Rare Ara S3 Vortex XL build

How tf does that even happen ? I assume it was dropped at some point. I didn’t bring it to the builder that way but I have a photo from when I picked it up and it’s broken.

Do you have any good pics of that section from back in Feb? Ideally you could show that it wasn't from your install of the motor, but I know they'll blame the fact that you didn't have them install the motor for you.

Yes. Thankfully I have a pic of when it was loaded into the truck that’s backed into their shop.

My P3 EVSA is bad. So they’re replacing it which is nice.

Received revision 2 on Monday. Just sent out new datalogs. Car feels pretty quick. Using the AP to monitor things I realize that the coolant temps seem to be fine so perhaps I was paranoid about nothing. Awaiting a new ethanol adapter. Probably move forward with E30 or full E tune in near future. Local dyno is booking in mid June.
Also picked up some street density motor mounts. Might work on getting that installed this weekend.

What's the word on that oil leak?

It’s more of a seep than a leak. What you saw there took 2 months. I’ll take it to them when I have the time. I haven’t even contacted them

Skip the blend shit and go full E. You don't have to worry about mixing and you get more power. Should be a "no brainer" since you have MPI.

Haha I knew that was coming!

Yeah, mixing sucks, except the mileage hit from full E85.

Ain't that the truth! I can get 200 miles to a full tank if I don't floor it or do any WOT pulls.

That's right. Who cares about mpg when you have more...

If they’re not concerned about this much noise from a new build then I’m not rushing to have them look at an oil pan gasket. This much racket is just embarrassing. It goes away once it warms up.
