I believe installation is starting this week. The KW V3's as well as the '06+ LightWerkz headlights shipped out. Also added the SPL front upper arms, rear camber arms and eccentric lockout kit. Oh and my Toyo R888's were delivered yesterday to EVS Motors. Still no word back on my HRE's.

Looks like everything is getting closer to completion. The KW coil overs should be delivered today at PowerFab. Just received pictures of the headlights; http://www.lightwerkz.net/news/2012/...lear-lens-mod/ Now if I can just get my damn Entry-Visa so I can come home and enjoy my car it would be perfect!

Gotcha. Im in the same boat but my tuner Said to go with a twin hanger so I'm not sure. Says I can probly get 550 on 93. I have a meth kit I haven't installed so I may go with that instead of e85. Does power fab say the 340lph is enough?

Yes the Aeromotive will be fine. I have a buddy who's old TT-Z was built/sleeved/and making 600+ before spray using the Aeromotive fuel pump.

Just talked with PowerFab...

The engine is on the stand getting timed and prepped to go in this week. The HalTech unit should arrive Wednesday. The SPL rear arms are to arrive in 1-2 weeks do to back order. Should hopefully start receiving some pictures as everything get installed.

Personal note... I went ahead and canceled my R&R for April. Still no word on Iraq starting up issuing entry Visas.

I had been looking at some steering wheels but a good friend convince me since my Z will see more street time than track to stick with the OEM wheel, airbag. Well.... Just so happens I found this FS and went ahead and picked it up. The CF was completed by Custom CF Creations.
