Yes it was very disapointing that once again your down,we were on the I-95 and Shark's car just blacked out.
It was kinda scary because at night it was hard for him to get the car over to the shoulder if the road with no power and no lights.I had looped around and pulled over behind him and waited for a flatbed$$$$.

What do you think the problem might be??

Did it just shut down on you while driving??

Assume the obviouse has already been looked at (ie battery , connections, alternator)

Going through the car on monday I hope it's not nothing major, My front spoiler got cracked when they were loading it up on the flat bed (that got me pissed beside the fact of being stranded).

Too bad you're taking an AMS built car to another shop...

Good luck with it...

AAHH Yes the wonderful ride on the flatbed. It seems It cannot be done without some form of damage

I just had that ride a few weeks ago , when the #4 cylinder rod decided to exit thru the side of the block

I just hope that Sharkbite does not give up hope as his car is really a nice car - just a lot of loose ends that keep poping up

I think we will have to get Andre 3000 to go over everything on the car carefully to make sure this does not happen again

Its easy to loose the passion for car modification when you have a string of disappointments like this one after the other

Other than having his car towed back to Chicago I don't know what else you would expect him to do ?

I think this is the 4th time this has happend

When he first came out to dyno his car and race BAD BISH the injector plugs poped off we fixed those. he went out to run a second time and then a vacum hose came off and the Throtle Body developed a leak so the car stayed and we fixed that and added a catch can along with a few other minor details

Then he went to Long Island and he broke down when his Tilton clutch stopped working and a local shop out there R & R'd his clutch

Then last night he tried to take the car out for another meeting with Bad Bish and the car just shut down on the side of the highway with some blown fuses


At this point I am starting to think either the car has a voodoo curse on it or many the Bad Bish is playing SABATOGE on the car while sharebite is not watching

It was really a nightmare as he was stuck on a cretain portion of the cross bronx highway that has only one authorized towing service that can do road service - you are kind of at their mercy

That sucks man. Saw your car at TL on friday and it's a sick ride. I hope you get everything resolved soon so you can start to enjoy the car.
