he got it friday at 11am, but no update yet. prolly hear from him monday.

i swear this car sits more then it runs lol.

hell, i just talked with my insurance agent and he reccomeneded haggerty insurance, specialty insurance lol.

hoping to get it up and running soon. weather is gonna start cooling off a bit soon and i want to enjoy that!

 

update:

stiegmeier confirmed the nose drive gears ate it. says the rotor shaft seals might be bad too. waiting to hear back from him.

when shit breaks i break it right!

 

It seems odd that just the nose drive gears are toast..

thats an odd thing to toast unless the oil leaked out.. we've toasted ALOT of blowers and the only time we had that problem was when the mess leaked.

 

yeah, i honestly have no idea how the F it happened, cuase he commented when my blower was apart how good the nose drive was. so he didnt rebuild it and sent it back to me. sucks, sucks hard core right now.

side note, the vibrant ultra quiet resonator came in. too bad the car is crippled, so no going to local place to get installed just yet.

 

Sucks, this has been a crappy year for us s2k guys.

 

no doubt dude. worst part is i broke mine at half the power you made!!!!!!

next year, 500whp or bust

 

sooooo, heres an update:

after not getting anyone on the phone since monday, i realized i was calling a number of theres that doesnt get answered and the voicemail doesnt get checked. thanks iphone for making it easy to return calls from voicemail screen, and dial the number they called me from, and it not be the main number. <SIGH>

anyways, spoke to bob today, and he agreed the drive failed. great, now we are both on the same page. he didnt realize i was spinning it at 18k+, and thinks that did it in. well, it was fine previously, soooo, i still tend to think something went wrong with assembly. he is fixing it and it should be in my hand by next weekend.

will follow up on how it goes. till then, car sits yet another week

if you had asked me 5+ years ago if i was gonna have my s2k spend more time in the garage then on the road i never woulda said yes. but in the last 2.5 years it has seen
11k miles, and 6600 of that is dragon trips.

 

well, first i didnt let the fact i picked up a new daily driver stop me from installing the blower the night it came in. so the rebuilt rebuilt bitch is in. and now the f#$#@$#@G battery is D E D dead. its on a 10 amp charger and i am hoping i can just get it started so i can let it idle for 30 mins. stupid car. why do i like you so much!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

couldnt push start? lol

 

Got it started and idled for bout hour. So far so good. Blower sounds louder then I remember but it's been forever. Guess will know soon enough.
