2009 Karma Metallic G8 GT The best gift you can give to someone is your time,because you're giving them something that you can never get back
Ray, you're in Indy right? Did you take it to Skillman? I actually drove over to them last year to have a few things done. Long story short, my local dealership had really dropped the ball and Skillman took care of everything and more. There's definitely good dealerships out there if you can find them.

Actually I had the work done at Jaggers in Lebanon. They know me and only a 2 mile tow. Skillmans is a great dealership, but 35 miles 1 way.Originally Posted by CommodoreG8

Oh okay. Good to have choices. 35 versus 2 is a big difference one way.

The car is back home and Rylos came over to the the Vararam off my hands. Got the car back up on blocks. Modified the energy absorber so it fits the crash bar.
Power steering hose is relocated. The under hood power cables are relocated. Working on getting the down pipe installed. It is almost in but I need to use a punch and hammer to get it the rest of the way on. A/C lines need to be wrapped with DEI tape.
.....back to work
Down pipe is on, the flange was caught on the oil drain hose. Slight turn of the fitting and it fell in..
Connection pipes are proving to be the next challenge. Trying to bolt up the flange first now. Exhaust has to come off.

5am post. Your dedicated! Great project you have going.
It was 8:14 when I posted that. But I've been in the shop since a little after 5. This thing is a fight the whole time, but I will win!
Rest in Peace Charlie!

You wanted a project and you definitely got one. It'll be worth it when it's done though.

Install complete. I have a small oil leak so it can't be driven far until that's looked at. I only went into boost once for a couple seconds.
Need to modify left front inner tub. I think I'm rubbing the charge pipe as well. I think a hammer will fix that.
Video uploading.
EDIT: The oil leak was the dip stick tube not installed at the time of my little shake down run.
