Default Re: Wazoo to the rescue AGAIN

We have also changed out clutch, replaced Dual Mass Flywheel with lightweight aluminum one, changed stock gears to 4:10's, headers, exhaust, installed shift light, LED interior and exterior lighting, weatherstripping. Whatever somebody needs, we can usually take care of it. The amount of talent and knowledge in our group is amazing! If we spend most of the time on your car, you get to buy the pizza.

Sign me up!
Is it bad form to tow mine down and drive it back?

I'll buy the best pizza in the area. Best wings to go with it.

Well? If you tow your Z down to the Wazoo land, we will probably waive pizza in view of the transportation expense.
What issues are you having?

Really just tuning and drivability type stuff. Though I'm sure I could always find things...

Thanks for the feedback, was a bit curious because as we know repairs can go wrong and people can try to take advantage of each other. However, that comradery and support is just amazing, hats off to you guys.

Don't quite have the space currently to host, but we're planning a shop for the next house. When I was in HS I had several friends who were also into cars. Our house was the place to work on them because my dad is a car guy too so we had all the tools and experience. Now my brother and I still work on cars together, but the type of fun you guys are having is a place I'd like to get back to.

Tuning is a bit tricky. Even my limited knowledge tells me wide band O2 sensors (welded in to exhaust manifold or headers), ability to read mixture, timing, etc., a lot of knowledge and experience and ability to burn EPROM.

Sorry. Not that kind of tuning. The old fashioned boring kind. Just the tweaks to get it running right again.

Already done. And wires. Coils. Vacuum lines. etc etc.

Just think it needs some fine tuning to be it's best.

I have been tinkering with cars for four decades but no where near what I got into since running into Wazoo guys. Having knowledgeable guys around you made me more ambitious and courageous and?
