End of the day:
Made some pretty good progress today, though "bolt-on kit" fitment issues continued to slow him down a bit. The subframe is tacked back into place, but won't be fully secured until he's certain it won't have to come back off for anything else. Oil pan now has the return line connected and is back in place, and various lines have been installed. All the piping has also been installed, but the one on the driver's side really gave him fits. He may have to perform some corrections to it once we try to fit/trim the bumper and see whether or not it interferes with the lower grille on that side--I do NOT want any pipes sticking out of my bumper (no offense to those of you who do). ;)
The good news: My ECU should be delivered by
tomorrow afternoon and the A/F gauge arrived today. (EIP wackiness for today:
They were going to ship it UPS Ground, which would take 3-4 days. I had to cough up
another $30 to expedite the shipping to get it here tomorrow.)
The bad news: There was a mix-up with the boost gauge, so it won't be arriving until
Monday.
