jeremy Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 have a safe trip......it looks like a very very nice car, even though it didn't dyno as "advertised"....I would have renegotiated the sales price after the dyno run though... I told him over the phone nomatter what it runs on the dyno, the price is set. The dyno is purely informational. I swore he said in the other thread that the contract was based on the numbers you quoted.....at any rate, the car looks/sounds damn good...drive safe Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 TurboSedan we won't go there ok? He left this morning. The car will run great, I am very confident in it. It is so smooth on the highway. It is weird to come home and not see it, and I will osrt of miss it. I will still hang around here, cuz of my red Z34, but Fiero here I come.

J Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 i'm happy for you and all Tony, but how in the fuck did you convince (sp) your parents to let you fly out halfway across the country to get a 13 year old car? My parents would have laughed at me, and told me to fuck off. Let me know how that worked out. Hope your trip is going well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWeb80 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 he was supposed to call me on thursday when he went through lincoln.......he never called me....o well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeah, sorry Adam. I really just wanted to get to Des Moines and you said you had to work, so I didn't call. Overall, the whole trip was pretty good. I did get pulled over in Northern Colorado doing 88 in a 75, cop wrote me for 84 in a 75. Then the car wouldn't start after it was on the side of the road! The trooper was nice enough to try and jump me and we also tried popping the clutch. After this I started wigging out because I was in the middle of no where! Well, after calling AAA I let the car cool down and it started! So I drove through to Des Moines, and I guess the weekend I was there it was the largest state track meet in the country. :? And there where kids everywhere. I had a huge headache that night and I went to gas station to get some asprin because me head was going to explode and after I bought some I couldn't get the car started....AGAIN. So this time I said fuck it and figured it was the starter, so I waited till AAA to get there, and we hit the starter and it started! I went to the hotel and went to bed. I had talked to Jay and Chris and their advice was just drive to Ben's place and change the starter there. So I started the car and didn't shut it off till I got to Mishawaka , that drive was a easy one, except for driving by Chicago! So much construction! I got to Ben's and we found alot of retarded wiring from the starter to the postive cables. We basically spent the weekend fixing starting problems and really didn't get to tune it. We also found out all this was bad. http://60degreev6.com/Sappy/aaronz34/ :shock: I ended up just replacing a bunch of stuff this weekend. Overall the car ran awesome, Nebraska and Iowa blow hugely. The interior is out of the car right now and it needs a starter, and all that is currently getting done right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 you still could have called me, my job is pretty easy goin.....i could have had a dentist appointment for all they knew....am i'm only 7 minutes from the interstate.....o well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Damn, I feel shitty about it now. I also didn't want to stop because I was afraid about the car not wanting to run again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I would be pissed if I went across country and bought a car that ended up with a shitty starter and a hub that broke in two before I got home......you are certainly taking it better than I would, especially for the $ you paid for that car.

J Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Who needs structural integrity? I have headers. Thats what i was thinking. Ya know after talking with aaron he;s not that bad of a guy, but after seeing the pics of how he sold the car to Tony, KNOWING HE WAS GONNA MAKE A LONG ASS TRIP, i'd like to kick the kid in the ball sack.

runt Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I would be seriously pissed off if I were you. I understand it's 13 years old or whatever...but damn...having a starting problem is VERY uncool, being out in the middle of no where sucks.

topless94style Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Such an amazing guy as Aaron, having the greatest Z34 to ride on this earth, with the headers built better than anyone could ever do, he really didnt take care of much anything else on that car. Glad to see you made it home in one piece, cant say the same about the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Such an amazing guy as Aaron, having the greatest Z34 to ride on this earth yah he did, and apparantly he's had the wheels off more times than I've had sex (which must be like.....3 times a day every day since the car was new, cause I'm so hott) and doesn't notice suspension parts with missing boots as needing attention. That car wouldn't last a day in NY, at least in his hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 holy crap :shock: i would be pissed. get those poor excuse for a set of headers off there and go with stock exhaust manifolds. and replace that hacked subframe! that does not look safe at all :gone2far: and then the starter, entire front end suspension needs to be replaced. yeah i'd be really pissed!

john99gtp Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 my god. I would so be pissed. so much for the almighty headers. Digitaloutsider said it well Who needs structural integrity? I have headers. :worship: I bow down to the almighty headers that need subframe hacking :worship: then the starter going??? wtf is up with that. then the suspension parts?? god damn Ive been saying some choice words in IRC, come to IRC and ill repeat what ive said. im going to have to stop here for now John :hugs his TOGs and RT/DP that only needed a new tranny dipstick (but came with the headers (and required no subframe hacking)): PS: Link for IRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I don't know about the subframe. Maybe it's safe notched like it is, even though that's waaay more than I remember reading.... :shock: Starting problems, being a W, I'm not surprised.. but that is definitely something I'd want to KNOW about before taking a CROSS-COUNTRY JOURNEY!!! The suspension... that's bullshit. Sorry, someone got gypped. This is why I would have never sold my old car to anyone without making a full list of the shit that I jurry-rigged up (even in the past) because EVERY shade tree mechanic does shit like that once in awhile. But not to a car that you sell for $5k!!! Why did I expect something like this to happen...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
