420R in Virginia

Congrats on finishing the build. I'm almost done with my 420R build, looks like we ran into some similar issues. Lots of guessing and the instruction manual seems to be very generic at times. My biggest issue has been missing parts, fasteners included. I'm currently stalled as I'm awaiting spacer cones for my race dampers.

There is a event at VIR July 22-24, still have slots available. Great way to run it in. www.hookedondriving.com

Well, finally got the last issue resolved: speed sensor.

Tried different speedometers, everything, except the speed sensor. It was in fact the speed sensor (yes, it blinked orange as expected at each tooth).

 

Then simple trial and error with a GPS app on my phone to calibrate speedometer.

 

The last thing- fitted an aluminum plate to cover my giant hole where the headers come out. With trial and (a lot of) error, I finally got a decent coat of black paint with rattle cans (shelf product at auto parts store was so much better! I had tried various hardware store options/combos of primer). Fitted exhaust clips for the first time as the final job.

Unpacking:

So surprised that they shipped it with the hood erected.  I figured it would come folded up in a  plastic bag (or in the duffel if one had been ordered).
