@psyber you don't want that lol. The car is now at one of the best shops in the area getting all the wiring done properly. No idea what that Bill will be like but at least it'll be done right. I had to pull the car from Fab9 because it was just sitting not really moving forward at all. I guess Bryan just has too much on his plate which I wish would've just been communicated last fall so this other shop could start on it 8 months ago, not at the beginning of summer.



@18psi it is honestly the best daily I could ask for. Very comfortable, but quick, with all the features I could possibly need. It's hard to stop spending money on it instead of the miata.

*fizz*

I'm still alive and this car runs now...... Should be on the dyno for tuning within the month, and then break in. After dyno things I'll probably post a real update. Any videos of it are buried by all the pictures of my 7r on my instagram (@psulja_7r). Hopefully I'll have videos of dyno pulls sooner than later.

IDK if this link of it running will even work but this was one of the first few times it started, still a very rough tune at the time.

Only going to run wastegate pressure to start and then we'll see how stupid i want to get with the power levels. I'll probably be more interested in it when i finally get to drive it again after almost 3 years.

in the meantime i vinyl wrapped my Golf R and put some Rotiforms on it because I was bored. the miata will likely end up the same colour.

tried to link a video of a little pull in the R but that didn't work so i give up
