Argh!!!
 
I swaer if it aint one thing it's another. Here's the story so far.

Epic gets painted and all is well with the world but i decided she needed a tune up and take her to Midas.

:mad: They can't get her on thier lift :mad:

So i decide to do it myself. Figured while I'm at it mod a bit. Goes under a 2 month long over haul (headers, plugs, wires, opti, knock module, air foil).

:mad: Car wont start :mad:

Take it to dealership, say the fuel pump is bad, the alternator is weak and the opti's timeing is off. Gets fixed and car runs.

:mad: water pump fails :mad:

Buy a new water pump off ebay and install it. All is well so i decide to install the sequential tail lights i've had sitting for months. And get it working.

:mad: Car wont stop blowing fuses :mad:

So here i sit. Epic runs but has no lights. I figure it's a short in the wireing from the tail-lights.... but which one. I'll figure it out but geez, if it aint one thing it's another. I knwo whats going to happen, I'll figure the fuse issue and the alternator will fail on me. :banghead:

But Epic "looks" good. :rolleyes:

you're crazy....look on the bright side, at least she's getting all this done now rather than breakin down on the freeway or something with you without a cell phone....and yes...yes she does look pretty!

I know what Im about to say may have nothing to do with this but...


LS1 swap :)

I could just see Epic with a LS1.........*drool* Your LT1 may be just hating u due to the fact u upgraded the front end.

/ends "has nothing to do with topic talk"

just shows how some people arent made to touch cars...

i think you should buy a TA. my z28 was the same, problem after problem, my TA...besides clutch and rear end...which were due to the previous owner who showed no love at all...no problems at all!

yea i know how that sucks thats just how it seems to be alot of times with cars cause ive noticed i get annoyed by the little stuff that most people wouldnt even hear or notice so in reality i think we all make more work for ourselves cause we hear every little problem lol while other people are just blissfuly ignorant :lolsign:

69z-28 08-09-2006 10:19 AM

put it aside for a week or two. it will only help the matter to get it out of your thoughts if you really need to.

paarman97maro 08-09-2006 11:02 AM

Yeah I hear you on that shorting problem... Ive had mine for a year now, but its not as bad in the summer... and I have no idea why.

camaro94 08-09-2006 06:32 PM

I almost didn't make it to CSF because of some wild little electrical malfunction. Luckily we got it all worked out about 1 day before we left. I knw where you're coming from. The past year, I'ave had to got lots of things on the car that it really needed but were setting it back. It still needs some stuff now, but I'm holding off cause I don't drive it that much right now and the stuff ain't cheap.
