Motor was supposed to be done yesterday...of course that didn't happen. I called today and they said it would be finished today, but who knows if that is the truth. I sent Nelson Competition an email Monday asking for the specs of my cam/clearances/etc so I can have my car properly tuned, but did not get a reply. I requested for the information today on the phone, but still don't have any answers.

I'm stopping by the powdercoater tomorrow to see how close of a match they can come up with for my calipers. If they can get the color sample right, they will be ready to be picked up Friday or Monday. My interior pieces and embles should be ready to be picked up Friday or Monday. Now the next step is getting Elite Automotive to drive the 2 hours to get my motor...had the motor been ready today, they said they were too busy to pick it up. I swear, if it's not one thing, it's another!

At least the HREs arrived today :)

So.......given the current state of things, you should still be able to make ZDayZ dude. I hope to see you there and witness the masterpiece of beastliness that you are building

I received the invoice for my motor today...I BELIEVE that means my motor is completed! It only took a couple days over 5 months from the day my motor blew again.

I received a call from the powdercoater letting me know the custom sample he put together is ready, so I'll check that out tomorrow...hoping it matches SSG!

Also, I received pictures from the painter today:eekdance:

I doubt it :( I'm already getting "I'll do my best" when I ask Elite Auto to have my car ready by next Friday. That means he had 7 business days to pickup my motor and install it...I'm already doubting him.

I'm a fan of the twists, especially the stock 996TT wheels. I have only seen 3 other Vipers with these wheels (none which are recent) and none of them were as low as I am. I think that's key to making these wheels look killer.

That's what people said about my Modulare Forged wheels...I thought they looked a hell of a lot better on the car than off.

If it's ready, are you going to make the airstrip event on thursday?

I was wrong...installer called machine shop because they were going to pick it up today. Motor is still not ******* done! April 19th, April 30th, May 1st, all promises they don't give a **** about. They are obviously playing with me. Elite Auto told me that in the past when he's tried to push Nelson Competition, Nelson just kept putting the job off. I really don't know what else to do...

I almost feel like it is time to pull the motor from them and have another shop finish it.
Go after the shop for damages or have them pay the new shop to finish the work since they seem to be unable to do it themselves.

:iagree: have some one else do it consult your lawyer and tell them the what's going to happen

roplusbee 05-05-2013 02:44 PM

We can go pay them a visit if you want. They may not like the results. But seriously, dude get them to finish that **** so we can run Tail of the Dragon!
