Yep which is why I have waited. I have everything minus push rods, main and rod bearings, and a few gaskets for the engine. I still need a fuel pump which I am going to get the Deatschwerkz D300 probably, well two of them eventually.

Had it in the shop getting the pinon seal replaced and while there someone thought they would take my WS-6 badge off the back, they must of wanted it to because they scratched the back up all to hell. Lucky for me though the shop manager said they would pay for the repairs.
:bat: Good to hear that the shop is taking care of it for you.
Well I making some good progress, need to make a new mount for the catch can and a few odds and ends and it should be ready to fire. But not untill I get the brain back from Frost and with the Holliday I figure Tuesday or Wednesday

read the updates in my 8.8 thread....:burnout::woo::woo::woo::nana::nana:
Ordered a set of CCW 505A wheels 19x10 for the front and 19x11 in the rear painted hyperblack with Continental extreme contact DW 275 front and 305 rear. Can't wait to get them
She's Alive....finished mounting and pluming catch can, installed fresh from Frost PCM, fixed a minor fuel leak at the pressure gauge, everything looks and sounds right. Now if the rain goes away I might get to drive it...

Was able to get the car out for a short drive after the intake swap last evening and she ran great. Seemed crisp and pulled nice through midrange.:thumbup:
Driving down to see Frost tomorrow morning to finally get my dyno tune. I cant wait to see what kinda numbers it's gonna put down.
ordered new pads and rotors...gonna paint my calipers when I pull the wheels off.
bleed the brakes, fill the rear, looked over once more before dropping her. Start her up and let her idle and just as I get ready to pull out the garage....
it starts raining like a :shitstorm: FU nature!!!!

at least she moved under her own power. Getting her back up the driveway was a major bitch. Still needs more tuning and getting the revs right to be able to move it let alone up an 25* incline while it's raining. Challenge accepted.
