Right now we are waiting on some powdercoating. The valve covers and a few pieces for under the hood didnt turn out right. So we had to redo them. That has been holding us up. New powder should arrive today. It looks like we will be ready to start tuning next week!!! Most likely the middle of the week. Now we just need to see when Jerry is available to get his hands on this bad boy. I will be driving back up to OH when Jerry comes in to tune. I will get some video on the dyno to post up. That way everyone can see the whole process.

The driver side wastegate was finished up yesterday. Finally able to get it in a good spot tucked away.

Have been talking to D2 Forged the last two days. Looks like we have locked down what I am looking for. I think they are going to look pretty sweet. But takes about 6 weeks for them.

I have had 2 sets of D2s. They are quality wheels. Did Derrick hook you up?

Thanks Marcus. This will be my first set of D2's. Well I will know officially this afternoon if Derrick hooked me up or not lol. He has been very helpful. We have been going back and forth on price. Looks like we will come to an agreement today.

Congrats on the new wheels! 6 weeks is normal wait time for a custom set.

Are they painting your brake calipers ? Or are they powderrcoating them with the seals and pistons still in? I know the seals will take the heat.. But I hope they were super careful sandblasting around them. All the calipers I've done like that in the past I've covered the whole inside with duct tape so that sand couldn't push it's way in and get caught in the seals. I'm sure they've got it under control though, maybe just wanna give them a glance over before it goes back together.

Thanks Chris! Hopefully I will get things finalized with D2 this afternoon. And good looking out on the calipers. The shop did order the rebuild kits for them when they are finished. I will give them a call today and make sure they take a look at all the seals before putting them back together.

How is powdercoat stuck to the tape that covers the caliper pistons? Is it a spray paint that youre putting in the oven to cure?
