As some of you know, something in the steering went insane about 2 months ago, and caused the PS pump, along with 2 replacements to lock up. As far as I can tell, its a clog in some of the HP lines on teh rack. And since Ive started school, I dont have time to mess with it. So today Im bringing it to a mechanic I trust to work on my baby. I cant wait to get behind the wheel again.
So you sucked it up and now will have the pros deal with it? That's respectable. I know it must be hard for you. There's very few people in the world I allow to touch my vehicles.
Hopefully everything gets resolved for you!
Real men skip class to fix their cars.
I can't believe you took it to a mechanic...
What would Paul say? Speaking of which, what forums does he still troll?
Paul wouldn't let Anony live it down. And the Prof would agree. Ha.
By this analogy, doctors should cure themselves and dentists should fix their own mangled teeth.
If Im skipping lass, Im sleeping late lol. And I cant skip, that way I can get a good job so I can make money to pour into this money pit.
Not at all, take a logic course.Quote:

I know what Im doing. :)Quote:

As far as the engine, its gonna stay the same unless I can find some GT40 heads and a cam I want for cheap.
$3k is reasonable, you could probably get away with the parts rather cheap. I just did 30lb injectors on mine, and I'm waiting to put a Granatelli 255 inline pump in. It'll be a bitch and I am not looking forward to it.
Otherwise that stuff isn't too expensive. What mods do you have now? Refresh my memory :)
Oh, and what did the mechanic say?
Let me see if I can remeber.Quote:

And they are not hard at all to install.
Finally got it back today. Took me a few minutes to get used to teh cable clutch again since Id been using a hydraulic system for so long. But man I love my car. I burned like half a tank of gas.
So, what was the issue?
Air in the system. :mad:Quote:
