Not sure but the best way to find out is to call Alan - (510) 839-1992

Yep. So far so good. I'm a bit worried about my hood though. Ran into some fitment issues & had to remove my OEM strut bar because the hood was hitting it. I just PM'd the vendor to inform him of this.

Oh okay. I was just wondering why the hell you kept on calling me "Jamie". Hahaha. Reminds me of those old folks who keep calling you a different name each time they see you. LOL. Where did you see this at? I don't think I ever read anyone calling me "Jamie" on MySpace. Oh well...at least I know why now

Yeah. They did delay mine a bit as well but after going through several months of waiting with my kit, this is nothing. I just told them to make sure they do it right. That to me is more important.

James,
Keep us up onthe fitment issues with your hood, & the removing of your OEM strut bar because the hood was hitting it. Like to know what the solution will be, hopefully be able to get it back on. Once yours is done, I'll have to get with you and Bobby, as I will no doubt want to do the same. By the way, My APS TT came in yesterday. Got it and the Koyo radiator, and a couple other things in. Got to get the gauges yet and the jwt cluthch/flywheel, than it will go to Rob for install. Bodywork is next. As you said earlier, pray they get the carb approval soon. We're good for 4 years anyway.

Hey Warren,

Will do. Glad you finally got your APS kit. You'll definitely have a blast once you get that all put together & Rob is definitely the man that can do it for you. Let us know how it goes. Yeah, I'm thinking of getting their TT or ST setup but I'm personally holding back until they get CARB. I just don't want to risk spending that much & risk having to pull it out if they don't but that's just me. Until then, I'm slowly building my internals & getting everything else that will work N/A but will also work when I go FI such as the Flywheel, Clutch, Radiator, Plenum, Cams, etc...I think this would just give me something to look forward to later on . Good luck & happy modding!

Yeah, took a few good shots while they were waxing it so you can see the actually beauty of it without the shop dust. I'll be picking it up this Saturday though since they're going to repaint the hood since they made a few scratches on it when they were cutting the vents. Then, they'll pop out all my dents & fix that big gash I got on July 4th located on my rear fender.

Here's some more pics (I'll start a new thread w/ photoshoot pics when the car is completely done):

Enjoy!

Thanks bro. Yeah, slowly but surely. As I told Warren up top, I don't want to commit yet unless they have a CARB. In the mean time, I'll slowly build it up with parts I can use both N/A & when/if I go FI. So...uh...mood...when are you going to order your Blitz Wing bro ?

nice pics!
you should def. go FI now, the front bumper looks kinda bare without a nice intercooler. don't worry bout smog, there are ways around it. and plus you wouldn't have to deal with smog for awhile.

as for the spoiler, instead waiting for eternity for the blitz, why not the data systems?
i know where in Norcal where you can get one (painted SS too)!
