Well parts are still floating out there. Hopefully I have EVERYthing soon. Bumped up the car drop-off date two weeks.

EDIT: Was hoping to get it in two weeks but shop has another project so only a week early now.

So your car will sit for a week after it has already been started?

No... They will start it on the 8th. Giving it to them a week early just gives them more time. They won't be rushed to give it back to me so I can enjoy it before I head back to Kuwait. Gives them a full two weeks if I pick it up on the 22nd.

Well the last of the parts (HKS SSQV, ARC V2 catch can, & correct guages) should be here by next Monday. Yesterday the Cosworth was dropped off for polishing and should have it back in a week or two. March 8th car is going to get dropped off and thinking (hoping) March 21st or 22nd will be putting her on the rollers for tuning. Just need to pick up some fluids. Thinking I'm just going to run some Mobil 1 and save the cash for Amsoil till I'm home driving the car everyday.

Those dates may be a tad bit on the optimistic side i think.

My shop told me 7-10 days to do the install. And yes they installed 5-10+ kits on the Z and G.

Bro I would wait on polishing that plenum! They will not warranty it if there is anything wrong with it (i.e leaking). I just received my plenum back from Cosworth because it was leaking, they said they fixed it and all was good. Well guess what, it's still leaking. If you polish it and it leaks like mine your phucken stuck with a dud!.
