in one year and two weeks time.. it has never NOT been just a one day thing here and there.
Id get into far more details, but i doubt it will help me get a car back, and im currently involved legally in an active state now, so I have to just bite my tongue, but yeah....
it puts my heart rate thru the roof on a daily basis... and is the portion of my daily prayer where i ask for strength to look past this and to live my day with a smile and not think of myself and this stupid car.
I just still dont understand.....how can those involved make this somehow ok in their day...and justify whats happened to me in thier minds.. i just dont understand it at all.
It actually Hurts to have my trust broken so badly.. and to have literally everything i had wrapped up in this, leaving me with nothing left really.
Big lesson to have learned. I knew FI was always a pain, but I dont think anyones had a story like mine so far. It just aint the time to tell it in detail yet unfortunately. Its alot to have to keep inside tho, for sure.

It's not the car, but the turn around time sucks. In addition, it's only going to be more of a pain when something breaks. Hopefully not because of the time it took to get up to this point. You should expect everything to be perfect. As I said before, the time it took is RIDICULOUS. Hang in there. We hope you get your car out soon before August. Most of the other shops would have got this job done in two weeks time considering they ordered the parts asap before the actual tear down. Cmon, GTM, Jotech, Forged, Dynosty, Z1 Motorsports just to name of a few would have made your build less of a pain and you would actually be driving 1 year ago. Keep us posted.

^ lol indeed.. luckily i no longer care. 
My 300T's wheels n tires were delivered today and i bought a crap load of Junction Produce VIP stuff for the interior.. knots, trays, curtains, pads, etc etc..along w swapping headlights around, adding HIDs, and cleaning the engine up.. Ill be 100% busy w this 300T solidly until the Z comes home and kicks the 300T out of the garage.
luckily, the VIPd car scene here in town is FAR bigger than i assumed.. its really pretty cool.. and theres ZERO attitudes in that crowd. Always nice for an "old guy" like me lol.

It is kinda an odd angle. Are you still going to be running with the Veilside front bumper? If so, could you run a duct to the cooler from one or both of the holes on the driver side of the bumper?
P.S. Glad to see some progress on your ride Brian.

@ Rudy.. for sure.. man.... i know aside from the RX, all these legacy cars will be gone out of there except yours! lol.. youre next! .. Jorges car is gone, the stupid Viper is gone.. pretty cool to finally see it clearing out.
werd, yeah i am running the VS, i guess i do have an oil temp gauge lol.. if its not bueno, i can easily buy one of those sicky-something-or-other ebay vent and fitting kits and stick it in its face.. should do me fine.
yeah its getting close. Will be cool to ahve it back.
Now that ive taken a step back , i think these CF doors are going bye bye.
Ill prob get back in touch w abushong and get em out to him, guess he wanted them.
Just too much going on w this car lol.. i think those door panels were installed out of pure boredom while sitting im last years "garage prison solitary".
