Tesla Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks guys! I'm still waiting for the E9 to arrive...should be here soon.
mackd Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I bought three E9 and waited two months for delivery.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 9, 2017 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.
Tesla Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks guys! Based on past purchases that I've made, I'm sure it's worth the wait
Tesla Posted February 24, 2017 Author 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!

Dieselhead Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Looks great, I'm quite the fan of that metallic blue. What did you use for that? At any rate, she's shaping up to be fantastic.
