LS-Ace

Well book number 1 is here. Time to get to studying…

Covers off.. Paint still on point after all of those years sitting? I would call that a win. Time to get her in the garage and start getting everything prepped to go back together!

I have a little book coming later that will help me big time on this journey I’m about to embark on.

This new setup is strictly to take off some heads 🙃

It’s been a while….

The lift plate for my LS3 will be here the beginning of next week! Time to get another engine stand and see how bad the damage is…

Between moving back and forth to Florida and the s**tuation I was put in from “that shop” that built the car I have not had a chance or the motivation to look at this for a while.

I really wish I had a garage back when I was ready to do the build but s**t happens just have to learn from it and move on. Going to be changing the setup a little bit as I put it back together but best believe it’s going to be fun. Will definitely be going with a different transmission since Krysienski has been in the bushes ever since so I think I’m going to go with Auto this time around…. 🤔

Time to tear this thing down and build it back up the right way!

😡😡😡 Wasn't planning for this type of rebuild! BUT After Dave Krysienski from EFX Tuning (Now krysien_speed or some nonsense) decided to shut down out of the blue and leave me to pick up a car that is now missing a 35k 1LE 6 Speed transmission, brand new McLeod RXT Clutch/Flywheel, New Slave Cylinder w/ Tick Speed Bleeder, and hopefully no other odds and ends in the process, I guess we are going to have to start from square one.

It is bad enough that their lack of care was the reason my car was back there in the first place. Continuous oil leaks, major blow-by and car would cut off at redline (he said the car was supposed to do that- we all know that is not the case). I took consistent data logs and didn't get past that stage because I didn't feel right about the car before it eventually s**t the bed after hardly 700 miles. I had sent datalogs millions of times showing the difference between when I got it and how rich it was already running and he said it was supposed to run at that AFR (which is correct but he told me he leaned on the tune-which is verified by initial datalog on the first day I received it) and refused to put the car on the dyno to take a look at it no matter how much I offered him.

Feed line leaked (I had to correct it), drain line leaked (I had to correct it), front main seal started to come out (they corrected it from the outside) and said everything else was good and shipped it out of the door. Not even a couple of weeks later on a 3rd gear pull the engine let go before it even hit redline- luckily where I was I was able to coast back to my house where it sat until it was picked up.

On that day he said he was going to pick the car up and "make everything right"- now I understand this comes with me paying for parts and additional labor for things I may add but wanted me to pay over 1500 for them to take the engine out and tell me my crank let go- which I had suspected and told them from the beginning due to my nice "Stripper Glitter Surprise". On top of that it was a diagnostic fee but they didn't even look at the whole engine so had no clue what else could have been wrong or messed up so nothing was diagnosed other than it needs to be diagnosed :smh:.

Finally tired I just said whatever we gotta do to get this car on the road just let me know. He told me that they were busy and it would take about a month or so before they could get started. A week later I get an EMAIL of all things from the site saying they were shutting down business (as if he wouldn't have known the week prior- thing is then I would have been able to get it personally and he knew that but nonetheless here we are).

Could not get in touch with the guy and luckily was able to contact someone that was able to get me in touch with someone else so that I could send someone to pick up my car. That is when I was told that "they accidentally sold the transmission" (this party had nothing to do with it so nothing but respect for them).

Since then both Dave and his other contact won't respond, blocked me from his new IG page lol and I'm sitting here having to build over. S**t happens but karma is a mfer. I never gave anything but my utmost trust and respect and would even have them source the parts to get the business knowing I could get things cheaper elsewhere.

This spring starts the rebuild.

The comeback is going to be savage 😈

That is all for now.... 😂
