That's quite a list. Mine is starting to grow too.

Did your intake charge pipes not come in the wrinkly black finish?

No. I paid a premium to have them polished.

Everything was good until I installed the TS engine cover. There was too much carbon fiber with it and my strut bar, which led me to buy and powdercoat a new strut bar. The powdercoating ended up being way darker than I wanted, so I came up with an idea for my CF strut bar. To go with that idea, I decided to paint my BOVs. Now there isn't enough contrast between them and the intake pipes.., so the pipes are getting powdercoated a contrasting colour.

And that's how things snowball

Just got word the US distributor has my seats in the studio for some high-res pics. They are supposed to ship out to me tomorrow.

You got "word" but no pics?

for good news and eventual pics

If they really are done and shipped, that's pretty amazing how they nearly kept their week turnaround promise after fvcking up an order that took 6 months (IIRC) originally

I did get a cell phone pic, but that could have been taken in Germany for all I know.

So once you get the high-res shots, you are gonna post them here riiiiight? I mean imagine how impatient you are to get these seats, and you already know which ones they are. So now imagine how impatient I am to find out!

Yes I'll be posting. Don't get too excited, they're not as rare as you think. It's the stitching and heat that make them one-offs.

I'm more excited to see my harness bar installed. Thanks again for the help!

Of course it never matters how long you postpone. A project car is never done

GaleForce · 05-19-2014, 05:53 PM

I took more parts off the car.

This has to stop!

On the plus side, I drained the oil. Then I made a bracket for the Greddy oil filter thermostat and installed it. Also relocated the temp sensor to the oil filter plate. Now I have to make new oil lines and hopefully start putting things back together.
