Time to make some changes.....

Not to totally spin off, but mine was and does sit and I got to thinking, you know, why DONT I drive it... I made a list and am knocking those things off. Clean up the tune, e85, tires, making time, ride height, etc. I figure if I clear up my mental list, and still don't drive it, it may be time to let someone else enjoy her.

I hear ya! I’ve thought about putting a milder cam in mine and a lower stall. I am going to have a local guy work on a street tune. I think Rick just whizzed through mine because he knew I wasn’t racing and it has issues with drivability.
I don’t have any proof of that of course, but everyone RAVES about his tunes and mine is anything but worth raving about. My car pops trans codes which locks the trans from shifting above 3rd and bucks like a bronco down hill with the stall locked.

This is what I did to my stroker engine two years ago, and I enjoy the car much better.

You better keep your g8, though, how else are you going to transfer tennis balls a few thousand at a time? :-)

It was only 105, or so. I have a mental list as well, not a mentalist.

I hear you. I talked to a shop in Austin. Got a few referrals and said they were good. Tried to talk to them in email and I was having a 3 way conversation with the guy and his wife. They need to learn how to CC each other. Then failed to quote me on a fuel pump change. I prefer to go with people I know. This way I know it will be done right.
If I was in Indiana still, Mike Norris would get the car. Mike will be here next week, but not to work on anything.
There is still an option on me driving it and flying home. Waiting on conversations with Carl.

Please tell me it wasn't 747 Garage. If you were talking to them, stay far away. Also I agree with your vote of no Livernois. They are all bark, no bite.

I don’t remember who it was now. The car is going to Doug Hilliard. I know and trust him. Rick will finish the tune. I’ll most likely tow it out there and come home.

They’ll take a big bite out of your wallet

I am in the same situation. The stroker is badass,just some drivability issues. I just need a 3.45 diff to eat up some of the cam.

I honestly think Rick needs the car to make it perfect. Dyno tune is spot on , however we don’t drive on a dyno

Has anyone dealt with transporting a car?

I sent my G8 to Phoenix from Indianapolis $800
I used Bullfrog
The best thing to do is get a shipping quote from one company. Then the brokers will blow up your email. Start playing one broker against another, they will drop their price.
I would ship it, fly in to pick it up.
If you time it right you could catch a day or two of HRPT on your way back.

Kewl! Glad it's not just me! We have a local guy here that has proven very reliable so him and I will do a little driving around town this spring after I get it all back together.

Ordered the JMS booster today and a tow bar for my Chevy truck.
