Extremely busy day at the shop today!
Started the day off working on the motor swap 350z project. Went ahead and pulled the rack to replace once I get new tie rod ends tomorrow, and made the final touches to get the motor ready to come out. Only a couple bolts, couple fuel rails, and the wiring harness and the current motor will be out. Going JDM HR for the replacement, and will be getting a custom Import Transition tune as well using UpRev!
Next I met with a customer with a VA WRX that is looking to get into modifying and tuning the vehicle. This specific car is pretty high mileage so he’s going to bring it in for a whole inspection and compression test before he installs intake/downpipe/EBCS and a Cobb Accessport and we get a solid tune done with MiG tuning.
After that a long term tuning customer with a Coyote F150 stopped by. Trying to deal with an obvious header issue on his aftermarket headers, I had sent him to other shops to get it checked out but they ended up retuning the vehicle and getting the same idle issues with less power. So looks like I’ll be removing the headers on the truck, inspecting gaskets and making a decision on whether they will be reinstalled with proper gaskets or OEM is going back on.
Finished up the day taking a trip to Port Arthur to get a K20 RSX ready to get tuned. Car is freshly put together and it seems like they did a great job. Just need to get the wideband installed into the KPro V4 and they will get the Import Transition Honda secret sauce!
Seems like the area really missed me while I was gone. All glory to God for getting me in front of these new customers, the Import Transition family is growing by the day!
