THE CAR TURNED ON!!!! I HEARD IT FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! (via phone) lol!!

(1) Belt he bought works and fits -- some pulleys were rearranged to make the longer belt fit.

(2) High pressure cooler reservoir was rubbed on by the previous belt we had on which means it was not installed correctly, so he replaced it with the OEM older version non-pressurized coolant reservoir despite the car having the correct plumbing for the newer pressurized one. He replaced it because the coolant was leaking due to the belt rubbing on it.

(3) Transmission fluid is being adjusted now as the car is on.

(4) Eugene will take it to the gas station to fill it up with gas and then drive it around right now

(5) So far, no leaks or anything was found as the car was idling in his shop

(6) I'M SO EXCITED!!!! LETS HOPE NO MORE PROBLEMS ARISE FROM THE TIME HE DRIVES IT, TUNES IT, AND TESTS IT!

I owe sooooo much to Eugene for helping me out when he could have refused to.
He is such a genuine and honest person, I don't know what I would have done without him fixing the issues my car had. (So many I could write an encyclopedia on it).
I am so glad he reached out to me in the beginning when I had my red Z, and I am even more happy that I joined these forums. I have learned so much through everyone here and their support, can't thank you all enough!

I really hope that I can finally daily drive the vehicle normally with a little spirit once in a while without having to fret about something popping off or breaking!

One of the lessons I learned was:
- Do not let multiple people touch your modded car, only let one person and one person only touch it otherwise ... it can be a snowball of issues! (My car is a living testimony of that).
