My advice is the car drives so take a deep breath and have a break from it for a while. If you sell it you'll rip up plenty plus it will always bother you that you never got it 100%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it drive.I have only driven the car from the tuner to the automatic shop and then home .I also took the misses for a spin to get a pizza .it has been garaged over the weekend and not even looked at .it most definitely goes a lot better . will see how it goes saturday night at powercruise as they will have the drag strip open to use .(that's not this weekend but the next weekend ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kinda important for longevity, especially when pushing hard like you will at power cruise?A question for anyone. If you replace valve springs do you need to retune, especially given the bell curve Gunna has.

Engines rebuilt 2 and 3 times due to poor workmanship, without compensation. Carnts taking to long to do a job that holds the build up killing motivation. Ping tunes, fark one guy wrote his fg off at a circuit coz officials couldn't clean up an oil spill properly. That had a built motor and everything, he is re shelling the car....Your biggest problems was the tray and the tuners. Yeah rapid fkd you around, you and everybody else. Yes you had the ABS issue but it was an easy fix and realistically given the size of the task at hand you did very well for a novice with a jack and some car stands.It's good that you are having a break from it cause you need it haha. One last hurdle mate and it will be a very well sorted rig. You are well and truly past the point of no return.Id be happy to give you a hand with the valve springs if you can get hold of the tool. Something id like to learn to do anyway. I know a guy who knows a guy who would have a tool but he's not my mate so I dunno...I can ask though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you can control 5200 rpm shifts when adrenalin and competitive streak kick in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
