It would appear as if USPS has lost my coupling that attaches the MAF to my CAI. Tracking says delivery on the 21st, but also says that it hasn't left the facility in California. USPS FTW!

It's the Pope...
I know I've had quite a few deliveries scheduled for this week that have been delayed for the Papal visit. I know you're miles and miles away but just thinking here? Lol
 
Would have much rather gone for powder coating, but it's not in the cards right now. Will be swapping intakes soon-ish anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter. I do love this paint.

Well, here's the to-do list. Nothing big, just time consuming. Got some more painting and fitting done. There's about 3/8" clearance between the CAI and the strut tower and should get another 1/8" when everything is clamped into place.

And yes, first chance I get, those spark plug wires are TRASH.

I had a to do list when I was putting my car together. At one point I was adding two new things "to do" for every one I completed. It got depressing there for a bit. But hey, now the car is done... well, not really, there is always something else "to do"! (because racecar)

The seller may have just handed it to his regular postal carrier who didn't bother to scan the barcode label... It has happed to me several times before.
