looks like it's coming along awesome Sam, and Bullit son you should have bought a camaro SS because in the blue collar world instead of getting the whole foreign, import scene, FF bulshiz you get the "he's one of us" from them. It says professional, goes to the bars, and a tad stupid... perfect camouflage.

True but then again, my dad takes almost every customer out for a drive when they buy a kitchen

I will not buy a camaro until they fix the Quality issues... i.e. I shouldnt be able to put a dent in the dash just by pressing down on it with my hand! it should also have a nav option and real leather... just my thoughts on it.

Seriously Jon...

They were mounting the GTR intake adapter yesterday... the car was up in the air getting the fuel system hooked back up along with other items so the car will be running and testing begin this week... I was on the phone with Sam trying to get some other stuff taken care of when he informed me of the status of the car.

I understand people are excited and want to hear updates. But you have to understand this is a BUSY BUSY shop. GTM does not have a ton of employees and these guys are working hard to get everyone's builds done including mine.Yes could I call Sam everyday and hassle him on whats getting done... Am I going to do that? NO, I understand what it takes to get this stuff done and I trust Sam with the car. He is the kind of guy that doubles and triple checks the car before doing anything because this is just as important to him as it is to me and the rest of the community. Please show patience and when the car is back up and running and testing we will share our results.

thanks,

Mike

Mike,
I need you to REPORT every post that's off topic or unrelated to the ORIGINAL topic. NO trolling or childish BS will be allowed here. Please tell "sam" to report any useless or off topic post as well. There are plenty of places for entertainment, the tech section threads are NOT one of them!!!

Maybe if you get off the juice, you won't break everything you touch!

Mike, are you planning to keep your DD Subie stock, or are you going to do anything with that as well? Can we expect a Subie build thread from you?

Will Sam have hands on with this project as well, or will that be a build in a different shop, or your driveway?

The guy that took the pictures of my car owns an STI. I never really looked at them before that but they are sexy cars
