[QUOTE="josephcostello, post: 16898315, member: 165586"] Just wanted to update those who have followed this closely. I know this has been a disappointing thread for a few of you guys who've followed this since day 1 and tbh when I come home and see the car sitting just how I left it a year it's hard for me as well. Well yesterday I drove the car to charge the battery and put fresh gas in it. On my way back up the driveway I heard a ticking/slight knock. I know the car had oil in it so I took the belt off and I isolated the sound to the supercharger. Sounds like the snout bearing is bad. I haven't checked the oil and frankly don't think I will. At this point the car is not going to be driven anymore. I'm moving out to Houston this week for 5 months and think i'm going to settle in Austin late summer. I think this is all a message from the car to get off my a** and finish it. I'm not going to make promises of what i'm going to do because frankly I need to forget about it for a bit and focus on my work. I am going to promise three things: the car is going to be back apart after mid September, I'm replacing the blower and not putting another eaton on the car, and THE CAR IS GOING TO BE FINISHED. I could type out a 2 page list of everything I don't like about the car/wish I did different - all of which will be addressed. Until then, we all have to wait. I love this car and I can't wait to finish it. Heard the rumor of an SVTP event sometime next year, this car will be there. [ATTACH type="full"]1788018[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
