[eg6sir]

u get that wrinkle paint yet??

 

[Andrew]

Dude, Caswell Plating blows... I ordered it on 3/22. On 4/3 I get on the Online Live chat(support, they don't have a phone number), and he tells me that it will be 30 days until THEY get it, THEN they ship it to me.



On a MUCH brighter side, my shop is underway! Soon I'll have my own shop, and not get my dad mad with all my tools...

Got started today, and this is how far we've gotten. We're building all the trusses, so it takes a while.

Specs:
20x30
(2) 8' garage doors
(1) normal 3-0' door
(1) normal window
Vinyl outside and a green metal roof(to match my dads shop.)
bare studs inside.


Cant wait!!!!

Is that in your back yard? Dude if I were you I would insulate it somehow so you could work all times of the night and not get yelled at. For some reason I always wake up in the middle of the night and want to work on my shit. Good luck.

 

[Andrew]

Yeah it's in my back yard. We have about 13 acres, so it's no big deal about the noise.

Good man, it's looking ok. The only "problem" I've had with it was when I went to the track a couple weeks ago(the one I posted up). I ran open header, and for some reason the o2 sensor wires fell right in front of the opening, and I basically blasted the plastic off the wires.
Unfortunatly the best race I could've had that day(racing my buddy), the wires shorted out and it made the engine stutter, CEL flicker, and me almost pee my pants. Everybody on the side of the track just though I missed second/was bouncing off the limiter, but it happened at about 6500rpm.

As far as looks, I'll have to re-arrange my setup a little bit when I put the ITB's on, just so it'll look better. The intake piping is just kinda hiding the wires now, but when thats gone.........

Fo realzies

 

[Taco15]

the o2 thing would be my fault since i put it in. ooops. i guess my sabotage attempt didnt work.lol

 

[Andrew]

Naa, it's not your fault. It's my fault for not putting any wire loom on it. to protect it(do now).

Eg6, don't worry about it. It's their problem, because they didn't say anything about a delay...
