Thanks for asking. Believe me…I wish I had something great to post. The news I have is not great. But it’s part of the process. There was a suspicious rattle from the clutch area that pushed the final product out another 2-4 weeks (4 being worst case scenario); what with pulling the trans and diagnosing the issue. The slightly depressing timeframe is due to the tech’s holiday travel plans, but also because MA isn’t going to send me home without a 100% perfect product. Quality control is killing me right now. I would’ve loved to get her back before Christmas as originally planned, but that’s just not going to happen. In fact I’d consider myself lucky to get her back before 2016. I am bummed…super bummed. Definitely put a bit of a damper on the holidays. But this is just how big builds go and MA still has my total faith and trust. I’m glad they’re taking a hard line with the issue - diagnosing and fixing this rattle now will undoubtedly save me future stress and heartache. They aren’t charging extra for the labor. There was some thought that maybe an ester race oil might clear things up, but of course the oil has to be ordered, and if that doesn’t work there will be further investigation etc. etc. etc. There’s even a slim chance it’s just par for the course noise from forged internals, but MA’s bottom line is they won’t let me take her home until everything is 100% perfect, and I can’t help but agree. Sad though it may be.

There is a pretty awesome silver lining. Pump gas tune at 9psi was close to 500whp. So there’s that. Stay tuned...

EDIT: Also E85 tuning is not complete which adds a little time on the end. The rattle issue popped up midway through finalizing the E85 maps.

Good on them for standing up and saying "not yet". That is a hard thing to admit to. They'll get it fixed. Better now than later with a scattered engine on the side of the road.

Couldn't agree more.

Just wanted to stop in and thank Jade for being such an understanding and awesome customer. Unfortunately in this industry, things can happen that are out of anyone's control sometimes and it sucks. All we can do is make a promise to our customers that we will stand behind our work, and only deliver a car we are 100% confidant in!

Yeah...why don't you just ask her age and what she weighs while you're at it.
