I had a goal and I kinda of made it.
 

My goal was to being the car to our local cruise night and also get a picture in front of the Tivoli theater.

Step 1 Get Gas (( at least 5 gallons ))

Putting some more miles on it (( 08-31-24 ))

Looks like the birds got me yesterday.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0827425-me.jpg

Look Mom there is a Mustang in the background, Mike must be here.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...73b538a-me.jpg

Mike and I took the car out and drove it around a bunch.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6987896-me.jpg

We even stopped by the house and picked up his car just for this picture.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...83b94f2-me.jpg

Even stopped for ice-cream and a lower radiator hose leak !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3b2e79e-me.jpg

When we arrived back at the house we had a few issue's. When I turned the car off it continued to run. Not Good.

Then to make matters worse after we got the tuned off we had another issue. Seems the computer was unable to see
the transmission and we (Mike) had to push the car on to the lift.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7245e58-me.jpg

and since my memory sucks we wrote down the chain of events.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5fd11d0-me.jpg

For now the car is in the garage on the lift and I will be driving the Cayman for the next couple days.

This Wagner Motor is a leaky SOB !! (( 09-15-24 ))
 

Seriously I am thinking about scrapping this motor and just buying a new LS3 Connect & Cruise !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...82de379-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7595ba1-me.jpg

The plan is to work on a couple things before I try to figure out what is wrong with the car and unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

First Up, raise the rear

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6a53124-me.jpg

I hate this Tin Man **** !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1bd3d9c-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...18af9af-me.jpg

Looks a little better.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4d1acb2-me.jpg

and then I walked into this and it quickly reminded me how much heads bleed !!!

Looks like I am going to the ER.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1703365-me.jpg

Good news when you have a head injury they take you in right away.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3b2ed18-me.jpg

Eleven stitches, Cat Scan and a friendly Doctor visit were heading home.

Thank god I have no hair.

Kore3 Wilwood Electric Brake (( 09-28-24 ))
 

Still have no clue if the car will drive and honestly I am just happy I walked back out to the garage to work on the car.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to use the current bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2650959-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...53c72de-me.jpg

The current bracket only allows me to install one of the bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6aace7d-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...55fe4e1-me.jpg

Plan B. Use the brackets that Tobin sent with this kit.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4a9d2df-me.jpg

Removing the original bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...89518bf-me.jpg

Looks like I need to modify this bracket. Apparently my axle housing needs a little more space so I can install it.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...514ef39-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...625c093-me.jpg

I will need to machine an actually spacer instead of using the washers.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...91f11a0-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c5bc656-me.jpg

The Electric Part.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d2bf464-me.jpg

Kinda cute.

more work for tomorrow.

Hang in there Marty.

You're making progress, that's what matters. When you get tired of that 4L60, let's get you hooked up with a ZF 8HP70

Andrew

Dude!

:eek:

That's not how you're supposed to use your head, Marty.

As Jody said, hang in there. You'll get there.

I'm doing my best.

It might have a new LS3 in front of it.

I have called it yet and it was nice going out just working on the car this weekend.

[QUOTE=fleetus macmullitz;732472]Dude!

:eek:




Yep, that is exactly how I felt the Doc said I couldn't wear a helmet so I missed five days of spectacular weather out on the bike.

ps I did get a ride in on Friday and Sunday so I am a little less cranky.

A new LS3 & 8 speed auto might be the cure for crankiness…until you gitz yer credit card statement!

:G-Dub:
