[Irace86.2.0]

I also found a local shop who will do some welding for me. I'll just tack weld everything, and they will do the rest.

Cake, just downloaded ESP and looked. Settings > Functions > Air Temp > Open > GM > OK.

Do you think there is room for the stock airbox or will it run into the pulley or TB? I like an OEM look, so my plan was to keep it. Also, I planned to do some rivnuts for the catch cans, and I was going to mount them along the driver's side frame rail. I just don't know yet what the clearance will be like with the AC compressor there. Do you think there is 6-8'' for some catch cans? I have two big ones that I wanted to put side by side, so I will have them along the whole frame rail, but I might be able to keep them more towards the back side. I just don't have a picture of the clearance of these two areas. I guess I will find out soon too. My parts should be here tomorrow minus the flywheel.

I highly doubt the stock airbox will even come close to fitting, I wouldn't bother with it.


Use the radium catch can that goes above the brake booster, its easy and well priced.

Fedex never knocked or rang, but said no one is home. They never left a slip on the door. I’ll have to wait until Monday. One week delay. I hate FedEx.

I got lucky and also unlucky with mine today. Only 4 of 5 boxes arrived. Luckily it was only the driveshaft so got to spend the afternoon admiring and tinkering. Tomorrow I’ll get the driveshaft. Still waiting on the flywheel though so won’t matter.

Try leaving a note on your door giving permission to leave in on your doorstep. If it’s signed I think they will consider that valid.

So i had a note for yesterday when I missed the package, but I wasn’t about to sign the notice for them to leave $8k+ of parts on my doorstep.

Didn't think about that. Wishing I just had the package delivery to my work so I wouldn't have to worry about being home. When you get it all in, I think you'll be pleased with the quality. Really happy with everything I've received so far.

I think there might be room further back too. Hard to tell from that pic, but that gives me an idea. I have some Amazon cans that are pretty big—750ml—so I don’t know how they compare. I think those are 240ml each.

Fedex is a joke! It takes almost 7 days for me to get anything delivered even if its local. I sent kpower UPS labels and had my stuff delivered THE NEXT day via GROUND on my own dime.


You would be best off having fedex do a hold at a location like CVS or whatever local store they offer that at and going to pick it up when you have time.

That’s what I did. I’m sure they will mess that up too.

Did you get your parts?

One box was able to be directed to a FedEx pickup location. Two remaining boxes are FedEx home delivery, which is like Tuesday through Sunday, so they won’t be delivered today, and I am not off on a Tuesday until the 30th. The other box is FedEx Ground, which is Monday through Friday, so it should go out today and be delivered. I will need to park a lawn chair outside to make sure I get it. Customer Service dude was useless. Nothing could be changed or merged. Despite me saying I was at work, they made delivery attempts all week. In order to avoid possibly having the boxes be returned to Kpower, I put them on a vacation hold for six days starting tomorrow until I am available to be home.

Again, FedEx is special-ed, little-bus status. 2021, and there is no simple way to text or communicate with a driver or customize the delivery options. Apparently the shipper dictates if the package can be rerouted to a drop off location, or maybe it isn’t included in the type of delivery service, but come on FedEx; this is a perfect opportunity to upsell by charging a small fee to have it rerouted. Especially when they lack the customer service personnel to have people pick up the package from a shipping hub, you would think they would want to do something to offload packages faster or be efficient by not attempting deliveries when no one is home.
