He said "not sure quite yet", which means he hasn't started it. I asked if it will at least be finished by the end of this week and he said he doesn't know (sounds too familiar since the machine shop wouldn't give me a deadline). So the waiting game continues...
Here is the list of all the mods I can think of that I've bought during the 6+ month downtime (motor failed November 30th):
- Port and polished heads
- Comp cam
- All necessary supporting mods: Manley oversized valves, springs, retainers, etc.
- BBK throttle body
- Belanger headers
- Custom exhaust (will be built when I get the car back)
- Custom crankcase tank (will be built when I get the car back)
- SCT Tuner (will be tuned by Todd at A&C Performance once the exhaust is fabbed)
- Eurotech CF front lip
- 19"/20" HRE 542R (matte black center/gloss black lip)
- Snakeskin Green calipers with black lettering
- Snakeskin Green fender emblems
- Snakeskin Green rear bumper emblems
- Snakeskin Green radio/shifter surround
- Lloyd's Ultimats with SSG Viper logo/lettering and piping
- Bluebatmobile overlays for taillight/reverse/side marker/3rd brake light
- White LEDs for all gauges/dome/trunk/license plate
- 6k headlights with matching fogs
- MGW short throw shifter with MGW knob
- K&N intake and KW V2 were installed just before the first motor failure, as well as diff/transmission fluids changed
- Woodhouse motor/transmission mounts and new clutch were installed during the last rebuild
Since it's been so long, this is what my car looked like before:
I can't wait to see how the car will look/feel/sound with all the mods installed...it's almost time to enjoy being a Viper owner!
