Okay, so Hoss-05 is in town for a couple of weeks. Time to get busy :) First things first though are to re solder his heating controls :lol: We got a freak cold snap here and it's freezing.

hoss -05 02-09-2011 09:05 PM

First few hours in country Grungepup and I fixed the heater put on my Center caps and installed my good box! Much more to come in the next few days. :) Stay tuned guys!

Come up for air bro. Any updates on the Cobb from MM? It's been a couple of weeks already.

Soooooooo.............. UPS guy dropped this off today :) freakin' had to pay brokerage fee and they only accept checks. Who the hell carries checks these days :lol: I'll tell you who, one of my older employees :lol:. I had to have her write UPS a check and I gave her cash :lol:

I took a quick peek and all of the parts look top notch including the inter-cooler. I believe so Jedi, I am not aware of anyone else running this kit. I'm excited to get to work. Perfect timing for a beautiful weekend :)

I remember seeing Mark bring his prototype to SevenStock 3 (?) years ago and I'm glad someone finally has the production version.

Let's see what this little beast can do.
His engine dyno looked promising...

9krpmrx8 02-11-2011 04:12 PM

I am excited to see what it will do. We are addressing everything we can think of reliability wise to assure it makes the most power possible.

mscamp02 02-11-2011 05:25 PM

Cant wait to see that bad boy installed and see what it can do!

dondo 02-11-2011 05:31 PM

yay! congrats!

tubingchamp 02-11-2011 06:23 PM

Good stuff!! Glad to hear it got there.. Actually quite QUICKLY even though I put it on a reg.

I assume my double-packing super tape job kept it all together?

Richard Paul 02-11-2011 07:04 PM

Nice to see me mate Pickering of Oz land one up here on the other side of the earth, good on ya bloke.

Nice! Was working on my gauge installs all day... got very frustrated and had to take off but should be able finish tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow. Time to install the stance coil overs and breaks!.... also will do some pictures!

8 Maniac 02-12-2011 01:52 AM

Didn't realize you were getting the Hymee... definitely looking forward to see that installed. Was starting to wonder what happened with it since there hasn't been much word in a while. Really didn't expect I'd get to see it so up close and personal!

9krpmrx8 02-12-2011 07:29 AM

Let's do this. I'm itching to wrench.

olddragger 02-12-2011 08:12 AM

going to be a little head scratching going on:) 1st install and all.
I really like the idler pulley set up Hymlee did.
I am curious about any throttle/boost lag with the a/a intercooler?
Output should be comparable to us Pettit guys.
That 09 trans is going to make a lot of difference dude!!
Old man is excited for you!

hoss -05 02-18-2011 12:16 PM

09 trans with less then 10k orderd!

Sweet! I will reset your rear coilovers on Sunday and try and layout everything for the gauges.

Jedi54 02-18-2011 01:41 PM
