The first box I got form Begi in 2007 was filled with packing peanuts. It sucked so badly trying to go through it and make sure I did not miss any small random bags of parts.

 

you should have taken a video, Mike

almost spilled my coffee reading that post hahaha

 

Canyon, I've hit a delay on the engine build.

Trackspeed cannot get the engine shipped before early to mid april (from early March). As a result, I'm delayed 1-1.5months on my build.

I'll give you 2 weeks notice when I have it together. I'm trying to hurry it up as much as possible, but not having the engine here kind of slows down the whole build a lot.

 

I'm pretty excited, gotta admit. Not sure why this hasn't been done yet.

I was wondering on how we could go about extending the short runners on the vics manifold but not the long runners, perhaps some sort of spacer in a wedge shape? Of course than we have the issue of the tbody moving..

 

I am in for results! Real dyno testing is worth more than all the bench racing in the world

Will you be using an electronic actuator to operate the vics runner?
Maybe I'm missing something, but the vacuum operated actuator won't work so well under boost - which could/would explain why I didn't see **** on the dyno.
I'll have to go back and look at the vacuum routing again, once the engine is all back together.
In for results

 

The manifold has a vac chamber with a check valve built into the manifold. Even N/A the car isnt making any vacuum at full throttle.

 

It's confirmed, I'm an idiot. Bet that's not the only thing I'm missing either.
Thanks for clarity

 

Got a "surprise" package from Pinky today. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:










So, uh...


Apparently Pinky really likes me.

 

Fantastic. Just fantastic.

 

What the ****?!? They ruined my box!

 

For reals.. It looks like they opened it and re-taped it a million damned times. Did the kitty sing Happy Birthday when the dick popped out???

 

*******! Did they even re-set the spring-loaded ****, or did they just fold it the **** over???

 

USPS doesnt have a sense of humor. Youre probably on a terrorist watch list now.

 

Reminder to self, don't buy anything from pinky. A spring loaded ***** with a singing postcard? Wow. WOW!

 

Thank you for posting this and props to both of ya. Very nice job on the packaging.

 

They folded it. Sadface. I'm pretty confident your packaging scheme offended someone, considering what they did to obscure the dicks. ;p

 

Win.

 

 

Well, it WAS a masterpiece of art and engineering when it left here. Leave it to UPS to ****-block my bid to be the Official MT Rude Packaging Czar. This video was shot just before we added the pop-out Kitty that meows "Happy Birthday".
