Yeah, it's a old thread and I'm still waiting to get it back.

Hitting the 14 month mark.

I sold them a few months back and got a set of FN10-R and bought some Corbeau seats that are STILL sitting in my garage.

Yours is coming along, just a few more minor things.. Patient is a virtue.... Zen Motors will get it going for you, especially if Torrey is working on it. I think Dan even took a video of the car running while I was there. GL and keep us posted on the end results.
Still waiting on said video as well.

Patience is virtue...but it does have a shelf-life

I talked to Dan the day before yesterday, and he said the new set of twins are installed and the car actual moves. I think they are close. Torey has been working his butt off on it, per Dan.

Be positive man, at least you are close by, and can check on it at your discretion. It is some progress.

I'm still waiting....STILL waiting....

...this transmission harness is proving to be too much work for them and now they are searching for yet ANOTHER motor to complete a swap that 15 months overdue.

DuWerke, how is Zen Motors treating ya? I live in Dallas, but work in Kennesaw and trying to figure out on who to take my car to. (Mainstream is right next to me.) Have some plans. But just don't want to go to a shop until I have a clear idea of what to do/funds since I don't wanna bother these guys haha,

Mainstream hands down.

I had a tC that got boosted by them and I loved it. Charles and James are good people.

So you've been waiting over a year for what exactly? This shop doesn't sound very experienced at all? I could piece a whole car together bolt by bolt faster than this. You better get some huge delay discounts man...

15+ months for a professional shop to do a 2jzgte swap is way too long.
