 Rev never actually shipped it and sent it off to USPS last night. 

This is mostly likely what happened.

You're probably right.

Last night the tracking randomly updated that the package was accepted at the USPS facility. I would love to know if USPS messed up and or if Rev never actually shipped it and sent it off to USPS last night. 

I'd be willing to bet it was RevShift lol

I'm thankful for direct-port nitrous injection, four-core intercoolers, ball-bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs.

S38 for sale on BaT: the video of it running shows it installed in a super nice datsun 240Z! That looks like it was an awesome car/build, sound incredible

Went for a good price, basically what the full rebuild cost

Very much so. Everyone is hopefully just in their garages working on stuff so diligently, that they haven't had time to post updates.

Ill be tackling some fun maintenance this weekend, trans and diff fluids and trying to raise the rear with some makeshift spacers. Exciting stuff. Hopefully it snows soon so I can actually get the snowboard out

That's uh, exactly what I've been doing, obviously

I haven't put my snow tires on yet.  So it is hiding in the garage.  Been busy working on house projects before baby 4 comes likely this week.  Gotta keep the nesting wife happy.   I do almost have a garage heater hooked up.  I will post pictures when it's done.  It's a sweet contraption.

I joined a makespace in Madison (the bodgery). Played around with the TIG welder a little, but haven't started any projects yet. Not sure I'm going to fit in well there, but it's something to do over the winter...

Nice! My friend Jesse goes there all the time. All he builds is crazy shit 24/7. He just build an adult Tree house this summer and it's pretty epic.

The e30 got put into storage a few weekends ago, and other than the e34 seizing a front caliper I've been pretty radio silent. The formula car at school has been consuming a lot of time lately, we've been having throttle runaway issues and it's understandably been high priority.

Racecar is in storage all happy with engine issues addressed and is waiting for me to spend more $$ on suspension and do some BFH fender adjustment to run 225s next season. The ZHP is digging having the garage space, and the 318is is all juiced up with the new battery and seems to handling the winter duties so far. We'll see what happens when temps drop into single digits.

[B C]

You seem to have gotten some good use from that 318is

Anybody have experience with Kummrow Automotive? I plan on going there for an alignment  pretty soon and from what I have seen they have good reviews
