I wished that the FI TT parts weren't hidden as they are works of art!

It really goes to show F.I.'s quality of work. ...most manufacturers would be like...."Bleh....who cares how it looks no one's gonna see it....." F.I. really goes out of their way to put true craftsmanship on their products.....F 'n Awesome!!!!!!

They actually started her up late last week! The video I got (thanks Daelen) warmed my cold black heart. She was purring like a kitten. A beautiful, ferocious, two headed flying rocket kitten from hell.

Spooler · 12-21-2015, 12:58 PM

Thanks for asking. Believe me…I wish I had something great to post. The news I have is not great. But it’s part of the process. There was a suspicious rattle from the clutch area that pushed the final product out another 2-4 weeks (4 being worst case scenario); what with pulling the trans and diagnosing the issue. The slightly depressing timeframe is due to the tech’s holiday travel plans, but also because MA isn’t going to send me home without a 100% perfect product. Quality control is killing me right now. I would’ve loved to get her back before Christmas as originally planned, but that’s just not going to happen. In fact I’d consider myself lucky to get her back before 2016. I am bummed…super bummed. Definitely put a bit of a damper on the holidays. But this is just how big builds go and MA still has my total faith and trust. I’m glad they’re taking a hard line with the issue - diagnosing and fixing this rattle now will undoubtedly save me future stress and heartache. They aren’t charging extra for the labor. There was some thought that maybe an ester race oil might clear things up, but of course the oil has to be ordered, and if that doesn’t work there will be further investigation etc. etc. etc. There’s even a slim chance it’s just par for the course noise from forged internals, but MA’s bottom line is they won’t let me take her home until everything is 100% perfect, and I can’t help but agree. Sad though it may be.

There is a pretty awesome silver lining. Pump gas tune at 9psi was close to 500whp. So there’s that. Stay tuned...

EDIT: Also E85 tuning is not complete which adds a little time on the end. The rattle issue popped up midway through finalizing the E85 maps.
