An update: I went to the machine shop yesterday...marking 2 weeks since I got confirmation the installer was going to cover all the parts costs. NOTHING had been done since. I called the machine shop about 8 times in 2 weeks and never got a solid answer, so I finally showed my face.

Apparently, the installer had yet to give the machine shop money to order the new parts (crank, timing cover, oil pump, bearings, etc.). I called the installer right away as I was standing next to the owner of the machine shop. "I was waiting for the machine shop to call me" the installer says...what a load of ****.

The machine shop hadn't ordered my parts for my heads/cam build because they needed 50% payment up front...even though I asked how the payment will work when I told them I wanted to go this route and they said to pay in the end.

Either way, I paid more than half yesterday up front so they can order my cam, oversized valves, springs, retainers, etc. I should be looking at 600-650whp when the build is complete

The machine shop said they'd call the installer to get payment so they can order the parts for the rebuild. I called today to confirm they received payment, but they must have already left for the day.

They said it will take roughly 2 weeks to source all the parts since the crank and timing cover will be coming from Arrow Racing in Michigan. Then another 2 weeks to get the headwork complete. So I'm hoping only another month.

...keep in mind the motor blew on November 17th.

Well, I THINK the parts have finally been ordered. The crank, timing cover, and oil pump were ordered Thursday. The cam was ordered today. This is at least what the machine shop told me. I've had to call everyday this week and even multiple times per day. I always got the "we'll call you in an hour and let you know", but never once did they call me

On a more exciting note, my MGW short throw shifter arrived about 2 weeks ago. My SCT tuner arrived yesterday so I can have my car safely tuned to 600-650whp. I ordered a BBK 67mm throttle body today. I will hopefully have this lip shipping in a week. I really do have a modding problem because I'm still broke after the first rebuild

Glad to see you're at least making some progress with the build Ryan

Hahahaha

I was actually taking a rolling shot of my friend's 997TT and his passenger was taking a video from his iPhone. This is a still from the video.

Just ordered these Lloyd's Ultimat floor mats today. I really wanted to do Snakeskin Green accents (calipers, valve covers, side emblems, floor mats, painted center console), but decided to stick with red for now since my calipers and valve covers are already red. That means I just have to get my center console, shifter surround, and emblems painted red to match.
