Haibeck, tuned, it's back, Ready for Bowling Green
I thought i'd post some thoughts on my car, how little things can go oh so wrong, and my general state of address:
2 weeks ago i drove my Zr1 to Marc Haibeck, in Chicago, I wanted to get 4:10 viper gears..Keyless Entry, re-locate air temp sensor, one of Marc's chips..(yes, they are worth it) and for him to just fix any small problems, that he came across, simply said, I trust the man. Yesterday, I flew up, my arms are still tired, and drove her home. And now am wondering WHY i didn't install 4:10 viper gears before. I am more than happy. After breaking the new gears in by varing my speed and driving. I am one happy camper. Night and Day. Feels like i have added at least 50 hp. Marc found 3 vacuum leaks -fixed- I had a problem of some sort in the transmission, wrong fluids..-fixed- plus the slave cylinder was leaking badly, replaced, along with a new clutch. i had him install his air duct support hoops and fasten the air box, which allowed me to keep the stock accordian.fixed Keyless entry works great...open the hatch and doors with a push of a button, and it makes a little honk and lights flash..nice. replaced one bad oxygen sensor and he found both cables melted and replaced..fixed...headlight motors...fixed. removed the air pump..10 lbs. gone...re-aligned my exhaust, it seems the shop that installed had the 2 pipes from the cats to the muffler's were upside down and on the wrong side...i was gonna remove the cats and sell them to a friend..but now need them to make the length of the pipes look right. he sealed the left header stud...& re attached my shifter boot that had come loose. damn...I had asked Marc, if he ran across any things to fix em "Like It was His car" and he did...kudo's to Marc, great work, thanks Bro. the chip made my car idle..really smooth, Marc said as any he's worked on might be the because mine is an Early production car, #74, built in august of 89. No more backfires, no high idle..now a real pleasure to drive... If you ever engage the security system..and it honks and flashes for like 3 minutes in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart .a keyless fob will not stop it from honking...you must put the key in the door.. I'm really looking forward to Bowling Green, I may not be the fastest. but after my drive yetereday...who gives a fat rats...azz. |
