Uhhhh yeahhhhh!

HOLY FUCK KEVIN....

All that just to change out your pipes.... fuck that shit. I roll up there with everything in tact...

*rolls eyes* yea trying to stock it out for the dealer. What pisses me off is I probobly could have done it without jacking it up but it was becoming a pain in the ass to get to the lower T-bolt clamp and figured id "make it easier on myself" The Irony is mind boggling. Im just glad the car starts now and I dont have to make a dealer trip after this $400 is gone.

I got a great look at the Throttle body though and snapped a few pics. If i ever wanted to change out the lower IC tubes it would take 2 freakin seconds as im literally staring at both clamps that holt it on. I can put my hand on the throttle body without even bending down.

And i think this wire is what was keeping it from starting. I had my HID ballast mounted here with the ground wire and when i removed the ballast and tightened it down it started

Looks like it goes to the starter? Trace the wire from the right side and you can see

I'm gonna be the first to say it... but your condensor looks fucked too

i gotta test it. If I had a leak detector it would be easy BUTT i dont. and i cant get the AC to blow cold without cranking the car so i gotta wait and see. If i have to change that it needs to go to a shop so they can recharge the system. Nor do i have any tools to disconnect AC lines

evidence as to why i always make sure the "prongs" on the jack are behind the cross member, not on it

damn man! :/

at least the paint is still pristine :) thats a good thing. when i saw that pic and the busted up rad i thought you got into an accident and i was like OH NO!

but its only a radiator, tough luck, but id take a busted rad over ruining a custom paintjob. y'know?

The jack at my house is a tiny little jack, I really should have had a block or something on top of it, but it never had a problem in the past. Apparently it cought up to me and now i had a problem. I really need to get a bigger jack, ill just continue to jack it up from the center section like i normally do too.

exactly lol

put up a wanted in the classifieds here dood, sorry bout your luck too. and that cable grounds your bellhousing and block to the "frame"

Ouuuchhh. :(

so that might have been my problem

well its not that bad, while its apart im gonna go make a bracket for my HID ballasts. gonna go take a ride to the hardware store to find some metal i can bend around the ballasts and drill into the frame. spraybombed my radiator support black while it was laying there. gotta disconnect the fan from the old radiator, and then thats it. Only thing im really worried about is my AC condensor but my gut tells me its alright, but i wont be sure till tommorow, but this is just a minor speedbump that will be solved fairly simply :)

Any1 know a price on the AC Condensor?

Found this:

Looks like OEM, but not OEM and that scares me. In the picture it just looks flipped around, the ports on the top right in the pic need to be on the bottom left. but after you turn it it looks like everything would be right.

Well piss a brick...

that fits man..ull save a TON of money

damn man. at least it didnt mess up the intecooler you got some overspray on haha

lmao its orange and black i know. i didnt tape it up cause it had overspray on it from the 1st time i did the evo mod. so fuck it

1 bracket down

lol thats 4 damn sho. im gonna get it fixed up in the morning, go take a ride and get some buffing compounds and buff the car tommorow in the garage since theres a cruise-in this saturday for my fathers antique car club. They let anybody show up though but last time i went i told a few of the guys i was gonna be painting it so its gotta look impressive. Then thats it, just wired my relays up and im ready to rock out with my cock out

Now im gonna just kick it and play Halo:Reach for the rest of the night. ANybody care to join?

happy cinco de mayo bud...

Yeahhhh if that was connected to the starter and it didnt even click, then that was the problem.

Gotta love GM...

Damn Kevin, bad luck.

Car looks great though.

You need new NSI stickers ;)

Nooooooooo! Fuckin' sucks! Sorry to hear Kevin. Hopefully everything gets fixed ASAP!

hopefully tommorow morning :)
