Re: Tyrell240 89 coupe build

Yeah man it's a bummer. I was going through all my receipts last night and adding everything up and knowing that I'm going to lose a lot of money stings a little bit but all the bloody knuckles and sweat poured into this thing are priceless to me. The thought of having to barter with some punk a$$ t...

Been a long time since I checked in! Thanks for all the compliments! Now onto the bad news.... really really bummed because I'm just not into the car anymore. The last 3+ years building have been fun and I learned a ton but at this point the car sits and I barely ever drive it. My commute to work is...

Well it's been a bit since my last post so here's a little update on the car. Finally bit the bullet and trailered the car down to a very reputable shop 4 hours away and just picked it up yesterday.

I would avoid zsport. They had my car for months and overcharged the crap out of me and didn't do what they were supposed to. English racing is the place to go.

Re: 2ND KA-T Build, No boost

What bov are you running? Some of them have different spring options based on your build and it sounds like yours isn't working properly. Boost leak check would be your best starting point.

Brand new AEM is dead. I guess this has been happening lately with the series 2. Sent it in and they said 7-10 business days to repair/replace it which I feel is total crap. For that kind of money on a EMS they should be a little quicker at getting me on the road but whatever at least it's warantee'd
