you can hang in there. but that's really nothing compared to what some have waited for regarding parts and what not. I still have 4 weeks to go before my dyno tune. I'm getting impatient.

3 days downtime is pretty funny.....try 6 months juggling a travel intensive job and time for the car only when available (rarely available). I understand though

LOL, i ended up going with the t3/t04E 57 trim w/ .48 a/r, the .63 was a little too big for my app.

hopefully it will be worth the wait

That's why I have a header and DP for NA sitting in storage. Think what you'll need ahead of time.

down time to me is where you have the money but your parts are not readily available, it is not a "time factor" or "money factor" to me. i have plenty of time for my project and enough money to get it done. this is not a project drag car.

if that makes sense?

3 days is nothing, try 8 months, now that sucks. then try putting everything together, then waiting for a techedge wideband from australia. they dont offer shipping tracking or anything, it just kinda shows up

It's only been like 5 days and I'm already getting restless. I can't wait until friday night, I'll have my injectors and resistor box and have the time to get everything installed. Hopefully it all goes well, as I'll be making the trek over the mountains the next day to go to the NW H-T meet... *crosses fingers and hopes nothing goes wrong either day*
