98intrigue's long overdue journal

98intrigue · 10-31-2012, 06:41 PM

Today marks exactly 4 months since my motor woukdn't crank.

Motor mounts arrived Friday. Clutch arrived Monday. Motor was dropped in today. Just waiting on exhaust manifold gaskets for my new headers, which will be installed tomorrow. ALMOST there!

Mr&Mrs · 11-01-2012, 11:00 AM

Thread is epic... beautiful Z build. And to see you hop into a Viper next seems like you really love power hahahhaaha

Well, another bummer! My Belanger headers won't mate up to my exhaust, so he's putting the OEM manifolds back on. I'll have to take it to my exhaust guy who did my Z when he gets back from SEMA to fab me up an exhaust.

Thanks. Out of the blue, my dad told me at breakfast on Saturday that my Z was beautiful. Odd, but flattering comment...especially from my dad.

And yes, I <3 speed and power.

Just read through your build (awesome). It sounds like you and I have the same kind of luck, although I haven't smoked a motor...yet....

98intrigue · 11-01-2012, 09:01 PM

I got the word...picking up the car tomorrow!!! Hoping to leave work early so I can have time to put the wheels on, adjust the KWs, give it a quick wash, and then go for a cruise before a Cars and Coffee meet Saturday morning.

Appreciate it! I was a bit nervous, as I've always had a polished lip...but I think it looks badass.

Thank you thank you! DSLR will be in full effect soon. Have to get her ready for the really big Festivals of Speed event at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando November 30-December 2.
