IS the car still at PFS? Also, is Ray tuning the car? Anyways, we were going to have my car tuned there but my builder opted not to...


This is great news and I know the wait was worth every second, can't wait!

Although I live only an hour away from PFS my builder says he has an even better tuner from Puerto Rico.. I really don't think this would have made a difference considering both Ray and this tuner really know what they are doing. I'll try to get more details on why but considering how close I live to PFS it would have only made since but I don't know.

Anyways not to get off topic, can't wait to see pics of your engine bay!

Hopefully you don't have start issues like this one!
Looks like they took fuse out to shut off a fuel pump or something...
Looks like it ain't turbo...

The fuse was for the water pumps.

Issues related to start up were more because of the spark plugs, from starting it up during the day, no major issues
