| ...was the very same day the old motor in Michael's TT Slicktop finally failed due to it's old style poorly designed Weisco pistons. We were waiting for him to show up at the shop when we got the cell phone call, he was stranded on the side of the freeway half way to work. Rav went and traded cars with him so Michael could finish preparations for the marathon swap, and then an hour or so later Rav arrives in the tow truck with dead Z behind. Because of this we didn't get started until noon, and therefore didn't fire the car up until 1AM on Easter morning (we probably woke up a few neighbors, damn was that loud with just the down pipes, but damn did it sound good!!! =). Watch the School Of Swap video, and in the last few minutes as the tow truck drops off the dead Z you can just barely see my blue 2+2 in a few of the shots, all ready to pull into the garage which is where this marathon swap video begins. Also coincidentally, yesterday we test drove my Z for the first time with the new motor (because recall that the motor installed in the Marathon Swap video exploded). So a new RacerZX update coming soon once we get the new motor broken in and verify all is well with the new mill.
