Not a big update by any means, but I was able to exchange a few texts with Uwe Ostmann over at XDI this morning. Asked him to "take my money" which he obliged and invoiced me accordingly. So the new XDI Injectors have been paid for.

Also, chatted with the engine builder as well recently. He's in the process of making room in his shop in order to accept the shell of my car to be housed there and some assembly / install work being able to begin.

Hoping to get the car out of my garage, and towed over there sometime in November. Certainly hoping to get it there before any snow flies in my area.

So that is all. Hope everyone's well. Seems like the COVID-19 #'s are going up all over the country. Yikes. Not a good sign. But in my own very light research, as it relates to the history of pandemics, there's not once been a "3rd wave". Ever. Of any kind of pandemic.

So hopefully all of us everywhere can manage through what is appearing to be the onset of the "2nd wave" and we can all come out of it ok.

fingers crossed

Awe yeah baby. Lookie lookie at what was delivered to my doorstep just now.

Blazing fast turn around from Uwe over at Xtreme DI.

From invoicing (& me paying said invoice immediately) to packing/shipping and delivery to my door.... a scant, blazing fast 3 days!

Big thanks to Uwe Ostmann over @ XDI.

Super excited to be implementing these inconjunction with the (previously purchased) XDI HPFP60 for my re-build.

**does a happy dance**

More updates as they occur. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

11/18/2020.....

Had a chance to speak with the builder yesterday on a newly released product for the platform (a higher volume oil pump) inquiring if that was/is something I should be incorporating into my build.

After discussing, was told at least for me specifically (due to other work already done) to just stick with the OEM part.

That said, the update here today is just to let the community know that the builder has been making progress on other projects of his, and he reported that he has been meeting with success, the making of room in his shop in order to accept the shell of my car into his facility.

He said "likely in a couple of weeks" (from now).

So I was happy with that tidbit of news. Otherwise, not much going on. Have been in a holding pattern since the last update due to the above.

Hope everyone's well, healthy, and safe. Try to enjoy whatever semblance of a Thanksgving y'all can. Cheers

Well my build thread's been very quiet if any of you have noticed.

Why? Well wasn't really much for me to post.

After the motor was completed (back in October 2020) I've been spending the better part of 4 months now, trying to get some answers, any answers out of / from my long time mechanic friend regarding the transmission.

After a myriad of excuses, and delay upon delay he finally returned my OEM transmission to me on 01/22/2021.

Despite what I had been told previously, and then re-assured that work was performed on it, I have since confirmed that the transmission was never once touched, opened, inspected, or even worked on this entire time that he has had it in his possession. Which counting back now, was the better part of 20 months now. Ugh.

I'm really at a loss. I've been with him now for 18+ years and he has witnessed all 3 of my kids not only grow up, but has been instrumental in maintaining our fleet of cars during that entire time frame.

Customarily one would be really like super IDK..... pissed off at this, right? But I find myself more so feeling sorry for him. 2020 was not kind to him. It would not be appropriate for me to expound, or go into great detail. Not really for public consumption. Suffice to say, he is not well and appears to be struggling through numerous personal and business issues as a result. I wish him well and have left the door open to assisting him, if I even can.

That said and moving along, in the same breath, I must completely acknowledge and thank Max Power for immediately stepping into his place and offering to complete the SHO project. Continued custom fabrication work, final assembly, and even arranging for tuning when that time comes. They continue to impress me repeatedly and I can't thank them enough.

Max Power has communicated with an entirely new, and separate trans vendor, one that he personally vouched for, and spoke very highly of to take up this aspect of the project and run with it.

That new trans vendor has picked up my SHO transmission on 01/29/2021 and has already gone to town on it.

Here are some pictures of how the transmission appeared, when it was dropped off by the mechanic, to Max Power. Just ugly to see. I have no idea what happened during that entire time. In the next post, I'll place pictures of the trans disassembled.......

02/06/2021 (continued part 2)......

Yesterday, 01/05/2021, I received these pictures from Max Power. They were sent to him by the new trans vendor.

I was told my trans definitely showed some signs of wear, but he said for the abuse it was put through, that it was not really that bad at all. Especially for what it was put through.

The main clutches looked like they're burnt. 2nd gear looked worn. It was also mentioned that convertor lockup material was found in the trans as well. So the OEM Torque Convertor was likely showing signs of failure also. But again, overall, not bad all things considered. I was told that my extreme regimen / maintenance proved beneficial in it lasting as long as it did.

So thus far, the solenoid pack assembly has been replaced. All pistons, filter, speed sensors, etc. replaced. Essentially  acomplete overhaul kit has been performed thus far.

I'll be entertaining suggestions on how to proceed as far as any upgrades, or strengthening what can be strengthened as the vendor does more digging and reports back accordingly.

But that's pretty much it for now. I am elated to be back on track, again thanks entirely to Max Power. I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge wanting to throw in the towel and just be done with this crap. But I leaned on a close friend and fellow SHO owner for guidance, and an objective look at the situation overall and that helped me tremendously in getting my excitement about this project renewed and reenergized.

I hope to provide more regular updates in the near future. Thank you for everyone's continued support and understanding. As well as putting up with the long reads.

Whew!

Thanks for the update.
Is this the same "mechanic" that put the trans cooler in my SHO?

It is indeed.

Really hoping he gets better and comes back around. He's super talented. Unfortunate and disheartening to bear witness too.

WOW! What an incredibly strange turn of events.

I just learned that my long time mechanic friend passed away yesterday, 02/07/21.

I don't have any details, but what a loss.

Condolences to his surviving family. Particularly his young children. As well as to his coworkers, his employees, friends, etc.
