Wish i would have found that eariler. The one I bought is from Australia. Yep didn't think to look on where it was from but it was almost double after exchanging U.S. to Aussy money. Oh well you live and learn I guess.

Sweet I am running a Elite 1500. I thought blinkers and fuel both had to go directly to it. wiring the fuel gauge to ECU is probably easier to do..

It all needs wired in. A resistor that make the alternator charge, the blinkers, headlight indicator, parking brake and fuel level sender. The fuel conditioner expands the range of the fuel sender. It makes it easier to avoid big fluctuations in what the sender shows voltage wise. I also used the mako motorsports.

I talked to Mandy the other day. It was odd being she called me but she said covid got the shop hard and they are really short handed at the moment. She said Corey is doing 4g blocks this week and said mine should be done this week or early next week she wasn't sure where in line mine was but she said in the next couple weeks.

They are going to complete the work I have paid for and give me the car back so I can break in the engine and then I can bring it back for dyno time. I am not really happy with that being it's hard enough to take time off work as it is to do so. They don't wanna touch the dash at this time being they are so behind and just want to get the car finished . That's the latest hopefully pics will come soon being the girl who takes them now will e back to work Monday.

Why not just dyno once they put it together? They've done that to mine and countless others.

To answer that is they have more work then workers right now, they want me to put miles in the break in being the piston skirts need break in. That and the fact they have had it nearly a year and know I really would like to have the car back. So give the car back put whatever miles on it that it needs bring it back to tune it so they can finish other work that is backed up with the limited workers left. That is my guess and I get it, I really do it's nothing to get a car to come back in and give it a tune being it will already have a base tune on it.

Update:

Well over the weekend my ic-7 arrived along with my catch can that I just sent out to Slowmotion. I did ask them why they would want me to put break in miles on it when they can just drive it around the block and tune the car? Ic-7 is smaller then I thought. I havent heard on any type of shipping yet or no tracking for the dash plastic but I emailed the guy and said hey I know you said plastic is being painted and finished up but any update on tracking. I also told him I understand its only a few days after the holiday and all I was just looking for an eta so I can keep my eye out for it.

Dont see why they can just run the car do a quick test drive change the oil then tune it. From what i have been told the motor will seal with in the first few mintues. They can also do a quick break in on the dyno.
