Im surprised everyone's so down on my car. I've really had no major issues until this incident. Even so, a blown HG is hardly something to sell a car over. It was my mistake for allowing it to run lean. Not the cars. Everything I've done to the car has been very minor. Alternator, Driveshaft, exahust manifold studs, transmission bolts turbo upgrade, clutch upgrade, fuel upgrades, tires... Nothing serious. I still need to do new injectors (as two are cracked pretty bad) and all new bushings around the car.
You'll need it!!!

I do not think everybody is down on the 280. It's just that if we go back through the last 10 threads that you have put up at least 7 of them have you talking about some type of problem with the car. Example: intercooler piping coming off, Boost problems, clutch problems ect. However I'm not down on the Z it just seems that either that thing is very problematic or else it's just taking you an extremely long time to work the bugs out of it.

Boost issue should be fixed now, that was the main one.
The lean conditions are caused by my cracked injectors, Im 80% sure. The clutch, is obviously fixed.
That only took a month or two to do, because Im a broke SOB. The piping, well you gota expect that when running 20psi, and not having good clamps on it. I just flanged the pipes, and haven't had problems with that pipe yet. All of the problems are very limited, and isolated.
