since the term 'second strike" has nuclear connotations and is banned in China. Is there another way I can get this detail, can you send me a PM? Thanks, John, AKA, tin-man

tin man,

I went to Voss today and saw some beauties including your Cobra.
The president of GoPro has his awesome GT40 there, Doug's Brock Coupe as well as a few CSX's, SPF Cobras and a couple hot rods.

I'm sure your anxious. Hang in there. :D

I wish I could say your wait is extreme but I have come to learn from my experience and others that no matter what Roush and others promise, it will tKe 3-4 more months than that. Hopefully soon but you were promised your car back about 4 months ago if I remember. i would start putting osme pressure on them to step it up and finish as I am sure they have already collected your money.

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the cobra faster (or somethig like that):)

Ron, you are correct I guess with a Cobra build it never goes according to plan....

however, we are on track to have the car complete so I can pick it up during the first two weeks of March. I'll be returning to the US at that time so it works out well for me.

Yeah, its a crying shame I could not get it during Christmas but I would rather wait a little while longer so it's done right and gets some pre delivery miles on it by Erick.

The single biggest downside of being an expat is stuff like this, I cannot be in somebodys face in person and must resort to either phone or email and its not the same, at least for me.:CRY:

That said, I am a patient guy [gotta be workin' in China] and look at in this way, when I do take delivery, all the crap, delays and dissapointments I have been thru will evaporate.%/

Cheers, John,AKA, tin-man

This is a very true statement "That said, I am a patient guy [gotta be workin' in China] and look at in this way, when I do take delivery, all the crap, delays and dissapointments I have been thru will evaporate."

Its amazing you get so pissed off and then bang you drive the car have a blast and almost instantaneously everything is right in the world. I will worn you though if you have more problems you get pissed off quicker, but take it for a drive and bang you are again happy.

Those are caps to prevent particles from entering the oil cooler until it is plumbed to the oil system. I gave mine a quick blast of compressed air just prior to hook up just to be sure.

Edit - sorry...thought the first page was the last one. I see the blue cap question was answered on page 2.

Finally got the spacer from Bowler
 
Yahooooo, now maybe we can get traction under this car and get the install in high gear, puns notwithstanding.:LOL: John, AKA, tin-man

tin-man 01-27-2011 02:34 AM

Finally, we got an engine installed.

Looks good Tinny.

xb-60 05-11-2011 09:58 PM

Hey tin-man,
Just saw the pics. Missed them before, somehow. So, that's what 572hp looks like? Nice, but...is that enough power? ;)
Cheers,
Glen

Glen, well I suppose I could always add a couple of Paxton blowers and a Roush turbocharger, but I am thinking, maybe it will be just fine as is. I'll let you know when I have had the opportunioty to drive the Beast of Roushwerks.:D

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
