Just haven’t insulated anything yet

Does that fan blow toward your house? If so this may be a problem with airflow for the unit outside cooling the condenser. I have had that issue before when I was in the AF.

Yes it will; shouldn’t be an issue with this setup...as always will be in the shade & Hvac guy said it looked great.
Also it’s within drawing specs on mounting

Inside part will blow downward; unsure if it oscillates or not...but don’t want it aimed at roll up door

I’ll know in a couple days

HVAC fully functional in garage now

Gonna be working on a few shelves & removing some clutter beginning tomorrow

Still planning to have Z on lift by end of January

Update on Turbo/Exhaust:
Turbo’s arrived at FI this week & so did the mufflers for the 3” kit,
Shouldn’t be long before everything is shipped

Good parts. I looked into using Zeitronix for my entire gauge setup when I did the car. In hindsight I wish I had since the LCD screen went out on my Greddy Multi-Gauge. I also like the Profec. I have the original running mine.

We’re the coil packs bad or you just replacing all the OEM stuff too?

When is this showing up?

They weren’t bad, just 125k miles & Seb recommended the GTR ones over the 370 ones

Said he’s seen some of the stock ones misfire, when potentially running over 20# boost...idk

Beings he’s gonna be tuning; I got parts he recommended

Haven’t shipped it out yet, been dinking around

With the extra expenses lately :icon14, probably will be mid February to early March,,,as the turnaround time isn’t bad on these.

Errr mah gerd. you just buy all these parts up front to feel the full force of the pain. lol I like to spread my pain out to a dull lingering pain over years.

My project initially would have been about $20k but because it has taken more than two years you can triple that. Death by a 60,000 paper cuts!

Dude...The ‘while I’m in there’ and ‘it’ll never be easier while that’s off’ add-ons kill a car build budget.
