explains it all :tup:

Things are getting real; as engine should be ready in next 4-6 weeks :yum:

A few boxes showed up past couple days :tup:

Got some Meat & Potato parts :yum:

I know which one has the exhaust in it. I remember that box.

You know, a few more boxes, and you won't be able to get the car in the garage...
