Message	The build was done right by the right builder(Ash), and with the right parts, "I thought." Its the damn aftermarket parts that has given me the problems...The 555 injectors was the first recurring problem due to the "ethanol change" and now its the damn aftermarket electric fan... Choose wisely when doing your build. I have alot of cash spent in the expensive mods and spared no expense when picking which was best for my build and best for the longevity of my Z. I chose to keep it "streetable" yet not over the threshold of reliability. I didnt cheap out in any way and when buying what you think is the "right" manufacturer, I came to realize that their is alot more "junk" out there than I thought... In conclusion, I love the hell out of my Z's, always have, always will. Pm(preventive mainenance) has always been done on my cars. The crap aftermarket parts is the problem, but at the time, I thought I was choosing wisely. Do your homework on manufacturers. This is the key to the "right" parts imo...... http://www.members.aol.com/eriksu9/images/1badz.jpg" BORDER=0>Sold: 1986 Yamaha FJ1100 1987 Nissan 300zx na(Z31) 1979 280ZX 2+2 1972 MGB 1968 Pontiac Firebird 1972 Nissan 240Z, dual webber carbs, etc
