Wow Lance I have been following the thread eventhough I don't own my fx any more I still frequent the IS to keep up with friends and the community. I can't imagine what you are feeling since the last time we met you were so excited about your research and finds as well as the money you poured into other mods to make it all show and go. Wish you luck as well as support..
 
Thanks Ojay, I appreciate the support =) This project was actually done months ago but there has been a "fly in the ointment" as they say......I have learned a lot and added more to the list as we have moved forward, but whatever the issue is it keeps hammering away at our progress.

How is your new ride man? Been modding it up?
 
Sorry to hear. :(

Is there any way you could have it sent to JWT for the work? Nothing against Charles, but sometimes it's best to cut out the middle man. Same situation with my tune...
 
Dagnabit! Not the news we wanted to hear but our pain isn't close to what you must be feeling.

Hope you're holding up okay.



 
Oh wow, sorry to hear that Lance. Hope you get everything resolved and find a better solution. Is that you hiding behind the engine with the blue gym shoes? :smile.:
 
I just read though all 20 pages and felt like I was on a roller coaster ride, I can only imagine how YOU must be feeling. Hopefully all chips fall into place soon and you'll get your MUCH improved DD back.
 
Sorry to hear that Lance, just don't give up...

Not yet, just needing some confirmation about what the issue is and if I can get some help from above =)

Sorry to hear. :(

Really not a bad idea. I was hoping maybe that JWT might suggest flat bedding it down, working out the issues and having their team finish it up.

Like a loss in the family.....but its happened enough now that I'd just like resolve with no more outlay.

You and me both Andrew, so much opportunity for the VK45 and yet it all remains unproven. Ha, I have no idea who that is lurking behind the engine....

Thanks man......Roller coaster, no kidding. I really hope it all comes togther with everything I had hoped to achieve, i'd hate to give up anything now.
 
Lance, I felt sick to my stomach when I read this.
You have been extremely patient with this build and then another obstacle is tossed in your path. With the other things you have on your plate and now this. Hang in there, the Silver Surfer Story will have a happy ending.
 
And I thought I had patience, Lance :(

This is one of the only threads I frequent on an every-other-day basis. Soon, you will be the 45 king :)

Godspeed!!
 
Lance, I'm sorry to hear that you keep having problems with your build, bro. You and I spoke about the JWT cams in the 45s and I hate to say it, but what I thought is proving to be true. Honestly, I'm surprised that they didn't just ask you to send your engine to them after the first couple of problems just to save face and show that they're standing behind what they sell. That being said, I'm glad that you're sticking to your guns with this build and pushing forward even through the setbacks. I'm certain that when this finally gets figured out that it will all be worth it. Please continue to keep us posted as to your progress, we're all rooting for you.

I'm discussing nitrous for my build with Mine's, and soon, Boost Logic. It looks promising so far, but I'm probably going to have to go full standalone.

Dang Lance, sorry to hear about all your trouble's. Hopefully everything will be resolved. At least your headers look beautiful!

Hey looking at your pics, I figured it out! No wonder why....this guy has a hole in his shoe. How can you expect him to put a whole engine together without it falling apart! lol

sorry to hear this buddy, but I know you'll get it running even better than before. Everything seems to happen for some reason or another and sometimes takes a long time to realize why...you'll know one day and you'll be better for it...you'll see. Good luck with the build.
 
Wow sorry Lance for your string of bad luck lately. Just look on the bright side with the JWT crew coming over maybe they can get the vk56 in your ride.
