Yeah...I dont think they are haha. Hows yours running?
Mine is just sitting in the garage until the dyno tune on the 13th. Currently the TB elbow is off so I can install the IAT sensor. Got the wire harness all soldered up and the hole drilled. I just need to find a 3/8" NPT tap... Depot, Lowes, and Menards dont have them so Ill probably have to hit up a piping supply house. Being a pipefitter you'd think I'd have access to one.:handjob:

After reading all the Latest Post after the Parts Blew threw the bottom of
the car and you have restarted it I hope all is OK.

If it were me I think at this point in time with the Approx. $10K at stake
I would seek some HELP from a Performance Shop.

Even if it Cost me more than I would like to spend, it might very well
End up Cheaper in the Long-Run.

Just a Suggestion.

If you are near Brenspeed maybe Trailer it over to them or Call and see
what they might say.

Yup, it was looking ok last night, but this morning is a different story.

At this point I really think it is time to have some "Professional" ADVISE.

That is if you can afford to do that.

I know when I did my Bullitt at Brenspeed I Paid for almost all of it up Front.

So, when I actually took the car to them the only additional monies I needed was for further changes.

I mention this because I had a Budget and most of my Friends are the same.

If you do have the necessary "Dollars" to have Brenspeed do their thing
than I think at this point that is what I would do.

You have like me way to much money invested already NOT to find out
what the heck is going on.

For what it is worth I am going to add this comment to "You".

I'm personally not into the Smart-Ass wise cracks and Belittling others here.
I offer my comments and suggestion to HELP the other person.
So, I hope you take tham in the manner I offer them.

I talked to the guy this morning for awhile and he says if the car started right up like it did last night he is very sure that there is no damage to the interals. But I'm not really sure...with the oil leaking now I'm definitley not trying to start the car lol. That could equal major failure.

Major bummer man. Good luck to ya. I hope it works out. My situation isn't so nearly as bad, but my car got pummeled with hail last night, so I got 20-30 dings i need to get pulled out. Painful as I haven't even owned her a year yet.

Yeah I heard you guys got some nasty weather last night. Sorry to hear about that. My car seems fine, we replaced the oil filter that was leaking and took it for a cruise. I was able to hammer the smashed intercooler piping back into place and it seems to be working pretty good....I need to invest in a more bullitt proof dyno tune and a good clutch. Other than that, we believe that the car is ok, which is a huge relief.

Glad to see the car is running ok. Like Terry said you really need to get that thing dyno tuned... You'll just be doing yourself a favor.
