48 hour until delivery. We expect photo's and a video.
Why the hate for the Lobster? As I had a set of summers and winters. I cleaned them every season. Very nice wheel. Light and well designed.
I remember everyone moving from the cookie cutter to the BBS honeycomb. Now the cookie cutter is back.

Agreed, but that must have been a tired stock motor. Good luck with yours!

She is here!
I met the transport at Love's Truckstop 7 miles from the house Thursday night at 8:30ish. I saw it from the street while it was still on the trailer and I got goose bumps. Pulled in and there she was. When the car was being taken off the trailer the exhaust note with the Fisters/200 cell cats/X51 headers made my heart beat a bit faster. Once I got in with the car warmed up all I can say is......Sweet Geebus Mother of Pearl!!! This is really going to be a fun car. It's been a wait alright but damn this is worth it.
Changing the wheels was a chore. The lugs came off fine with my impact but the wheels took some persuasion with a 5 lb beater to get them off.
Had a good drive this morning. The cars grunts good (actually REAL GOOD) and the torque between 3 and 6K is head snapping.
Here are a few pics with the car on the trailer and parked where she belongs!

Yes the car started it's life as a 3.8 and is now a 4 liter. Along with car came a USB memory stick. On it are all the dis-assembly photos of the 3.8. What a disaster for the eyes.
So far this is a very happy camper.

For me to complete the look I had the Aerokit Cup mounted. Picked it up last Friday. I really like how it turned out.....paint matched up pretty decent. As for the motor?......well all I have to say is $hit damn JoeBob this thing is exactly what I was hoping for and more. If anyone wants to contact me regarding my dealings with FSI and Jake feel free.

Man, the car looks incredible !!! What a machine!
If you ever find yourself passing through Canada with the car (specifically Ontario) make sure you give me the heads up. I can only imagine what a blast it must be out on the roads.
