I'm definitely shipping it out, as soon as it's definitely done. I have been having an issue this week with a ridiculous local person, and I had to shoot a wedding this weekend. The unit is welded entirely, except for O2 bungs and the hard to reach areas.

I know you have to go out of town, I saw your post. People in a hurry always seem to have to go out of town, or out of the country or something...I'm used to that one. I also got a phone call from you, but your number comes up private. I plan to finish this up tomorrow, wait to hear from you, then start on four more.

Damian,

When you start on the stainless proto can you please let me know? I'd like to communicate which bungs I will need when you are completing it.

It's all fully welded except for the hard to reach areas. I'm simply not gonna be able to get to them in the jig. So, I'm letting it cool, so it doesn't move. Then I'm gonna have to go slow to get each spot welded, since it's out of the jig.

Not bad though...just gonna have to go through some small phases of improvement, both to improve end quality, and also to reduce the time it takes me to make it.


this is why I've been saying the full dp would be much better. A good dp and this unit will cost as much as you charged me (or more). If you didn't have to make the turn in time to meet that flange it could take a more ideal route. Especially if the unit is not a screamer/dump.

I like what I am seeing though regardless. Thanks.

well you can be use to it or not, I'm just telling you the facts and keeping you updated on my situation. so when you do send it out and I'm not able to make any test fitments for a couple weeks you know why. I guess I could have been a dick and not told that I was leaving, guess thats what I get for communicating..

Any progress? I'm patiently waiting for other parts to come in so my nx is just sitting anyway. Any help needed? Any issues?

haha...

Yeah, thanks mang... its just up in the air collecting dust. I can't wait to get it on the street... I'm going to have to run somewhere to get it aligned first thing. And then I'm taking the long way home and giving it its first wash probably in 5 years. If i don't get it dropped soon it will officially be a year since I have driven a turbo car of my own. I think I put the sentra down in November... That's ridiculous.

(For the record: I'm waiting on fuel lines, not this piece btw)
