Well, she's JUST about road worthy. Going to drive it over to the shop tomorrow, throw it on the hoist and mate the downpipe, waste gate dump, and exisiting exhaust.
I've been fighting a couple issues though this week.
1) My heater fan began crapping out intermittently last year. When I pulled the dash off I found a lovely gift from CP racing, the previous owner. The logicon harness haad been molested to no end. Wires just cut with fuses placed in them, wires cut and looped back to other wires, teeing into wires that lead nowhere.......I cleaned it up and put it "back to stock" but when I put the dash in and tried the fan, no go. Grabbed my known good S5 logicon - still no go.
Somewhere, I have no idea where, there's a massive short. I have continuity to ground through both wires on the heater fan. If you try to jumper power to the + side of the fan (without disconnecting the stock harness) you just blow the fuse on the jumper wire. For now so I can defrost if I need to, I'm just jumpering power to the fan with the stock wire cut off......I'll ahve to tug the dash again down the line and really comb this bitch over......I hate finite little issues like this, I garuntee when I find I'll go "no shit that was easy" after 3 days of work
2) My laptop. Brand new acer asipre One. I bought it for the SOLE PURPOSE of tuning my car. It works absolutely flawlessly, until you're online with the ECU. Then randomly it'll go to a blue screen for 2 seconds with a bunch of stuff about terminal error, dumping physical memory - then it shuts off and restarts.......absolute BS and PITA. I'm going to resurrect the old trusty rusty unit and load the software and see what it does.
I've spoke to electromotive and they told me its a laptop issue, not specific to the WINTEC software
My luck continues!!!
