Can't wait for the build pr0n
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.

My group 2 front airdam and fiberglass hood from Portugal took a little over a week to get to my door after it was cleared through US customs

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.

Sound the trumpets!

Get some harness covers home slice!!

If they were in stock - I'd already have some ordered!
Blunt tech dude!!!
