As of this post I have not received an e-mail from BJ's about my head and intake manifold.
Here it is Friday and I still haven't received my head or intake manifold yet. Haven't received an e-mail either to tell me it has shipped or what the tracking number is. It's been a week now since the last e-mail and it's also been a week since the phone has been shut off at BJ's. At this point I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy a brand new cylinder head and send it to AMS like I should have the first time. By the time I get my parts from BJ's the Evo XV will probably be out.

BTW, does the Accufab TB come with an IAC?

well its an accufab throttle body NOTE: it must me modified by a good welder you will need an old throttle body from a Talon because you have to cut off the part off that connects the throttle cable and well the parts on because the tb looks like it has a metal linkage and then you have to block off the idle control valve with like an aluminum plate because the mustang one has a hole in the bottom of it. But Matt from slick made a lil aluminum plate that blocked it off and then he cut that talon throttle body apart for the cable. you can use any subaru throttle body piece too except the sti of course but who would waste an sti throttle body... but ya its a 3.25" throttle body. also note you cant use the stock ecu i dont think because you wont have an idle control valve no more...

I don't understand why people keep sending Bj their money and expensive parts, after knowing that he takes a long time to get your **** back. I wouldn't send him a penny if it were me.

finishing up.

Here are some pics of the car finishing up, I really like the way the Magnus looks in there with that Throttle body, turned out good imo. Just gotta get my valve cover powder coated by my friend Anthony yet. And I am waiting on connectors for Switzer's ignition system.

This car was built by Slickmotorsports out of cleveland, he welded all the piping and the manifold himself. The motor is a mess right now it needs polished, i just took quick photos because i wanted some pics of it for my page.. i will get some clean photos this weekend
