Timster,

For some reason I hadn't noticed your car before.

I must say, that car is truly a thing of beauty. My favorite color in some cars (XJR/XJ8 and most benzes).

RBrenton88,
Thanks, I really like the Magma Red. Some of the reds are a little to orange for me. This one is just right.
Bright Ticket Red!
LOL

theine,
If the car ever gets there! It's Monday and the transport company still hasn't arrived. That's eight days so far.

The first thing Kleemann is going to do is to verify that the car is correct before they do anything. Making sure that there are no mechanical problems before they start. If all goes well and it’s a normal install, it takes about week to install the S/C and a day to install the suspension.
I'd say two weeks max if everything is all right with the car.
The Kleemann people (Brandon and Ben) have been great. They understand that I have no control over the transport company and have rearranged their schedule to accommodate the delays. (Thank you, Brandon and Ben)
We have been in constant contact. They have offered good solutions to some of my questions. I’m hoping to unveil the car the first week in March.
Thanks for asking,
Tim

Even though they keep threatening to post there real dyno numbers.
I can't wait to post my Kleemann numbers!
Tim
I really want to see those numbers too!!!
Not that I'm going to put a s/c in my car anytime soon (I can't afford it right now), but I do want to see real numbers from a real customer such as yourself.
