NEW CAR...kinda

[Jeff]

Here is something funny to discuss. I took a closer look at the "custom" turbo oil line on the car before trying to start it last night. I followed this line and discovered that it dosen't even go to the turbo. It is hooked into the oil out TO the turbo but goes around and hooks into the back of the block. After a bit of book research I discovered that the point at which it connected to the block was COOLANT OUT TO THE TURBO!!! So these morons connected the oil system to the coolant system...leaving no oil or coolant to the turbo...only outs. This explains the mudd-butt in the radiator and the engine. So now what to do...it's a POS... I think we are gonna buy the 89 Shelby tomorrow and junk this one. A fender to the 89, tranny to the omni, and the rest of the junk to parts. It will have been worth $400 for the tranny and fender, not to mention all the other parts we will sell . It is however sad to see the Z go (89 dropped the Z and is just "Shelby")
