Yeah, not a very happy guy. 15k dollars deep in this build and the only issue I have is a $300 dollar downpipe haha. I might end up keeping the manifold incase I can't sell it, if I do this I will have it heat coated.

11/23/10: Yesterday I was supposed to receive a tracking number, that never happened. Today I sent an email to Tony@ Fab-Worx requesting a tracking number, never got a response. This afternoon I was bored and figured I would atleast see how the manifold looked on my car. Guess what doesn't fit? The manifold's flange has 3 bolt holes that are off by atleast a 1/4 inch. I tried it on my car and on my dads spare LS head just to double check, it didn't fit either of the heads. So I call Fab-Worx up and get their answering machine, go figure. I left a message telling Tony to just keep the downpipe and refund me my money, and to also expect to see his manifold back at the shop because it doesn't fit.

I went to my bank to see what I had to do to get my $700 back for the manifold that doesn't fit. They informed me that in order to file a dispute for that ammount, I must first ship the manifold back to Fab-Worx at my expense. $32 dollars later it is now on its way back to Florida. There is a signature required since its a business and I also put $700 dollars insurance on it just to cover my ass.

12/30/10: Well its seems like forever since I have bought anything for the teg, which is has been quite a while. With that said, I bought some stuff today! Picked up a PWR intercooler and a Limited Edition Black HKS blowoff valve. I got both of these for less then what the bov sells for by its self!!

12/31/10: The spending continued today. I had the extra money and took a poll of what to buy between my friends and my gf. The unanimous winner was this. Precision 6262SP JB, .82AR Vband. I bought it from ImportDPS, no one could touch their pricing!! I'll post pics up Thursday when it arrives

1/7/10: Had the day off today from work and school, which is never a good thing haha. Leaves me with way too much free time to do random shit. One of those random things was painting my intercooler. Now before you go and say "omgz your gonna have so much hot air", you should research a little. Painting the intercooler does not effect anything as long as you don't clog shit up by packing it full of paint. I sprayed mine at a downward angle to avoid any clogging. I mainly did it because I didn't really want a shiny silver intercooler hanging out in front of my car lol. My intercooler piping and couplers will be black as well.
