DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This thing is looking Awesome! Very nice work!!The last order that I got from Auslowe took 3 weeks to process, then they sent me an email telling me that my order was shipped, then it took 3 more weeks for the mailman to get it here. I was very satisfied with what I received though and would order again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) The E9 engine arrived a few days ago, and I decided to detail it. With the basic components assembled, I installed the fuel injector lines. This is my first attempt with this type of detailing, and I’m glad I did it. Now I can complete the drivetrain!
