More pics from the tranny. The new parts will arrive today and John will have it shipped back to IPS in Oh. The LSD is installed and finished. The coilovers came in yesterday. They will be starting on them soon. We should be ready to start tuning really soon. Hoping to fire the car up for the first time by the end of next week.
Oh- and John said the tranny will be good for 800-900whp :-) Perfect for the next stage of the build.

Havent updated the thread in a while. The transmission arrived from EC yesterday. This is the first built transmission from EC so I will take plenty of pics and video after the car is running to give everyone full impressions. They are actually going to be offering the built transmission on the website very soon! The transmission is getting installed today. I will post pics up later this afternoon.

So is there an actual legit time the car is getting tuned and finally completed ready to take home? Or is that still all up in the air and you really have no idea when your car is going to be finished?
I am sure there a lot of people on the sidelines waiting to see what comes of this.

Dang he is all over the place, I didn't click on it but saw a thread for setting up a Canada tune day recently.
EDIT: Clicked thread, wouldn't be Jerry doing the Canada rounds.

Man I hate you. I already have an appointment to get my calipers powder coated basically that same color of orange. I thought I'd be a game changer. Guess not!

Here are just a few pics. The transmission and 3000 stall went back in perfect. They will be putting the exhaust, turbos, and piping all back in tomorrow and Tuesday. Should be ready for an initial start up on Wednesday
! It has been a long time coming and I really miss the car so I cant wait to see. Will still have to wait for Jerry to get his hands on it and tune it. But I will just be happy hearing it run. We did away with the cats and resonators for the exhaust. Should sound pretty good

I wish I hadn't seen this .. I have put a turbo on everything I have owned except E55.
If this was to ever become a kit, I would probably be on this!
Very nice build overall. I might have been tempted to flip that intake manifold around and have a direct shot from the intercooler.
Are you going to loop the rail too?
Respect .. this takes not only a lot of $$ but patience also. Good luck!
