IX RS Build
Get Mike or one of crew to coat that front bracing in the engine compartment, mang. Put tha brakes on that corrosion before it puts the "breaks" on yo fast ride.
We are definitely eager to see and hear this thing moving on its own power. Based on what I know about Mike and his crew is that they do things like we do....he won't let it go unless it is right.
Too bad you had to unwrap all the shrink wrap. Just wanted to ensure a safe delivery.

Yup i think all it's waiting on is the chute mount.
Brian would you happen to have any other angled pics of the cage like the a pillar going through the dash if it indeed does?
I know what you will be giving thanks for this year

Paul- The cage is not yet certified. I have the contact and he lives in the same town
Just a matter of getting the car home and him being in town. My cage builder is going to do the chute and just call him over.
Patrick- Yes, here are more pics.
And for the bad news. I have been up front about the build and update as I get info. We have found a problem. We are unsure of the cause at this point. The car is in the best possible hands and thank God it was caught. Buschur and AWDMOTORSPORTS are working extra hard to rememdy the situation. For that I am thankful. The entire car was ready for tuning. It was started on Wednesday and sounds super NASTY. But as I said, there is a set back that has to be addressed. I want to be pissed off, but that won't fix the problem. I will know more tomorrow and will update everyone as to how I think it will affect me time wise.

Hey Brian sorry to hear the issues If there is something we can do to help let me know. Mike and the AWD Crew are I am sure more than capable of diagnosising then problem solving the situation. Don't worry about the timing just keep on your path as you had planned....it will happen when it happens....we are all just as excited today as we were back 3 months ago. You are known to do things right the first time around but un fortunately sometimes things don't show their ugly head until the key gets turned....we are here for you in any way we can....

On a good note, I am posting a video of it running today in a few minutes. Also have a few more pics. The car seems to run great for no tune, 1600cc injectors, and E85. Mike and everyone are doing a great job and doing it right. We are methodically working out all possibilities. It will be remedied, it is just a matter of time. I have the greatest support, so no worries, my head is being held high. I have bought all the race gear and am ready when the car is. I will say, it sounded mean in person.......
