Default Return of the Jedi

Look out mother fuckers! I'm getting my car back today!

I was just about to give up (after 2nd tranny fucked up!) and do a manual conversion. That way I could fix any transmission problems alot easier and cheaper.

Then I found out that I could get a beefed up automatic for about the same price as another remanufactured tranny. (I just have to go to the Better Business Bureau to get the cheapskate company to reimburse me for the last tranny they improperly installed). Since, the automatic 300ZX is already quicker than the manual, and I still have to deal w/ Beltway traffic daily, this was a no-brainer.

I'll have a complete spec list of the transmission upgrades when I pick up the car today.

So far I know the following was done:
- stronger valve bodies
- shift kit
- adjusted torque converter for racing/performance (will have details later)
- upgraded transmission cooler
- dial-in line pressure (like the HKS ALC)
- shit, I'm so excited that I forgot everything else. I'll reveal details after I get the car back.


If any of you believe in God, please pray for me that I don't fuck this one up. I can't afford any more down-time or credit card abuse!

See ya on the streets!

When it comes to cars, I need more than luck. Haven't had any luck with cars since I first started driving. Maybe that will change now. We'll see....

I was thinking of reaking havoc and causing chaos but taking over the world is cool with me too.

BTW, glad to hear that Eric, now let's hit the track!
