You pay for his experience.

And for a part for a car that was not high production and has not been produced for 15+ years.

L O F'ING L. I pulled the supercharged driveline out of my 97. The inlet fuel line was cut (nylon) then a rubber hose was hoseclamped to it, ran over the top of the exhaust manifold (24" or so)

When I pulled the hoseclamped rubber hose off of it, the nylon was clamed so hard, it was pinched off.

So, not only would it be lean at WOT, it was a fire hazard. EPIC FAIL.

Pics to follow... If you call that experience, boy oh boy.

Do you think he worked on it personally? It was probably one of his employees. He runs the business. But i was not really "happy" with him. Allthough he told me on the diff reinforcing job he himself would be doing the work because none of the employees have done that kinda work that he was going to do. But i really dont give a shit anymore. It has not blown up on me yet so i guess it was worth it.

[St Louis SHO]

[Rubix]

That rubber hose looks like a heavy duty garden hose

 

[SHOtime2511]

Im surprised it even ran.

I can't believe it was supercharged also! That's amazing it got enough fuel to run.

I've seen that done before but not near an exhaust manifold, that's ridiculous.
