Maybe warranties there are a little more lenient than ours here in the states.

I dotted my Is and crossed my Ts, these two parts had nutting to do with the mods i did, and i claimed them in a timely matter where i was covered. GM may be upset it took two yrs to complete, but a defective part is a defective part...
The key is more of a recall...
Hopefully today they will be resolvin my issue and tomorrow deliver me the car with a small, praying it a small, bill...

I'm maxed out at -1 degree and my hoosiers aren't too happy with it. I'd like 3-3.5

so 30 days in the dealership and all they did was change the cluster yesterday...
I expressed my feelings and brought the car back to my shop. in a few days my friends shop is gonna open up a slot and i will sit with them for a bit while we sort out this clutch issue, as well as steering tie rod.
Then its off to the body shop to pull out the rear fenders and trim some of the body to clear the wheels while turning.
My tune is a bit off, instead of 14.4 its reading 15.5 at idle. so i will be adding a little more fuel to the injector tables till i get it right. I am already at 90% in idle so time to trim up the injectors and lower the VE

Not any more. My fuel pump stopped functioning, so i cut open an access hole and went about an inch longer and wide so its more comfortable. I then made a cover which i will screw back on afterwards to keep the smells and dirt out...
Found our the dealer installed the hot wire to the pump wiring instead of connecting the direct current to the main pump. Will make the line shorter and keep it inside the car.
Got my multimeter, and i see a pulse of 12v to the pump, but then it turns off. The pump also sees power but no current through the lines.

fixed my fuel pressure issue, but now i dont have oil pressure.
There is a clean oil supply, and oil in the oil pan, but none goin through the engine supposedly
I swapped the oil pressure sensor, and cranked the engine with it off had oil squirt out, but when i start the engine no oil pressure...
SO ANNOYIN!!!

not sure what all has been done haha, have you messed with the oil pump? if so what about pickup tube o-ring not seated properly, that will give extremely low or no pressure.
just a thought

I have the Katech High output, high scavanger pump. I feel the bypass is stuck open.
Will have to get her to my friends shop and yank the engine out to see the leaks and potential damage to the bearings/journals...
I already braced the wife, this could be a $3,000 repair. New Katech pump, bearings, shippin and labor...
Life sux, but while i am waiting on everything, i will try and score a Mil spec engine harness, pull the rear fenders out, and create front strut braces...
I have lemons, might as well add mint and blend it all together..( Local drink here is lemonade with mint, quite tasty...)

Tie rod ends are cut 25mm shorter than what i had and will make another set 25mm longer for the track...
Took the idea from Baer and ran with it. Its T6061 Alu trimmed to 30mm OD with 14x1.5 pitch on one side and 5/8x18 on the other...
The pins are 10 degree so they will fit
