Thats good to know Will. It would be great to have a big build completed by one shop that close by, and especially if any problems occur after the build.

nevermind....forgot you were waiting on tires.

1.8t · January 17th, 2013, 10:09 AM

Tires were delivered yesterday and probably will be put on today, but it is raining like its Oregon down here so no driving on these to go to the dyno. Tomorrow is a zero percent chance of rain so I REALLY want this wrapped up by the end of tomorrow so I can get the car back.

That's what we all tell ourselves to try and take the sting out of the wait.

No updates today and I don't know why. The tires were there since Wednesday and today was perfect weather, but the car didn't make it to the dyno. I am being told tomorrow morning and I plan on being present to see how it runs.

Reason for delay, I heard a dually pulled up in front loaded down with plenty of beer and fat chicks. Seems there is a redneck orgy going on today.

Gun controle is needed in our country. Don't be racest. This is a paid advertisement from your local communist official.

Update update

1.8t · January 19th, 2013, 07:56 AM

Just was told today is up in the air as well(to me this means pretty much not happening). Very frustrating.

plumcrazy · January 19th, 2013, 08:12 AM

patience grasshopper...patience

1.8t · January 19th, 2013, 08:16 AM

The big thing for today is I could be present and give a first hand account of how the car ran. Was pretty excited for that.

Anarchy99 · January 19th, 2013, 08:30 AM

I really dont understand why they cant just finish up your car, it just needs a tune right?

plumcrazy · January 19th, 2013, 08:30 AM

they going to tune on the street too , not just dyno right ?

1.8t · January 19th, 2013, 08:42 AM

Yes street pulls will be made to verify the tune.

Anarchy, correct. The tune is already half way there so it "shouldn't" take much longer to get it 100%. There appears to be coordination conflicts between ARD and RSI.

1badvr4 · January 19th, 2013, 08:49 AM

Your build seemed like it took less time than most . I would rather have a car back a few days later that runs perfect than one that is rushed.

1.8t · January 19th, 2013, 08:53 AM

Not asking for it to be rushed, just want accurate information.

Disturbed 01 · January 19th, 2013, 10:44 AM

Can't wait to see this thing done. I am wondering how it will drive (ie on your way to the track). Also so how it feels between low boost/high boost. And....we all want to see you beat up on a few bikes.

ttviperman · January 21st, 2013, 02:05 PM

So have you heard any updates? Wondering if youve been able to drive it with the new tires on it and how different they feel compared to the ps2 runflats you had on it. My 04' is having a new engine build and tt build at RSI now and I have the original old and hard ps2's on it but Will talked me into putting Nittos all the way around. Makes me wonder if they will even get a good dyno out of it with tt's and hard tires??? lots of wheel spin I figured. Anxious to hear your outcome.

1.8t · January 21st, 2013, 03:12 PM

Just got an update. The tires made a world of difference, but remote tuning was causing issues with the variable nature of the A/F ratio and after numerous back and forths, RSI has decided to fly Jeremy to Atlanta to deal with the car hands on.
