I've been watching this thread since day one....you can't make these things up! Would make a great book...start writing....

 

So far she's still running. Pulls nice in 3rd and up. Still have PO412 fault and I've seen a small hole in an air line so I'm hoping that's it.


Haven't had time to look into these issues yet so any ideas are welcome.


1. Fuel gauge reads empty and the fuel light is on.
2. Fob doesn't operate door locks. Changed batteries, still no deal.
3. High pitched noise coming from under the intake on the drivers side by the firewall.

 

Well that would also be calculated into 42,648 HOURS
What was the hourly labor rate for this project
I'm glad ya got it back and I hope it is all you have hoped for

Question:
How do the balance of us who ponied up a deposit for this cluster f*** get our money returned ???????????? Last I read Corky wasn't even considering returning deposits until tighed 1's build was completed. What's the process ?

 

Just wait another two weeks.

 

Try to keep us up to speed on this great project and Merry Christmas & Happy new year !

 

Last from Cork.


"If all goes well here in the next two weeks, I will begin refunding the deposits.


Corky"


LOVES his two weeks!

 

Still running. THAT's a good thing! Haven't driven it much as I have other vehicles & bikes to drive.
Pulls nicely when the turbo hits. Wish I knew someone with a stock XF so I can compare the difference.
My turbo guy sez the turbo looks like a Gt28. Whatever that means.
Car is LOUD when you dump the clutch or down shift. Sounds like when a semi hits the air brake. Don't like it.
Will post more later. Life is busy!

 

If you ever venture up to the big city I have an I modded limited.

I think you may have discovered why I have no AC on the drivers side. Not familiar with the heating/cooling in's and out's on these cars. Guess it's time to learn.

 

So Corky installed a jake brake on your car as well...lol. Sorry... Maybe lost a few parts on the re-stall... You don't need heat or air for a race car anyway DJ.

 

Wow. I can't believe I didn't see this thread.
Sooo glad you got you car comoleted, I have sooo many questions.
Do you know if he changed any internals like pistons to lower compression and do you have a boost gauge and know how much psi it is running atm?
If we know these two, not hard to get a close estimate on hp, since every additional atmosphere doubles hp, 14.7 psi or 1 bar, but if they lowered the compression ratio then base engine would have less hp, and different to calculate l.
The exhaust sound sounds like how mine sounded before I had shop redo my exhaust, I couldn't hardly stand how it sounded for the 1 week I drive it.
I like the 0 drone I have now.

 

Congratulations on the new addition (SRT), but I've been waiting 6 months, for you to post more pics, with the cover off. If you would, please and also, does it fly. Does it need wings ( pun intended).
