RIOT,

Feel like doing an IC pump install at the GTG? haha. I am hoping to pick order one and have it by the end of the week. Unless someone knows where I can pick on up locally...

I'm hoping to install it before the GTG, but don't know if I can get it to me so I can install Saturday.

Z- as long as you have the tools and the clamps...and a jack to lift the front it can be done very quickly!

With out lifting front/side...I'm too fat ta get under that front.

Some Euro guys might be there...call them and ask them to bring tools and a jack...but then ya have to pick up there bar tab.

If ya bring the right stuff I'm there for ya...I'm not gonna have tools or a jack with me...and I am not coming from home so I won't have access to my tools ahead of time either.....Wife is bringing me my car to come to the event.

Its real easy to do....you will spend more time getting ready to do it and cleaning your hands then doing it.

Guys, I live very close to where we're meeting. You can always come over and get it done in my garage. I have a jack and tools, but don't know if I have the right tools.

Thanks for the offer of wrench time...

I actually emailed Jerry today about picking up a part from them this week. Long story short, I ended up heading over to Eurocharged (about 20min drive) and getting them to do the install right there. Jerry told me Jake was there so I said done and headed over...

Got there and they had an E55 on the lift putting a new HE on it...fun to watch the install...

They got it down and put my up. 30min later it was done and back off the lift. Well worth the little extra labor costs and it was great chatting with Jake in person for a few hours.

So I wont need to do the IC pump install this weekend.

Bad news is, my SC still likes to disengage from time to time, just like it did prior to the pump install...so now I have to dig into the forum and see if I discover the problem...or else I may take it back over to Eurocharged this week...

I disconnected the battery tonight and will reconnect in a half an hour...crossing my fingers resetting the computer fixes it, thougth for some reason I don't think it will...

I hope Jerry gets back from his tuning tour of NY/NJ this week and maybe he can hook up the car and see whats wrong...

Either way I'm coming out to the GTG this weekend.

On a side note: Apparently I was the first Black SRT Jake has ever had in his shop haha. Also, Jake's C32 looks amazing.

Well Matt,
At least you now know the IC pump is new and that worry won't be on your mind once you resolve the issue.
Ya should have called me ...I would have come over and hung out with ya guys.
I've been to their shop before to and it's not far from my house either.

When you head back over there, take a spin in my car and see how you like it.
