Hi guys!
Sorry for not updating for a while! Been "fighting" with the painter...As you know I went and had a look on the car when I was home in Sweden, but what I did not tell you was that the paint is soooooooooooooo bad!! It looks like a five year old have done it! If it was in the US I would have sued the hell out of the guy/company who done it...But being in Sweden, the big three hugging capital of the world, I don't have any rights as a customer. Believe me; I have been in contact with the "people who knows"!
So now the same guy/company will redo it for the next time I'm home, and if it's still bad...Then MAYBE I can get out of it!
So as you all can imagine, I'm not too happy at the moment!

Looks amazing! They aren't using the stock airbox's are they?? I wouldn't think so after all the custom work they've done thus far but the first pic made me scratch my head.

The CF will be gloss and the silver matte....The last one is on the position of the Aero catch lock that will go on, the only difference is that I'll have the ones that you lock with a key.

Well I’m sorry to say that I have no real updates! I’m supposed to pick the car up at the end of this month, and all I’m getting at the moment is that the “car will be ready”. But then again, it was supposed to be ready in April! I have not seen any photos, I have not received any updates and to even find anything out, I’m the one getting in touch! So sick of it all!
So I’m sorry guys, at the moment I know as much as you do! As soon as I know anything, you will know as well!

not stock.
if theres one thing Ive learned is that "painters" and "mechanics" along with a few others should not be left alone and unsupervised ..... if you do, they will work at their own convenient slow pace and the quality will be to what their "eyes" can catch without taking into consideration what one is expecting out of the job... the whole ordeal gets worse when you have aleady given them money.

Ok guys, I finally have some updates…Not 100% good ones, but at least something!
Just got of the phone with SCRAM, and from there part they will be ready tomorrow! The car will not be ready to its full potential, and I will not have full Hp/Nm now. This is because the whole engine is basically new, and will need to be driven in.
They admitted that this project was MUCH more complicated then they thought when I approached them with the idea! And the biggest problem is, AIR! With the huge SC that is in the car, the engine of course needs a lot of air! And one of the problems has been to find ways to get the air, with the minimal amount of space that we have in the car. And Everything is custom made as well, so when a problem has come up, they have many times had to fabricate custom made stuff to solve the problem.
Ok so what does this mean then?
The car will be ready and drivable, but there is no way the painter has time to repaint the car for next Saturday! So I will get the car, and be able to drive it for my three weeks of RR, but paint wise, it will look like ****!
After my three weeks of RR, the car goes back to SCRAM, they will finalize the last on the engine and they will dyno the car. And then the painter will do his part!

That's great news MIDO!! Glad to hear you'll finally be behind the wheel of your amazing ride. You'll have to take lots of pics/videos while you're home breaking in the new engine....even if it doesn't have the final paint job yet.
