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.

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.

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:

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.
