Tranny is out, clutch going on. Should be on the dyno late next week if all goes well..=)

 

Next up is dyno tuning and some numbers. Stay tuned..

I don't think Kevin has ever come across someone that gets as excited about this kind of stuff as I do..=)

 

Enjoy it!

 

Thanks man.

 

Looking good. I like the bright polished rims on white cars, silver calipers look good with it. I hope you stay stock!

 

While I am torn on wheels, I do agree that the alumium wheels with the silver calipers and white body makes for a very clean/elegant combination.

 

Needs to come down about an inch or so, sitting kinda high.

PS. Nice Av!

 

It is sitting kinda high, I agree. But if I lower it, I am asking for trouble on these MI roads!

And yes, love your avatar as well..

 

Here are the numbers...=) Not bad for a measly bolt on kit.

 

Very nice, Fadi!

 

You wont regret this, you will love it. I miss my TT SuperG everyday. Kevin is a great guy, and their quality of work is pretty amazing.

 

Thanks, Jack! Hope all is well with you.

Thanks man. I miss your GSL TT too..

 

I hope you bring this thing to Toledo Cars and Coffee. I wouldnt mind getting in a friendly run with you either.

 

Latest update...

So Kevin went out and got me some VBOX numbers on race gas the other day. The car went WAY faster than I would have ever expected. He sends me a text with the following pic:


And to make matters even more impressive, his next text was "uphill", followed by "with a passenger"..

(Keep in mind my E900 GTR went 4.6 secs, on a 2.8% decline, without a passenger - just sayin, Jamie.. )

At this point I am so excited and I want the car back.......until this morning when I had a little chat with my wife who can sometimes be the devil (which is why she is a keeper)

My wife: "So, if you are so set on building the car, why not build it now and save the $2,000 shipping costs later to build it"
Me: "well, I don't want to spend all that much in one hit, I think it's smart to replenish some cash first and build it later."
My wife: "what's so smart about wasting $2,000 on shipping later if you are set on eventually building it?"
Me:""

So I called Kevin, told him my wife is crazy and wants me to spend all my money, and here we are now....undergoing a stage 3 build!

I want to thank Kevin for giving me a superb experience thus far. I am going to be very honest and say excellent service was to be expected from UGR. After all, they would not be where they are today if they did not practice that, so I am not surprised there, but what's surprising to me is that despite the fact that Kevin has 100+ cars in the shop, he always gets back to all my e-mails and texts within the hour, sometimes minutes. That I was not expecting. So Kevin, keep it up please...

So, the excitement commences ALL over again...........and the wait continues.

Lastly, I want to thank god for blessing me in the ability to make such a purchase. I also want to thank my wife for being crazier than even myself given that I honestly did not have ANY intentions of building the car anytime soon.

More updates to come as I get them from Kevin..

 

I wonder what kind of boost was that on stock motor.
