Yup! So not much further than Jersey.

Just sayin, haha

 

Well, as long as we're still heading south, I hear VMP in Florida is good too

 

Torch, how long diid the entire procedure take, if you can recall ?

 

Some good tuners over in Cali too

lolz

 

Soldering up the connector, 10-15 min, replacing the wheel maybe 20-30min

 

The Koni FSD shocks/struts are in. Gold wouldn't be my first color choice for suspension parts, but I have to say the paint finish on these is nicer than some new cars I've seen.

 

Will do. The little dial makes it super-easy to set the torque. The only thing to remember is that the PI only torques clockwise, so you can't use it on reverse-thread bolts or for loosening. Not that I have ever used a torque wrench for loosening stuck bolts...

 

I hear you on the loosening part with a tq wrench.

Only time I used one was for my spark plugs when I took them out the first time. After it clicked at 30, i decided to hike up my skirt and just use the breaker bar.

Much better that way.

 

they are right down 146 in douglas. I had put my car on the dyno for a benchmark like I previously said. After the 3 pulls I had started talking about rebuilding the motor and putting a S/C on just to get some more information about how I should go about the build. What they wanted to do was machine my stock block (would have costed 5,000-7,000). then do pistons, cams, rods, etc and even swapping out the PI heads. (additional 3,000). Once I heard this I was so disappointed because I was going to spend 8-10g on just rebuilding my motor. and the projected horsepower was only 300-315

 

Oops...TOTALLY missed this post way back when.

Last week I got an update - build date finally scheduled for 6/11 with an ETA of 6/19. I'm not going to bank on that ETA since I've seen people have theirs extended from 2-4 weeks if it gets selected for a quality check.

So it looks like going elsewhere won't be necessary after all. But since you asked , I'm getting:

V6 Base Coupe
Black paint
Black interior
Performance Package
Reverse Sensing/Security Package
