So, i have a bit of maintenance on my hands before i can start this pos.
I picked up the car a few days ago, over the last year, so I’ve been running into some issues with some bullshit in the car that I haven’t been able to quite figure out on my own well I took it into Southern speed and the boys pulled the motor and whatever a bunch of stuff and I had to just go ahead and refresh the thing anyway new sleeves pistons crank bearings micrometer in the pistons resurface the motor and heads afew other things
To juicer up a little bit the old girl responds well when you’re nice to her all told 3700 bucks but they checked her on the engine sand and threw a load on the motor just under 900 hp naturally as in a car that 2660 with me in it now sounds great and everything but thing is now I’m gonna have to like teach myself how to not floor it all the way or I’m gonna have to retard my launch which there’s no way in hell that’s happening so the only other option is to add two more points on the roll cage the fuck fairly certain though once I get all this other dumb shit done with these fittings right here she’ll launch like a banshee. She’s almost ready now what happened with these well, they’re soft gaskets that are inside every separation point on these fittings hurricane comes out power for extended period of time the car runs off a deep cycle gel batteries batteries aren’t getting the trickle charge that they need they die. Cash has been tight but it picked up your recently a little bit and the guy at Southern speed sent me some pictures and they tell me that you got a surprise there want us to fix it and after that bill I was like fuck that I’ll come get it and do it myself
good thing they ran it on the engine stand. You never know when some shop has it fucking stooge running around there that you know doesn’t look for things like that anyway the C2 fuel that I run is some pretty gnarly shit and if you don’t cycle the motor if there’s fuel in the system, you get rad shit like that that ends up happening so now out of an abundance of caution I get to replace basically everything that is a fitting or a line that feeds fuel anywhere from the bottom of the fuel sale through the fuel pump all the way up to the carburetor before I can even think about starting that car good thing I’m prepared and I already have spares all that shit laying around it’s gonna be fun but pretty soon. She’ll be breathing fire again. It never ends.
