It’s functional; will be piping up the Daikin mini-split this weekend

Does that fan blow toward your house? If so this may be a problem with airflow for the unit outside cooling the condenser. I have had that issue before when I was in the AF.

Yes it will; shouldn’t be an issue with this setup...as always will be in the shade & Hvac guy said it looked great.
Also it’s within drawing specs on mounting

Inside part will blow downward; unsure if it oscillates or not...but don’t want it aimed at roll up door

I’ll know in a couple days

Does the license plate stand for "no torque?"

Never noticed that; but since...her car was totaled out by seawater

Parked on the streets at the beach this past year & when one of the last hurricanes came by - water got up near top of doors and shorted all the electrical out...had car full of the marshy saltwater

Insurance company immediately totaled it

HVAC fully functional in garage now

Gonna be working on a few shelves & removing some clutter beginning tomorrow

Still planning to have Z on lift by end of January

Update on Turbo/Exhaust:
Turbo’s arrived at FI this week & so did the mufflers for the 3” kit,
Shouldn’t be long before everything is shipped

Good parts. I looked into using Zeitronix for my entire gauge setup when I did the car. In hindsight I wish I had since the LCD screen went out on my Greddy Multi-Gauge. I also like the Profec. I have the original running mine.

We’re the coil packs bad or you just replacing all the OEM stuff too?

When is this showing up?

Haven’t shipped it out yet, been dinking around

With the extra expenses lately :icon14, probably will be mid February to early March,,,as the turnaround time isn’t bad on these.

They weren’t bad, just 125k miles & Seb recommended the GTR ones over the 370 ones

Said he’s seen some of the stock ones misfire, when potentially running over 20# boost...idk

Beings he’s gonna be tuning; I got parts he recommended
