          Received definite confirmation that parts might have shipped today (or tomorrow) with tracking coming shortly.  With alittle luck, parts should be here by the end of next week! 😬

                  Well - we're both gonna be waiting *alittle* longer.  The company apparently ran outta some components to finish the Kit I ordered.  So had the choice of waiting 3-4 weeks more, or step up to a slightly larger size.

                  Opted to go alittle larger in size.  It will theoretically mean less power in the short term - but long term (with more displacement and headwork) it's a better choice.

                  *Should* be shipping shortly!

                      The wait must be excruciating

                      Are you starting on the install right away?

                        Yes it is - and yes I am!

                        Current "List of crap to do" in order:

                        -Get car on stands and replace oil pan.

                        -Remove ABS, brake hardlines in bay,  brake booster, etc... Install new MC and boosterless set-up.

                        -Install new goodies that should be arriving by end of week (hopefully!!)

                        Work starts tomorrow night - I already warned my wife that I'll be spending nights in the garage after kids go to bed till it's running!

                          FYI it could be like 2 weeks for it to clear customs, I just had a package from the motherland that took about 10 days to clear via USPS.

                            My hope is that because it's a "Priority Express" shipment that'll it get through in a timely fashion - only time will tell. 😭

                                  USPS is absolute garbage.

                                  Apparently "Ready for pick-up at Post Office" on their website tracking REALLY means "The package is at an off-site location that we didn't tell you about - that's only open from 9am-to-1pm daily - and we probably can't get it off the truck anymore to try and deliver tomorrow".  And when you present this information to the great-grandmother working the desk at the Post Office (that you waited 15 minutes in line to tak to) - they won't have the slightest idea what you're talking about (or likely what a "website" is).

                                  Absolute garbage.

                                  Hopefully my "Hold Request" goes through and my wife can pick it up Thursday on her lunch. 😡

                                    I fucking despise USPS!  I ordered something next day from them only to find out that "next day" doesn't actually mean "next day".  I argued with 3 different people about this on the phone only to find out it was sitting in New Berlin while I lived in Greenfield BUT I was not allowed to drive to New Berlin to pick up my package from them.  I avoid them at all costs now.
