Honestly, i was pretty sure that this was the situation. SEMA is the biggest show for all these manufactures. I know it has been a long wait but I just cant pull the plug on it now (what alot of people were talling me to do) especially waiting sooooo long. Things like these take time. SO anyways SEMA is November 3rd. Ill have it before then
that's 32 days from now, so good to know that you're being patient in light off the delay in delivery date.

keep us updated. i believe there are quite a few 2is owners that are quite anxious to see the end result.

He's just blowing smoke up your *** to buy himself another month of peace from you. If he has 5 cars that "have to be complete before SEMA", and yours isn't one of them, then your car will fall to the bottom of his priority list until after SEMA.

He's not being negative. It's the truth, they're just buying time. I mean c'mon...they had 4 months to complete. I'm still for the OP

And no matter how much time they want to take, it's simply impossible they'll deliver anywhere near their promised results on the stock engine internals.

After reading my post again, I don't see why you would call it "negative". It's just wisdom that comes from 39 years of life experience. I personally believe Wierdazndu's patience and gullability is WHY he still doesn't have his car back.

Have you ever heard the saying "The squeaky wheel gets the grease"? Wierdazndu isn't going to get any grease before SEMA unless he starts sqeaking louder than the owners of those other 5 cars that are supposed to be at SEMA.
