Daily Driver No Longer

JARblue · 05-12-2022, 10:23 AM

Z was back in the body shop again after I put it up on a curb in Feb. Then a power steering leak fried the alternator. Had Austin Z Clinic install my CJM road race pump kit and billet top hat while it was in the shop. Now it's time for some

Any updates Jar? I somehow read this entire thread last night as I'm about to go down the same street --> track-built Z rabbit hole.

He's been off grid for a while. Don't know why.

Been busy with life and stuff and things. And I don't spend much time in front of a computer anymore these days. Been a year since I've been on the forum in earnest.

The Z is running strong; it's at about 115K miles now. I've been redlining the shìt out of it lately

Stock suspension is still kicking but sounds a little cranky at times. Have all the SPL and FA parts waiting the living room still. Been in touch with the folks at Spokes (local autox league). Dunno if I'll make it out this year but I'm hoping by next year I'll have the suspension and Wavetrac differential ready for the season.

Hope everyone is doing well

Glad to hear it man! Was thinking about doing a Spokes event down the line too, but been keeping busy with NASA TX and Edge Addicts.

One thing to add: I replaced the PS sensor where the leak was occurring and it is still seeping. At some point I will pull it off and see if some teflon tape on the threads helps. For now, I'm just wiping down the sensor fitting and the electrical connector whenever I get gas or after any spirited driving.

Had to tow the Z yesterday

Car just died while driving and the fuel pressure gauge is reading zero. Most likely one or both of the fuel pumps. I put the CJM RRP kit in a while back but didn't replace either fuel pump.

gallery gaskets just look scary.. you can have them done in a weekend easily. while you're in there might as well do the water pump
