All successful projects arent complete without one (thinking I might have 2 or 3 if I draft K1 and K2 - naturally you'll be the brains of that trio)!!! To your point, I stand corrected. Should have said, ".....do something stupid like HAVE them polished"

More like a fine mess I've gotten myself into! At least that's my brides perspective, lol.


Things kind of slowed to a stand still at the minute. New bullet should be testing the limits of the dyno in a month assuming the intake build stays on track. Still working out some feasibility and cosmetic tweaks under under the hood in anticipation of that thing FINALLY coming home. One little house project to complete this week to keep mama happy and we're back at it

Well....Jesse....because of the intake direction, I'm finalizing a few more cosmetic ideas under the hood. I knew extra time was going to create more "to-do" tasks

At the minute, things are a little disorganized so no pics

Lol, really havent done anything...yet. Intake is going to be killer so I'm building around it. Little more plate, little more powder, some wiring, etc. Need pull a few things together in the next couple weeks before the intake is fiiiiiiinally done. Pics to follow for sure....

That looks awesome! I've been wanting to do that, but don't wanna deal with taking it to the dealership to get the ABS block bleed afterward.
