Well mine will continue to be very much stock looking...as long as you don't open up the hood, or make me hit the throttle.

...next thing will be a new front bumper to get rid of the stupid license plate and rock dent that mocks me everytime I see it.

However for now, as it has been in the past, performance first.

 

Forgot to post up...Supercooler came in the mail this morning with all the necessary bits and pieces. The car is loaded up with all of the parts and I will be heading to Long Island tomorrow to drop the car off, then taking the train back into the city and then back to NJ.


...but hey, at least I am going to stop at the NY Auto Show on my way back. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

 

So you're driving the car to Houston? Will it be put together by then?

 

Hey bud, what time are you going to be in long island tomorrow?

I know this is a little late and I haven't been following this thread too well, but I was thinking about heading to Captree tomorrow morning. It's a nice collection of cars that show up early, very similar to cars and coffee.

Thought you'd might like to join... That and I'd like to see your 6 before you turn it into a real beast!!!

If anything I'm only 15 minutes from TTM, so hit me up if you need a ride to the train station or anything

Ron

 

Yes, and yes...Bruce at TTM will be doing the install this week. Dropping it off tomorrow morning, picking it up the following Sunday.

 

Ron, I have to be at TTM at 10am tomorrow. So I am probably leaving here around 8am. That may be a bit late for a C&C type show on Long Island tomorrow. If you want to stop by TTM and shoot the sh*t then I can definitely do that.

I will be taking the train back into the city so I am not on any real firm schedule.

Also, sent you a PM.

 

Quick update...no pictures yet, though I have been told lots of them have been taken. I'm sure I will be spending lots of time Sunday night reviewing, re-sizing, and uploading them.

Last night I got an e-mail from Bruce. His e-mail said he would call me in the morning and wanted to bring a few things to my attention I was scared out of my mind, I had no clue what the issue was, whether it was small, big, or catastrophic...so I told him to call me last night, didn't matter what time.


...so he called a little bit later, and was laughing. Turns out he realized how I could have misconstrued the e-mail he sent quickly and it wasn't a big deal. He just wanted to let me know that a radiator clip was missing, and the radiator hose clip that clips to the oil cooler was missing (I know I broke this a while back), and the transmission dipstick cap was missing...

At this point I am incredibly relieved. No big deal. I told him to take care of it and we are on still on track.


I will say this, and it has been said before I know. Rob went way out of his way to help me get parts to Bruce in a short amount of time, to accomodate my schedule. He has been nothing but helpful during this whole process. Bruce at TTM has been fantastic as well, willing to chat about anything you want to put your mind at ease that he is the right man for the job, and that he will make things roar when he is done.

I am looking forward to getting the car back and seeing all of the pictures of the car broken down and such. I will be picking the car up on Sunday in Long Island.

I think Ron (AZN440) may come join me out there to see the finished product...anyone else is welcome to join as well. Good times will be had, that is for sure.

 

Does anybody know if ZAHANMA PICKED HIS CAR UP ? WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PICTURES OF ALL HIS NEW MODS.

 

Sorry, I definitely picked up my car...unfortunately two days later, I had to drive almost 1800 miles from NJ to TX.

Just got home on Saturday afternoon and haven't had a chance to sit down and upload all of the pictures and right the story...there sure if a lot of pictures.

I will try to get to it this week...believe me I haven't forgotten about anyone.

I've been following as well, and would like to hear about his new performance. He probably picked it up and took for a drive ............... and hasn't come back yet.

 

Here is a teaser picture. The only one I had on my phone, the rest are on my regular camera.

This is what she looks like all buttoned up.

Matt, that is AWESOME!

I fully expect your Calipers to have the same color/quality to bring it all together

 

Thanks...soon enough they will match. I will probably hold off on that until I have to replace the pads/rotors...to get it all done at the same time. Fortunately that time is coming soon. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It really looks awesome in person. The matching catch can is a great addition in my opinion.

 

Thanks for the update, looks great. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

That is hot looking for sure. Very nice. Will TTM be making fuel x-over kits for the rest of us copy cats?

 

Yes, I believe he will be. I am not sure on the schedule of when he will be starting to sell them officially.

The price I last heard from him will be around $850 for the 550cc injectors and the looped fuel rail.

 

Hope you can come to TMS in May
I'll be there and would love to see you and those mods in person

Gary

 

If possible, would love to see a closeup of the new rail x-over where it joins the drivers side rail end.

 

+1!

Very nice, now you need a translucent polycarbonate hood

 

I'll see what I can do. The car is most likely going back in the shop this weekend to fix a vacuum leak and dial in the tune a bit more...

Unfortunately, I also picked up a slow leak on my right front tire on the 1,800 mile drive...so new tires will be going on tomorrow once they arrive. That is definitely first things first as Jerry can't really tune it and get god datalogs if he is having to worry about filling up a darn slow leak.
