Boy was I wrong about taking on a project myself. I bought the house, had my second kid, and took on a new role at work. Now I barely have time to eat and take a piss. Once the kids are old enough to turn a wrench, i'll have them help with another project. Maybe a miata or something that they can enjoy as a learner vehicle. Down the road, when the Z eventually blows up (hope not, but **** happens). I'll buy something already boosted (STi, M3) and enjoy that until my days frees up. |

Sorry to hear this this, it's sadness me that shops do this. It was awesome that the man in the wheelchair showed up to help, but look at all the stuff that went wrong. Our cars is like our kids you want the best for them no matter the cost. If I'm paying full cost for my car to be worked on I shall never sent on a gamble. That's why I speak to Z1, not trying to be a fanboy just stating what works for me. I'd would get the locate shop to fix, and re-assemble the car. Double check behind every move, than get Jon at Z1 to do a turn key tune using data logs. Won't even take the chance of doing it any other way. Good luck hope it works out for you. |

Purchasing a boosted Z will always be the best route depending on who did the work, and how it was taken care of. EX: If I ever decide to sell, who ever is the lucky bastered to purchase my whip will have EVERY dime spend on it in a neat binder. Dates, amount, and contacts on who did the work. |

Some pretty pipes you have there! But are there no tips?
I know every build has setbacks, but to have issues due to lack of attention and care for the details is quite disheartening. Sure your car is fast now, but what happens when an undocumented issue or untorqued bolts comes off when you are driving your car hard? Hopefully you have had all the kinks worked out and your new shop has double checked everything since you have changed your exhaust!
