Ahhh, back in the good old days when we modded everything. I haven't done any real mods since my B8 S4 and that was just a pulley and a tune. Cars are getting too complicated and I'm getting too old.

Stage 3 Imloa B5 S4! Love it.
Not to turn this thread into something else but I'll be replacing my 07' Supercharged S2k with the Spyder. Its got 427WHP... she's also mint mint and very much modded. I agree though, u get to an age where it's just too much to stay on top of...

It disappears on occasion and that is normal if you read through this thread.

Nice! So far the Composer has been on schedule. That is a very quick turnaround if they make that. Must not be too much to unload in Baltimore.

Looking at the map, Baltimore is much closer to me than Jacksonville. I wonder if my car will actually be offloaded in Baltimore. We all know you can't trust TYD.

I've been looking at Baltimore and not seeing the SFL Composer come or go. Then I found it is actually at a Port called Sparrows Point! I see it it scheduled to arrive in Jacksonville on 8/25!

Default Question on the Build Sheet.
How long did you wait for the SA to get the Porsche Build Sheet? I have waited a week.

You seeing any progress on your end? I'm still "Scheduled for Production" w/ a Production Completion date of 8/26 (which is obviously rapidly approaching).

Looks like the SFL Composer is underway and headed South!

TYD updated to Production Complete a few days ahead of the 8/26 est. However, it isn't showing an actual completion date, just the 8/26 placeholder. Also, I thought the factory was still shutdown for the summer so who knows if this is accurate or not.

I came here to say that. I have never cared so much about a ship's movements. Cudos to the dock workers and crew for turning it around in about 18 hours. Impressive.

Mine just updated to “Start Production” on TYD, w/ anticipated Production Complete still 8/26. Maybe this is real progress for both of us?
