Too much. But what an experience it would be to drive your own car on the Nordschleife.

yeah i will definitely be looking in to this. I wonder how much it would cost to drive on the track? luckily my car is getting shipped free by the Army. I hear that from Vicenza you can see the Alps so I imagine some good driving is not far away.

wow I didn't realize it was that much. I had considered leaving my car at Forged for a while for a motor build and then having it shipped over when completed, but damn that amount makes it not even worth it.

Hey I just realized that I never shared the cause of the oil filter popping off. Take a look at the attached pic. It compares my current Mocal adapter threads (in gold) with the one I was running originally (in silver, which failed). Both are supposedly 20 mm. The silver is not as beefy and definitely smaller. I supplied this part to Sharif - saved myself $30 over the Greddy . Just another reason not to use customer supplied parts. Now I have the Mocal and Greddy adapters in series - rock solid (for sensors and oil cooler). The Greddy and Mocal threads are identical. That generic silver one I got from Summit Racing! grrrr.

EDIT: Sorry for the O/T Dil, but it's all related to you, since its about your event bro!

it is amazing how such a small/cheap part can ring a high performance/expensive machine to a halt in a hurry. Glad to see you discovered the cause.

The price I paid gave me my own container and was shipped out the next day to arrive on a set schedule. It did not sit at the port for weeks waiting for a spot. Just like trucking a car from TX to GA. You can pay $600 open transport or $1300 close transport.

You get what you pay for....

Car runs pretty good, has small issues with the tunes. But that will all be taken care off this weekend, I am going to Forged again so Sharif can re-tune.

I would also like to add more fuel and increase boost, but I need a solution for the fuel pump, and am not fully sold on the cjm product.
